The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast embarked on a girls trip over the weekend amid production on season nine and nowhere in sight was Lisa Vanderpump.
As reports suggest the restaurateur is currently estranged from the cast, aside from her newest co-star Denise Richards, Camille Grammer shared a photo of the women standing in front of what appeared to be a large camper.
In the image, Camille stood next to Denise and returning cast members Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi, Teddi Mellencamp, Dorit Kemsley, and Kyle Richards.
“Road trip,” Camille wrote in the caption.
Lisa R. and Erika were first to confirm rumors of tension between Lisa V. and the rest of the cast and did so on Instagram during what was supposed to be a group photo shoot.
“Rumor has it that one of the cast members won’t shoot with us. They won’t do a group shot with us. So we’re sequestered in a room. But somebody’s holding out and won’t come out and shoot with us, can you imagine?” Lisa R. asked in a now-deleted post. “Who is that? … They’re going to have to, like, put her, in a computer-like way.”
Although Lisa R. didn’t reveal it was Lisa V. who she was referring to, Erika later confirmed it to The Daily Pop.
A short time later, a source spoke to Us Weekly about Lisa V.’s apparent estrangement from her co-stars.
“She is not talking to any of the cast except for Denise,” an insider told the magazine earlier this month. “There have been numerous attempts from the other cast members to reach out to her and they have gone unanswered.”
IS LISA VANDERPUMP AT RISK OF BEING FIRED BY BRAVO?
According to the report, things between Lisa V. and her co-stars became tense after the women caught her in a lie.
“The women feel like Lisa doesn’t want to face them and confront the situation. She has kept her distance and now that’s creating more problems with the cast,” the insider said.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season nine is expected to premiere on Bravo TV later this year.
