On Friday, Lisa Rinna surfaced on social media for the first time since her departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where she shared a series of posts with her fans and followers. Plus, longtime co-star and friend Erika Jayne reacted to her exit with a comment.
As she looked back on the eight years she starred on the Bravo reality series, Rinna said she had a “good run” on the show before teasing her online audience about her potential return.
“We had a good run,” Rinna shared on January 6. “Love you! See you soon!”
Although Rinna didn’t clarify what she meant by “see you soon,” her supporters certainly hope that she’s signaling to a potential return to television, even to RHOBH, perhaps after a Dorinda Medley-type “pause.” As we all know, Rinna certainly could have used a break from the show after the tragic death of her mom, Lois Rinna, in late 2021.
In two additional posts shared to her Instagram Story, Rinna mentioned her “iconic run” on the show and said her exit was the “end of an era.”
In response to Rinna’s Instagram post, Erika weighed in, calling her ex-castmate the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.).
“GOAT … Love you Lisa,” she wrote, along with a red heart emoji and three kissing emojis.
Rinna confirmed she would not be featured on the upcoming 13th season of RHOBH with a statement to PEOPLE on Thursday, insisting the decision was a mutual one between her and Bravo.
“This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series,” Rinna stated. “It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!”
While many fans were disappointed by Rinna’s exit from RHOBH, Lisa Vanderpump seemed to share a celebratory post about her departure on Twitter just after the news broke.
“Ding dong,” she tweeted, appearing to signal to the phrase, “Ding dong, the witch is dead.”
Filming on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is expected to begin later this month.
