After Reality Blurb exclusively shared that Lisa Rinna is in talks to return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, an alleged DM of Kyle Richards has leaked of her responding to claims she shot a “farewell” scene on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip – which celebrated the franchise’s 20th anniversary.
Amid complaints that the past few seasons of RHOBH have been too boring, rumors surfaced that Kyle may be exiting the show. Meanwhile, an insider told Reality Blurb that Lisa was in negotiations to return, and that her one stipulation is a high salary.
In a recent submission to Deuxmoi, a source alleged that Kyle filmed a “farewell” earlier this year.
“During Ultimate Girls Road Trip there was a ‘farewell’ as a solo scene for Kyle Richards,” said the source. “Not sure if she is leaving, but it was filmed.”
It however appears that Kyle is denying this rumor. The Reality TV Guru page on X shared DMs they say is from Kyle in which she shuts down the report.
“Not true. These stories are wild,” Kyle reportedly wrote in response to being asked about the exit rumors.
In Rinna’s new memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, the alum addressed her own exit from RHOBH.
“I brought that show so much,” Lisa expressed. “I gave my all. They knew what I brought to the table and that’s why it was so crushing to be dumped so unceremoniously. Nobody had my back, not even Andy. Especially Andy. He left me in the ditch to have my eyes pecked out by the vultures.”
“Even though all the ladies loved [my mom] Lois, during both of my parents’ deaths, my RHOBH castmates were awful to me,” she later added. “When my dad died during season 7, I was accused of being a drug addict and Lisa Vanderpump and Dorit Kemsley were tag-team torturing me. It was rough.”
Last year on the “Therapuss” podcast, Lisa revealed why she left.
“In the beginning, we wrote blogs. You would have to watch the show, and you’d write and blog about it,” said the star. “That’s a long time ago. Then it became social media, and everybody got really comfortable behind their computers, saying anything.”
“It wasn’t Bravo, it wasn’t the girls. It was the fanbase [who ran me off],” she explained. “They villainized me in a way that I just didn’t want to live like that anymore. And that is the truth… The fanbase has to know it’s because of them that I left the show and that’s something I think they don’t want to take responsibility for.”
