Lisa Rinna

After eight years, Lisa Rinna has decided to leave The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She announced the news in a statement...

Lisa and Bravo apparently made the mutual decision to part ways. According to the magazine, the decision was made just as her contract with Bravo expired after the last season. [People](https://people.com/tv/lisa-rinna-leaves-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/), '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.'

Andy Cohen praised Lisa Rinna for having such an "iconic" run after she announced her exit from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" on Thursday.

The 59-year-old actress announced her exit on Thursday, Jan. 5.

"It's really hard to come into a show like this, and maybe would've been better if I had taken the time off." She continued, "When you're in that deep of pain -- I've done the best I can. It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!" Cohen then brought up a question from a viewer who accused Rinna of using her mother's death as a scapegoat for her bad behavior. Now, however, he "considers Rinna one of the best additions to the franchise." In part two of [The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills](https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills) season 12 reunion, Rinna was confronted with a look back at her journey over this past season, which included [Rinna's outbursts at her fellow castmates](https://www.etonline.com/rhobh-reunion-sutton-stracke-asks-lisa-rinna-for-apology-over-cut-you-down-attack-exclusive-192983), including [Sutton Stracke](https://www.etonline.com/people/sutton-stracke).

Her treatment of [Denise Richards](https://www.thedailybeast.com/denise-richards-bisexual-real-housewives-affair-scandal-a-premiere-primer) amidst rumors of Richards’ affair was inexplicable. So I find it jarring when, for so many years, I see my pals hanging out with a person on TV, and then all of a sudden that person is not there. One of my biggest gripes about the Housewives franchise is when it’s so clear that the women aren’t friends and would never hang out in real life.
