Bravo fans, it’s the end of an era! Lisa Rinna is officially leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” according to People. “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,” said Rinna in a statement. “It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!” According to the publication, Rinna’s contract was up at the end of Season 12 and she felt it’d be a good time to pursue other things. Season 13 of the show, which will start filming in 2023 (according to E! News), will undoubtedly look a lot different going forward.

Rinna’s announcement comes months after Kathy Hilton revealed that she would not return to the franchise unless Rinna and Erika Jayne — who she deemed bullies — left the show, per TMZ. At this time, there’s no official word on whether Jayne will be fired or not. However, some groups of fans have also petitioned to have Jayne removed from the show, per The Sun, due to her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s huge fraud scandal (per Bloomberg Law).
