Lisa Vanderpump Squashes Hope Of Her Return To The 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills'

No going back! At least that is what Lisa Vanderpumpsays about a possible return to the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

The socialite confirmed that she had already closed the chapter on returning to that Bravo's small screens years ago amid speculation that it might be in the works for her.

Lisa Vanderpump stepped away from the Bravo reality show after a super entertaining nine seasons and a clash with her friend, Kyle Richards, in 2019.

The reality star has firmly dismissed rumors regarding her potential return to the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." During an outing at the book launch for Hollywood Virgin by Jason Felts at The Abbey in West Hollywood, she made it clear that she is not interested in rejoining the show. 

This comes despite encouragement from Andy Cohen and Lisa Rinna, who have voiced their support for her return. Lisa also clarified that Rinna's opinions on the "Real Housewives" franchise should not be taken seriously.

She humorously maintained that there is a greater chance of pigs flying to the moon than ever filming for "RHOBH" one more time.

Despite her exit, Lisa has stayed in a working relationship with Bravo. The reality star continued with a spinoff series, "Lisa Rules," now gearing up for its 12th season, according to TMZ.

Following her shocking exit in 2019 and the tragic loss of her brother, Mark, which led to her quitting the show, the star admitted a few things to PEOPLE:

"I had a great time on Housewives, opening up for the first time about leaving the series she helped launch into one of the most popular in the Bravo franchise. But to have negativity during a time in my life when I needed to try to be positive … I decided it was over."

She shared that she should have taken the time to mourn the loss of her late brother before deciding to film again. "I shouldn't have even committed to do that season, If I had had my choice, I would have just wallowed in grief. I wasn't ready," Lisa added.

Events leading to her office began after a confusing situation arose surrounding a puppy adopted by Dorit Kemsley from the Lisa Dog Foundation, leading to accusations among her co-stars that she was being manipulative and dishonest. 

Lisa expressed her frustration, recalling when she felt isolated by the entire cast. However, what troubled her even more was the unwarranted criticism directed at her foundation from these women.

The star reflected on a particularly intense trip to the Bahamas, which made her question her involvement in the drama, realizing that the situation had become overwhelming and disheartening.

In reflecting on her time on the Bravo show, Lisa expresses that she wishes to remember the experience positively. However, she also emphasizes that she has no regrets about her decision to leave the show and feels that she has moved on.

On whether she kept in touch with her co-stars from the show, Lisa admitted in the interview that she does not converse regularly with them. Richards, who Lisa fell out with on the show, however, reached out to her when her mother died, alongside other castmates. Lisa concluded that chapter, declaring:

"Ultimately, "I don't want to shoot arrows," says Lisa. "And I don't want to get down in the dirt and react to every negative thing these women have said about me. That's not who I am, nor who I want to be."

As noted by The Blast last year, the star shared a sad update on her family with her fans, announcing that her dad had passed.

The star shared a picture of herself and her dad posing outdoors on her Instagram page, alongside a heartfelt caption, writing: "I will miss you daddy … Broken-hearted. Rest in peace."

While she did not provide specific details about his death, the post quickly gathered an outpouring of support from friends and followers. 

Reality TV star Teresa Giudice offered her condolences, commenting, "So sorry for your loss," while Gretchen Rossi and Mario Lopez shared their sympathy through red heart and prayer emojis.

The screen goddess is the younger of two children who have also lost significant members of her family, including her older brother, her mother, and most recently, her father.

Lisa's father, John, worked as an art director at an advertising agency. However, not much information is available about her mother, Jean. Lisa was reportedly left feeling "devastated and shocked" by the sudden loss of her mother.

Lisa gained fame through her role on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," where she starred from 2010 to 2019, and she continued to make an impact on "Vanderpump Rules." 

Her brother, Mark, was a businessman and DJ who sadly passed away in October 2018. His death was ruled a suicide, attributed to drug toxicity.

Will Lisa Vanderpump, like some reality stars, change her mind about returning to the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" down the line?
