‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Casting Rumors: Lisa Rinna Not Returning For Season 8?
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” may be losing its resident drama starter. Fans are questioning whether Lisa Rinna will return to the franchise after being caught in the middle of some seriously ugly drama in Season 7.
ET Online caught up with her to get the scoop early this week. Lisa, 53, kept quiet about official casting decisions for Season 8 of “RHOBH,” though she admitted that she’s not working right now and it’s “heaven.” The former soap opera star added that most people don’t find out whether they’re returning to the Bravo franchise until right before a season returns.

“I have no idea,” she told ET. “No one ever knows whether they’ll be back until, like, five minutes before, to be honest with you. Who knows? I don’t know what the plan is for me. I never do.”
During Season 7 of “RHOBH,” Lisa found herself at the center of two ugly feuds — one with Eden Sassoon, Kyle Richards and Kim Richards and one with Dorit Kemsley. The drama with Eden, Kyle and Kim boiled over into the reunion, where Lisa and her opposition rehashed an argument about whether she claimed Kim wasn’t sober and was “close to death.”
In the second of three “RHOBH” reunion installments, Kim gave back a toy bunny she’d gotten from Lisa. She claimed, at the time, that it wasn’t malicious, but rather that she was superstitious. Kim suggested Lisa give the bunny, which has since found a home in Andy Cohen’s clubhouse, back to her when they were in a better place.
Lisa’s feud with Eden reached a head in China, where she questioned whether there’d been drug use at a dinner party she hosted. Eden was blown away by the comments, which Lisa later admitted she’d made to hurt her “RHOBH” co-star.
If the rumors are true that Lisa’s leaving the show in Season 8, she’s not the only one. Eden’s officially off the “RHOBH” cast after just one drama-filled season. She didn’t seem too bothered by the news, telling fans on social media that she felt “free.”
Eden announced her official departure from the show on Facebook. She claimed she wanted to be the one to break the news to her newfound followers. In her post, Eden said that leaving “RHOBH” meant she could refocus on being true to herself, adding that she’d learned some “huge life lessons.”
Her statement ended with a nod to the “RHOBH” fans who “resonate with my #spirit.” She vowed to always be available to them in some capacity, although she’s starting “another chapter.” Eden revealed plans to focus on her son, her sobriety and her businesses.
Nothing else is known about the Season 8 “RHOBH” cast. The show ended in April and is not expected to return for quite a while. Still, fans can’t stop speculating about who will be holding diamonds in the “RHOBH” opening next season.
There’s been a major call for Camille Grammer, once a permanent fixture on the show who appeared a number of times in Season 7, to return. She hasn’t responded, but her frequent appearances have given fans hope. Camille left “RHOBH” after Season 3.
