‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Casting Rumors: Lisa Vanderpump Quitting Season 9?

Don’t worry “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fans, Lisa Vanderpump isn’t going anywhere--at least not yet. When rumors began to circulate on Wednesday suggesting the reality star was quitting Season 9, multiple sources seemed to fuel the major cast change.

Fans began to suspect Lisa was leaving the Bravo show when she didn’t join the rest of the cast on a trip to France, but those closest to the Pump restaurant owner revealed she is more focused on her charity work at the moment.

On Thursday, Lisa will host her Vanderpump Foundation Gala and is expected to donate a portion of the proceeds to the animals affected by the California wildfires, according to TMZ. The reality star reportedly had an issue with her fellow cast members going on vacation while people in their state were losing their homes and lives.

Although Lisa has finished filming “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 8, sources told the entertainment site the star hasn’t made a final decision about whether she will appear in Season 9. Insiders revealed reality television is no longer as important to the 58-year-old as it previously was, but it isn’t a sign she will quit the series.

Meanwhile, production sources told E! News Lisa isn’t expected to return after Season 9. “Lisa has only filmed on a few occasions during the beginning of filming this season, and has been absent the remainder of the time,” the insider explained.

“She has been refusing to film and...her interactions with the ladies have been solely negative. Lisa has still not returned to filming and as of now has no plan to. It’s too far gone, and Lisa agrees that she shouldn't return at this point.”

Although Lisa has not directly addressed whether she will appear on “RHOBH” Season 9, she seemed to hint to fans that nothing has been confirmed about her reality television future. “If you hear it from me...It has to be true. Until then, not so much,” she tweeted.

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 9 is expected to premiere in early 2019.
