Lisa Rinna and Kyle Richards Say Goodbye to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Lisa Rinna and Kyle Richards have both been at the center of plenty of drama throughout their time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They are both known for their cutting remarks and dramatic fashion styles, which makes it no surprise that they have become a mainstay of the Bravo series.

The 63-year-old and Kyle, 48, have been friends for years but their friendship has gotten increasingly strained over the course of their time on the show. This is especially true when it comes to their latest feud with Sutton Stracke, who is the new addition to the Rhobh cast and has already started butting heads with her co-stars.

Despite their petty differences, however, both Kyle and Rinna have admitted that they miss being around each other on the show. During a recent Amazon Live stream, Richards explained that she is sad to see Rinna leave the show after eight seasons, adding that she “will miss” having her around.

She also said that she doesn’t want to replace Rinna because she “brought a lot to the show” and will miss having her on the set.

Sutton and Rinna are no strangers to arguing on the show, which is why fans have been hoping that Rinna would give up her diamond ahead of Rhobh season 13. As it turns out, Rinna’s departure from the show isn’t the result of any kind of fight she had with Sutton Stracke; rather, it is a result of the latter’s 2021 feud with Rinna over tickets to Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party.

But the rift between Rinna and Stracke was probably the last straw that prompted her to quit the franchise. During the episode, she swore at Stracke for bringing up her troubled sister Kim Richards during dinner.

According to her husband, Harry Hamlin, it was this feud that caused Rinna to leave the series. Hamlin, who has been married to Rinna for 14 years, has been supportive of her decision to leave the show.

After Rinna confirmed that she would be leaving the show earlier this month, fans were left wondering if there were any plans to fill her spot on the team. The producers of the show are currently looking for a new housewife to replace Rinna, but they’re not sure who will be chosen yet.

During her chat with HollywoodLife, Richards also opened up about her own thoughts on whether or not to add Chrissy Teigen to the cast. She admits that she ‘fantasized’ about Teigen joining the show, but says that he’s a ‘gold mine’ on reality TV.

In the end, she’s still unsure about Teigen joining the show. But she does admit that she ‘would love’ to see the model on the show, as long as it doesn’t negatively impact her personal life.

With all this in mind, it’s easy to see why Richards is nervous about filming Rhobh season 13. She even reflected on the Season 12 finale, in which she says she was ‘in the middle of a lot of drama’ with her friends and family. She shared that she ‘felt very emotional’ while watching it and that it was’very difficult’ for her to be in the middle of everything. She said that she ‘can’t imagine’ how that would be for someone else, and that ‘it’s really hard to think about all of that now.’ Watch the clip below.
