Lisa Vanderpump Addresses Possibility of RHOBH Return: "Never Say Never"
Vanderpump Rules Season 8 was particularly difficult for the restaurateur.
Lisa Vanderpump will not be appearing in the upcoming Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, having announced her decision to exit the show in June 2019. But that doesn't mean we'll never see her hanging out in the 90210 ever again.
Lisa addressed whether she would ever return to RHOBH while guest hosting ET on January 14. “I can never say never about anything, but I don't know," Lisa said. "It’s not what’s in my radar right now."
Of course, Lisa is still on our TV screens while running things over on Vanderpump Rules, which just began its eighth season earlier this month. Lisa also teased a "pretty explosive season" of Vanderpump Rules during her appearance on ET.
This season of Vanderpump Rules was particularly difficult for Lisa to film amid her mother Jean Vanderpump's passing last summer. “I had a hard time this season because I lost my mother right in the middle of shooting, which was a shock after just losing my brother,” Lisa said of her sibling, Mark Vanderpump, who passed away in 2018. “So, there was a definitely an emotional component in my life that factored into the show because we have to document everything that’s going on. That was hard. I’ve been a bit emotionally-vulnerable for the last 18 months because my family was literally cut in half.”
Viewers previously watched Lisa cope with her brother's passing in Season 9 of RHOBH. She said on ET that she "was just floundering" during that difficult time.
Lisa added that she has "no regrets" when it comes to departing RHOBH.
In fact, she recently reflected on her many years of TV while celebrating the Vanderpump Rules Season 8 premiere earlier this month. "I would like to say I don't know where that time has gone, but I actually do because we have 300 episodes to prove it that we look back on and we will kind of enjoy these incredible moments," Lisa said during the show's premiere party in Los Angeles. "It has been difficult for some of us. I know I love each and every one of the cast and sometimes it's very challenging being on a reality show. We have new people joining the cast. But it's also an incredible bonding experience."
