Was Lisa Rinna fired from the Real Housewives?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been brutal this season. Lisa Rinna opened a Pandora’s box by suggesting that Yolanda Hadid did not have Lyme disease and instead had a disorder called Munchausen syndrome which is a psychological disorder whereby people make themselves or others sick in order to get attention.

The accusations naturally sparked a lot of drama. And Lisa concedes to making the accusation, but claims that co-star Lisa Vanderpump persuaded her to make the claims in an effort to maintain an interesting storyline for the show.

LVP vehemently denies that she pushed Rinna to make the claims. This was the heart of a heated battle between the two Lisas this season.

I found a blog post by Lisa Vanderpump titled ‘No Longer Am I Blind’ from last week rather curious and at first thought perhaps LVP was leaving the show, but after Rinna released some even more peculiar tweets it looks more like Rinna was fired from the show.

So in the LVP blog post dated April 12th she says,

“As the sun sets on the Hills of Beverly, the shade is cast in my direction.
It has been so hurtful, so I decided not to watch as I have no interest having lived through it once. But I encourage you to watch closely as some delusional characters play out this exhausting scenario.”
……….

“In all the moments you have witnessed, prior to the sharp turn this story had taken, not once, ever, was it indicated that I had encouraged her to speak of Munchausen.”

“What is LR suggesting? She had come up with this theory, through some friend of hers, or her hairdresser she now says, and she brought it up publicly. Now when she read that from her phone, Kyle and I were uncomfortable with the situation, and I do believe I said as much. If I had been urging her to suggest that, there is no way in hell she wouldn’t have said as much, as I remarked “I don’t think we should be talking about this.”

Then this little dig at Yolanda, which I suspect is because Lisa Vanderpump knows that she talked to Rinna and others about Yolanda posting pics on social media and knows she is caught on this point and wants to get out in front of it so she does not look like a liar.

“What is a little befuddling is we are all aware that Yolanda categorically had Lyme disease, never understood the way she repeatedly posted pictures and sick selfies, but that was the way she dealt with it. Munchausen is when you create a sickness, so that theory was irrelevant.
Erika apparently joins forces with them, which is a shame. I barely knew her, and she was already incredibly negative in her opinion of me. Which was hard to fathom for sure, as I had only been generous in regard to her and Tom. These women joined our group, a group that over the last six years has been fun to watch, and they attack…..”

And then a very curious conclusion,

“So I bid you farewell as the curtain drops on the final act. Some may take a bow as they have executed their plan and can live with their choices, their choice to attempt to discredit and annihilate a friend, who I am resolute in the fact, has been extraordinarily supportive in some dark times, that we have witnessed…”

WHOA! “they have executed their plan and can live with their choices”….sounds like a threat to me as in you can “live with” being exiled from me.

“No longer am I blind, I have seen all I need to. I have complete clarity in regard to their ambitious agenda, their agenda to isolate me from the group, and they have been successful in their endeavor.”

So this clearly makes it sound like Lisa Vanderpump has told Bravo that she is out of there.

Cut to a few days ago and some bizarre tweets from Lisa Rinna lashing out at her haters.

“I am convinced all the haters/troll are fat hoarders with 50 cats.”

“With no teeth, the haters couldn’t find their vagina if they tried”

“All you nasty people need to go, now.”

“I’m going for it. I have nothing to lose, you sick f**ks”

“Nothing to lose”???

What it looks like to me…from LVPs blog and LR’s tweets is that LVP told Bravo she was leaving after this brutal and less than flattering season and demanded that if they wanted her to stay they had to fire Rinna and they did.

The thing is Lisa Vanderpump clearly has more power than most Bravo reality stars. In fact on RHOBH there is a history of stars who challenge LVP getting “fired” from the show…starting with Adrienne Maloof and then ending with Brandi Glanville.

It’s a bit of a double standard. Bravo wants stars who will create “drama”, but if you piss off Lisa Vanderpump she will get you booted. Obviously LVP is the key draw on RHOBH and I’m sure Bravo bends over backwards to keep her. Unfortunately it means they constantly have to get new cast members…cast members who ideally will fight with one another, but will allow LVP to stay above the fray.

By the way, I would not be surprised if LVP has Eileen Davidson fired as well.

I took her Bravo blog as some serious sub text and a threat to Bravo which LVP is a pro at. She was telling us that she wants to keep snooze-fest Kathryn Edwards and fire Rinna and Davidson and possibly Erika Jayne.

And unlike with other Housewives Lisa Vanderpump actually can have her co stars fired. So stay tuned!
