Lisa Vanderpump Doesn’t ‘Have Time’ for Real Housewives Return

As Vanderpump Rules fans prepare for Season 11 to premiere, Lisa Vanderpump is answering the same old question. Namely, will she ever return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Lisa appeared on nine seasons of the show until she was convicted in the “puppygate” court.

When the Fox Force Five turned on her, Lisa peace out. The drama also ended her longtime friendship with Kyle Richards. Lisa skipped the Season 9 reunion and concentrated on her other projects.

Of course, some RHOBH fans long for the good old days of diamonds, rosé, and swans terrorizing Kyle. According to Lisa, she has no plans to rub elbows with her former co-stars. The Messenger has the details.

“I have two restaurants to open and two shows on the air,” Lisa said. “I don’t have time to go back there.” Besides Pump Rules, Lisa has a new television show set to debut in 2024 on Hulu called Vanderpump Villa. In this series, Lisa’s staff will live and work at a fancy estate in France, called Chateau Rosabelle. This show sounds like the result of old-school VPR and Below Deck having a reality TV baby. I’m in!

And it sounds like Lisa is done entertaining a RHOBH return. “I don’t want to, really. I’ve moved on from that, you know,” Lisa explained. “I really have. I have.”

Meanwhile, Season 11 of VPR is getting lots of buzz. It is the first time since the cast has filmed since Scandoval led to that fiery Season 10 reunion. Rachel Leviss opted not to return after seeking treatment at a mental health facility. Still, the season sounds promising. “Complicated. It’s poignant. Emotional,” Lisa said of the upcoming season. “It’s sad, it’s happy, it’s weird.”
