How does Lisa Vanderpump really feel about Lisa Rinna's departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?
Shortly after Rinna announced her exit from the show, fans thought LVP, who left the show in season nine, reacted to the news. On Jan. 5, Vanderpump tweeted the words "ding dong," which some followers interpreted to be a reference to the song "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" from The Wizard of Oz.
"Come through with the shade!!" one social media user replied. Added another, "I am screaming." Wrote a third, "Lisaaaaaaaaa."
Rinna's exit comes after her eight years on RHOBH.
"This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series," she said in a statement obtained by E! News. "It has been a fun 8-year run and I am excited for what is to come!'"
A representative for the Rinna Beauty founder also addressed the parting, telling E! News, "Given that Lisa's contract was up at the end of last season, and after taking the time to weigh her current options and business obligations, Lisa and Bravo have discussed and mutually decided that she will not be returning to RHOBH."
Fans have watched Rinna and Vanderpump's feud play out both on and offscreen. From social media digs to the puppygate scandal (where Rinna accused Vanderpump of being behind the drama, which LVP denied), there has been a lot of shade thrown over the years.
In fact, Rinna didn't have to think twice when asked which cast member she'd never want to see return to RHOBH at the People's Choice Awards in December.
"Lisa Vanderpump," she replied. "Ooooh!"
