“I never had RHOBH anywhere on my Instagram in my profile and I have recently edited my Instagram page for fashion [,] fun and family,” the Housewife wrote, adding that three weeks ago, she “took away 8000 photos.”
She also pointed out that there’s still RHOBH content up on her profile, including content from the reunion and “the wine scene in Provence… dancing in Provence.”

So, is Lisa Rinna leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?
It’s tough to say. Despite speculation from fans, Radar Online – which has been known to stir up a whole slew of Housewives drama over the years – reports that Lisa Rinna has not been fired from RHOBH, according to their sources. Page Six also had a source inform them that “Rinna is very much still on the show – and that anything suggesting otherwise is not true.”
According to both outlets, Rinna is still employed by Bravo and remains a Housewife, but who’s to say what’s to come after the chaos that’s been stirred up from RHOBH season 12.
