Lisa Rinna disagrees with Andy Cohen’s claims about her RHOBH exit

In his new book, The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up, the 54-year-old Bravo mogul opens up about Rinna’s departure from the reality show after eight seasons. Cohen explained that the 59-year-old reality star quit after filming the season 12 reunion episode but reportedly changed her mind.

According to the Watch What Happens Live host, he recommended that Rinna “take a break, but definitely come back.”

“I feel like she has a toxic relationship with the show at this point,” he wrote. “And taking a deep breath could do everyone good.”

Andy continued in the book’s epilogue, “We agreed with Rinna that she should take a break from the show (that’s a real break)”.

A rep for Rinna responded to Cohen’s claims, stating that the Days of Our Lives alum was “more than happy to leave the show” and “has no regrets.”

“There was never a discussion with anyone about this concept,” the spokesman said E!. “Their contract ended and the parties agreed not to enter into a new contract. She felt her time on the show was up and she was more than happy to continue. And she still doesn’t regret it.”

Cohen also recently appeared on SiriusXM’s Smith Sisters Live where co-host Lauren Smith called Lisa’s departure from the reality show “messy”.

“That was wild for me because I got the narrative of her getting fired,” Smith said, “and I was blown away when she texted the very night after the reunion and was like, ‘I’m out.’ But then it was like, ‘Actually, no, I’m not.’ And then it’s like, ‘Well, now you’re on break.'”

Rinna already told in January People that she is retiring from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after eight years of sensational drama and headlines.

“This is the longest job I’ve had in my 35-year career and I’m grateful to everyone at Bravo and everyone involved with the series,” she told the outlet at the time. “It’s been eight years of fun and I’m excited for what’s to come!”
