Late today, the actress-turned-reality TV star announced she was exiting RHOBH after eight seasons on the show. *"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. It has been a fun eight-year run, and I am excited for what is to come!"* Rinna said in a statement, according to [PEOPLE](https://people.com/tv/lisa-rinna-leaves-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/). This decision comes as Rinna's RHOBH contract expired following the end of season 12. After doing some self-reflection, Rinna and Bravo came to the mutual decision for her to exit the Beverly Hills Housewives franchise. Rinna joined RHOBH during its fifth season in 2014. Over the years, she became most known for her iconic catchphrases, which included *"Own it, baby!"* Throughout her time on the show, Rinna became quite infamous for her savage fights with several co-stars, including Kim Richards, Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, Denise Richards, and, most recently, Kathy Hilton. Despite the constant hate Rinna received from fans, she *"owned it"* and lavished the attention - even if it was negative. At BravoCon 2022, Rinna was unbothered after getting booed by the audience during the RHOBH panel. *"I got booed! It was fabulous,"* Rinna told *PEOPLE* at the time. *"I'm like a wrestler. The wrestlers get booed. The most famous wrestlers in the world get booed. The Rock [Dwayne Johnson] got booed, for God's sake. I loved it. I've been in this business for 32 years."* *"It's a TV show, for God's sake,"* she shared. *"Call me whatever you want, believe whatever you want, I tell the truth. I always have. Go back to that."* The *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* is expected to return for season 13 in 2023. ## Thoughts on this all?
