Lisa Vanderpump Denies Having Brandi Glanville Fired After Brandi Confirms ‘RHOBH’ Departure
Lisa Vanderpump is sick of all of the speculation that she demanded that Brandi Glanville be dropped from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
On Tuesday, Lisa reiterated that she doesn’t have any power over casting decisions. Lisa added that even if she did, she would’nt do something as mean as that.
Lisa’s strong denial came after one of Brandi’s fans published the accusation on Twitter. One of Lisa’s fans pointed out that if Lisa did have any power over casting decisions, Brandi would have been gone prior to season 5, since the two were at odds after the fourth season.
@SalvaCam21 @Bravolebrity1 exactly! I don't have any power..! I also wouldn't do that

Lisa later wrote that she’s sick of being blamed for Brandi’s departure.
@KKcline123 @LetMESay3 @Bravolebrity1
Everything public sweety,no way in hell do I have ANYTHING to do with Bravo's choice.
Sick of this.— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) June 24, 2015
Lisa later agreed that perhaps executive producer Andy Cohen should step in and help defend her from Brandi’s fans by saying once and for all that Lisa had nothing to do with what happened with Brandi.
Brandi Glanville’s own comment supports Lisa Vanderpump’s assertion that she didn’t force her out. Brandi confirmed on Tuesday that she is leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Brandi stated that it was her decision.
Brandi made the big announcement on her podcast radio show. She did hint that she may be willing to do some guest appearances on future seasons.
“So after a lot of careful thought and deliberation I have decided not to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They’ve been awesome and Bravo will always be my family and like Andy says, ‘It’s the Mafia. You never really get to leave us.’ And they’ve been so great to me and, you know, if I’m available and they need me, they know how to find me and we’ll see but I’m excited about what the future holds and I was just telling you about some exciting things that I can’t talk about yet and it’s just been a great four years and I’m just really excited for what’s next and, like I said, it’s always gonna be my family so we’ll see you when we see you peeps.”
Did Brandi Glanville change her mind or is she just trying to spin the truth regarding her firing? As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Brandi said in early June that she wants to do the show for at least one more season before moving on to other things. Or perhaps she received confirmation from Kim Richards and Yolanda Foster, both of whom are reported to not be returning for the sixth season, that they really won’t be coming back and decided that she just couldn’t face all of the other women alone?
