The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is one of the most popular in the franchise. They are currently on their twelfth season and going strong. As with all theReal Housewives series, the cast is ever-changing. Right now, the only original cast member remaining is Kyle Richards.
Kyle has seen friends, family members, enemies, and frenemies come and go on RHOBH. Sometimes it seems like there is a revolving door of Housewives. There are plenty of women who left on semi-good terms and others who left in a wave of drama. This cast is a tough group and those who join better be ready to handle it.
As Kyle says, "In Beverly Hills, the truth always has a way of rising to the top." The current cast learns that every day. And maybe some past cast members did not.
8 Why Yolanda Hadid Left Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
Yolanda Hadid arrived on RHOBH in season 3 and lasted through season 6. Yolanda's big storyline concerned her Lyme Disease, and some of the women not believing she was really sick. This caused huge problems between her and Lisa Rinna.
Yolanda finally left the show because Bravo wanted to demote her to "friend" status and not a main housewife. She declined that offer and left the show. She decided to concentrate on her recovery and her family, which included husband, David Foster, and daughters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid.
Yolanda and David have since divorced. She now lives in New York City and has become a grandmother. She is focusing on her family.

She continues to star as Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless, and has recently reunited with her former Days of Our Lives and RHOBH co-star Lisa Rinna for Peacock's Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.

She was constantly fighting with many of the other Housewives, and she was reportedly fired from the show for that reason. She had blowups with Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Lisa Rinna. Bravo no longer wanted her diva behavior on the show.
But Brandi returned to the show in season 10, bringing more drama with her. She claimed to have a sexual relationship with Denise Richards, which Richards denied.

Kim famously fought with Kyle throughout her run on the show. She also had an epic battle with Lisa Rinna which started over sobriety and culminated in wine and glass throwing.

Kim was ultimately fired from the show. She has since been working on her sobriety.
2 Why Denise Richards Left Real Housewives
Denise was only on the show for seasons 9 and 10. Her first season went smoothly, but all hell broke loose during the second. When she was accused of cheating on her husband with Brandi, she began feuding with many of the women, most notably her former friend, Lisa Rinna.

1 Did Lisa Vanderpump Leave Real Housewives Because Of Puppygate?
Lisa Vanderpump was the exit heard round the world.
Lisa, also an original housewife, was on the show for 9 seasons. Her final season was brutal, and she ultimately cut ties with all the cast members, including her best friend Kyle. This was all because of a puppy.
"Puppygate" occurred after Dorit Kemsley adopted "Lucy Lucy Apple Juice" from Vanderpump Dogs. When she did not like the dog's behavior, she gave it away, but the dog ended up in a shelter. The shelter reached out to Vanderpump Dogs, and they got Lucy back. There were then secrets and lies and other cast mates got involved.
After feeling ganged up on, and then a fight with Kyle, Lisa threw her former bff out of her house and went on to leave the show.
Lisa still stars in her spinoff, Vanderpump Rules.
