During the interview with Stern, Cohen was asked if he would ever consider bringing Lisa Rinna back to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” The longtime RHOBH star announced her exit from the show in January 2023 after a brutal final season.
“I don’t think she wants to come back,” Cohen replied, “And I don’t think… I think she left at the right time, so I think that kind of played itself out.”
According to People magazine, Cohen initially spoke on his Sirius XM show “Andy Cohen Live” and said he hoped Rinna’s departure was just a temporary leave of absence. “She has been really a huge part of Beverly Hills,” Cohen said in 2023. “I really do hope that this is a pause. …I just hope that Lisa will humor us and comes back.”
In a January 2025 podcast interview on the “That’s a Gay A** Podcast,” Rinna made her stance on a potential return to RHOBH pretty clear. “They know I’m not going back,” she said.
On Stern’s show, Cohen was also asked about Brandi Glanville. The former wife of actor Eddie Cibrian was a cast member on RHOBH for three seasons and a guest or “friend” in several more. She later appeared in the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” spinoff.
After Stern asked him, “Would you ever bring back Brandi or she stepped over the line?,” Cohen replied, “I feel like sometimes you just kind of, you come to an end with [ some of these women].”
