‘RHOBH’ Lisa Vanderpump Talks Brandi Glanville Firing; L. Rinna Quits Season 6?

Although it seems to make a lot sense in many fans' minds, Lisa Vanderpump insists that Brandi Glanville's being terminated from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has nothing to do with whether or not she wanted her off the show. According to the latest gossip news updates, the SUR owner is telling anyone that will listen that she isn't consulted by Bravo when it comes time to let someone go from the show but has called Glanville's claims that she quit instead of being let go as a crock of poo. It's also being reported that Lisa Rina seems to be taking herself out of the Season 6 line-up after posting a Twitter update so alarming that it even drew Vanderpump's attention.

Although it has become a very popular social media narrative since Brandi Glanville confirmed that she wouldn't be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is Season 6, Lisa Vanderpump has been publicly insisting that she is in no way responsible for the Unfiltered podcaster's dismissal.

She explained to PerezHilton, that while she has, at times, pined for that kind of power, the Housewives are in no way in control of one another's signing contracts with Bravo:

"Every year there is a very different dynamic and that's what makes the show so fascinating.

"As much as people think that I control casting and that I am responsible for somebody being let go, I have no control -- it's up to Bravo.

"I wish I did. After Season 4...trust me, there would have been a couple of people that would have left earlier. Just saying."

That being said, Lisa immediately bristled at the idea that Brandi left on her own accord, when TMZ asked if Glanville was telling the truth in claiming that she actually quit:

"Crook of poo. Crock of poo. I do wish her will, but it's a crook of poo."

Lisa Rinna also sounded some alarm bells yesterday when she seemed to break the news on Twitter that she was leaving -- startling Vanderpump into joking that she definitely had not pre-approved that casting shakeup:
