After eight years in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the beloved and controversial cast member, Lisa, has decided to part ways with the series.

PEOPLE reported the shocking news, as the 59-year-old said she was looking forward to the future. The show has also been the most extended project in her television career.

“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,” she said. “It has been a fun eight-year run, and I am excited for what is to come!”

As per the reports, the star and Bravo mutually decided to not renew her contract. This means she would officially leave the series when her contract expired at the end of season 12.

Walking the red carpet of the 80 for Brady premiere at Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 6, the actor told the cameras she had done a lot for the series, and it was “time to move on” to think about other projects.

“[It was the] correct decision, the right decision to make at this point after eight years,” he told PEOPLE. “I think she took it as far as she could take it, and she elevated the show.”

“Now it’s time to move on,” he added. “Eight years is a long time to do anything, the same thing over and over again. It’s time to move along.”

The actor teased fans with the news of upcoming projects for Lisa.
