“The way the fanbase reacts to the show now is not how it was when I first started," she said after admitting, “I didn’t want to live like that — I don’t think that’s healthy.”

Lisa also said that she was receiving death threats that she described as “Some of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen in print in my life, and it’s a reality show! It’s a stupid show!”

Indeed, Lisa didn't have any kind words for the franchise's continued existence: “I’m not sure how much longer that can exist in the zeitgeist, to be honest with you," she admitted.

Another reason Lisa cited for her RHOBH departure: her mother Lois — who passed away in 2021 — recently told her to.

“It’s so wild because half the world will believe this, half the world will say, ‘That’s so weird,'" she said. "I was sleeping and I heard her say to me, ‘It’s time for you to go.'"

What's more, Lisa also said that a psychic(!) confirmed that the spiritual interaction was real. “I told a psychic and she said, ‘Oh yeah, she’s come to me and told me that. She wants you to be happy and follow your dream, but she says it’s time for you to go,’” she claimed.
