All the 'Real Housewives' stars not returning to their seasons (so far)

The "Real Housewives" franchise has reshaped the reality TV world and become an undeniable part of pop culture history.

The multiple-city series, spearheaded by Andy Cohen, has given fans some of the best one-liners, table-flipping fights and memes that will live on the Internet forever. But intense drama sometimes means a few fallouts and the departure of cast members.

Over the past year, the "Housewives" shows have lost some key original players from Bethenny Frankel to Vicki Gunvalson. Although new women are added to mix, nothing can replace these OGs.

"Getting to share my wedding with the viewers last year brought me tremendous joy, however, the season was very personally challenging for me,” she continued. “I am looking forward to stepping away from the cameras and spending quality time with my husband and friends, traveling, but most importantly, getting back to philanthropy, which was my main reason for joining the show."

Bethenny Frankel ("Real Housewives of New York City")

The longtime "Real Housewives of New York City" cast member isn't returning for the show's 12th season.

Frankel, 49, announced her exit in August 2019 after a tumultuous season.

"I wanted to take a moment to write a personal note to you. I am so grateful to you for sticking with me through everything. You started this journey with me in my tiny apartment in my late 30s, wondering what would happen to me. I was broke, single, had no family and no idea what the future held. I had big dreams and I never stopped, but I honestly didn’t know if I would ever get here," she wrote on social media.

"You helped me to get here. I would read your letters and messages and grow from your struggles. You would give me your honest opinion about my products and projects and helpful advice about divorce, relationships, motherhood, miscarriages, health, and surviving the death of a loved one and almost my own. You have shared your ideas with me and I have been inspired by and learned from you."

Lisa Vanderpump ("Real Housewives of Beverly Hills")

In June 2018, the restauranteur confirmed she was stepping away from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" after nine seasons on the Bravo show.

“I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally," she told Us Weekly at the time. "I had wonderful things happen this year, opening up and TomTom and the cocktail garden in Vegas. 'The Housewives,' it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.”

Vanderpump, 59, also told Extra that the previous season was too emotionally taxing after the loss of her brother. “The last year was a very negative year for me. I feel like we’re moving forward. They have had their resolution," she shared. "I just had a horrible time with the show and the women. It was a very sad time in my life and it wasn’t made any better. I just decided to walk away.”

She is still partaking in her spinoff series, "Vanderpump Rules."

The 57-year-old added that she already has new business ventures in the works.
