Eileen Davidson: I Quit The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

Eileen Davidson is bidding farewell to the show that made her famous.

In a surprising decision that has taken the Internet by storm, the Bravo star announced her departure from The Real Housewife of Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon.

“After a lot of careful thought, I’ve decided because of my crazy schedules at ‘The Young and The Restless,’ as well as ‘Days of Our Lives,’ it’s best for me and my family if I step away from being a ‘Housewife’ for now,” Davidson said in a statement to TooFab.

She added of this unexpected choice:

“But you never know, I might be popping in from time to time just to see what the ladies are up to! Thanks for your love and support guys!!!”

Davidson debuted on the Bravo smash hit back in 2014.

She had been a regular cast member for three season.

To drive her point home, Davidson later went on Twitter and reiterated her stance, writing:

TRUE! Bcuz of my crazy sched @ yr & days I must step away from hw 4 now. But I might b popping in 2 see what the chix r up 2 Thx 4 the [love].

This announcement does at least solve a question that had been on the minds of those who watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online or on television each week.

After Camille Grammer Tweeted a photo of herself and other Real Housewives on Thursday night, many wondered why Davidson was not included.

We now have our answer, apparently.

The following snapshot features Grammer and Adrienne Maloof, alongside Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley and an unknown blonde.

Previously, Eden Sassoon confirmed that she would not return to the program, either.

Over the years, Davidson…

… was the victim of a vicious wine toss to the face from Brandi Glanville.

… Was on the receiving end of an epic “You beast” taunt from Kim Richards.

… And engaged in a years-long rivalry with Lisa Vanderpump over the latter prying into Eileen’s dating history.

Bravo is yet to comment on this cast departure.

Filming on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 8 is underway, with Vanderpump, Rinna, Girardi and Dorit Kemsley all expected to play key roles.

The network has not yet announced a premiere date.

Will you miss Eileen Davidson? Was it time for her to go?

Will you still tune in this fall for new episodes?

Should anyone replace Davidson?

Lisa Vanderpump & Eileen Davidson: Feud Over Dog Joke Heats Up!

Lisa Vanderpump and Eileen Davidson are locked in something bigger than a feud. 

In fact, it’s basically the Battle of Beverly Hills between these two. Neutrality is no longer an option. Pick a side or get blown to bits in the crossfire!

Okay, maybe were being a bit over-dramatic, but seriously, Lisa and Eileen do not like each other these days.

And it all started over some Chinese dogs neither of them has ever met.

Allow us to explain:

Last year, Lisa hosted a fundraising gala to raise money to prevent the mistreatment of dogs at the annual Chinese Yulin Festival.

Eileen skipped the soiree due to a prior engagement.

Last week, Davidson made a joke about Vanderpump’s love of dogs and all hell broke loose.

Now, Radar Online is reporting that the feud has gotten so bad the ladies are refusing to film together, and Lisa is demanding that Eileen make things right. 

“Eileen has still not apologized,” says one insider.

“Eileen told the other housewives that all she really meant by the comment was that Lisa should perhaps use her social platform to help actual humans instead of animals.”

The source adds that Lisa refuses to budge on the issue, and the situation has gotten so bad she’s requested that producers gve Eileen the boot.

“Lisa does not want to work with her again next season. She wants her gone,” says the insider.

Lisa Vanderpump & Eileen Davidson: Feuding Over Dog Killing Joke!

Just when we thought the feud between Lisa Vanderpump and Eileen Davidson was beginning to die down, it looks like the hot-tempered Housewives are at it again, thanks to a joke that Eileen made on her blog this week.

The ladies recently finished filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion show, and now they’re already back to work shooting a new season of the show.

Eileen has been documenting the experience on her Bravo blog, and it seems she royally pissed Lisa off while joking about a trip the ladies will be taking:

“Next week all of us, and our issues, are packing up and headed to Dubai,” Eileen wrote. “I wonder if there are any dogs there I can murder?” 

The comment was a reference to Lisa accusing Eileen of not caring about dogs being murdered in China after Davidson skipped an anti-animal cruelty charity event organized by Vanderpump.

Eileen has gone on record as saying she simply had a prior engagement, but clearly it’s still a touchy subject.

“Lisa and many of her fans were aghast after reading Eileen’s blog post,” one insider tells Radar Online. 

“Making light of Lisa’s passion to stop the barbaric torture of dogs at the Chinese Yulin Festival is just going too far!

“Everyone who knows Lisa knows that she has had many sleepless nights over her efforts so save these dogs from being murdered.”

It’s tough to take sides on this one, because Lisa’s work is certainly admirable, but Eileen’s joke really wasn’t that bad.

Sounds like Lisa is just angry that someone’s challenging her status as the alpha in the group.
