Lisa Vanderpump is reacting to Billie Lee's announcement that she was officially leaving her job at SUR and her recurring role on Vanderpump Rules after two seasons. “It has been a pleasure getting to know and work with Billie Lee and I wish her only the best on her life journey as she continues to be a beacon of light for the LGBTQ community,” she told HollywoodLife.
A source reveals the reason why LVP fully supports Billie's decision to walk away from the Bravo hit reality series.
“Lisa supports whatever Billie wants to do as far as being on the show or not,” a source told HollywoodLife. “She truly understands what it’s like to be in Billie’s shoes as she just went through it herself on Housewives.”
Unlike LVP, Billie did in fact had support from a few of her co-stars.
“Billie has found support in [Tom] Sandoval whom she’s grown very close with, as well as James [Kennedy],” our source from today continues. “James will miss her since she’s such an ally for him, but he gets it. They all just want Billie to be happy and agree it is probably what’s best for her.” It didn’t sound like Billie was very happy on Vanderpump Rules according to our source from yesterday, who noted that “the drama” from the show “was truly messing with her mental well being.”
As previously reported, Billie took to her personal blog where she wrote a lengthy post in her blog entitled Two Weeks Notice, where she revealed why she quit Pump Rules. The trans activist claims she was allegedly bullied on and off camera at SUR that caused her to have suicidal thoughts, which was her main reason why she decided to walk away from the show and SUR.
