Have a lovely day!!!"Article continues below advertisement In the 2018 interview clip, Eileen explained to the reporter that she decided to say goodbye to the Housewives franchise after three seasons because they only wanted to use her in a "limited capacity," aka she was being demoted on the series to strictly a "friend." "They actually asked me to take a step down, and I didn't want to be involved with it," she said in the clip. "They still wanted me on, but in a limited capacity. It's not something I would want to do in that caliber... and I never planned on doing it that long." Eileen also revealed that producers have asked her numerous times to come back and appear on the show, but she reiterated that she has no interest in doing so.Article continues below advertisement Well, as anyone who follows the series knows, being a "friend" on the series means you're no longer the star of the show and have less camera time. So, we don't necessarily blame Eileen for saying goodbye.Source: Getty Lisa Vanderpump Another cast member from the RHOBH that fans also had to part ways with is restaurateur Ms. Vanderpump, after claiming the series is "emotionally too difficult to deal with."
