Another theory about why Lisa might have left..

I honestly don't think so. In my opinion Huli is something that mashabiki made up.
After listening to what RSL alisema about her leaving I believe it was mostly about the money. No one can know for sure and at the end of the siku the "why" doesn't really matter, it's sad enough that she leaves :(

Hugh hasn't alisema anything but then neither has anyone else. RSL was asked because he was already doing an interview and the interviewer asked it.

I have no idea if anything happened between Hugh and Lisa, but I doubt that's the reason she left. It sounded for a long time that she WANTED to come back. In fact, the writers have mentioned that it was a surprise to them that she wasn't, and David pwani alisema after the finale that Lisa leaving was not a creative decision. In otherwise, he planned to write for Cuddy inayofuata season.

That means things were fine between her, the writers and the cast. It sounds like her offer was low-balled big time though so she felt she had to leave.

kwa the way, Hugh has already alisema that Let Them Talk is representative of how he feels about New Orleans and the Blues' album he is doing and what the critics are likely to say about it. His upendo of New Orleans is pure and passionate, but he knows people are going to dismiss it for a variety of reasons. His response to that? Let Them Talk.

Well, I don't think it's a money issue! IT's zaidi like something she doesn't like in where the onyesha storyline is heading? au yeah something with Hugh, but dun, waliopelekwa know what? The song let them talk (which BTW wasn't written kwa Hugh, it was an old old song), might be for his wife au anyone, LOL. Seriously it's something with Hugh (friendship au others)! Can't tell what right now...

I haven't heard any maoni from any of the cast members re: LE's decision not to return for HOUSE's 8th season. Where can I find out what RSL had to say about it?

i think this theory could be right....i thought it long before ;)

Firstly Hugh never wrote the song! Many mashabiki including myself are of the opinion that "Let Them Talk" IS a message to Jo. Perhaps that is another reason he chose it for the Album title.

Secondly I have argued as have others, since the news broke of LE not returning, that it was because of money.

I think she might have left because of her boyfriend Robert au whatever his name is... Maybe she wants to spend zaidi time with him and possibly start a family (although unlikely at 45, but they can still adopt :D )... And I apologize to all the Huli mashabiki I have just hurt;)

Look I dont think it has nothing to do with the album of Hugh, Let them Talk, but of another reason nobody has mencioned. Well for me it is very suspicious that she has left the serie when months before her declarations were she was looking mbele for season 8. How should Lisa E changed her mind so quickly. I dont think she did, I think it was a writers issue. Maybe writers decided to throw out her character in season 8, it was very obvious shown in the season finale. They did the same with Cameron, so why believe them?
Another theory I have it is that this is all a rumor, because theyre declarations were from her publicist not from herself. I think she should make public declarations that explain all of this, like a video!
