"It was repeated all over the place that I'm trying to get Lisa Vanderpump back on The [Real] Housewives of Beverly Hills," Cohen, 56, revealed during the Tuesday, January 21, episode of his SiriusXM radio show Andy Cohen Live.

Cohen, who is an executive producer on RHOBH, denied he started the rumors and insisted that Vanderpump, 64, has better things to do than pick up her diamond again.

"Let me restate my abject love for Lisa Vanderpump, but I don't know where the rumor came from," he told listeners. "I don't see her coming back to that show."

Cohen's cohost John Hill agreed with his assessment, adding, "I don't know why that would even be a rumor. She doesn't need to go back."

Hill explained that the Los Angeles-based series doesn't "need" Vanderpump back. "She's got her own thing going on," he concluded.

During her final season on RHOBH, Vanderpump had a falling out with several castmates. At the time, she was accused of forcing her Vanderpump Dog employees to talk about Kemsley's adopted dog Lucy ending up at a kill shelter.

Kyle initially remained neutral but eventually questioned whether Vanderpump leaked the story to the press, which ended with Kyle being kicked out of her home.

While PuppyGate derailed their friendship, Cohen said that Kyle and Vanderpump have a running joke between the pair over who pays the check when they cross paths.

"I do love that it feels like once a year, Kyle runs into Vanderpump somewhere and they'll kind of send each other their bill or their drink," Cohen recalled on Tuesday. "I think Vanderpump either paid Kyle's bill once or sent her her bill."

The producer admitted he "could be getting that story wrong," but he is confident the former friends know how to handle each other when they are in the same place.

"They always have a funny [interaction]," Cohen added. "It seems like when they run into each other publicly, they have a little shade with each other, which I appreciate."
