The ongoing series of Vanderpump Rules has entered its eighth season. The show has reached to a stage where mostly reality shows starts to show signs of age. Producers are trying to combat this phenomenon by experimenting with new cast members. Alas, the new additions haven’t fared well so far. To add on to it recently hostess Billie Lee has refrained from continuing further and officially bitten the dust.

It was reported in Radar Online that SUR hostess Billie Lee has taken a firm decision to leave the show immediately after just two seasons on VPR. An insider informed Radar that Billie has stopped filming for the upcoming season 8 last week onwards.

Billie Lee from Vanderpump Rules explains that she was having a really hard time with the disrespect and negative thoughts overall from the show and also from some of her co-stars. Apparently she is sick of all the bullies and the backlash that she is continuously receiving on social media.”

The insider also informed that Lisa did try to convince Billie to stay on the show and keep growing with them but could not succeed in it. “Lee is always welcome back on Vanderpump Rules” says Lisa.

According to the insider, with this call-off, Lee is hoping that it would be the beginning of a new stage in her career. She has decided to do her own thing now and is trying to pitch her own show.

Billie was roped in Vanderpump Rules to bring a little diversity to the mayo-white series being the show’s first transgender cast member. Unfortunately from the very start only, she clashed with co-stars most notably Katie Maloney and Lala Kent. The entire cast of Vanderpump is very appealing to everyone including each other. They have a good track record with regard to the LGBTQ community.

With this quit, Billie Lee joins James Kennedy, Vail Bloom and Whoever Scheana Is F–king This Season, on the list of failed new additions to the cast of Vanderpump.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
