Unless Lisa writes a tell-all book, we'll never know the truth. I've heard from people in radio, that radio is very political and cutthroat and it doesn't matter how popular you are with the audience - if someone in power decides they don't like you, you are out. I don't know anyone in television but I wonder if it's the same situation. Lisa could have gotten caught up in the Claire Watts being forced out situation. She did state on air that she was very upset when Claire left. The other thing I find interesting is her wording in her blog on GILI when she said "when the decision was made that I was leaving." If it had been her decision, she would have been more direct and said something like, when I decided to leave.

This quote is from her blog:

"My connection with the line was one of the hardest things to leave at QVC. I loved creating it, but when the decision was made that I was leaving the company, unfortunately, I had to leave the line as well."

I just found her wording a little odd if it were completely her decision. I have no idea and could be completely wrong - just my opinion for what ever that is worth. Either that or she is being very careful not to say who made the decision that she was leaving, her or QVC.

She never stated on air she was not happy Claire Watts left. Plus, the verbiage she used ...when the decision was made that I was leaving the company"...doesn't make me think she didn't leave on her own accord. That could just me she made the decision.

I don't for one second think QVC asked her to leave. They may not have wanted to up her salary, and they may not have met comparable negotiations, but they didn't dump her.

We are all replaceable, and I know that. But, Lisa was a top seller, she was professional, she was given all the high-profile shows, and I don't see any reason why QVC would dump her unless she wanted far too much money. Then and only then, imo, would they not continue her contract.

Bingo! I've said that all along. Had it been Lisa's decision, she would have phrased that "when I decided to leave the company." When the decision is made is a tricky way of making this an either/or cover. Most times with longevity, high profile jobs, big money makers, and her age, it's usually money. I especially believe this is so, when it's obvious she had nothing spectacular offered her that she couldn't turn down. LR is very competitive and driven; she wouldn't leave to retire, IMO.

Lisa has been gone for 3 months. Can't you ladies let it go? Let her live her life without all the speculation that seems to go on and on! Many of you could hardly wait until she was gone, and yet, you jump on every thread about her over and over. Let her live her life in peace. What she does is her business, and if she posts on her facebook page, so what? Many people post about all kinds of things.

I wrote a new Discussion headed SOMETHING with the same thing. It's about asking her amongst other things QVC. And her story of survival at least that's the commercial. I just replayed it.

Let me guess the talking points........she loves the amazing Q customers and she loved the amazing opportunities and amazing experiences but it was time to find something new and she'll always be amazingly grateful.......

They said she was going to talk about why she left the Q after so many years after a lucrative career at the Q. Sorry if this is repeated - didn't read all the replies.

So do many of the hosts on QVC, but it's not hashed over and over on these forums!!

I saw the promo as well. Robin asked her if the stalker was why she left. Of course we have to wait to hear the answer, but I had the impression the interview will be more about stalking than why she left. She's already said why she left, to explore other opportunities. I doubt you're going to hear anything else, but we'll see tomorrow!
