Production for season 12 of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” has been shut down.

According to TMZ, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais have all tested positive for COVID-19, causing production to stop. All three women are only suffering from mild symptoms and all have been vaccinated, according to the outlet.

The hiatus from filming could last “at least a couple weeks” and the ladies will have to be tested multiple times before filming resumes, TMZ reported.

“The girls who are sick are trying to take care of themselves. The other cast members are nervous now that they might have it. Production is taking every precaution to keep people safe,” a source told People.

“Hey guys, happy Monday,” she said in the video. “Well, I hope it’s a good Monday for you. I found out that I tested positive for COVID. I feel okay. I’m sure I will continue to feel okay. My boys are being tested, so far they tested negative and we’re gonna continue testing them. Um, send movie or TV recommendations because I will be quarantining for the next few days. Well, not few, probably 10. Um, this stuff is crazy. Be careful out there, be safe and also, who knows? I may show up on girl chat via Zoom on ‘The Real’. I’m gonna miss the girls. All right. Take care you guys be safe.”

Garcelle also revealed she’d been vaccinated via her Instagram post.

“A Monday morning update for you all,” she wrote. “Thankful to be vaccinated and to not be showing symptoms.” She asked fans for TV and movie recommendations to help her get through her 10-day isolation.

Makes us all feel like we aren’t alone when sh1t goes south 😂,” one fan commented on the post.

Erika had not confirmed reports at the time of publishing.
