Lisa Rinna Criticizes ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Cast After Watching New Season

Her departure was far from problematic, though. Many loathed the Bravo veteran for being too involved in the show’s drama, which likely influenced the network’s decision to let her go.

Since leaving, Rinna has discussed life post “Housewives,” and according to her, she couldn’t be better. Now, in a new interview, Lisa Rinna threw major shade at her former “RHOBH” castmates with a very surprising comment.

The Beverly Hills iteration of the popular reality TV franchise first aired on Bravo in 2010. Rinna joined the series as a regular cast member in the show’s fifth season, which hit small screens in 2014. Immediately upon arrival, Rinna, 61, bumped heads with longstanding Housewives Yolanda Hadid and OG Kim Richards.

Throughout Rinna’s next seven seasons, her storylines largely revolved around her ongoing feuds with the other women. Her explosive arguments often took center stage, making for dramatic—and undeniably entertaining—television. However, despite the show earning high marks when she was in the lineup, the “American Horror Stories” actress has no interest in returning.

During an interview with Eric Willztt, the mother of two shared her unfiltered thoughts about the current season of the show that launched her back into the spotlight, calling it the “Titanic.”

“We all know it’s the f-cking ‘Titanic,'” she added.

As she continued, Rinna addressed the reports that former Housewife Lisa Vanderpump was in talks to return to the series after departing during Season 9. According to her, she’s not surprised to hear the news about Bravo possibly “courting” her arch nemesis.

“I would imagine [that] they are courting the sh-t out of her right now,” she said. “Because who else?”

Rinna followed that up by saying Andy Cohen and the NBC executives “know I’m not going back” before hinting that there could be a world in which Vanderpump returns.

“I’d be interested to see if she does it,” Rinna said. “My guess is [that] she probably will.”

Another “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star who is talking about a potential Vanderpump return to the series is Garcelle Beauvais. The actress, who joined the reality show during its 10th season, is a great friend of Vanderpump’s. She’s also said openly how much she loves the thought of bringing her back.

While appearing on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” the “Coming to America” actor told the husband and wife duo that if she had the power to bring a former star back, it would be Vanderpump without a doubt.

“Oh yeah, for sure, she has some unfinished business,” Beauvais said before saying she’d also be a “great ally” for her during tense arguments with the other ladies.

After leaving “Real Housewives,” Rinna discussed her decision to say goodbye to the popular series, saying the weight of the show had become too much for her to handle.

In an interview, Rinna revealed several of the show’s fans had gotten violent with her and even sent death threats her way.

“Some of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen in print, and it’s a reality show,” she said. “It’s a stupid show! I thought: ‘It’s time to go.’ I’m not sure how much longer that can exist in the zeitgeist.”

Rinna also revealed that her deceased mother, Lois, who played a significant role in Rinna’s journey in the series, advised her to leave during a dream in the middle of the night.

“I was sleeping, and I heard her say to me: ‘It’s time for you to go,'” she explained.

The “Mommy Meanest” actress said a psychic confirmed her revelation, saying they received the same message.

“I’ve never told anybody that except for the psychic. I’m guided by my mom, for sure,” Rinna finished.

Longtime “Real Housewives” fans know it’s never easy for one of the show’s stars to say goodbye to the franchise, and that was certainly true for Rinna. However, after reflecting on the experience as a whole, she decided her “fun eight-year run” had come to an end.

She officially signed off from the show, acknowledging that it was the “longest job I have held in my 35-year career” before thanking everyone at the network for letting her be involved in such an iconic production.
