Lisa Rinna isn’t taking back the harsh words she shared about Sutton Stracke‘s appearance in her recently released book, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.
After describing Sutton, 54, as “frumpy” with “no sex appeal” and a “weird body,” the 62-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum reflected on her season five fight with Kim Richards, 61, in Amsterdam, revealed she was “pushed” to bring Munchausen’s accusations against Yolanda Hadid, 62, and suspected a Real Housewives documentary was coming soon, while also dishing on her Watch What Happens Live return and speaking of her daughters’ dating lives.
“Sometimes they just get out,” Lisa admitted of her mean comments about Sutton and others on the March 3 episode of Bustle’s One Nightstand.
Regarding her fight with Kim, whom she nearly strangled after she brought up her husband, Harry Hamlin, 74, Lisa said she couldn’t “[identify]” who she was in that moment.
“I don’t know that person. I’ve never done anything like that in my life,” she explained. “I’m not somebody who likes conflict. That was one of those explosions of a moment that I could never have imagined. So I have no idea who that person is. That person is a mama bear that was protecting her husband and her family, period. And she’d never come out, but boy, was I surprised.”
Following the encounter, Lisa said the entire cast was “really devastated.”
“Life was never the same. That show was never the same when that happened. It changed everything,” she noted.
The following season, Lisa suggested that Yolanda wasn’t suffering from Lyme disease, but Munchausen Syndrome, in which people feign illness for attention.
“That was wrong on every level. And that’s the only thing I really regret because none of us should have gone there,” she shared as she looked back. “[But] the show pushed for it. And I was too new at the time to really be able to be like, no, like I was there to make a TV show. Anyway, I should have said, ‘F*ck no, I’m not doing this.’”
Following the release of the America’s Next Top Model documentary, Lisa said she wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar documentary about the dark side of the Housewives.
