Kyle Richards Blasts Lisa Rinna For Body Shaming Sutton Stracke

After catching wind of Rinna’s critical comments about Sutton Stracke—another “RHOBH” co-star—in her book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About,” Richards revealed what she thought about her friends’ words.

And Stracke isn’t the only Bravo veteran Lisa Rinna had words for. She also came for her on-screen adversary, Garcelle Beauvais, accusing her of being fake.

In her memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” released in February 2026, Rinna opened up about her fashion choices during her time on “RHOBH.”

“I can’t really think of one thing that was superbad where I cringe and go, ‘Oh my god, that was hideous!'” she wrote before shifting the focus to her co-star, Stracke.

“Let’s start with Sutton who is living proof money can’t buy you taste,” Rinna wrote, later referencing one of the first scenes she filmed with Stracke during a professional fitting at a Dolce & Gabbana store.

“She came out, and I had to pretend that her outfit was cute,” Rinna wrote. “That’s some of the best acting I’ve ever done.”

Rinna didn’t stop there. The “Days of Our Lives” alum went further, writing that she was “happy to drag Sutton.”

“She’s frumpy, there’s no sex appeal about her whatsoever, and she’s got a weird body,” Rinna added. “So God bless her.”

Rinna’s comments sparked backlash from many of the show’s watchers, some of whom slammed the soap opera actress for being too “mean.”

“This has always been my problem with Rinna. She thinks it’s fun to be mean & b-tchy & that it somehow makes her appear authentic & cool & like she doesn’t care. When the reality is it just makes her seem bitter, mean, petty & desperate for attention,” a netizen wrote in an online thread.

They weren’t alone in their thoughts, either. Richards discussed Rinna’s book during a recent livestream and blasted the mother of two for going too low.

“Not nice,” Richards said about the publication. “I mean, people have feelings. … We’re all human and we all have feelings.”

Richards added, “It’s better not to comment on people’s bodies, and Sutton is beautiful.”

Stracke wasn’t the only cast member whom Rinna wrote about. In the same chapter, Rinna took aim at Beauvais, “RHOBH’s” first Black full-time cast member, calling her “fake from head to toe.”

Rinna accused Beauvais of not being “the person I knew” before calling her, Stracke, and Denise Richards, “full-blown narcissists.”

“I was always called a bad friend because I didn’t support these newbies when they first came on the show. But, it was because I found out they were bad dudes. They put on a good show, but on a fundamental level we just did not vibe at all,” Rinna shared.

Rinna’s memoir comes a few years after the villainous reality star left “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after eight years on the show.

Speaking with Us Weekly, Rinna made it clear that she has “never looked back” since leaving the series and had no plans to start now.

“That is out of the question. I’m done with that,” she said. “I moved on from that chapter in my life, but it did heal me.”

According to Rinna, she should’ve left the reality series sooner than 2022; however, she’s grateful for how things played out.

“Your path unfolds the way it’s supposed to. Everything happens for a reason, and I’m grateful for every experience that I’ve had, because doing Housewives made me who I am today,” she said.

After the release of her book, Rinna appeared on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen. During the episode, Cohen confronted Rinna about her “complicated relationship” with the “Real Housewives” franchise and thanked her for the role she’s played in his life.

“You know, I have to tell you something. And I have to thank you because what I realized is that you showed up for me on two of the most important days of my life,” he said, referencing his baby shower and the day he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“[It] was another of the most special days of my entire life,” he said. “You were filming that day, you had just come back from Aspen, you were grieving the loss of your mom. You sat with my mom at that lunch afterward and I just want to thank you. You showed up for me on two very important days for me and that is not lost on me. I really appreciate that and I’ll never forget it.”
