Former RHOBH star Lisa Rinna has a New York Times bestseller, and that could be attributed to what she shared in her memoir. She held nothing back, and that included bashing The View. Moreover, she talked about female “hate crimes” that she experienced from some in the business. Keep reading for more on what the reality television alum had to say.
Lisa Rinna Has Beef With The View
When Lisa Rinna joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she was a breath of fresh air. She held nothing back and used her now iconic phrase, “own it.” That was what she wanted everyone to do, and they hoped she would do the same. Unfortunately, Rinna pushed some buttons, and by her final season, it became a bit too much. She exited and has gone on to other ventures. This includes a stint on Season 4 of The Traitors and a recent memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.”
In it, she held nothing back and even bashed one of The View ladies. As it turns out, Rinna had a conflict with Star Jones, with whom she starred on The Celebrity Apprentice. Jones was on The View from its inception until 2006, for nine seasons. However, she was very unkind to Rinna while they were filming the President Trump-helmed reality series. Allegedly, Jones “threw her under the f***ing bus” and led to Rinna’s firing early on in Season 4. Along with Jones being insufferable, so was icon Dionne Warwick.
Per Lisa Rinna, she claimed that Warwick was extremely demanding:
“The first time I met her on a create-your-own pizza task, she barely looked at me but had the audacity to bark, ‘Go get me a Pepsi!’ And for some reason, I ran off like a simp to get Dionne Warwick a Pepsi. She thanked me by conspiring with her coven to get me canned.”
That being said, Rinna noted that she learned about “woman-on-woman hate crimes” through that show. Yet, she was thankful in some ways because it very much prepared her for her time on RHOBH. It seems that fans ate up what Rinna put down because she made the bestseller list.
Loving Lisa
After Lisa Rinna fans found out that the RHOBH alum made the New York Times bestseller list, they were so excited for her. They immediately rushed to her social media to share their excitement, and she got some love from her Bravo family:
- Dorinda Medley:This is a loud “OF COURSE” your Fabulous❤️
- Erika Jayne: I knew it!!! 🔥
- Melissa Gorga: Congratulations!
- Teddi Mellencamp: Amazing!! So happy for you ❤️
Lisa Rinna does not care whose feathers she ruffles and even made an appearance on The View to promote her book. It does not appear that Star Jones or Dionne Warwick have spoken out on her claims just yet.
