Lisa Rinna Slammed By Cancer Institute for Using Cancer as ‘Emotional Blackmail’ on RHOBH

Lisa Rinna needs to shut it down.

The Bravoleb was slammed for saying she would “get cancer” if she did not call out Kathy Hilton’s meltdown during the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 finale episode.

“I’m not going to take it to my grave ’cause I’d get sick and get cancer if I didn’t express this. That’s how bad it is to have these kinds of things go on and not express them,” Lisa said.

“I’ll get sick and die because it’s that vile,” she added.

A spokesperson from the American Institute for Cancer Research recently told TMZ that Lisa’s claim was “certainly not based on reputable research.”

The institute also accuses the RHOBH star of “using the specter of cancer as emotional blackmail to justify airing her grievance” and reinforcing “a popular (but likely false) concept” to the general public.

Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 reunion airs Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
