Lisa Rinna’s exit from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills happened months before her announcement in January of 2022.
In a new interview, the RHOBH alum reveals that she quit the show right after filming the season 12 reunion.
“It’s always a scary thing to decide to leave something. But I always know when I need to do something. What happened was I left, really, right after the reunion. People don’t know that. But I let everybody know right after the reunion that I was going to move on, that was going to be it,”Rinna revealed to Interview Magazine.
“I had a rough year. I never think, “Oh wow. It’s just such a rough year, and I’II never be able to handle it again.” I can always come back and handle something. But something has gotten to the Housewife Universe because of what’s going on in the world, and it’s reflected in the way the fans react to the world of Housewives. And I just think it’s unhealthy. It wasn’t working for me. It wasn’t right for me,” she added.
The Rinna Beauty founder then claimed that she hated season 12 of RHOBH and insisted there was a “smear campaign” going on against her on social media. As for who was behind the smear campaign, Rinna says that it was someone on the Bravo “payroll.”
“I f**king hated this year. For a lot of reasons. My mom died, we all know that. But that’s not the biggest reason. The story just didn’t get told as two-sidedly as I would’ve liked. How about that? I think it’s pretty obvious. There’s a smear campaign that went on online against me. It was all ver calculated. And there was a person on payroll doing that,” Rinna insisted.
