Lisa Rinna Said It’s a ‘Miracle’ That Any of Her ‘RHOBH’ Co-Stars Still Like Her
Lisa Rinna left RHOBH in 2023, following an eight-season run. She is one of the most recognizable Housewives in any franchise, but she has admitted that she made a number of enemies on the show. Rinna said she stays in contact with some of her former co-stars. Still, she joked that it was a miracle anybody still talked to her.
Lisa Rinna said she planned to meet her former ‘RHOBH’ co-stars
While Rinna spent a great deal of time with her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars on camera, she admitted they rarely saw each other when cameras weren’t rolling. It took stepping away from the show to reach a point where they could have fun together.
“Now that I’m far enough removed from RHOBH, I can be a better friend to my gal pals who are still on the show,” she told InStyle. “I have a certain amount of wisdom that I didn’t have while I was there.”
She admitted they’ve even discussed going on a group trip — as long as no cameras are rolling.
“I can share with them what it’s like on the other side. I tell them it’s good, don’t be scared,” she said. “And if you can believe this, we actually talk about going on a trip somewhere together. ‘Without cameras!’ Kyle [Richards] insists.”
Lisa Rinna recalled a dinner with her ‘RHOBH’ co-stars
While Rinna said they haven’t made a group trip happen yet, she has gone to dinner with some of her former co-stars.
“I recently met Dorit [Kemsley], Erika [Jayne], and Kyle for dinner at Cipriani in Beverly Hills,” she said. “It was a special night and not just because we were celebrating our birthdays, all within a couple weeks of one another.”
She admitted this almost never happened while she was on the show. She found it enjoyable to spend time with the other women when cameras were not rolling.
“Now, this dinner at Cipriani, it was real. It wasn’t for a plotline or the press or to piss anybody off,” she said. “We were behaving like normal girlfriends do, talking about everything under the sun. We feasted on bread, pasta, and curry chicken. God forbid we ever stuffed our faces on camera, that was a big no-no.”
Rinna said that when people recognized them, they looked shocked. She could understand why they felt that way.
“We were secluded at a discreet table in the back, like in The Sopranos, but a lot of people walked by us on the way to the bathroom and stopped dead in their tracks,” she said. “They had to rub their eyes like a cartoon character to make sure what they were really seeing. I don’t blame them. It’s a miracle that I made it out of RHOBH with even one friend.”
She shared the cast members she wouldn’t want to see
While Rinna maintains a friendly relationship with some of her former co-stars, she is not on good terms with some of them. She blamed their star signs.
“Too many of the women on RHOBH are Virgos. I don’t get along with Virgos. I’m a Cancer, so Virgos and I do not mix,” she wrote in her memoir You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It. “It’s like oil and water. Camille [Meyer], Sutton [Stracke], and — surprise! — Lisa Vanderpump are all Virgos. That’s a horrible thing for me to say. I don’t mean to diss an entire astrological sign; I know there are some really lovely Virgos out there.”
In 2025, Rinna said she has run into Vanderpump often. When they see each other, they do not speak.
