    Lisa Rinna took aim at Garcelle Beauvais and Denise Richards in her just-released memoir, You Better Believe I’m Going To Talk About It.

    As she also shot down the idea that her husband of nearly 29 years, Harry Hamlin, 74, was gay, the 62-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum accused Garcelle, 59, and Denise, 55, of going into the show with agendas, claimed the two of them, along with Sutton Stracke, 54, were “full-blown narcissists,” offered updates on her relationships with her former co-stars, and more.

    “[Garcelle] came onto the show with an agenda,” Lisa wrote in her February 24 release. “We mixed like oil and water, and she was firmly on Denise’s side.”

    According to Lisa, she was “the Narcissist Hunter of Beverly Hills” because she was “really good at sussing them out.”

    “All those women are full-blown narcissists. I’m talking Garcelle, Sutton, and Denise,” she stated. “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.”

    Although Lisa described Denise’s first season with the show, season nine, as “uneventful,” she recalled her ex-co-star entering her sophomore year “on a rampage.”

    “I noticed right away she wasn’t being buddy-buddy with me. Maybe she knew she didn’t make much of an impression on her first season? Maybe producers told her she needed to step it up?” she wondered. “Who knows, but that’s when she came at Garcelle, [Erika Jayne], [Kyle Richards], [Dorit Kemsley], and me at her backyard barbecue, saying we were talking about threesomes in front of her kids. She’ll never cop to this, but Denise came in with an agenda, and it pissed me off. I thought it was shady.”

    “I realized my relationship with Denise was superficial … When I turned on her after the barbecue fiasco, she gaslit me to no end,” she added.

    After confirming that she no longer speaks to Garcelle, describing her as a “huge disappointment,” Lisa said she and Denise briefly reconciled after a close mutual friend of theirs passed away.

    “We actually got on a call together, and it was a hopeful moment. Then a couple of days later, we got into it again about something stupid. She took my olive branch and stuck it back in my eye. I haven’t communicated with her since. You’d have to ask her why she would do such a thing. My hypothesis is that she’ll never get over the ‘Oof, you’re so angry,’ comment,” she noted. 

    Three years after her exit from RHOBH, Lisa isn’t so much as considering a return.

    “That is out of the question. I’m done with that,” Lisa told Us Weekly on February 24. “I moved on from that chapter in my life, but it did heal me.”

    “I probably should have gone a little sooner. You can always look back and be like, ‘I probably should have gone a year later, a year earlier.’ But no, it happens the way it happens,” she explained. “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.”

    After noting that she “made great friends” on the show, saying that they “trauma-bonded” and “had a blast a lot of the time, until we didn’t,” Lisa moved on to her current relationships with her former co-stars.

    “I had a fake relationship with [Lisa Vanderpump] then, and I have no relationship with her now,” Lisa revealed to Us Weekly, sharing in her book that their dynamic was “complicated.”

    Also in her book, Lisa said her relationship with Kyle was “complicated.”

    “Kyle and I have had our ups and downs, but we always end up on our feet. I love Kyle. She’s smart. Very loyal. She has great empathy and cares for people. She’s a great mother. She’s really funny and witty. Kyle is one of the most enjoyable people to spend time with,” she shared.

    Lisa also had good things to say about Dorit, 49, confirming that after going “through it,” they’re “good,” and adding that she’s kept in touch with Erika, 54, Eileen Davidson, 66, Diana Jenkins, 53, and Teddi Mellencamp, 44.

    “We don’t get to see each other all the time, but she is very special to me,” Lisa said of the latter.

    She also “reached out” and “apologized” to Yolanda Hadid, 62, who “accepted” her “I’m sorry” following their Munchausen drama, “made up privately” with Kathy Hilton, 66, and got on good terms with Brandi Glanville, 53.

    “We had a horribly tumultuous time, it was not good on any level. But we’ve reconnected over the years in a way that I would have never expected, and we’re friendly now,” she wrote. “Brandi made a real effort to reconnect with me … [And] she reaches out to me quite a bit — I’m happy to talk to her.”

    As for who she doesn’t “care to” speak to or about, those honors go to Sutton and Kim Richards, 61.

    “I don’t really like to talk about Kim. It’s just not necessary,” she stated.

    During another chapter of her book, Lisa addressed gay rumors about Harry, whom she married in 1997 and shares daughters Delilah Belle Hamlin, 27, and Amelia Gray Hamlin, 24, with.

    “When you’re a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to ‘Is he gay?’ Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” Lisa declared. “He is not a gay man in any way, shape, or form, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I had actually never heard those rumors until Housewives. I just figured b*tches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me. My reaction was always more, ‘Why you mad, boo?’ Besides, every husband’s sexuality was questioned at some point on that show.”

    According to Lisa, Harry’s sexuality was questioned after he played a gay man in the 1982 film Making Love.

    “Mainstream films about gay men are still rare today, but back then it was unheard of,” she wrote. “It had never been done. It was way before its time.”

    Applauding Harry for making a brave decision, Lisa revealed “it bit him in the a**,” sharing that he “was blacklisted for several years afterward.”

    As for the status of their marriage, Lisa said she and Harry “have a great amount of trust.”

    “I don’t ever worry about Harry. I am not jealous. he’s not jealous … I would be shocked if I found out he was having an affair,” she admitted.

  • RHOBH’s Amanda Frances Reacts to Sutton Calling Her a “Wimp” and Explains Excluding Dorit From Manifestation Party, Plus Boz Shades Amanda as “Petty” as Dorit Speaks Out

    [ad_1]

    Amanda Frances reflected on her spat with Sutton Stracke after Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    As she also defended excluding Dorit Kemsley, 49, from her manifest party, and Dorit reacted to the lack of an invite, Amanda, 41, refuted claims of deflecting her past comments onto Kyle Richards, 57, slammed the cast for continuously looking for problems, and accused the group of failing to have conversations with the intention of resolution.

    “[Sutton] says, ‘Don’t be a wimp,’ and I say, ‘Don’t talk to me that way at my house,’ because it was just a dig and we had managed to not do any name-calling yet, and I try to do that as an adult, high-functioning woman,” Amanda explained on the February 12 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.

    Meanwhile, Sutton, 54, pointed out that she tends to say “things to [her castmates’] faces” and accused Amanda of pushing her thoughts about Dorit and her negative chatter about her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemlsey, 58, “over to Kyle.”

    As for Amanda, she felt that she was simply “conveying how things happened in the order in which they happened in [her] heart and in [her] intention.”

    “They were saying, ‘But you just blamed Kyle. You just blamed Kyle. You just deflected.’ And I’m like, ‘But Kyle was an integral part of the story.’ Listen, I could have told the whole thing without mentioning Kyle, but in my experience, that’s how it happened,” she shared. 

    After Erika Jayne, 54, noted that the cast had “seen people called worse,” she admitted that being hit with labels in your own home is not something anyone wants to hear.

    Reflecting on the spat in a chat with Dorit, Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 49, said she was surprised to see that Sutton was having Dorit’s back.

    “She was out here defending you, and I was like, ‘Oh, Sutton Brown. Here we go.’ I was very impressed by that,” she noted.

    According to Dorit, she had lunch with Sutton before her spat with Amanda and confronted her for not having spoken up on her behalf earlier.

    “I said, ‘Where were you that night when we had dinner?’ Sutton was there. She’s the one who gave me the information and she wasn’t saying anything, so she took that,” Dorit revealed. “And so once again, I was encouraged by Sutton Brown. I was impressed, and I was encouraged, and I felt like this is really someone who’s making concerted efforts to be a better friend.”

    Still, Amanda felt that her co-stars were looking for a problem.

    “If people show up to someone’s dinner party looking to pick apart and shine a light on everything someone could’ve done different or better, one, that’s odd behavior, and two, if you’re looking for stuff, you’re going to find it,” she explained. “They wanted to draw out more of how they perceive I did something wrong. Again, not the intention to resolve, clear things up, and get on the same page.”

    “I had yet to have a conversation about this matter where we wanted to understand each other. I literally thought that when you have conversations with friends, the goal was to understand each other more,” she added.

    During another moment of the RHOBH: After Show, Amanda explained why she didn’t invite Dorit to he manifestation party.

    “Why would I invite her to my dinner table at my home when she has spoken bout me the way she did at two other dinner tables. Like, would anyone have invited her?” she asked.

    “I would’ve,” Kyle replied. “When there’s an issue in the group, I usually just invite everybody, and if she doesn’t want to come, she doesn’t come.”

    “To me, everybody’s invited,” Kathy Hilton, 66, agreed.

    But Erika felt that Amanda had good reason not to want Dorit in her home.

    “If I go back to the night at [Rachel Zoe’s] dinner party, and then the next experience I have is at the other dinner, I can see where Amanda, I can see where she’s like, ‘I don’t know that I want her at my house,’” she reasoned. “That’s not unrealistic. And why should she have all the goodwill? I mean, at some point, do I think she plays a part in all of this? I do. But it’s on her turf.”

    Elsewhere, after Sutton suggested that it was “awfully early” to be excluding certain members of the group, Boz labeled Amanda’s move “petty.”

    “Beyond,” Dorit replied. “The way it seemed from Kyle, everyone … she deliberately didn’t invite me.”

    “Why?” Boz wondered. “There’s not that much beef that you would have to make a statement like that.”

    Although she may not have understood the move, Dorit made it clear she didn’t care that she was left out.

    “I don’t think I could’ve been more unbothered,” she added.

  • ‘RHOBH’ Star Amanda Frances Doubles Down on Being “Accosted” by Dorit as Kyle Recalls Dorit Approaching Her “Aggressively” and Cast Weighs In

    [ad_1]

    Amanda Frances claimed Dorit Kemsley “verbally accosted” her during a cast get-together on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And, after the show, she made it clear she stood by the allegation.

    As Kyle Richards, 57, recalled Dorit, 49, “aggressively” confronting their castmate and Jennifer Tilly, 67, and Sutton Stracke, 54, admitted to feeling that the word “accosted” may have been too “strong” an accusation, Dorit suggested Amanda, 41, didn’t understand the meaning of the term and Amanda described her encounter with Dorit as “bold” and “intense.”

    “I was approached unnecessarily, boldly, and aggressively for that moment,” Amanda declared on the January 29 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “She could’ve just said, ‘Hey, Amanda, you have experience with this kind of thing. You’re a co-parent … didn’t you do children’s therapy in the past?’ Anything. ‘I hear you have an opinion, what do you think?’ It was not that. It was like, it was just so intense and aggressive, I think in a way that is inappropriate for that moment.”

    “She approached you aggressively, for sure,” Kyle agreed.

    Amanda and Dorit didn’t get off to the best start on season 15, especially after Amanda was critical of the harsh comments Dorit was making about Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, and their co-parenting relationship amid their divorce. And, because Dorit attempted to hash out their issues, unknowingly, on the anniversary of Amanda’s son’s death, the tension between them continued to grow throughout season 15.

    “If you go by what the dictionary says, then yes, it could be perceived as [accosting],” Kyle continued. “[But] I know, in spite of where we’re at right now, I know that she would not have said that if she had known it was the anniversary.”

    As for Jennifer, she denied that Dorit had “[attacked]” Amanda, saying that she felt Dorit was simply opening a new avenue of conversation that Amanda wasn’t ready for.

    “She was in no mood to have that conversation, I guess, but I do think accosted is a strong word,” Jennifer noted.

    “I thought it was strong [too],” Sutton replied. “I’ve seen [Dorit] much more aggressive. She was just being very direct with Amanda. I don’t think it had this heightened atmosphere.”

    Meanwhile, Erika Jayne, 54, suggested it was poor timing for Dorit and Amanda to have the needed discussion.

    “It was a bad night, Amanda’s feelings and everything [were] very fragile and very sensitive. So I’m sure she’s right in feeling like that. However, on any other night, it would’ve been like [Dorit speaking her mind],” she reasoned.

    As for Dorit, she said that when it comes to whether she “accosted” Amanda, she feels she needs “to buy her a dictionary.”

  • RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Shades Sutton as “Condescending ”Over Comment to Amanda as Amanda Recalls Attitude and Sutton Speaks Out, Plus Erika Defends Sutton

    [ad_1]

    Kyle Richards labeled Sutton Stracke “condescending” due to the “missy” comment she made to Amanda Frances on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    After a tense dinner amid their group trip to Sedona, Amanda, 40, woke up to Sutton, 54, seemingly holding a grudge against her due to a comment she made in regard to her former assistant Avi Gabay potentially threatening to spill dirt. Looking back, Amanda reflected on the bad “vibes” between them.

    “It wasn’t like, ‘Oh how dare she;’ it was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who is she thinking I am and what is she thinking I’m doing?’ Like, why are we ‘Hey missy’-ing in the kitchen … at like 8 am?” Amanda wondered on the January 15 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “It had an attitude, and it felt like the vibes [were] going all wrong for us right then.”

    “It feels condescending, absolutely,” Kyle agreed. “It’s definitely not an endearing term … She thought she had something up your sleeve, for sure.”

    While Sutton and Amanda weren’t in a good place in Sedona, things have improved between them since then.

    “I think she knows me now. I think she knows that I don’t come in with agendas,” Amanda noted.

    “She knows now,” Kyle clarified. “But in that moment I think she thought, oh she knows more or is going to say more or was going to do something … She didn’t trust you.”

    Months after the scene was shot, Amanda said Sutton’s reaction to her claim about Avi made “a little more sense.”

    “At the time I’m just thinking, ‘Whoa, whoa.’ But I’m also thinking, ‘You told us you wanted to be Sutton Brown.’ And I’m so invested in personal development. It’s like my whole job. I’m so invested in the idea that people can grow and change. She tells us she wants to turn over a new leaf, and then she’s, ‘Hey missy’ing me, and I’m like, ’It’s not congruent,’” she explained.

    As Sutton admitted she was being “sassy,” Jennifer Tilly, 67, said she’d previously used the term on Sutton, and Kathy Hilton, 66, said Sutton called her “missy” all the time. Meanwhile, Rachel Zoe, 54, said she’d be “really upset” if someone called her “missy” and Erika Jayne, 54, noted that there were “a hell of a lot worse things to call people than ‘missy.’”

    “It’s kind of a love thing,” Kathy reasoned as Jennifer pointed out that “tone” had a lot to do with it.

    “Everything depends on tone,” agreed Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48. “I think the way that Sutton said, yes, I would be offended, but also, Amanda called it to herself. So she kind of deserved it.”

    “It is, it’s the tone,” Dorit Kemsley, 49, replied.

    Erika also noted that Sutton was being threatened as she defended her “missy” comment.

    “Think about what was being said to Sutton. I mean, you’re basically telling her that the man that worked for her, that was really close to her, was going to tell secrets and then you’re upset that she called you missy? That’s pretty out of balance. I don’t find that offensive,” she stated, adding, “What Amanda was saying was far more damaging than ‘missy.’”

  • ‘RHOBH’ Cast Reacts to Dorit Kemsley Being 90 Mins Late for Private Flight as She Details “Impossible Situation” She Was Faced With Before Boarding

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Bravo, Instagram

    Dorit Kemsley arrived late to a private flight on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and after the show, her co-stars shared their thoughts.

    As Dorit, 49, explained her late arrival, sharing that she had been met with an “impossible situation” as the flight was set to leave, her castmates looked back on the “wild” and upsetting turn of events, as Sutton Stracke, 54, stated that she was “unfazed” by Dorit’s failure to be on time.

    “I’ve actually never seen anyone be that late for a private flight ever … then she just sort of waltzed in … it was wild,” Kyle Richards, 56, recalled on the January 8 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.

    “This is my third time to meet Dorit, and all three times, she’d been really late,” added Amanda Frances, 40.

    As Kyle and Amanda noted that they were afraid they’d lose their spot on the tarmac, Erika Jayne, 54, said the fact that Dorit was an hour and a half late felt like “a different level of late.”

    “[And] when she does show up, she looks like she’s overwhelmed,” she continued.

    Meanwhile, Sutton wasn’t bothered. 

    “It was the weirdest thing because I was really unfazed. It didn’t bother me,” she stated. “I thought, you know, this woman’s going through a lot. I don’t want to harass her about being late to an airplane.”

    Although Sutton confirmed that “other people were upset,” Rachel Zoe, 54, said she was “confused.”

    “I didn’t know if everyone else on the plane knew something I didn’t. I know from flying private for many years with friends and things like that, that like, when I’m going to someone’s plane, if they say, ‘Be there at 8 p.m.,’ I’m there at 7:20,” she reasoned.

    In her own After Show segment, Dorit recalled being “stressed and frazzled” on the day of the fight as she admitted to understanding her castmates’ frustrations.

    “I was very, very stressed and frazzled, and it took me more than a minute to like, breathe through it,” she shared. “There was, ‘Are you okay,’ ‘Is everything okay,’ but I think, understandably, when you’re sitting on a jet for 90 minutes, that’s very annoying.”

    As for what happened, Dorit said she “had a lot going on” because her two kids, son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9, were flying home from a two-week visit with her parents in Florida.

    “The kids were supposed to land with my mother in the morning. She’s got macular degeneration, and she can still see, but she cannot read things. She has to have someone do it, so I said to the dispatcher, ‘It’s very important that the driver has the flight info so he knows exactly where to send her … because she’s with my kids,’” she explained.

    Although Dorit expected the driver to take her mother and children to the correct airline, he brought them to the wrong terminal, which resulted in a “whole mess” that Dorit needed to sort through before boarding her own flight.

    “I needed to make sure that she and the kids had a flight … It was really, really an impossible situation,” she noted. “She was already very frantic, so for her not [be able to] reach me, and [know that] I was dealing with it, forget it.”

  • ‘RHOBH’ Star Erika Jayne on Needing “Space” From Dorit, Kyle and Dorit’s “Layered” Feud, and Issue With Amanda, Plus What She Likes About Boyfriend John, and Why Cast Hasn’t Met Him

    [ad_1]

    Erika Jayne is speaking out about her current tension with Dorit Kemsley and sharing her thoughts on their future, as well as Dorit’s drama with Kyle Richards.

    As she also explained her issue with newbie Amanda Frances, 40, spoke of trading insults with Sutton Stracke, 54, and looked back on Bozoma “Boz” Saint John‘s dating event, the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star gushed over her boyfriend John “Shrek” McPhee and admitted that she doesn’t trust everyone on the cast.

    “Each woman has a different relationship with each other on the show. Certain people I can confide in and certain people I can’t,” Erika shared during an interview with Us Weekly shared on January 3.

    According to Erika, she loves and cares about Dorit, 49, “very much,” but feels that they need time apart before coming back together.

    “We just need a little space. I’m sure it will resolve itself on its own time. I think that Kyle and Dorit’s situation, and mine and Dorit’s situation … They have a very layered, different relationship, mostly because of their husbands. They’ve got all of that going on,” she explained. “I just have my one-way thing with Dorit, and I’m sure that in time, in its own time, will get worked out.”

    Moving on to Amanda, Erika suspected Amanda had joined the show unprepared.

    “Particularly on this show, you have to have a lot of life experience entering this group, and I think she could’ve used some more life experience,” she noted. 

    As for her back and forth with Sutton, Erika reasoned, “That’s housewives.”

    “You know that’s coming and I take it on the chin and I think she does too,” she shared. “I know she said she was hurt about the box comment but that’s our Southern shade. And I’m okay with that. That kind of stuff I can live with. The other sh*t is just like, too much.”

    Reflecting on Boz’s mixer, Erika revealed she can get “overwhelmed” and “shy” with men.

    “I’m a fish out of water. I don’t quite know what to do. If I’m not in charge, walking up to you and being like … I can’t sit around. I don’t know. It’s very weird,” she explained.

    Luckily, Erika won’t be doing any more speed dating anytime soon, as she seems to be content with John, whom she met through Spencer Pratt, 42, at a music festival.

    “I’d seen John on these two podcasts. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s that guy. I’m gonna walk up and say hello,’ and that’s exactly what I did. I have to be the aggressor,” she stated. “And he’s like, ‘What is this one?’ Thank god he met me in full costume so we don’t have to spring that on him at a later date … [he was] probably scared.”

    After noting that she’s attracted to men who are “confident and intelligent” and make her feel “comfortable” and “calm,” Erika said John “makes [her] feel really good and calm and peaceful .”

    “He’s a normal, regular person, and does not live in Los Angeles, and I think I needed space from all of this .. I needed a moment. It’s been a lot lately, for the last few years, so it was nice to have someone completely different,” she said.

    As for why the cast hadn’t met him, Erika explained, “Because I like him and I know how bad these things are for your relationship.”

    “I’ve gone through too much on this … I would like to keep that relationship special and over here if I could,” she stated.

    Also during the interview, Erika reflected on her mindset going into season 15.

    “I’ve always tried to approach each season like peaceful and open and excited for something new to happen, and I feel like my life has been steadily getting better. I’ve been brave enough to go through the worst part of my life on television and start in a place, go through a very low time, and try to, you know, continue to pull my way out of it and try to have fun,” she revealed.

  • RHOBH’s Erika Jayne’s Settlement Talks Collapse as She Faces February 2026 Trial in Trustee’s $25 Million Lawsuit, Plus Update on Designer’s $18 Million Case

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Nicole Weingart/Bravo

    Erika Jayne appears to be headed to trial after failing to settle out of court with the trustee presiding over the bankruptcy case of her estranged husband, Thomas Girardi.

    According to a recent court document shared by attorney Ronald Richards on Instagram, the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has “little options” as her trial date for the trustee’s $25 million lawsuit is scheduled for early next year.

    “Settlement talks have broken down completely between [Erika Jayne] and the Trustee. A motion was also filed to gut any remaining defenses she had due to admissions in the Psaila case. Pretrial hearing is less than 30 days away with a 2/10/26 trial date now a real thing. Erika has little options. Panic sitting in,” Ronald captioned the December 24 post.

    Along with his message, Ronald included a screenshot of a joint status report, which listed Elissa D. Miller, who sued Erika in April 2022, as the plaintiff and Erika and her companies, including EJ Global, as the defendants.

    The document also confirmed a pre-trial conference set for January 21, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., and a trial date scheduled for February 10, 2026, at 8:30 a.m.

    As for the Psaila case that Ronald mentioned, Erika was accused of falsely claiming that Christoper Psaila‘s design firm, Marco Marco, made $800,000 in fraudulent charges to her American Express card, leading him to file an $18 million lawsuit against her (fellow designer Marco Morante filed his own case against Erika in Florida).

    As she continues to face claims of extortion and plotting to ruin the designers’ careers, Erika could be headed to trial in the case as well.

  • RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Claims Newbie Amanda Frances “[Pisses] Everyone Off,” Defends Kyle Richards’ Decision to Keep Love Life Private

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Erika Jayne dished on the “new energy” of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 and revealed that Amanda Frances pissed everyone off during an interview before Christmas.

    As she also suggested that Amanda’s behavior could be a problem for the show and offered advice to potential newbies, Erika, 54, spoke of the cast shakeup ahead of the new episodes, explained how the relationships between the women ebb and flow, and defended Kyle Richards, 56, against critics who don’t think she shares enough on the show.

    “People like to see new energy. They like to see different reactions. We’re a tight-knit group of people, so of course, new blood is always going to shake things up,” Erika explained during a December 23 interview with Pride.

    In addition to Amanda, 40, Rachel Zoe, 54, joined the cast for season 15. But while Rachel had prior ties to the majority of the cast and came in as a friend, Amanda quickly rubbed many the wrong way with her many opinions.

    “That can be a problem,” Erika noted. “Because if you do that and you piss everyone off, then what? Friendships ebb and flow, and people go through hard times in their lives, and everybody reacts differently, and sometimes you need a break, but what you do need to have is a point of view, and you need to be able to express that.”

    Still, according to Erika, it’s better to come in strong with your opinions than to expect someone else to have your back.

    “My advice to anyone coming on would be to have a point of view and don’t be afraid to speak your mind. And don’t look for backup, because it’s not coming,” she explained.

    Looking ahead, Erika said she would continue to be an ally and a performer for the gays.

    “It’s always for the gays! Who do you think it’s for? All my life, my mentors and teachers have been gay people. To be an ally of the gay community is important. We need to show up for one another!” she declared.

    During another interview with Us Weekly, Erika defended Kyle’s decision to keep her love life private.

    “I know what Kyle’s been through,” Erika explained. “So watching her take this step and being able to say what was on her heart, I think was very brave of her.”

    On a recent episode, Kyle admitted she “fell hard” for someone, allegedly singer Morgan Wade, after her separation from Mauricio Umansky, 55.

    “It was very painful for Kyle. You can see the look on my face … There’s so much,” Erika shared, signaling her own past secrecy on the show. 

    “People really expected me to speak more about what I was going through knowing that, legally, I couldn’t. But that didn’t matter. The thing is — and Kyle said this — if it were just up to her, she’s more than happy to say. There are other people involved here. They’re not on this show, and I think sometimes the viewers forget that,” she noted. “We signed up for this, but they didn’t. You see a part of our lives.”

    “We have lives that include other people, and that doesn’t necessarily mean including them on the show,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Reacts to Garcelle Saying She’d Return If She Was Fired, Admits Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Are “Dead to [Her]”

    Erika Jayne offered a response to Garcelle Beauvais saying she’d return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills if she were fired while attending BravoCon last weekend.

    As she and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, teased what is to come on the upcoming 15th season, Erika, 54, shaded Lisa Vanderpump, 65, and Camille Grammer, 57, and reacted to claims Garcelle, 58, made against her on an episode of Watch What Happens Live last month.

    “Okay. That’s my opinion. Yeah, it’s fine,” Erika replied when Decider asked her about Garcelle’s comment at BravoCon. 

    Meanwhile, Boz admitted to wishing they could’ve worked things out with Garcelle prior to her sudden exit from the season 14 reunion.

    “I would hope that we would all be able to talk things through and to be able to really dissect conflict. I believe in resolution always, and it doesn’t work if the person isn’t there to do it,” she noted. 

    As for whether she’d welcome Garcelle back to RHOBH, Erika noted, “It’s not my decision,” as Boz said “a conversation would be necessary.”

    Regarding season 15, Boz said there “are a lot of us.”

    “A lot of opinions,” Erika replied. “A lot of talking. And sometimes I don’t know what about.

    Also at BravoCon, Erika appeared on the November 18 episode of BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen, where she was asked if she’d rather have Lisa or Camille return to the show. And, after a brief pause, Erika didn’t mince words.

    “They’re both dead to me,” she stated, via Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

    While fans have called for the returns of both women in recent years, Erika isn’t interested. And, if both women are sticking to their guns, neither will be returning anytime soon. In fact, during her own interview with Jerry O’Connell, 51, at BravoCon, Lisa said, point-blank, “I’m not going back.”

    “I did that. I did that for 10 years, and that was so many years ago. I’ve moved on, and hopefully, so have they,” she stated. 

    “I wish them well,” she added. “I don’t really have a relationship with them for sure, but my life is extraordinarily busy, and I personally don’t have any time for negativity.”

  • Erika Jayne’s Attorney Accused of Stealing COVID Relief Money to Fund Her Lifestyle and Stalling Designer’s $18 Million Case Against the RHOBH Star

    Erika Jayne‘s friend and attorney, James Wilkes, is being accused of stealing millions of dollars in COVID-19 relief funds from the United States government in an effort to fund her lavish lifestyle.

    Two years after designer Christopher Psaila, of the Marco Marco fashion house, filed an $18 million lawsuit against the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, accusing her of conspiracy and malicious prosecution, the same man is suing James, claiming he was the “mastermind of a conspiracy” behind an alleged plot to delay and derail his initial case against Erika.

    According to a November 17 report from Radar Online, Christopher believes James scammed the government out of money meant for those in need by being dishonest about the number of employees he had on payroll.

    As Christopher explained, James falsely “represented to the PPP that his firm had 40 full-time positions more than it actually had.”

    “The source of the funds that Wilkes used to pay, invest in, or loan Erika Jayne and her team, and to pay attorneys to defend Erika Jayne and team in other lawsuits, were two Covid loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (‘PPP Loans’) in the amounts of $2,393,079 and $2,000,000,” the federal lawsuit explained. “The U.S. Small Business Administration forgave both of these loans, which were meant for salaries for employees who would otherwise be laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

    As RHOBH fans may recall, Christopher faced fraud charges after he was accused of making $800,000 in fraudulent charges to Erika’s American Express card between 2014 and 2016, and his business was raided the following year. And while the charges against him were eventually found to be false and dropped, he said the allegations caused him to lose “tens of millions of dollars.” He ultimately sued Erika and two former Secret Service agents.

    “Any investigation at all, or review of the evidence seized in January 2017, would have uncovered that Marco Marco and Psaila had documented proof that all costumes and services had been supplied to [Jayne], that all the charges were authorized, and that no fraud occurred,” his case stated.

  • ‘RHOBH’ Star Dorit Kemsley Discusses Erika Jayne “[Losing] It” on Her, Ups and Downs With Kyle Richards, and Co-Parenting With PK Amid Divorce, Plus Update on Boz Saint-John Friendship

    [ad_1]

    Dorit Kemsley opened up about her drama with Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards during a panel at BravoCon on Friday.

    Weeks before the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15, Dorit, 49, recalled Erika, 54, “[losing] it” on her, spoke of her ups and downs with Kyle, 56, and admitted that co-parenting with her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, 57, has been “challenging” while also speaking of her other show relationships and friendship with Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48.

    “It came out of left field. It was very surprising. Shocking,” Dorit admitted of her spat with Erika in a clip shared by Us Weekly.

    “I love Dorit. I lost it on Dorit. That’s the way it happened,” Erika explained.

    As for Kyle, she told Us Weekly that her and Dorit’s tension was “sad,” since they “love and care about each other,” and admitted to feeling that their respective splits from Mauricio Umansky, 55, and PK added strain to their relationship.

    “We both went through a very difficult time, which I think made it difficult to move forward,” she shared. “And then coming into this season, we were able to make progress, which was great, and then we made three steps forward and maybe four steps back.”

    “Would you agree with that assessment?” she then asked Dorit.

    “I don’t know that I would agree with going through a difficult time and making it difficult to move forward. I thought we were moving forward. In fact, I thought at the reunion that we had moved forward,” she replied.

    According to Kyle, she felt that they were in a “good place” at a certain point.

    “Definitely. I would agree with that. But it didn’t really turn out to be that way,” Dorit noted.

    As she navigated her drama with her RHOBH castmates, Dorit was also faced with drama from her ex.

    “It’s challenging,” she told Us Weekly of co-parenting her two kids, Jagger, 11, and Phoenix, 9, with PK. “I’m hoping that things will sort of straighten out because I think that that’s really important. We need to be able to prioritize our children, and I’m hoping that at some point things will become a little bit less challenging.”

    During another interview, with Chanel Ayan, 47, for Bravo, Dorit said she and PK were “still going through a divorce” and noted that while she and Kyle “were” doing better during season 15, they’re currently “working through [their] issues” in hopes of getting to a “better place.

    As for who she was close with amid production, Dorit named newbie Rachel Zoe, 54.

    “I love Rachel Zoe. Absolutely love her. In fact, I say this and I stand by it, two of the greatest casting choices in Beverly Hills ever, ever, in the history of Beverly Hills? Boz and Rachel,” she declared.

    “Boz and I have a very close relationship. I love her with my heart and soul,” she added.

    Also speaking to Ayan, Dorit confirmed she’s still smoking.

    “Yes, I am. In fact, probably now more than ever,” she stated.

    Kyle Richards seems to confirm that she’s into both men and women in the just-released trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15.

    As Dorit Kemsley, 49, and Mauricio Umansky, 55, are seen at a restaurant, Erika Jayne, 54, goes public with her new boyfriend, John “Shrek” McPhee, and Denise Richards, 54, admits she’s afraid of Aaron Phypers, 53, newbies Rachel Zoe, 54, and Amanda Frances are introduced to the group, Sutton Stracke, 54, butts heads with Jennifer Tilly, 67, and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, questions Kyle, 56, about her personal life.

    “Look, I’m a girls’ girl. But in order to be friends, I want to know the information so that I can also be helpful,” Boz tells Kyle as the clip begins.

    “Well, why don’t you ask what you really want to ask: I could go Brad; I could go Angelina,” Kyle replies.

    Boz then tells her co-star, “I have to know what you want,” and Kyle says, “Someone who likes sex.”

    During another moment, Kyle opens up about her ongoing estrangement from Mauricio.

    “You need to go out there and do whatever makes you happy,” Erika tells her.

    “I’m trying,” Kyle replies as she’s later seen having a tear wiped away by Mau.

    Another relationship in turmoil is that of Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58.

    “He’s never [texted] me once asking to see the kids,” Dorit tells Mauricio during an outing at a restaurant.

    “I’m hearing different stories,” Mau replies.

    With her castmates struggling to work through the ends of their marriages, Erika is enjoying the start of her new romance as she makes it “official” with her boyfriend.

    “That was a hard launch,” Kyle declares after John is seen on a FaceTime call.

    Erika is then seen sitting down with Denise.

    “How could you release pictures of your wife naked?” Denise wonders.

    “Are you afraid?” Erika replies.

    “Yeah,” Denise, whose estranged husband has been accused of abuse, confirms. “Very.”

    While Kyle high-fives Dorit in one scene, all isn’t well between them, as they are later seen engaging in a tense moment during dinner with their castmates.

    “You’re lying. And you know what doesn’t lie? The cameras,” Kyle declares.

    Meanwhile, speaking to Kathy Hilton, 66, Dorit says, “Those days of me sitting there, grinning and bearing it, swallowing it, taking it, those days are f*cking over.”

    Kyle and Dorit are also seen with Erika, who appears to be trying to intervene.

    “I’m not gonna stop talking,” Erika tells Dorit.

    But Dorit isn’t interested in what Erika has to say and storms off, telling her co-stars, “Go f*ck yourselves.”

    As Rachel makes her grand entrance into the group, she reminds viewers, “My name’s Rachel Zoe. You may or may not remember me from Bravo because I’ve lived here before.”

    She then accuses someone of being “fake” and playing “both sides” before a scene shows her crying about her failed attempt at a “hot girl summer.”

    During their cast trip to Florence, Italy, the group is introduced to Amanda, whom Sutton immediately welcomes.

    “To Amanda, our new friend,” she announces amid a meal.

    “And Rachel’s our new friend, too,” Boz notes.

    “She’s been here a minute, though. I’m new-new,” Amanda fires back.

    Although Sutton seems to take a liking to Amanda, not everyone else does. 

    “Something’s off with this girl,” Erika suspects.

    And Boz later tells the newbie, “You are not being clear about your life.”

    Once back home, during a chat with her partner, Amanda suspects that one of the women is intimidated by her “because I’m young and successful and I’m not financially dependent on a man, and she outsourced her financial well-being to a man and it didn’t go well.”

    Elsewhere in the trailer, Rachel confirms her divorce from Rodger Berman to her two sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11, Boz undergoes surgery and seems to get bad news, and drama erupts between Sutton and Jennifer.

    “That’s why Garcelle left: Because it’s always all about Sutton,” Jennifer declares, signaling Garcelle Beauvais, 58, and her March exit from the series.

    Kyle Richards confirmed on Amazon Live on Tuesday that she still hasn’t officially returned to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    While addressing a number of Bravo-related rumors, including an ultimatum she allegedly was dealt, and sharing her thoughts on her past and present co-stars, Kyle, 55, confirmed if she is in contact with Dorit Kemsley, 47, and revealed which one-season wonders she felt deserved a second season.

    During an April 30 appearance on Amazon Live, after being asked about her potential return for season 14, Kyle stated, “I can’t confirm that right now.”

    As for claims of Chelsea Handler, 49, joining the show, which the comedian has denied, Kyle added, “There’s always so many rumors. I really don’t believe that one at all. I would not hold your breath for that one.”

    Last month, with the season 14 cast remaining up in the air, it was alleged by the Daily Mail that Kyle had been dealt with an ultimatum from producers: Either showcase what’s really going on with Morgan Wade, 29, or be fired.

    “I don’t even know what I’m doing yet, guys, so that can’t be true,” Kyle said of the report.

    Looking back at her past and present castmates, Kyle said longtime family friend Faye Resnick, 66, has been asked to return.

    “Faye was a cast member, and then I think they asked her again, and she said no,” she shared.

    For Kyle, it’s hard to say which season had the best cast. However, she did give a nod to the group from season one, which included Lisa Vanderpump, 63, Adrienne Maloof, 62, Kim Richards, 59, Camille Grammer, 55, and Taylor Armstrong, 52.

    “The original cast was amazing … we’ve had so many great people,” she stated.

    At the conclusion of RHOBH season 13 earlier this year, Kyle and Dorit’s friendship was strained. And still, months later, they remain estranged.

    “I haven’t seen her or spoken to her actually,” Kyle confirmed.

    As for who she’s had the most contact with since filming wrapped, Kyle said, “I would say [Sutton Stracke] and [Erika Jayne].”

    On the heels of the exits of Annemarie Wiley, 41, and Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 41, Kyle was asked who was most deserving of a second season.

    “[Diana Jenkins] and Annemarie,” she replied. “I really liked [Kathyrn Edwards], Diana, and Annemarie. I don’t know, I would’ve liked to see more of them.”

    She then addressed her acting career, saying she’s been “taking a break.”

    “You know what’s funny, I just had a movie come out recently, and I never even watched it,” she added.

    ‘It Was An Honor’: Crystal Kung Minkoff Announces Exit From RHOBH After 3 Seasons

    [ad_1]

    Ahead of the show’s forthcoming 14th season, reality star Crystal Kung Minkoff informed her fans on Instagram that she will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I would want to inform everyone that I will not be returning to shoot Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14,” she wrote.

    41-year-old Kung Minkoff remarked in her video clip that the decision was bittersweet and heartbreaking. “I would never have imagined being asked to do the program, much less film three seasons of it, in a million years.” She thanked the show for asking her to come back every year and said that it was a privilege. 

    Minkoff is grateful for the show 

    Married to renowned director Rob Minkoff, Kung Minkoff said that she felt blessed to be the first Asian American in Beverly Hills, which was a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. “I have since just really understood the magnitude of what that meant for people,” she said. She also thanked her fans and followers for their support on the show. She also told that she was glad that her issues resonated with people. “I hope that by sharing my experience regarding my eating issue and my father’s Alzheimer’s, I have been able to do the same for you. I’ve heard so many amazing tales from you people.”

    Crystal informed her fans that every end is a beginning, and she will greet her fans soon. “In the end, filmmaking has been my greatest gift. Therefore, I have some other things going on that I will be sharing with you shortly that will still allow me to connect with you. With your lovely tales, this exhibition is touching so many of you.” She clarified that there is more to come from her, and while she got an opportunity to share her tale through the show, she hopes the audience gets a chance to tell theirs one day.

    She also mentioned how grateful her family is to the viewers. “I’ve had so much fun with this chapter. So, once again, thank you so much,” she said. In 2021, Kung Minkoff became a part of the Beverly Hills-based brand for season 11. She instantly started to disagree with Sutton Stracke at that point. One of the debates between the once-enemy-turned-friends was about dispelling racial prejudices. She also talked candidly about her ongoing family dynamics and issues with eating disorders.

    Who is in the next season of RHOBH?

    During the current season, Kung Minkoff’s last season, she got into a conflict with newbie Annemarie Wiley, whose departure from the show was announced in March after just one season. The 13th season of the Bravo hit, which ended on March 13 following a three-part reunion, also starred Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, and Garcelle Beauvais. The new season’s filming has not yet started.

    Minkoff (PC: Getty Images)

    Rob Minkoff, a film director, is married to Kung Minkoff. Max, the son, and Zoe, the daughter, are the couple’s two children. The reality TV personality disclosed in a February interview with USA TODAY’s The Essentials that Rob, who has himself appeared on multiple episodes of RHOBH, adores his wife’s ‘ugly leather trousers,’ the iconic pair of trousers that co-star Sutton Stracke yelled at Kung Minkoff. Kung Minkoff stated at the time that her filmmaker husband was very protective of the trousers and wouldn’t let her wear them. 

    “He’s saying, ‘Don’t mess with them. ‘Do you have the trousers?’ he asks, randomly checking in. They’ve been folded. He believes they ought to be at the Smithsonian or another institution. He is really fixated.”

    Erika Jayne Loses Court Battle and Faces Trial After Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss $18 Million Lawsuit From Costume Designer, Details Revealed & RHOBH Live Viewing Thread

    Erika Jayne has just suffered what is being described as one of her “worst” court losses.

    On Tuesday, a judge denied the 52-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member’s request to have a lawsuit filed against her by fashion designer Christopher Psaila dismissed, which could ultimately send her to trial. Christopher was arrested and indicted on charges of fraud after being accused of charging $787,000 to Erika’s American Express card.

    “Devastating day for Erika Girardi, to our surprise, the federal court in a short opinion DENIED her SLAPP motion to dismiss Christopher Psaila’s case,” attorney Ronald Richards revealed on Twitter on February 27. “[Erika] will now face a trial on allegations she falsely got her costume designer charged. Nothing is ever a lock in court. Congrats to Marco Marco! This is one of her worst losses as she won’t be able to delay this trial and the facts are bad for her.”

    In February 2023, it was reported that Thomas Girardi, 84, may have used his connection to Lorenzo Robert Savage III, head of the Los Angeles office of the U.S. Secret Service, to bring charges against Christopher in regard to supposedly unauthorized charges he made to Erika’s credit card in exchange for Thomas representing Lorenzo in a separate case.

    Christopher denied the charges against him. And ultimately, after plenty of heartache that followed Erika being refunded the money, which was payment for costumes Christopher’s company, Marco Marco, made for the RHOBH cast member, the charges were dismissed.

    In a statement at the time, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in L.A. reacted to a potential mishandling of the situation by the Secret Service, who allegedly investigated the charges without hearing Christopher’s side of the story.

    “We ultimately determined that law enforcement evidence preservation issues undermined our ability to prosecute the case and the interests of justice supported dismissal,” the statement said.

    Months later, Christopher sued Erika for over $18 million, alleging she and Thomas participated in an extortion scheme against him and his business and ruined his career.

    After the filing of Christopher’s case, Erika’s attorney, Evan Borges, responded with a statement.

    “Plaintiff’s claims against Erika are entirely without merit. Independent federal prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office made the decision to charge plaintiff with crimes, no one else. The notion that Erika controlled the U.S. Government, or for that matter a Fortune 100 company such as American Express, is fantasy,” he stated.

    RHOBH Live Viewing – This is also the live viewing thread for part one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 reunion, which airs tonight at 8/7c on Bravo. As the episode airs, feel free to post your thoughts below.

    Erika Jayne and her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates are expected to film the reunion special for their 13th season in two weeks. And during an interview last week, Erika teased what is to come.

    While also confirming if she’s been in touch with Denise Richards, 52, since their dramatic face-off, sharing her thoughts on newbie Annemarie Wiley, 40, and reacting to Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, suggesting her moments of speaking up have been cut from the show, Erika, 52, revealed if she’ll return for season 14 and shared which of her co-stars will have the most to answer to at the reunion.

    “Not me. And that I am really happy about. I’m sure [Andy Cohen] is going to really press [Kyle Richards]. I think Kyle is going to have a hard time again this year,” Erika said during a January 10 interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I think I did all the clearing [up] I need to. I think I’m okay. It’s definitely better than the last few years so I’m good.”

    One of Erika’s most tense moments of RHOBH was her spat with Denise. And when asked if they’ve spoken, Erika gave an emphatic, “No!”

    Then, when she was told that Denise has since admitted to making an a** out of herself on the show, Erika was happy to hear it.

    “Oh, thank you. I’m glad she said that. I didn’t hear that,” she stated.

    Erika was then asked about her and Denise’s OnlyFans drama, which featured Erika giving a nod to the fact that both Denise and her daughter, Sami Sheen, 19, have accounts on the adult platform.

    “I did not find out who was more profitable on OnlyFans but put up those numbers and let’s see,” she encouraged.

    In recent episodes, the dynamic has seemed to be Annemarie vs. everyone else. But when it comes to Erika, she isn’t opposed to the newbie.

    “I got along with Annemarie. I did and I just spoke on the phone with her last night. I think she’s a great addition,” Erika shared. “She came in with a strong opinion and that’s what makes Housewives. Whether you like her, whether you don’t, she did her job.”

    Because Annemarie has gone on and on about Sutton Stracke‘s esophagus, questioning her health on a number of occasions, many have spoken out against her. Still, in Erika’s opinion, Annemarie is simply doing what she can to navigate the often unruly world of reality television.

    “You can’t tell someone what to do. She’s new to the group. She’s finding out what to do,” Erika reasoned.

    Regarding Crystal’s suggestion that her moments of “speaking up” have been edited out of RHOBH, Erika said she hadn’t heard of any such thing.

    “I don’t know because I’m too busy worried about myself and I’m very loud. So I don’t remember,” she noted.

    Also during the interview, Erika was asked if she’d say, “yes,” if approached for a role on season 14.

    “Yeah,” she confirmed. “I think it’s one of these things that you have to do what’s right for you at the time, for them and for you — it’s an agreement.”

    As for what she believes needs to happen for a more cohesive cast in future episodes, be it a cast shakeup or something else, Erika suggested her co-stars simply need to be more authentic.

    “I think if people thought independently and really said how they felt about certain people and weren’t afraid to be themselves, you would probably see some friendships split up, and I use that word friendships lightly … What I know and what people see are two different things,” she said.

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

    Lisa Rinna has landed on the cover of Cosmopolitan. And in true form, she’s made quite the splash.

    In addition to posing in a sparkly sheer jumpsuit, exposing her nipples to readers, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 60, opened up about her sex life with Harry Hamlin, 72, explained how her daughters Delilah Hamlin, 25, and Amelia Hamlin, 22, have reacted to having her as a mom, and admitted to “[prostituting]” herself in the entertainment industry while also looking back on her mom’s death, her Bravo exit, and more.

    “I have not always been this in touch with my sexuality at all. I grew up very repressed, like everybody did in the ’60s. It just wasn’t something that nice girls did or talked about or flaunted, especially not in Medford, Oregon, where I was raised,” Lisa admitted in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan.

    Even when she first met Harry, Lisa was not the woman people know today.

    “Harry is so accepting of who I am and always has been, and so I’ve grown into that. He’s been a supportive partner this whole time, 31 years later … [And] within those 31 years, I had children … And then I had postpartum depression and I completely lost my mojo,” she shared.

    While Lisa felt hopeless amid her struggles with postpartum depression, an antidepressant helped tremendously, and a pole dancing class helped her reclaim her mojo.

    “That changed everything, because it felt safe,” she explained. “It changed my whole perception and fear about sexuality and expressing yourself. I did it for a good two years, and I don’t think I ever looked back. Then I was just able to really be open, really share it. Harry was thrilled, obviously. I mean, I learned a lot of really good tricks.”

    When Lisa was ultimately faced with menopause, she was initially concerned about taking hormones due to a potential breast cancer risk, as the disease runs in her family. But once she saw an Eastern-Western medicine doctor and figured out the right mix that actually protects her from the disease, she began to thrive once again.

    “They have been really helpful in my being able to stay feeling good about myself,” she noted. “For me, it’s about finding a way to just be comfortable and not put pressure on myself as to who I am in this moment at 60 years old.”

    Although Lisa confessed that she doesn’t “want to have sex every five seconds,” she said she and Harry do their best to make time for one another.

    “I think that it’s almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality. We really have great sex together, and we always have. It’s just that maybe it doesn’t happen quite as often as it did when you’re in your 30s and in your 20s,” she shared.

    When Lisa’s Instagram bio was then mentioned, in which she proclaims herself as a “hustler,” she admitted she’s “prostituted [herself] out.”

    “I’ve sold my soul; I’ve prostituted myself. I’ve done many things, but at least I know exactly what I’ve done and the price I’ve paid. And come on, we’re all human,” she reasoned.

    Throughout the decades she’s spent in entertainment, Lisa has learned not to care about the opinions of others.

    “I just don’t give a sh*t about what people think about me, and that has been a tremendous gift that I have learned,” she proclaimed. “Everything that I’ve gone through has brought me to this point where I do not f*cking care what anybody thinks about me. I don’t need your approval.”

    That said, she can’t imagine what it’s like for Delilah and Amelia.

    “Imagine having me as your mom and opening up your Instagram and I’m, like, dancing or doing some funny thing,” she posed. “I think that if you look at them and you see what they’ve accomplished at such a young age, I don’t think it’s a negative. I think it’s actually a positive, because they see that anything is possible. Like today, my daughter said, ‘Oh my god, Mom, you’re a rock star.’ I was showing her photos from this shoot, and I thought, ‘That’s a cool thing to hear from your 22-year-old.’”

    During Lisa’s final season on RHOBH, she was met with the tragic death of her beloved mother, Lois Rinna, which she now says “changed [her] whole life.”

    “I lost my mind. I went crazy. I was filming. I was trying to grieve in public. And I went absolutely insane in the process until I removed myself from the situation and was really able to sit and grieve more properly,” she explained, adding that leaving Bravo helped her to properly grieve the loss.

    “I would say the therapy was the most helpful and absolutely saved me, as did getting off the show and getting out of that environment so that I could have peace, and so I could just allow myself to be. I had to leave that situation in order to find myself again,” she shared.

    On the premiere episode of RHOBH season 13, after speculation regarding a potential firing, Lisa’s exit letter to producers was aired.

    “I had no idea. Nobody gave me a heads-up,” Lisa revealed of the scene. “I mean, a week before it aired, somebody sent it to me because Bravo had sent out a preview of the episode. So I thought, ‘Wow, look at that.’ Because, of course, everyone thought I’d been fired. But no, I made that decision.”

    Looking back, Lisa said, “It was the right decision to make, at the time.”

    “I didn’t regret it when I sent the letter, and I haven’t regretted it since,” she continued.

    Following her exit from the show, Lisa quit watching the series.

    “I’m not [watching]. I think that when you leave a job that you’ve had for eight years, you have to really disengage, and I had to disengage completely for my own sanity,” she stated. “I have my friends that I talk to, and they will always be my friends, because they became my friends through the show.”

    While Lisa certainly gained several friends during her eight years on RHOBH, she said it was Erika Jayne, 52, who supported her when she was the most vulnerable.

    “There was one. Erika Jayne was very supportive of me and helped me through that time. Our pain connected us really well at the time,” Lisa revealed, adding, “Diana Jenkins, who came on the show very, very briefly, she also has been a great support.”

    In addition to having no regrets about leaving Bravo, Lisa also said she doesn’t regret joining the series to begin with, saying it was one of the “greatest decisions [she’s] ever made.”

    “That show brought me so many positives. It was a great thing for me to do at the time, absolutely great. And it was the right time for me to go. I think it served its purpose for both of us, for me and for Bravo. Absolutely,” she declared.

  • RHOBH's Crystal Kung-Minkoff Addresses Kyle & Dorit's “Dangerous” Comments on Sutton's Drinking, Reveals Warning She Gave Sutton, and Shares Update on Friendship With Erika

    Crystal Kung-Minkoff didn’t like Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s conversation about Sutton Stracke‘s drinking on an earlier episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    While attending a party at Kathy Hilton‘s Bel Air home earlier this month, Crystal, 40, shot down the potentially “dangerous” narrative her castmates put out there as she dished on her friendships with Sutton, 52, and Erika Jayne, 52, and admitted that for her, season 13 was about being honest.

    “I didn’t like that at all,” Crystal said of the chat Kyle, 54, and Dorit, 47, had about Sutton’s drinking during a recent interview with Extra TV. “I was a little bit quiet because I was trying to absorb what was going on and I just think that narrative is not only unkind but can be hurtful and, in some ways, dangerous for people.”

    “If you really believe that [there is an issue], then there needs to be a movement to help someone,” she added. “But I didn’t feel that was the situation, personally.”

    During production on season 13, Sutton faced challenges as she learned her ex-husband Christian Strake would be moving to London, potentially with her and their son, just hours before her meltdown at Magic Mike.

    Looking back, Crystal revealed that she warned Sutton about hiding certain information.

    “I actually told her the other day, I said, ‘Now that we’re close, it’s really important for you to say it.’ I’m like, ‘If things are going on behind closed doors, just let me know. You don’t need to tell me details.’ Because that’s why we struggled my first two years on the show — because she had other stuff going on.”

    She also advised Sutton against taking her personal hardships out on her castmates.

    “I said, ‘You can’t take it out on people,’” she shared.

    In addition to being in a better place with Sutton throughout season 13, Crystal also enjoyed getting to know Erika better.

    “I actually always have liked her and I think, what you don’t really see the first two years, she was very protective of me, very supportive,” Crystal explained. “I think she felt really bad when I brought up stuff in her lawsuit but that wasn’t to be vindictive. That was just how I felt and she’s the one who encouraged me to say how I feel and so I think that’s why we’re okay, is because she knows I came from a place of authenticity.”

    “We’re good. I’m happy we’re friends,” Crystal added. “I’m fine with everyone, actually.”

    Going into her third year on the show, Crystal said she was determined to speak her mind.

    “This year is really just being honest and saying how I feel in the moment, and I think if it’s reasonable, then people accept it. Because you’re not doing it to be vindictive. You’re just there to be honest,” she noted. “And sometimes people need to be called out.”

  • RHOBH Star Kyle Richards Talks Dorit Being “Jealous” of Morgan Relationship as Dorit Addresses “Distance” From Kyle, Plus Crystal Admits She Had Suspicions Over Kyle & Morgan’s Closeness

    Kyle Richards believes Dorit Kemsley is “jealous” of her close-knit friendship with Morgan Wade.

    After Dorit, 47, admitted on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that she feels she’s been replaced by Morgan, 28, whom Kyle, 54, tattooed a “K” on amid production, Kyle poked fun at Dorit’s hilarious reaction to the ink as Erika Jayne, 52, and Annemarie Wiley, 40, agreed that Dorit was envious of the bond Kyle and Morgan share.

    “Obviously when I just put my initial, I knew that would get a reaction from people, but I didn’t care. And Dorit’s reaction may have been the funniest of all,” Kyle recalled on the December 20 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “She was like, ‘Kyle!’ She’s just a little jealous … She was feeling like we didn’t spend a lot of time together.”

    According to Dorit, she was “very surprised” to learn that Kyle had tattooed Morgan due to the length of time they’d known one another.

    “That’s kind of… wow … She was laughing. I was like, ‘What?!’” she shared. “They’ve gotten so close, you know, Morgan’s surpassed my closeness with Kyle. So obviously from, selfishly, from my standpoint, I think it’s like what? You just became friends with this girl maybe two years [ago].

    But, according to Erika, that surprise likely stemmed from jealousy.

    “[Dorit] needs to feel like she’s in first place with you. She didn’t feel like she was in first place,” Erika told Kyle.

    And Annemarie agreed.

    “I think Dorit is a little bit jealous and I think she’s a little bit hurt. Kyle spends so much of her time with Morgan. She actually kind of like, gushes about Morgan, right? So I can see how Dorit would almost feel like she’s being replaced a little bit,” Annemarie reasoned.

    Speaking of the relationship between Kyle and Morgan, who have faced months of romance rumors, Dorit explained that Teddi Mellencamp, 42, is also part of the friend group.

    “[But] Kyle and Morgan are definitely the closest in that group,” she clarified, adding, “I wish that Kyle had not pulled away from me.”

    Looking back at what caused that divide between them, Kyle said the RHOBH season 12 reunion left her feeling less than supported by Dorit as her relationship with her sister Kathy Hilton, 64, fell apart.

    “After the reunion, I was really upset,” she revealed. “I was talking with [Sutton Stracke] and Dorit, and they knew what was going on, and they knew my side. And then when Dorit made some comment like, ‘I think your sister just wants to feel supported.’ And I was like, ‘Wow. What do you think I want? And what about that conversation we just had yesterday?’ I was really disappointed and listen, I love Dorit. I love her and I don’t hold on to that stuff but I just needed a minute and I was like ‘Gosh, you guys know what I’m going through right now.’”

    “You didn’t feel supported,” Erika agreed.

    Even Dorit acknowledged that Kyle had a hard time at the taping, although she didn’t suspect their time apart would last so long.

    “The reunion was very, very, very hard for Kyle. I just, I guess I kinda thought she’d have a couple of months where she withdraws, but those couple of months ended up being a lot longer, and it just felt very much like there was just distance between us,” she explained. “And that upset me. And then obviously, as I was experiencing that, I was seeing, via social media, who she was spending her time with.”

    Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, also “couldn’t help but notice” that Kyle was “always posting about Morgan.”

    “That struck me, and I did think, I was like, it felt like a different relationship than her other friends. It did,” she admitted.

    Regarding the ongoing romance rumors about Kyle and Morgan, Dorit said she could see how they would start.

    “Even I, I was suspect, but I think Kyle, she’s said now over and over and cleared it up, they’re very good friends. [But] I don’t think you help the rumors when you do music videos where you’re playing one another’s love interest,” she noted.

    “My question is, why are they doing that if they’re constantly [denying a romance]?” Crystal replied.
