Lisa Rinna Tells All in First Interview Since RHOBH Exit

Lisa also said she gives Kathy “a lot of credit” for attending the RHOBH season 12 reunion. “She could have run like Lisa Vanderpump did. But she came and she fought,” she added. “She’s got balls and I respect that she stood up for what she wants people to believe and what she believes in. And I felt good about seeing her and going, ‘Hey, we kind of went through the fire together and here we are. We’re still standing.'”

Concluding her thoughts on Kathy, she said, “There are great things about Kathy Hilton. As her sister Kim [Richards] said to her, ‘Just don’t lose your temper on the show.'”

Addressing her RHOBH exit—which she claims she told her co-stars about at the season 12 reunion taping—Lisa stated that “everything Housewives has to go away for a while,” which includes spending time apart from some of her castmates. But the experience of starring on the hit series is one Lisa says she is “grateful” for.
