Lisa Rinna’s most recent appearance on “The Traitors” gave an emotional glimpse into her exit from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
On Thursday, Rinna, 62, appeared on the hit Peacock series and was the newest to be banished at the roundtable. She took the opportunity in a confessional to reflect on her overall journey with realtiy TV.
“The end of ‘Housewives’ was very difficult for me,” she reflected, while crying. “It was just so nice to be me. I am just so grateful for the entire experience. Thank you.”
Rinna joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” during season 5, and spent eight seasons on the Bravo show before leaving in 2022.
“This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series,” Rinna told People in a statement at the time.
“It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!”
According to the outlet, Rinna and Bravo’s parting of ways was mutually agreed upon.
Just a few days ago, Rinna backtracked her previous “stalker” comment about her “Traitors” nemesis, Colton Underwood, after his resurfaced restraining order scandal led to the reality star receiving death threats.
The “Housewives’ alum took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday and asked her followers to “please be gentle” with Underwood.
“It’s come to my attention that my post that I responded to in my ‘housewife mode’ is taking on a life of its own and it’s causing real problems for Colton,” Rinna began.
“I do not want this because Colton and I are great. He was a great and is a great nemesis for me on the show [and] in the game.”
“If you asked me to be a housewife, I’ll bring it to you, right? That’s what I was doing all in the name of the game. But, just so you know, i am totally great with Colton,” Rinna continued, adding that the two stars have “been texting” each other.
“The fact that the backlash is happening, I feel horrible about because I don’t want to hurt anybody. I’m here to play the game and have fun,” she added.
“We had so much fun. I’ve only always had a great time with him. So, please guys be gentle. It’s a game, it’s a TV show. We’re all doing the best we can. Don’t send death threats or do anything to jeopardize somebody’s family.”
The Bravolebrity closed, insisting once again that her remark was “all part of the game.”
