Lisa Rinna Owns Her Social Media Bad Behavior: ‘I’ve Just Been a Nightmare, I Know It!’
Lisa Rinna copped to her poor social media behavior during a Wednesday appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star opened up about her online antics, admitting that she knew she was in the wrong.
“I’m such a freaking mess, I’m a freaking mess,” the 59-year-old reality star told host, Andy Cohen. “You can call me what you want!”
“A disaster,” the Bravo executive producer agreed. “A double disaster.”
“Call me that! I am! It’s true,” she said. “Andy, I’ve just been a nightmare right now, that’s all I can tell you. I have been a flipping nightmare. I know it, I acknowledge it, I have tried to fix it as much as I can. I am fully aware. I’m self-aware that I’m a mess right now, I’m just a mess. So let’s hope it gets better.”
Andy appeared to appreciate Rinna’s response but continued to press the reality star.
“Let’s hope,” he said, adding—“You make so much trouble for yourself… You know what the funny thing is? It’s all in your hands. It’s all in your control.”
“I know,” Rinna agreed.

Last month, Rinna was hit by backlash after she made a comment about the cast of The Real Housewives of Dubai on her Instagram Stories. The reality star took to her IG Stories to address certain cast conflicts unfolding on RHOBH. Rinna clashed with Garcelle Beauvais, the show’s first and only black cast member, after she called newcomer, Diana Jenkins, “uneducated” over a comment she made to a black Instagram content creator.
“We fight on our show if we fight with Garcelle [Beauvais] we are all of a sudden called a racist. That’s bulls***. I will not accept that. I will express myself when and how I want and I am not afraid of any of you hoes,” Rinna wrote.
“And if you are just so triggered by our show and a lot of you p****** are Go watch Dubai,” the Bravo star added.
Rinna’s comments did not go unnoticed, and RHODubai cast members were soon putting their fellow “Housewife” on blast.
Rinna did not back down from the social media drama, reacting to the backlash in another post on her IG Stories.
“My advice to you,” Rinna quipped. “You need to bring the kind of energy you just brought to me, to your show. Cheers!”
Rinna later offered a weak apology for the Instagram tirade, blaming her behavior on her grief following the death of her mother, Lois Rinna, who passed away last year.
“I have had a really rough time of it I think you’ve seen how hard this has hit me,” she wrote. “I’m sorry if I’ve raged on you, about you — it really has nothing to do with any of you.”
“I never thought I would feel this way. I really thought grief would be about sadness and pain but it’s so much more,” she explained. “I am really struggling, I just never thought it would feel like this but here it is. Losing my Mom has really hit me hard. Thank you for your patience with me I know it’s not easy to have warm fuzzies for me right now but I’ll get through this and hopefully come out the other side stronger and better. Thank you for your support and your love. I so so appreciate it. 🙏🏻❤️🕊🕊🕊”
Rinna was also embroiled in drama involving a marketing manager who accused her of hiring him to spread negative stories about her co-star, Kathy Hilton. Rinna has denied the claim.
