Kathy Hilton Regrets Apologizing To Kyle Richards Over Aspen Blowout!
Kathy Hilton is not backing down after calling her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star, Lisa Rinna, “a bully” in the currently unfolding Season 12 reunion series. Kathy fired the shot after Rinna stirred up drama over her alleged vacation “meltdown” in Aspen.
The hotel heiress, who appeared at BravoCon over the weekend, only doubled down on her comments during an interview with Extra.
“She is a bully. She bullied everybody, and I think that is just the worst,” the 63-year-old socialite repeated to the outlet Friday.
She added that she “will not let that go.”
Kathy said that she “certainly didn’t say” the hurtful remarks Rinna alleged, during the off-camera incident.
Fan chatter exploded after Kathy called Rinna the “biggest bully in Hollywood” in the Season 12 reunion teaser. The 59-year-old actress previously alleged that Kathy had a “psychotic break” after leaving an Aspen nightclub. Rinna claimed that Kathy said she would “ruin” and “destroy” her sister, Kyle Richards, and her family. Kathy also slammed co-stars, Crystal Kung Minkoff and Sutton Stracke, as “pieces of s**t” who should be axed from the show, according to Rinna.
The popular RHOBH “friend” made an appearance at the cast finale party after returning from Aspen, much to Rinna’s surprise.
Kathy suggested that Rinna was spinning the narrative to save her job in the reunion preview.
“Maybe you wanted it on camera because your contract was coming up,” Kathy said.
“You fight with everybody. What you did to my sister, and you drove Lisa Vanderpump off the show? I mean, the list can go on and on,” she claimed. “You are the biggest bully in Hollywood, and everyone knows it.”
Rinna claimed that she was “f–king abused by Kathy Hilton” during the socialite’s alleged tantrum, but it appears that fans attending the Bravo event aren’t buying the reality star’s story.
The former soap opera actress was booed by fans as she walked on the BravoCon stage Friday, in an unscheduled appearance. Rinna took the diss in stride by laughing and flipping off the crowd, before sitting down.
Bravo boss, Andy Cohen, also took heat from fans after he seemingly cosigned Rinna crowing over Kathy’s “biggest bully in Hollywood” moniker.
Last week, Rinna posted a caricature of herself as a red M&M, echoing Kathy when she captioned the Instagram post — “The biggest bully in Hollywood, And everyone knows it.”
While Erika Jayne reacted with a thinking face emoji, Andy Cohen applauded Rinna’s caption in the comment section with a series of clapping hands. The Bravo executive later deleted his comment.
He later took to Twitter to respond to the intense online feedback over his comment, cosigning a fan who tweeted—”I think he doesn’t take everything so deep as we do. He’s amused by the drama and doesn’t take sides, just observes and allows himself to be entertained by it all.”
The viewer added—“Rinna joking herself about being a bully amused him and he applauded the balls of it. I don’t think it’s that deep.”
Cohen implied that he was staying neutral when he jumped into the convo to tweet—”You nailed it man.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion continues on Wednesday at 8 pm, ET, on Bravo.
