Lisa Rinna Threatens Former BLACK Employee With A Gun!
Lisa Rinna Threatens Former BLACK Employee With A Gun!
Lisa Rinna may have loss her mind for real this time!
On Sunday, October 23, Lisa Rinna posted the following photo of her herself holding a semi automatic gun with the caption, “When I find me patrick s💋💄.” The now-deleted Instagram Story set social media ablaze with many calling for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s firing.
As quick as the disturbing photo was posted, it was deleted after many fans called out the soap actress. The photo was taken on the set of “Days of Our Lives,” featured Rinna smiling while holding a gun in her hand.
The mention of “patrick” in Rinna’s caption references Patrick Somers, who is Rinna’s former marketing manager. Somers had previously claimed that he and Rinna concocted her current feud with Kathy Hilton.
“What was put in front of you was all manufactured in hopes of pushing [Rinna’s] storyline for next season,” Somers alleged on Instagram, refuting previous claims that Kathy Hilton paid him to go after Rinna on social media.
Lisa Rinna’s publicist spoke to the Heavy after the gun photo made its rounds on social media, and claims the photo was doctored and posted without their consent.
“That photo was posted over a year ago from the set of ‘Days of Our Lives’. It was doctored and reposted without our consent and completely out of context,” Jeffrey Chassen of Vision PR told Heavy exclusively.
Patrick Somers addressed the threat on Instagram, calling the post “terrifying.”
“Yes. I have absolutely seen Lisa Rinna’s story about me. It’s concerning, alarming, and terrifying. I have deleted all of my stories about the situation as I will not share pure hate on my platform. I think everyone for their support and if it truly matters to you, you will speak up and use your voice,” Somers wrote.
Rinna’s rep denies the threat, “no one was threatened,” and asserts he doesn’t know Patrick.
“I have no idea who this person is and we’re not interested in partaking in his childish nonsense. He has been harassing Lisa for months,” Chassen said. “We won’t give this person anymore attention.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans are outraged by Rinna’s latest stunt and have reached out to her boss, Andy Cohen, and NBC, demanding they take action immediately.
One person tweeted, “I’m counting to @andy @BravoTV issuing a statement stating they’re firing Lisa Rinna. She mocked Kathy with Paris’ rape and now Gun violence should be the last straw!!!! #RHOBH”
A second wrote, “So apparently Lisa Rinna threatened a young black boy on IG by posting herself holding a gun and saying she’s looking for him. @BravoTV has yet to say anything about this. I wonder if this young man was white or Jewish – would it then be deemed serious? #RHOBH”
Someone else pointed out, “GM @BravoTV @Andy @nbc Still no statement denouncing Lisa Rinna’s (latest) online bullying- including the sexual assault of a child and threat of gun violence? Should we interpret your silence as approval of this despicable behavior? She needs to be ostracized from the network.”
A fan noted, “Threatening to use a gun on Patrick. This is some serious legal stuff. Illegal.”
Another concerned person posted, “@NBCUniversal @Andy @BravoTV with gun violence surging, this is ok? Silly reality TV stunt? You created this monster. Don’t clutch your pearls if Lisa’s crazy stans actually do something. You are to blame for things going off the rails like this.”
An observer pleaded, “Good night twitter world. And @NBC @Andy @BravoTVRHOBH you need to fire @lisarinna for promoting gun violence. Her attention seeking behavior has crossed the line of morality and safety. #RHOBH”
Rinna commented on her possible exit from the Bravo reality series while speaking to US Weekly at BravoCon 2022.
“Well, [a departure] may happen, but you won’t put me on pause. It would be a mutual decision,” Rinna added. “You know what I mean? Like, you know, it, life happens. Whatever is meant to be, will be. And that’s how I always look at things.”
