Is the former "RHOBH" star planning her next reality show?
In an interview published in CR Fashion Book Issue 22 on March 28, Lisa Rinna addressed speculations that she, Harry Hamlin, and their daughters Amelia and Delilah might star in a new reality show. Lisa has recently left the cast of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” But it’s possible that the ex-soap starlet will return to the reality show circuit soon.
“Never say never,” she simply responded. The former “Melrose Place” star even gave a sneak peek into what her family’s show would be like for viewers. “Drama is what the shows are about!” she told the publication. “If you don’t talk about the elephant in the room, then what are we talking about, my yoga class? What I had for breakfast? No one wants to watch that.” Rinna also stated that she “loves fame” and believes being a celebrity is ‘the greatest thing.’
Just two months ago, Lisa announced her departure from “RHOBH” in January 2023 after eight seasons. “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,” the Bravo alum said in a statement then. “It has been a fun eight-year run, and I am excited for what is to come!”
Her contract expired after the 12th season in 2022. “After taking the time to weigh her current options and business obligations,” Her representatives confirmed that Lisa and Bravo mutually decided she would not return to the show. “It was hard because it’s a job, and it’s hard for me to leave a good paycheck, but I just really knew in my gut that it was time to move on,” she shared of her exit in January.
In an interview published on January 13 by Interview Magazine, she elaborated on her decision to leave the show. Lisa stated that while “filming’s fun” and that viewing the show by fans was “not so fun.” “Filming is one thing. But once you see it, once it goes out into the universe, that I don’t love because it takes on a life of its own,” she continued.
“When filming, you have your drama, but it’s contained in a sense. And once it goes out, you get opinions and all the stuff that goes on; that’s the part I don’t like.” She said she didn’t like how the producers have all the control in the editing room and the actors “do not have any power in the edit whatsoever.
The reality star also spoke about her time on “RHOBH,” admitting that the “smear campaign” she felt she endured during her final year on the show made her “f-king hate” it.
