In “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 12, episode 19, Lisa Rinna claimed that Kathy Hilton acted erratically after they left an Aspen nightclub. The “Melrose Place” star asserted that the 63-year-old proceeded to speak negatively about her co-stars, including her sister Kyle Richards.
“She’s jumping up and down, breaking her glasses, she’s pounding the walls, and she’s screaming, she made Kyle, Kathy’s responsible for Kyle. She said, ‘I will destroy Kyle and her family, if it’s the last thing I ever do,’” stated Rinna during a confessional interview.
In season 12, episode 20, Hilton visited Richards to apologize to her. Rinna later joined the sisters at Richards’ home. When Hilton asserted that she does not usually have a temper, Rinna replied that she had been “cruel” while in Aspen.
“I feel like if we are really going to talk about this, you are going to have to take responsibility for some of the things that you’ve said. You said somethings about everybody, not just Kyle, like big f***** things. I don’t want to say you need help Kathy, but I think you need some help,” said the mother of two.
During the conversation, Hilton noted that she believed the “Days of Our Lives” star “can be very unkind too,” which upset Rinna.
“Oh, we’re going to go there,” replied the 59-year-old.

Bravo Fans Shared Their Thoughts About the Scene

Several fans shared their thoughts about the RHOBH season 12, episode 20 scene. Quite a few Bravo viewers criticized Rinna’s comments to Hilton.
“Lisa’s voice in this scene makes my skin crawl. It’s so fake and contrived. This storyline is ridiculous and BH continues to act like the audience is too stupid to see through this b*****,” wrote a commenter.
“It’s very manipulative. It’s part trying to pretend to be a therapist and part trying to appear ‘calm’ in case someone loses their cool. So then if the person you’re speaking with gets heated you can say, ‘why are you raising your voice? I’m being verryyyy calmmmm,’” added another person.
“I hope Lisa gets fired for this insanely awful act of self production. This storyline is unwatchable,” shared a different Bravo viewer.
“Lisa Rinna has such an unhealthy obsession with Kyle’s relationship with her sisters. It’s deeply disturbing how she constantly inserts herself and tries to put a wedge. Also anyone that has a sister will say that listen losing it on your sister and calling her a b**** is not that big of a deal,” stated an RHOBH fan.
“I HATE Rinna’s whispery soft voice. It’s so phony to me and she’s only doing it to create a ‘moment’. Love Kathy’s face, you can tell she’s seeing right through it. I know Kathy is in no way shape or form an innocent fawn but holy mother of god, I genuinely LOATHE Rinna,” shared a Reddit user.
“If this is between the Richards why is rinna there? Can someone fire her she’s aggravating to watch,” wrote a commenter.
“Rinna is SUCH a clown. She always thinks she’s doing something when, in fact, she gives us nothingggg,” asserted a social media user.
“Rinna has no credibility,” chimed in an eighth Reddit user.

During a September 2022 episode of the “RHOBH After Show,” Richards revealed she felt uncomfortable while Hilton was apologizing to her in RHOBH season 12, episode 20. She also suggested that she had requested her eldest sister to appear in the Bravo series.
“I never imagined being in this situation with my sister Kathy when she joined the show, I was the one saying my sister Kathy should come on the show, she’s funny, we’ve made up, I think it could be great. To me, it’s something that we could do together and like bond over,” explained the reality television personality. “And now, here I am in this situation where my sister is coming to my house and apologizing to me. I think even more so because I know her so well, I know how uncomfortable she is too. So I get like second-hand stress.”

First, Lisa Rinna is a duplicitous annoyance. It’s good to be the villain – I liked that crazy Leeanne Locken on Dallas – but it is bad to be a secretive, mean spirited, hypocritical LIAR. That cannot be forgiven. Lisa LIES and makes up drama. Exhibit #1 – Harry wants a thank you for his pasta sauce. That nonsense – which was a LIE – brought on the 10,000% justified comment from Sutton that Lisa never thanked her for Elton John tickets. Perfect equivalency. Lisas response? Lisa LIED about it, then when the proof came out, cried and said it was mean to tell the truth about her. Like when Kim gave back the bunny and she cried. “I have been viciously attacking your alcoholism you did not want discussed publicly, and I’ve threatened you with violence, but I am shocked and hurt you won’t accept this baby gift.” Yeah, right. Exhibit #2. “I am soo hurt and upset by Sutton [pointing out my hypocrisy and that I lied, again] – BUT – whoo hoo! I’m not mad at all! I just think it’s fun to mess with her!” But uh-oh I misread the room and went to far with Sutton, better start crying and say I’m sad my mom died. Which is a perfect excuse for loud, crazy, eratic , screaming behavior – but not for Kathy whose friend is dying.
Exhibit #3 Own it! Just own it! Rinna loves to tell everyone to own it, yet she owns nothing. That is why no one likes you Rinna. And you are not good at being a villain because you are so obvious in your skanky behavior. Second, Kyle. Kyle you are truly disgusting. Anything for a buck Kyle. Kyle was poor, living off the gravy of the Hiltons, who gave her husband a job. Kim was married to a very rich man with hundreds of millions of dollars, divorced, and married an honest to goodness billionaire, who still sends hefty support payments to this day. “GRRRR” says Kyle. “Me very jealous of rich sisters!” Maurice (I love the way Kim always calls him ‘Maurice” like he used to be called, until he tried to be cool and go by ‘Mauricio’) stabs Rick Hilton in the back – not to start his own business, but to bet the pawn of Rick’s competitors and steal Ricks agents and business. Nice. Classy. Kyle, like Meghan Markle, is a narcissist and wants to bring her sisters down, because they really hurt her feelings! She does something terrible – steals a house, calls you out for being an alcoholic on tv – and then cries her sisters are soooo mean to her for being upset. She is a spoiled selfish conceited brat. Maurice will leave her, and the financial house of cards will tumble. Mortgaged to the hilt, she’ll be asking Erika for her realtor for a crappy little condo. Kyle took a shot at Kathy and missed. No more Hilton or Rothschild fancy parties for you Kyle. And that is what Kyle is really upset about. And her hook nose.
