Lisa Rinna has made headlines with the release of her explosive memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” which hit bookstores on Tuesday. In her candid account, the 62-year-old “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star shares intimate stories that touch upon her career, personal life, and dramatic moments from the reality television world.
In a post on Instagram, Rinna expressed her excitement about the book’s launch, promising her followers that there were no topics too controversial or off-limits. As she promotes the memoir, she continues to reveal shocking anecdotes, further capturing public attention.
One of the standout moments from the memoir includes her criticism of Bravo executive Andy Cohen, who she alleges published their private text messages regarding her departure from “RHOBH” in his own book. Rinna did not hold back in her anger, stating that she was so incensed by the move that she “gleefully” burned his book in her fireplace.
Reflecting on her past on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” Rinna also discusses the difficult experience of working with co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly, describing him as a “biggest bully in Hollywood” and detailing manipulative behaviors that made her on-set experience challenging.
The memoir also addresses persistent rumors about her husband, Harry Hamlin, and his sexuality, firmly asserting that he is heterosexual. Rinna clarifies that speculation arose after Hamlin’s role as a gay character in the 1982 film “Making Love,” which she believes negatively affected his career for years.
In a more personal revelation, Rinna shares a harrowing story about her mother’s survival from an attempted murder by the notorious “Trailside Killer,” David Carpenter, before her birth, underlining a traumatic family history.
Aside from personal matters, Rinna took shots at several fellow Housewives, branding Garcelle Beauvais as “fake” and labeling Denise Richards and Sutton Stracke as “narcissists.” The fallout from these remarks is yet to be seen, as responses from those mentioned have not been made public.
Adding to the intrigue, Rinna revealed during a recent press tour that her daughters, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray Hamlin, caught the attention of A-list actors Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio, although she clarified that there was no romantic involvement.
Rinna also discussed a troubling incident where she believes she was roofied at a party, highlighting the health dangers she faced that night, which included fentanyl and other substances in her system. She expressed gratitude that her husband was present to assist her.
Throughout her memoir and press appearances, Rinna exhibits a fearless attitude in tackling both her personal and professional challenges, revealing the complexity behind her glamorous exterior. As her career continues to evolve, it’s evident that Rinna is unafraid to speak her truth, making her a compelling figure in the reality television landscape.
