Denise Richards calls Lisa Rinna ‘cruel’ amid ‘RHOBH’ drama

I’m calling her out! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards addresses his ex-partner Lisa Rinnabehavior in Season 12 of the Bravo series.

“Watched #RHOBH last night,” Wild things star, 51, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, October 20. “While I have empathy for Lisa Rinna who lost her mom, what is her excuse for all the other years on the show for being so cruel and vengeful?”

During the season, Rinna, 59, had outbursts and even attacked her fellow housewives — primarily Sutton Stracke – while mourning the death of her mother, Lois, who passed away in November 2021.
