What's happened on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills so far
Lisa Rinna’s sudden exit from Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills has been dismissed by co-star Garcelle Beauvais with a savage swipe at her ex co-star’s expense. Rinna, who has been on the show for the past eight seasons, announced in January 2023 that she would not be returning for any more episodes.
With filming now commencing on the upcoming 13th season of the hit Bravo TV show, Beauvais – who joined the show in 2020 – has dismissed claims the hit reality series is any different without fan favourite Rinna.
In fact, the star couldn’t resist taking a swipe at Rinna being there at all.
Joining Sutton Stracke last weekend for the four-year anniversary celebration of her Sutton Concept boutique, Beauvais simply told Page Six: “Is she gone?!”
When the reporter acknowledged the shady moment, she shrugged off any further comment.
Beauvais later stated the Housewives felt “less divided” in Rinna’s absence.
“I think we’re all more open to really forming a friendship and seeing where that goes,” she said. “So, I feel like everybody’s doing that, which is cool.”
“I won’t say there’s no drama!” Beauvais added. “But we’re trying.”
Beauvais has made no secret of the fact there’s no love lost between her and her former co-star, with the former friends frequently clashing on screen and off.
During the season 12 reunion special, Rinna admitted to throwing Beauvais’s memoir, Love Me As I Am, in the trash after receiving a copy.
Beauvais later insinuated she wanted Rinna fired, prompting her frenemy to post an Instagram slamming the comments and stating she would “work with any” of the Housewives.
However, in January Rinna threw in the towel with the series, releasing a statement to confirm she would not be returning for any more episodes.
“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,” she said in a statement.

“It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!” she added.
Throughout her time on the show, Rinna has had several long-standing run-ins and fallouts with castmates, including Stracke and Kathy Hilton.
Things came to a head during season 12 when Stracke and Rinna fell out over tickets to Elton John’s gala in 2021.
Stracke claims she bought Rinna and husband Harry Hamlin tickets to the event but didn’t receive acknowledgment or a thank you, while Rinna insists they landed their own invitation.

At the reunion special, Stracke says the tickets cost $10,000 each, with Rinna continuing to insist she had attended the event “for years” as guests of Sir Elton.
While Stracke later attempted to bury the hatchet, Rinna could not let it lie, and later launched a tirade against her fellow housewife for “humiliating” her and Hamlin.
During the fiery encounter, Rinna declared: “Come after me as much as you f***ing want, but do not bring up my children or my husband, period, end of story.
“And if you do, I will come for you to the end of days. If you come for my husband and kids, I will f***ing hunt you down!”
Rinna’s friendship with Hilton collapsed in August 2022 when she accused her of threatening to ruin sister Kyle Richards’ career during a “psychotic break in Aspen”.
Hilton took exception to the use of the phrase “psychotic break”, and later put the outburst down to lashing out in grief over a friend’s terminal cancer.
Rinna refused to accept the apology, causing even more of a fray.
By the reunion, Hilton declared Rinna “the biggest bully in Hollywood”.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available on HayU and BravoTV.
