Andy Cohen Says He Isn’t Ready to Confirm Lisa Rinna’s RHOBH Status: ‘Nothing to Announce About That Right Now’
One of the biggest storylines to come out of BravoCon in relation to RHOBH was fans asking for Cohen to finally fire Rinna.
“Let’s let the reunions play out,” Cohen said when asked about the future of Rinna.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published October 19, he admitted that anything is possible when it comes to Rinna’s future on the show.
“We kinda have those discussions now through the end of, after when the reunions air,” Cohen told the outlet. “I think the key to the success to this thing, that it’s been going for 16 years, is that we take people out, we put people in, and we try to keep it fresh. In terms of specifics of Rinna and anyone else, I think everything is on the table, but nothing to announce about that right now.”
During the RHOBH panel on October 14, Rinna was booed by the fans during her introduction. Shortly after she told Entertainment Tonight what that felt like.
“I loved it so much! Everyone was so worried for me and I was like ‘Why are you worried?’ It’s fabulous,” she told the outlet. “I’m like a wrestler, I’m like WME. I think I made it.”
Cohen also spoke about the booing.
“The truth is, I love that our fans are so passionate,” Cohen told the outlet in the October 19 article. “It’s usually my feeling, a lot of times people come after me on Twitter about something, they had wish I said something that I didn’t say, or something that they are mad at me about. I do find that when I meet people in person, they’re always pretty gracious — and they may say, like, ‘I’m pissed at you at what you did…’ you know? I think that her getting booed was unfortunate, because I, as one of the people who’s a host of this, you want everyone to feel welcome. I thought that she, in her animatable Lisa Rinna style, turned it around. She said it, her whole career she’s never been booed.”
On October 19, a source told Heavy that Rinna and her former publicist Jill Fritzo had had a “mutual parting of ways,” which Rinna’s current rep Jeffrey Chassen told Heavy happened “before Bravo Con or the reunion aired.” He said Rinna “parted ways with her previous publicist amicably.”
Kathy Hilton Says She Won’t Return to the Show if Erika Jayne & Lisa Rinna Are Still on the Cast: ‘I Feel There Are Two Bullies That Intimidate a Lot of the Other Girls’
“I had said that I would only be willing to come back if the cast [was different]. If it was completely the same, absolutely not,” Hilton told TMZ in a video shared on October 21. “I feel there are two bullies that intimidate a lot of the other girls. A couple speak up, but most of them, they’re not being the most authentic self when they’re pushed up to the wall and they’re afraid of what those two bullies [might do] because they’re capable of anything, Erika and Lisa.”
Rinna accused Hilton of having a meltdown in Aspen that included insults of all of the RHOBH cast mates. None of the alleged incident was caught by Bravo cameras.
“It’s a barrage of ‘I can’t f******* can’t believe that I have to be around you f******* peons! I don’t like them. Why do I have to be with them? They need to go away. They’re idiots. I have to do everything around here. This is my show, by the way, I have big deals over at NBC, everyone is protecting me and I will f******* ruin Kyle,'” Rinna said on the show, of what Hilton said when the cameras were down.
Why are they letting Kathy Hilton run Bravo? I think Kathy has some mental issues. She only brings her name to the show, nothing else. Look what she arrived in to the reunion, pajamas and bedroom slippers. She doesn’t care what people think. She is a snob. Kathy Hilton does not like that she had a tantrum in front on someone that would not sweep it under the rug. Kyle has always said that her sister blames her for everything. That says that Kathy doesn’t take any responsibility for any thing she does.
Also, you’re believing what Lisa, and forgetting that there’s other celebrities that have pointed out that Lisa’s not so innocent, look how she’s hit people under the belt, Denise Richards was crushed by her last year, seriously Kyle was right, let’s say Kathy said everything and even more, Kyle is supposed to be Lisa’s friend, why did Lisa feel the need to bring it up, why not just shelve it, I’d never throw any friend under the bus like that, ESPECIALLY on National tv. I used to like Lisa, I thought she was a cool girl, I don’t want to look at her anymore!
*(What Lisa has said)
If I could delete the last above post, I would too many errors, and no way to edit, I do want to add, I disagree with you but respectfully, I understand and respect your opinion as well, I at first stood by Lisa, at the charity event when she had the melt down and yelled at Sumner, I defended her to no end, I felt she was truly having a difficult time after losing her mom, many told me I was nuts, that she was overacting, it was the Aspen trip that I had my epiphany. I no longer think she’s who I thought she was..the finale after the trip was the dig about Paris, that did it for me…
I disagree with the first poster, Kathy is not trying to run anything on the contrary, it’s Lisa that is, she’s acting as if she’s not replaceable, announcing she’s Lisa Effing Rinna, flashbacks of Charlie Sheen stardom gone to their big heads! ( and they’re not winning) Lisa carried it way too far, her over the top unbelievable dramatical fear of Kathy, that she locked her bedroom door puh-leeze, as she’s sitting next to Erika the lady whose heart is as cold as the Iceberg the titanic hit and killed 1,517!
As far as Kathy arriving in slippers Robe big deal, she’s not trying to impress anyone, she’s not on stage 24/7 as long as she’s dressed when she’s on why do you care? 99.9% celebrities arrive at calls that way, very silly to be dressed make-up on before you’re dressed and glam puts your make-up on! I think it was below the belt that Lisa threw the Mother daughter problem that Kathy and Paris had, they reconciled, Kathy sent Paris away because she did LOVE Her Paris has forgiven her, Kathy didn’t know how rough it was on her, but if she had to do it again, I’ll bet she would because look what she has, a beautiful, loving, well adjusted daughter that’s ALIVE, if Lisa Rinna’s mother would have done the same with Rinna’s sister, maybe Lisa’s sister would still be alive, if you ask me Lisa’s the one with the mental issues! Kyle’s lack of understanding comes when she doesn’t understand loyalty to a blood sister, you should have said you’ve never heard your sister speak or swear like that, nor have you ever known her to lie, that’s all she wanted was your support! That’s not asking her to lie either, Kathy honestly believes that Kyle believes that about her big sister she’s not usually foul mouthed nor a liar! …She finds it easy to call Chrystal out on her over the top fibs, but yet leaves her sister out to hang…
And some how, Mauricio slept through the whole thing, in a duplex ?!?! Wow! Thank you,Lesa. Trying not to leave out one detail.
Why take Lisa out? Kathy Hilton is the worst liar ever. She’s full of shit when she was asked about things about her relationship with Kyle.
Erika verbally attacked a minor, Garcelle’s son. Made disgusting, sexual comments about Denise’s daughter. Asked Oliver if he and his “baby mama” wanted to have a threesome. Threatened Sutton and her children etc……
Rinna attacked Sutton countless times. Had countless “mental breakdowns,” or were they “psychotic breaks?” Her daughters have mental issues, so, using those terms is beyond disgusting and pathetic. THEN, said she would get CANCER if she didn’t talk about it!
I’m sorry, what else could fit on your table, Andy?
Lisa Rhinna would be no great loss
Not a big Rinna fan, however, what Kathy did at the club should tell everyone that she was having a meltdown. If she was saying all the things Rinna said she did, then wouldn’t the driver of said van have heard it? I would love to know what he heard in that van! Kathy consistently picks at Kyle for not coming to her defense. Did you ever think that Kyle doesn’t come to her defense because she knows Kathy is a liar. Three times I heard Kathy say, Kyle didn’t say two words about her complaints, albeit was under her breath when she thought no one would hear her, however, it is there on tape. No matter what happens, the clear bully is Kathy Hilton. She never lets up on Kyle.
Did no one notice how absolutely pissed Kathy got over the vodka? I think that was just the tip of the ice berg. I absolutely believe she had a nasty meltdown and said horrible things but thinks (or does) have enough power to make it all go away. I’m glad Rinna stood up for herself and Erika too. None of those women are perfect but they are fun to watch. I think Kathy Hilton is afraid her reputation of perfection (if you can call it that- watch Paris’ specials) was about to be ruined. And she started to back track one million percent. Fans can be team Kathy all they want but let’s call it what it was. Look at the seething anger she had over the vodka….vodka! Then to get told to go back to LA….did he not know he was talking to Kathy Hilton!!!!!!
Please don’t fire Rinna. The show needs her. To me, she is an asset to the show. Fire Sutton or Gisele if someone has to go.
Don’t fire Rinna. You still have bully and terrorist Teresa Guidice on the show and she is the worst of the worst. Kathy Hilton was not right for the show from the beginning. She has had issues with her sisters and I think she is very jealous of Kyle and Mauricio. She thinks she is better than all of them. Believe me Rinna is the least of your worries. Now Erika on the other needs to go and fast. The whole situation with her husband and denying that she knew nothing is BS. She has the audacity to even wear the blood money earings on the show. WTH!!! She is mean and arrogant!!
Leave Rinna alone you have other housewifes that are much worse and should go!!!
