Lisa Rinna has had several Instagram rants lately as the 12th season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” was wrapping up and in early October she had another message for viewers.
“Why can’t anybody laugh anymore why can’t anybody take a joke y’all are so f****** serious y’all need to go and have fun go dance, go have a cocktail or two or five just do something fun for yourself and laugh at it all,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “We are making a TV show- get over your overly offended selves.”
The text was written above a photo of LeBron James, in reference to another recent Instagram Story in which she said she was the “LeBron James of housewives at this point.” Underneath the photo of the NBA star, Rinna added, “I need a drink and a Xanax and so do all of you.”
RHOBH viewers may remember that the “drink and a Xanax” line was first uttered by Rinna at the season 7 reunion. However, after the RHOBH star shared this Story, many fans called her out for commenting about mixing alcohol and prescription meds, with several pointing out the fact that Rinna’s daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin previously shared that she’d struggled with a Xanax addiction.

Lisa Rinna’s Daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin Opened Up About Her Dependency on Xanax Last Year
Rinna and her husband Harry Hamlin’s daughter, Delilah Belle Hamlin, shared that she had been going through some health issues, including a prescription medication dependency, in November 2021. In a 30-minute Instagram video, the 24-year-old wrote that she’d been prescribed Xanax and her body became “dependent” on the drug.
She also stated that she accidentally overdosed. “I didn’t mean to at all,” Rinna’s daughter shared. “I overdosed on this one medication called Propranolol. I took Benadryl with it and, for some reason, I ended up in the hospital.” Delilah explained that she finally checked in to a treatment facility in Arizona and worked on eliminating her dependency on Xanax.
“I wasn’t like a drug addict, but my body was dependent on [the Xanax] because of how much the doctor had prescribed me,” she said emotionally. The RHOBH star’s daughter shared that while she’d really lowered her Xanax use, she began having other health problems and would be exploring other treatment centers. In February 2022, she announced that she was six months sober, E! News reported.
