The dispute erupted when Stracke, 51, claimed he never received a thank you for inviting Rinna and Harry Hamlin to the 2019 Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Party, but Rinna said she and Hamlin got their own tickets to the party.
PageSix heard Hamlin say during the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday that Rinna’I could still be on the show if the fight hadn’t happened.’
He said: ‘Lisa had all the receipts for that night, but they never showed the receipts for the meeting.
‘She could still be on the show if Sutton hadn’t said that. She may still be on the show, but the public believed Sutton.

OMG: Now Hamlin, 71, claims that the dispute between his wife and Sutton Stracke over tickets to Elton John’s Oscars in 2021, and the viewers siding with Stracke, was the final nail in the coffin from Rinna’s time on the show.
‘All good things come to an end. She took it as far as she could. Now I’m working like crazy so she doesn’t have to work.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Rinna and Bravo for comment. Stracke’s representative declined to comment with Dailymail.com.
The dispute broke out when Stracke alleged that he invited the pair to the party “a few years ago” during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in 2021, but Lisa responded quickly enough for his response to make its way onto the show.
‘We didn’t come as your guests @suttonstrake. @eltonjohn invited us to his event, you asked us to sit at your table. So we did. Let’s get that straight,” Lisa responded on her Instagram Stories.
In a follow-up post, Rinna said she had been going to the party “for years” and recalled attending the party when she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
Stracke spilled the alleged tea after a fan asked if Rinna was ‘reaching’ for asking Garcelle Beauvais to thank her for her sauce.
“A few years ago, this is really bad,” Sutton said in response to the question. ‘It’s ok, I’ll do it. A few years ago Harry and Lisa came, I invited them to the Elton John gala and they came with me as guests. I never got a thank you,’ Stracke claimed.

After Lisa fired back on Instagram, Andy asked Sutton about Rinna’s response.
“Okay, you see, we’re going to have a word on this,” Sutton said.
Andy added that Sutton confessed to him during the commercial break that the gala tickets were priced at $10,000 each.
“I bought them for them,” Sutton said, agreeing with Andy that he actually ended up buying a table.
“Maybe they don’t know that I actually bought those tickets for them,” added the RHOBH star. ‘So maybe that’s a miscommunication.’
Confirming her departure from the show in January 2023, Rinna said, “This is the longest job I’ve had in my 35-year career and I’m grateful to everyone at Bravo and everyone involved with the series,” she said. People in a sentence.
She continued: “It’s been a fun run of eight years and I’m excited for what’s to come!”
The outlet reported that “she and Bravo mutually decided that she would not be returning to RHOBH” after her contract expired last season.

‘Dancing the night away’: In a follow-up post, Rinna said she had been going to the party ‘for years’ and recalled attending the party while she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
In October, she was booed at BravoCon following backlash from fans who said she would “get cancer” if she didn’t expose Hilton’s “vile” comments about the show’s finale.
Asked by DailyMail.com about her reaction to those calling for her sacking, the mother-of-two said she didn’t know what to think, calling herself a ‘rock star’.
“We are the number one program on cable and television… That’s all I have to say,” he concluded.
At the time, Lisa was criticized by cancer survivors and doctors after she used the disease as an excuse to reveal Hilton’s personal secrets.
Her feud with Hilton apparently began when Rinna accused Hilton of attacking her sister Kyle Richards during a “psychotic break.”
During the three-part RHOBH reunion, which aired on October 12, Hilton called Rina “the biggest stalker in Hollywood.”
She previously got into a big fight with Hilton’s sister, Kim Richards, over dinner, which resulted in her throwing a glass of wine at Kim, who threatened to say something nasty about her husband, Harry Hamlin.
Additionally, he accused Yolanda Hadid, who was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, of having Munchausen syndrome on season 5 of RHOBH.
Rinna has since apologized, saying the claim “was so wrong, on every level.”
Great news! While she won’t be returning to RHOBH, which is currently on hiatus after an intense season, Rinna recently revealed that she’s “booked a movie role.”
