‘I Hated This Year’: Lisa Rinna Gives Candid Interview About Her Shocking Departure From RHOBH

Lisa Rinna has opened up about her shocking departure from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, speaking her truth to Interview.

The veteran actress, 59, who shocked Housewives Universe earlier this month when she announced her departure from RHOBH after eight seasons, gave an extremely candid interview to journalist Mel Ottenberg, which was published on Friday.

Rinna revealed her raw feelings behind the tumultuous season that she “hated” and opened up about an alleged “smear campaign” against her online.

From the death of her beloved mother Lois to her fierce war with Kathy Hilton, Rinna acknowledged that she “had a rough year.”

The Bravo icon began her candid interview by noting that she had just come out of ‘pilates, after therapy.’

“The story just wasn’t told in the two aspects that I would have liked,” Lisa lamented. “It was unfortunate that there were no cameras in Aspen. It was something that happened so spontaneously.

Referring to Kathy Hilton’s alleged collapse during a cast trip to Aspen, the reality TV flamethrower growled, “At the time, I didn’t think to turn on my voice memos.” When someone is having a nuclear meltdown, you don’t think, ‘Oh, I should be filming this.’ ‘
