After leaving the series in 2022 following an eight-season run, Rinna is speaking candidly about her time on RHOBH and its current state. Despite her departure, it seems she hasn’t shied away from sharing her opinions, especially regarding the franchise’s future.
Lisa Rinna’s Bold “Sinking Ship” Comments
Lisa Rinna was a prominent figure on RHOBH from Season 5 through Season 12. Throughout her tenure, she was known for her unapologetic personality and her penchant for stirring drama.
From accusing Yolanda Hadid of faking an illness to calling out Denise Richards for trying to silence others, Rinna never hesitated to get involved in controversial moments. These actions eventually earned her the title of the show’s villain, a label she embraced.
Despite these fiery moments, Rinna brought significant attention to the series. However, when it came time to leave, she did so, remarking that the show was no longer the same.
In an interview on That’s a Gay A** Podcast, Rinna boldly declared that RHOBH was like the “Titanic,” a sinking ship, and she wasn’t wrong in saying it. “We all know it’s the f*cking Titanic,” she remarked, implying that Bravo is desperately looking for ways to salvage the franchise.

Andy Cohen’s Response
The statement didn’t go unnoticed, and RHOBH executive producer Andy Cohen confronted Rinna on his radio show.
Cohen, who is still deeply involved with the franchise, questioned her about why she was so vocal about the show’s decline. “Why are you saying that the show is the Titanic?” Cohen asked, challenging Rinna’s comments.
Rinna, ever the candid personality, didn’t back down, replying with her usual bluntness. She apologized for making Cohen feel bad but didn’t regret her words. “I put my foot in my mouth,” she admitted.
However, she reiterated that her statement about the show being a sinking ship was not a mistake—she still believed it. “I misused my words… That show’s gonna go on and on,” she clarified, still firm in her stance.

The Impact of Rinna’s Departure
Though Rinna has distanced herself from RHOBH, her remarks have resonated with many. Several fans and former castmates have weighed in, with Brandi Glanville, another alum of the show, agreeing with Rinna’s assessment of the show’s decline.
Glanville shared that the format of the show had become stale, constantly pitting women against each other in repetitive storylines. Glanville’s comments only added fuel to the fire regarding RHOBH’s diminishing appeal.
Rinna’s remarks also sparked rumors that Bravo might be looking to reintroduce former cast members like Lisa Vanderpump to reignite interest in the series.
During her podcast appearance, Rinna mentioned that producers were likely considering this, but she made it clear that she wasn’t coming back. As for the future of the show, Rinna suggested that Bravo could continue the franchise indefinitely, even if the current format wasn’t working.
A New Beginning: Rinna’s Podcast
Amid the controversy, Rinna is now focusing on new ventures, including her upcoming podcast, Let’s Not Talk About the Husband, which will debut on February 14.
In the trailer for the podcast, Rinna, alongside her husband Harry Hamlin, discussed their lives, family, and the drama that unfolded on RHOBH. In one particularly revealing moment, Rinna addressed her role as the show’s villain, acknowledging that some co-stars may have felt wronged by her actions.
Fans of RHOBH have had mixed reactions to the announcement of Rinna’s podcast. While some expressed excitement for her new project, others feel that the Bravoverse is already flooded with too many podcasts.
Despite the mixed reception, Rinna remains confident that her podcast will resonate with listeners, especially those eager to hear more about her time on RHOBH.
