Lisa Rinna is on good terms with some of her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars, but others … not so much.
Rinna, 62, reflected on her Bravo days in her You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It memoir but made one thing very clear: A return to RHOBH is not on the horizon.
“That is out of the question. I’m done with that,” Rinna told Us Weekly exclusively while discussing the book, which hit shelves on Tuesday, February 24. “I moved on from that chapter in my life, but it did heal me.”
Rinna confirmed that she’s “never looked back” after leaving RHOBH following season 12 in 2022.
“I probably should have gone a little sooner. You can always look back and be like, ‘I probably should have gone a year later, a year earlier.’ But no, it happens the way it happens,” she explained. “Your path unfolds the way it’s supposed to. Everything happens for a reason, and I’m grateful for every experience that I’ve had, because doing Housewives made me who I am today.”

Denise Richards
Rinna wrote that she and Richards experienced the death of a “very close friend,” which briefly brought them together again.
“We actually got on a call together, and it was a hopeful moment. Then a couple of days later, we got into it again about something stupid,” Rinna wrote. “She took my olive branch and stuck it back in my eye. I haven’t communicated with her since. You’d have to ask her why she would do such a thing.”
