It’s no secret that Lisa Rinna is the reigning villain on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. While Diana Jenkins has tried to steal Lisa’s crown, it seems the weight of the crown is a little too heavy for the newbie to handle. In the words of LVP, aka Lisa Vanderpump: “The crown is heavy, darlings, so just leave it where it belongs.”

Despite Lisa’s attempts to revamp her image on RHOBH in recent years, her drama with Kathy Hilton, Sutton Stracke, and Garcelle Beauvais reignited her villainous ways. Following Lisa’s season 12 drama with Denise Richards, the former soap star attempted to be on her best behavior and refrain from calling out her fellow co-stars to “own it.” 

In recent months, the actress turned reality TV star has been extra-shady on and off the TV screen. Lisa’s been throwing shade and dropping bombs on social media for months while her villainous behavior plays out on RHOBH.

While Lisa has blamed a lot of her behavior on the grieving process after losing her mom, Lois Rinna, in late 2021, it seems that Lisa may just be being her true self, or she’s playing one hell of a character.

Following this week’s episode of RHOBH, Lisa shared a post from an RHOBH fan saying that she shouldn’t be hated for being a villain because it’s what the show needs.

The post read:

“Hating Lisa Rinna for playing a shady villain is like hating the mailman for delivering the mail. It’s their f*cking job, you morons.”

Naturally, fans had very polarizing reactions to the post.

“Villain is like dr. Heavenly, Brandi, or Ramona, not Lisa Rinna,” one fan said. A second fan added: “I think if she “owns it” that she is the villain instead of playing [the] victim and deflecting all the time, then I would at least respect it. Until then, she is just miserable with no storyline of her own.”

A third fan said, “Disagree. I think she took it to a new level, and it’s not OK,” while a fourth fan added: “but it’s reality TV, not a soap!!! we want genuine reactions.” 

While some fans “agreed,” one pointed out: “I’d agree if she was good at it…”

“NEWS FLASH!!! Lisa Rinna[‘s] delivery IS NOT ENTERTAINING,” a fan quipped.

Another fan noted that nobody’s favorite Housewives are the “nicely nice” ones.

So, let’s hear from you – Do you agree or disagree?!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm on Bravo.

The fallout from last week’s drama between Erika Jayne and her fellow Beverly Hills Housewives played out on Wednesday’s all-new episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The episode started with an emotional Kyle Richards telling Lisa Rinna how upset she was about her fight with Erika and the fact that she left her house after their emotional argument the night before. Turns out that after Rinna and Dorit Kemsley got Erika back to Kyle’s after her epic meltdown, Dorit helped Erika pack all stuff and flee to Diana’s hotel suite, where Dorit was also staying.

The day finally starts with Rinna and Kyle trying to help Kathy navigate the icy streets of Aspen as they head to the downtown area. Sutton, Garcelle, and Crystal grab lattes and croissants and are eventually joined by Rinna and Kyle, who have somehow lost Kathy after she wandered off. Kyle tells the ladies that Erika fled her vacation home to stay with Diana and they are shocked.

On the other hand, Erika, Diana, and Dorit go shopping in a very expensive and exclusive shop for skiing apparel. Erika makes it clear she doesn’t want to be around the other ladies. She says she will fly home commercial if she has to in order to avoid the group. Erika makes it clear she has no intention of attending Kyle’s private shopping party later that day. She also celebrates her legal victory after she was dismissed from the Illinois fraud and embezzlement lawsuit against Tom Girardi.  Oh, yeah, she’s also wearing those million-dollar diamond earrings and is bragging about it.

The other ladies also discuss Erika’s legal news. Crystal notes that this isn’t a legal victory for Erika as the lawsuit isn’t going away; it’s just being re-filed in California. That point doesn’t seem to matter to Erika and some of the other ladies.

The group, minus Erika, Diana, and Dorit, head to Kyle’s cowboy hat shopping party at Kemo Sabe. Things go from fun to odd in the blink of an eye. Kathy somehow got the bar at Kemo Sabe to stock her tequila. She mentions this to Rinna, who then heads to the bar and orders a shot of Kendall Jenner’s 818 tequila. This move pisses Kathy off. Kathy has a low-key meltdown and gets pissed at Kyle for some reason when Kyle was on the other side of the bar when Rinna and Kathy’s exchange occurred. Kathy gets so angry that she leaves and heads back to Kyle’s house. Kyle then gets a call from Dorit, who tells her she’s not coming since she’s having pizza and drinks with Diana and Erika. Kyle is pissed with Dorit for missing her hat party and hangs up on her mid-call.

Rinna then heads over to where Diana, Erika, and Dorit are to try and place peacemaker. She then reports back to Kyle, who is even more upset that the ladies skipped her party for pizza. As the ladies get ready for their last night out in Aspen, Dorit heads to Kyle’s house to patch things up. Kyle is crying and still upset. Dorit tries to tell her that Erika was upset and needed her, but Kyle doesn’t care and screams at Dorit. Rinna asks the ladies to put a pin in their drama as they have to leave for dinner. Mauricio enters the convo and asks Kyle and Dorit to hug it out because they love each other, and their friendship is too important to throw away.

The group heads to dinner minus Kyle, who needed some extra time to compose herself. Erika and Kyle eventually talk it out, but their fight continues to go in circles as Erika can’t seem to see Kyle’s point. Eventually, they hug it out and put the fight behind them. Garcelle notes that Erika is quick to mend her issues with Kyle but is still holding on to her issues with Sutton. Double standard much?!

Crystal then decides to stir the pot by questioning why she’s an asshole whenever she brings up Erika’s legal issues and lack of sympathy for Tom’s alleged victims. Erika fires back that she’s been nothing but there for Crystal since she joined the group, and she and Rinna don’t understand why Crystal isn’t doing the same for Erika. I guess blind loyalty is a must in this group, right?!

Anyway, the group heads to the private Caribou Club that Kyle is a member of. Kathy is concerned that she won’t get in because she’s underdressed. Hours later, Rinna sends texts to Erika that she was in the sprinter van with Kathy as she had a full-on meltdown. Rinna says Kathy was crying, screaming, and saying nasty things about Kyle. She was so scared she locked herself in her room at Kyle’s Aspen house.

Firing back!

Erika Jayne has FINALLY responded to Oscar award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence calling her “evil.”

“My biggest problem with this season [is] that it’s just been boring,” Jennifer said on September 10 during an interview with Variety.  “And I think that Erika is evil. I would go as far as to say she needs a publicist ASAP.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where she had a not-so-pretty response to Jennifer’s diss.

“It’s easy to bale people when they are at their absolute lowest going through something in real time on television,” Erika told Andy Cohen.

She continued, “But any time that she would like to come on down and mix it up with us, I’m sure that we could unmask the ugly parts of her personality as well.”

Not everyone is rallying behind Diana Jenkins following her $100k donation to the victims of the 2018 Lion Air plane crash.

The lawyer suing Tom Girardi and Erika Jayne, on behalf of the families who lost loved ones in the 2018 Lion Air 610 plane crash, thinks Diana’s recent press release about her donation was completely inappropriate.

Jay Edelson tells Page Six that while the donation was “well-intended,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie should have done the research before announcing the donation and soliciting further donations from Bravo fans via a press release.

“While Ms. Jenkins may be well-intentioned, we do not believe that issuing a press release and soliciting donations from the public without having done the necessary legwork is an appropriate way to proceed,” Edelson explains. “That being said, we hope that this is not a publicity stunt and will reserve judgment until we hear directly from her.”

Back in August, Edelson’s law firm delivered $2 million to give families that were allegedly scammed out of settlement money by Tom and his Girardi & Keese law firm.

“As we previously announced, we have compensated the victims and are involved in ongoing litigation with those we believe were involved in the Girardi Ponzi scheme to both recoup our money and hopefully get additional damages for the Lion Air clients,” Edelson notes. “To the extent there are legitimate efforts made to provide donations [by Jenkins], 100% percent will go directly to the victims.”

Edelson adds that Diana has not reached out to his Chicago-based law firm for help in locating any of the Lion Air plane crash victims. The class action lawyer represented five families that were victims of Tom’s alleged crimes, but there were 184 total victims in the Lion Air plane crash.

“Ms. Jenkins never reached out to our firm and, other than what we have seen in the press, we know nothing about her claimed plans to donate money to the victims of this horrible tragedy,” Edelson said.

A rep for the Bravo star tells Page Six that Diana made her donation because she “feels badly for the families of all 189 people who lost their lives and is taking action to provide support to them.”

“This has nothing to do with any past or ongoing litigation. It is simply a way for Ms. Jenkins, Sunela Foundation, and its nonprofit partner GVNG to support the victims’ families,” the rep continues, noting that Diana is simply raising funds out of “genuine compassion for the victims.”

As for Diana contacting Edelson to locate victims of the Lion Air plane crash, her rep says no decision has been made to date. Instead, they are working with the established digital nonprofit GVNG.

“All funds raised for the victims of Flight 610 will be collected, safeguarded, and dispersed by GVNG to immediate family members of the 189 people who lost their lives,” the rep adds. “Details about how family members can apply for this support from GVNG will be released in the coming months.”

The Sunela Foundation has raised a total of $100,153.87 as of Wednesday.

More details!

Diana Jenkins is giving Bravo insight into her $100k donation to the victims of the 2018 Lion Air plane crash.

On Tuesday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared more details about her surprising donation via Instagram.

“Hearing about ALL the people who lost their lives on Lion Air Flight 610 weighed heavily on my heart during the filming of RHOBH and caused me to want to do something to support the families of the 189 victims,” Diana shared.

“This has nothing to do with any past or ongoing litigation. It is simply a way for me, Sunela Foundation, and our nonprofit partner GVNG to support the victims’ families. All funds raised will be collected, safeguarded, and dispersed by GVNG to immediate family members of those who died,” she continued.

Diana then explained how the family members of victims can receive money from her foundation.

“Details about how family members can apply for this support from GVNG will be released in the coming months. Learn more about the Lion Air Flight 610 Victims’ Project at SunelaFoundation.org,” she concluded.

A post shared by Sanela Diana Jenkins (@sdjneuro)

As we previously reported, last week, the Bravo newbie vowed to donate $100k to the victims of the 2018 Lion Air plane crash after claiming she was “not aware” of the incident until she joined RHOBH and it “became a topic of conversation.”

Diana’s surprising donation is reportedly a dig at the RHOBH cast and hasn’t affected her friendship with Erika Jayne.

Erika’s estranged husband, Tom Girardi, was one of the lawyers representing the family members of the Lion Air crash victims. He allegedly embezzled millions of settlement funds intended for the families of the victims.

“This isn’t a dig at Erika,” a source close to the RHOBH newbie previously told Page Six. “It’s actually meant to send a message to the cast members who have expressed support for Tom’s alleged victims but never seem to do anything to help them.”

“Diana now wonders, ‘Well, if you feel so bad for the victims, what are you doing to help?’” the source added. “If anybody’s speculating that this donation affects Diana’s friendship with Erika. It doesn’t.”

Kyle Richards is just as confused as Bravo fans when it comes to Erika Jayne’s inability to acknowledge the alleged victims of her estranged husband, Tom Girardi.

During last week’s episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika went off the rails when Crystal Minkoff and Garcelle Beauvais questioned why she isn’t doing everything to make sure Tom’s victims get every penny they deserve.

Erika made it clear that she’s not sure there are any actual victims and questioned that it’s still unclear if they were or weren’t paid. The Pretty Mess singer made it clear that she’s intent on letting the legal process play out.

“I just don’t understand not being able to say, ‘Yes, there are victims. I feel terrible about the victims. They should all be paid and taken care of. I haven’t personally done anything, but I acknowledge that these victims exist. That’s the part that I struggle with, not understanding why she can’t say that,” Kyle admitted on the RHOBH: After Show.

Kyle noted that Erika “was not in the place to have a calm conversation” because she was drinking and on medication, which is why she became so “aggressive.” 

“She feels like she’s in the fight of her life, and she doesn’t like to feel like these women that she spends all this time with are not backing her. But it’s just hard sometimes. It’s very hard because it’s all very confusing, and as much as we want to, there are just certain things you’re like, ‘This just doesn’t make any sense,’” Kyle explained.
