The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna knows that she is a mess on social media, and she recently owned it while appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. The former soap actress has faced intense criticism over her on-screen and off-screen antics. Once a fan-favorite, Lisa has found herself as the villain, and her popularity has dwindled as she continues to clash with many of her castmates.
Since becoming a housewife, Lisa has seen the highs and lows of reality TV. The actress became iconic for her many feuds throughout the series, from her famous Amsterdam showdown against Kim Richards to her over-the-top drama with her friend of 20 years, Denise Richards. Fan backlash has been in overdrive against Lisa as well as her close friends on the show, Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley. Although viewers are used to the spectacle of the show, Lisa's off-screen social media presence has left many confused, with some demanding that she be fired from the show next season.
During a recent appearance on WWHL, host Andy Cohen finally had to address Lisa's social media posts, after fans accused him of favoritism since he called out The Real Housewives of Potomac star Candice Dillard and her social media. On the late night talk show, Andy asked Lisa about her Instagram. Before he could finish his question, the star was already pleading her case. According to People, Lisa mentioned that she knows that she has been a nightmare. "I'm such a freaking mess. I'm a freaking mess," Lisa said. "You can call me what you want!"
Lisa acknowledged that she hopes she can get better in the long run, but it may be a little too late as RHOBH fans have pointed out that she has become unbearable. It is not unusual for fans to take to social media to beg Bravo to switch up cast members on the Real Housewives franchises, but the criticism towards Lisa has been relentless. It all started when she began attacking friend of the show Kathy Hilton. Lisa continued her attack for days, even involving an unknown publicist who accused her of organizing a fake feud against Kathy. After multiple posts, Lisa deleted most of the messages, but other outlets had already picked up the allegedly doctored back-and-forth conversation.
As fans eagerly wait for the second half of RHOBH season 12 to play out, the upcoming reunion is already on viewers' minds. With multiple feuds and great chemistry among the casts, ratings have yet to decline. Although many are calling for Lisa's firing, they shouldn't hold their breath for any cast changes next season.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
