Lisa Rinna is defending herself against online trolls who feel that she should not be sticking up for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Jayne. Lisa has been steadfast in her support of Erika, even after a recent episode revealed the damning LA Times article. The soap opera star is best known for making her fellow housewives own their drama. Lisa has been the force behind the Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville drama.
Now has decided to take Erika's side amidst her legal drama. Lisa has been Erika's biggest supporter throughout all of it, leading Bravo viewers to feel that she is a hypocrite. Erika's estranged husband, Tom Girardi, has been accused of embezzling millions from clients, and viewers are starting to think Erika knew about it. A recent episode showed the Beverly Hills women rethinking their loyalty, but Lisa stood firm.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa posted an Instagram Story where she attacked those who wished to see her fail by writing, “The velocity that you mother******* want to take me down and see me crash and burn is palpable. I see you," as shared by lawyer Ronald Richards on Twitter. In a recent Instagram Story, Lisa pleaded with fans not to threaten her or Erika just because they do not like them on the show. Erika had shared a direct message from a critic who wished that she would be "executed." Immediately, both Lisa and Erika shared a Story telling their followers to be better, asking that they don't threaten either one of them or their family. The mother of two made it clear that she was doing the best she can and waiting to see the issue play out in real-time.
Lawyer Ronald is not holding back when it comes to anyone who decides to support Erika. He recently went after Lisa on Twitter, claiming that the actress was only pretending to care about her friend's woes. The lawyer felt that her words rang hollow and empty, especially after it was revealed that she referred Erika to her own business manager. Lisa did not sit idly by and take the hate; she quickly responded by posting a clip from the episode where she went on to say if she thought Erika was lying, she would say so, explaining, "I need to let it play out and see what’s gonna happen.”
There is a clear line drawn down the middle with fans and their loyalty when it comes to Erika's innocence. But it didn't help when Erika's story seemed to have holes poked in it after Sutton Stracke read the entire LA Times article. While Erika claims that her husband was involved in a terrible car crash three years prior, Pasadena police have no record of it. Lisa is still sticking to her guns while she waits for Erika's legal woes to play out in a court of law, not the court of popular opinion.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesday at 8pm on Bravo.
