Lisa Rinna took to her Instagram Story on Thursday, where she reacted to a telling post about Erika Jayne.
As Erika continues to face criticism and suspicion on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa reacted to a fan who said “most” of Erika’s stories were “checking out” but “exaggerated” as she defended her longtime friend and co-star in a post that has since been deleted.
“Everyone is dragging Erika except Rinna. Meanwhile most of Erika’s stories are actually checking out… exaggerated but not false. Rinna seems to be on the right side even though y’all think she’s wrong,” the fan’s post read.
After seeing the post, Lisa reshared it on her own Story, with the caption, “I’m always on the right side of history.”
Although she deleted the message a short time later, the Queens of Bravo fan page on Instagram posted a screenshot of it on their page for their fans and followers to see.
Over the past several weeks, as several RHOBH cast members have confronted Erika with questions, Lisa has continued to be supportive.
“I’ve known Erika a long time, I don’t think she knew anything,” she said on an August episode of Watch What Happens Live. “Why would Tom Girardi tell Erika anything? The lawyers didn’t even know. That is how I feel. I’m going to stand by it. If I’m wrong, I’ll f-cking deal with it. [But] that’s my feeling.”
Lisa also defended Erika on an episode of WWHL earlier this month.
“Why would Tom Girardi ever tell Erika Jayne anything?” she asked. “She doesn’t work at the law firm. There’s lawyer-client privilege. How could he ever even come home and say, ‘Oh, honey, by the way, I did this, this and this.’”
Although Lisa is convinced Erika knew nothing about Thomas Girardi‘s alleged crimes, she said she would “have it out with her” if lies were confirmed.
“If she is somehow lying to me in any shape or form, we will come to terms with that. But I have to let this play out because no one’s been charged. No one’s been arrested. We haven’t even heard her side of the story. And I know everyone’s furious with me for standing by her but like, she’s my friend,” she noted. “And she hasn’t been charged and I believe he did it. He did this.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 11 finale airs Wednesday, October 6, at 8/7c on Bravo.
