It appears that Lisa Rinna will be a part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when it returns for its 13th season later this year.
In a series of posts shared to her Instagram Story earlier this week, Lisa, who faced backlash from fans online and was booed at BravoCon after targeting Kathy Hilton on season 12, hinted at her return to Bravo by suggesting that after a “group effort” was staged to take her down, she is “still standing.”
“You should be flattered. There was a group effort to take you down, and you are still standing!” read a message shared to Lisa’s Story on January 2.
And as they shared a screenshot of the post, Bravo Snark Side wrote, “I’d say that’s an admission to what we all knew! I’ve been saying since Puppy Gate they meet and plot before filming.” They also called for vindication for Kathy, as well as Lisa Vanderpump and Denise Richards, who she targeted on previous seasons of RHOBH.
In an additional post shared to her Story, Lisa featured a message and video from a fan.
“My point as usual if there is no Rinna there is no RHOBH show … They want her gone but they like their check’s don’t they?” the fan asked.
And in the video shared, a number of controversial moments were seen, including the moments in which she asked Denise, “Do you talk about the hookers around your kids?” Also, “What’s it like to shoot a three-way?”
Lisa was also heard questioning Dorit Kemsley about whether or not people were “doing coke in [her] bathroom” and telling Kim Richards, “Let’s talk about your arrest. Why don’t we do that?”
Weeks ago, during an interview with E! News, Lisa said that when it comes to her potential season 13 return, fans were going to have to wait and see whether or not she was asked back.
“We’ll see,” Lisa said on December 8. “We’re just gonna see what happens, whatever God has in store for us. We never know. You never know … I think that it was needed after that. It was a very intense season. And I think that they’re smart over there at Bravo, and I don’t think it hurts anybody to take a break.”
Although Kathy previously dealt Bravo with an ultimatum, saying she would not return to RHOBH if Lisa and Erika Jayne were brought back, she seemingly had a change of heart after Andy Cohen made it clear that decision was not up to her.
“I don’t know. I don’t think anybody knows if they’re going back. I’m not here to get ahead of myself. Let’s see if they want me,” she explained to Entertainment Tonight before describing Lisa as “easygoing.”
In addition to Lisa accusing Kathy of trash-talking sister Kyle Richards and threatening to destroy her family amid a meltdown in Aspen, Erika claimed Kathy used a slur at a nightclub on the same night, which she denied.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is expected to begin production later this month.
