Lisa Rinna is going through the stags of grief following her January exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

During an appearance on Thursday, Lisa revealed what she misses most from her time on the show as she addressed whether she’ll be watching season 13 and revealed if she and her co-stars are given glam budgets for the show.

“No. Zero,” Lisa confirmed on the April 13 episode of The Talk. “We dress ourselves and do our own hair and makeup or you have to hire your own hair and makeup, except when you’re doing the interview section … they do that. How about that? It’s a lot to dress yourself.”

When Lisa was then asked if she and her castmates ever texted beforehand in regard to what they were planning to wear to certain events, Lisa confirmed they did not before recalling an accidental “twinning” session with Erika Jayne.

“I did show up at Erika Jayne’s house and we were wearing the same dress. It’s true. It’s a true story and we screamed out loud,” Lisa revealed. “I mean, come on, what are the odds of wearing the exact same dress at a party? And we’ve done that a couple times since then.”

Although Lisa didn’t give a figure for the amount she spent, she joked that over her eight years there, she “spent all [her] money, pretty much, on the wardrobe.”

“I’m talking shoes and jewelry,” she continued. “You have to be like a little mini-stylist. It was a bit challenging but I did it. I’m richer now than I was because now I’m not spending all that money on clothes. So think about [Dorit Kemsley] and all her outfits, and Erika and all her outfits. I mean, we were supporting the designers. We really were.”

Luckily, Lisa’s husband, Harry Hamlin, isn’t nearly as high-maintenance.

“There’s not two of us in the house buying as much as I do,” she shared. “Harry wears the same black T-shirt every day for the last eight years, at least. So we’ve saved and we spent.”

During another segment of the show, Lisa spoke of missing RHOBH.

“I think I’m still in mourning because I’ve only not been on [RHOBH] for two months,” Lisa admitted. “I miss the cast and the crew. I mean, I’m with that same crew for eight years, we all are. And it’s very hard and I would say I’m still going through that mourning process. I’m still in [the stages of grief]. They’re filming right now. I’m not. And I miss the connection to the people.”

In addition to missing the people she worked with, Lisa said she’s struggled to detach from the series.

“You’re dealing with real emotions. I’m not playing a so-called character. So it almost is harder in a way because when you’re playing a character, in a way you can detach I think differently than when you are yourself,” she explained. “These people were definitely in my life, in my home, with my children, with my husband, for eight years. It’s a long time.”

As for whether or not she’ll tune in to season 13, Lisa said, “I don’t know.”

“I’m kinda in this point right now where I have to detach completely from it in order to move on,” she shared. “It’s weird. I don’t know. I’m sure, like anything, when I left Days of Our Lives, when I left Melrose Place, jobs that I had for a long period of time, I think it happens with all the jobs because those people become your life. That becomes your life.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is currently in production and expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year.
