While Rinna did a great job of manipulating Richard during Season 10, it is now clear that she is not the only one with access to her personal life. Richards did not volunteer for this task, she was paid an inordinate amount of money to sit in million-dollar homes and villas and bare her most intimate secrets. While Rinna definitely dug her claws into Richards during Season 10, it’s not like she didn’t know how Rinna got down with the cast. Plus, they were actually friends in real life, which means that Richards should’ve been hip to Rinna’s tactics.
With that said, Rinna’s recent “RHOBH” departure, which was ironically spurred by viewer backlash over her Season 12 behavior, has given Richard a perfect chance to swoop and reclaim her own story on her terms. Sure, she’ll still have to face Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, and the others, but the show is offering her a clean slate. Not many ex-housewives receive such an opportunity with their biggest obstacle out of their way! She shouldn’t waste this chance, especially since many Bravo fans are already rooting for her return.
She shouldn’t rest a little extra easy knowing that she’s taking up screen-time previously occupied by Rinna. There’s no excuse for her not to bring the heat!
Look, going up against Lisa Rinna and company isn’t for the faint of heart. No one with common sense would volunteer for such a task.
