It’s been a few years since Lisa Rinna appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a cast member. However, she’s still dealing with some of the lasting drama from her time on the show. Notably, there were and still are several rumors about Harry Hamlin‘s sexuality and fidelity. Now, Lisa is addressing the chatter and saying she’s embracing being a villain in an interesting new social media post.

Fans of RHOBH will recall that Lisa joined the show in 2014 for its fifth season. During her time on the show, Lisa was quite polarizing, but she was one of the cast members who kept the storylines moving forward. Fast-forward to 2023, and Lisa decided to leave the show with her now iconic letter of resignation. 

According to US Weekly, Lisa and Harry recently spoke about their marriage and some of the rumors surrounding it on their podcast, which is called Let’s Not Talk About the Husband. She said, “Number one, we’re the only Housewife couple to still be married. But you’re gay, and you have mistresses? … And I’m your beard. You’re f—ing busy. How do you do it all, Harry?”

He joked that he was having “the time of my life” and that “I’ve got no boundaries.” Lisa then asked, “How do you have mistresses in Canada, and that are women, but then you’re gay, and I’m your beard? And we just say, you f—ed the dog to throw everybody off.” For context, Kathy Griffin recently claimed that she’d heard rumors of Harry having intercourse with a dog, to which Harry responded with a statement of denial.

Lisa continued, “I’ll never forget. When I was doing the show, when people would get mad at me, you all of a sudden were gay, or you have mistresses in Canada. People have seen you. If they liked me, oh, we were such a sweet couple, and they love our relationship, and they love our family. But anytime they got mad at me, you were f—ing gay.”

He then joked again about his sexual orientation, saying, “I came out of the closet every time they got mad.” Regarding how he feels about the discussions of him being gay, Harry explained, “I don’t give a s—. I think it’s so interesting, though. Like, how can you be gay and have mistresses, but they don’t call you bi. They don’t call you bi. You’re not bi. You’re gay, and you f— women in Canada all the time.”

Harry went on to say that he “must be very busy” if the rumors are true. However, he added, “But not true. It sounds kind of exotic, right? But not true.”

Recently, Lisa took to her Instagram to post a video of herself dancing to the song Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. She said in the caption, “I have finally embraced my villain. This always used to just work everybody up so much, so cheers, clutch those pearls, Henny.”
