When Lisa Rinna chose to walk away from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after an impressive eight-season run, she did so with full confidence that she was making the right decision.
The Days Of Our Lives alum revealed her decision to step back from Bravo‘s iconic reality series earlier this year. The move shocked Andy Cohen and the show’s loyal (and intense) viewers alike. And now, in a new interview, Harry Hamlin‘s wife has made it clear that the show itself — or, more accurately, its fans — played a big role in that decision to move on.

Speaking with the Evening Standard‘s features vertical ES Magazine over the long Memorial Day weekend, the 59-year-old woman explained how the RHOBH fan base had gotten extremely “volatile” in recent years.
Lamenting how things didn’t used to be so intense with Bravo viewers going after cast members on social media and elsewhere, Rinna explained:
And it wasn’t just thousands of mean and judgmental internet comments to sift through — though there was that. Sadly, there were also more pointed and dangerous threats sent to Rinna and her loved ones, including her beloved daughters.
The former Dancing With The Stars contestant explained to the outlet:
Ugh!
Why do some people always have to take it so far?! Just, like, watch the show as a source of entertainment, tweet some funny s**t about it, and move on with your life! Why be so aggressive??
We are totally #TeamRinna on this one. We love RHOBH, but she’s right. It is a “stupid show.” Let it entertain you and make you laugh, and then move on! No need to send freakin’ DEATH THREATS over it!
