Lisa Rinna announced her exit from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after eight seasons on the Bravo reality series. I sent her a text just, like, you know, ‘It’s not a big deal.’ But seems maybe it’s a bigger deal for her.Lisa Rinna clarifies whether family is getting reality show after ‘RHOBH’ exit “I’m not mad at her for not sending me a thank you note. Stracke later told Us Weekly that she didn’t expect the story about the tickets to “blow up” as it did. “But I love that Sutton bought a table, and all of the money went to foundation. “Guests of Elton, not Sutton,” she captioned the pic. Rinna also posted a photo of her and Hamlin dressed in black tie attire at the gala, according to Bravo TV. Perhaps they did not know that I actually bought those tickets for them. “We’ve gone to the fabulous Elton John Oscars party for years,” she added.Īfter Cohen told Stracke that Rinna posted that she did not attend the event as her guest, Stracke said they would “have words” about it, then insisted, “I purchased them for them. Let’s just make that clear,” Rinna wrote. “We didn’t come as your guests invited us to his event, you asked us to sit at your table. I never got a thank you.”Īs the live WWHL episode aired, Rinna responded on her Instagram story to dispute Stracke’s claim over the $10,000 per seat charity gala.

“A few years ago Harry and Lisa both came, I invited them, to the Elton John gala,” Stracke claimed on the Bravo late-night show. The drama between Rinna and Stracke started after the Sutton boutique owner was a guest on “Watch What Happens Live” in 2021 and claimed that she purchased pricey charity gala tickets for Rinna and her husband, Harry Hamlin. Sutton Stracke Accused Lisa Rinna of Failing to Thank Her For Seats at Elton John’s Gala “There were a lot of decisions made in the edit to cut down many conversations.” Like enough is enough,” Cohen said on his Siriux XM show “Andy Cohen Live. “We talked about them, and she whipped the receipts out, and we wound up cutting the whole thing because we were done talking about the Elton John AIDS Foundation. “She might still be on the show, but the audience believed Sutton.”Īccording to, Cohen did confirm that Rinna brought an envelope carrying her “proof” to the RHOBH reunion, but that he didn’t have time to get into it with her. “She might still be on the show had Sutton not said that,” Hamlin said, per Page Six’s source. Hamlin claimed that it was IMDb, not Stracke, who provided him and Rinna with the tickets to the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party in 2019. The outlet reported that Hamlin was heard telling a friend that Rinna “had all the receipts from that night” and had planned to show them at the RHOBH season 12 reunion, but her proof was never shown on air. In January 2023, Rinna’s husband, Harry Hamlin, claimed that Rinna made the decision to leave the Bravo reality show after viewers took Sutton Stracke’s side over her story about an invitation to Elton John’s annual charity gala, according to a source for Page Six. Lisa Rinna had a rough final season on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but her exit was not over her feud with Kathy Hilton following that explosive cast trip to Aspen - at least according to her husband. Lisa Rinna's husband revealed why she really left RHOBH.
