AceShowbiz - Lisa Rinna has opened up in her new memoir, You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It, sharing her honest reflections on her time as a cast member of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She offers candid insights into her relationships with fellow castmates, including Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards.

Lisa Rinna explains that when she first joined the show in season five, she admired Vanderpump and often sought her advice. She describes Lisa Vanderpump as "very smart" and one of the best when it came to navigating reality TV. However, over time, Rinna felt that she had been "molded like clay" by the influence of Vanderpump.

The memoir also touches on the dynamics surrounding the show's opening credits. Rinna highlights the importance of the central diamond position, which was consistently reserved for Kyle Richards. According to Rinna, even after a strong season, cast members might only earn the spot next to Kyle, but never the center itself.

Reflecting on her experience, Rinna describes feeling overshadowed by a "black cloud" during some seasons. She also recounts the pivotal moment during the contentious Puppy Gate storyline, when the cast confronted Lisa Vanderpump directly. Rinna recalls that once the cast called out Vanderpump, the majority of the group turned against her.

This memoir offers a revealing look at the behind-the-scenes tensions and alliances that shaped Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during Lisa Rinna's tenure on the show.
