** WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD **
Lisa Rinna’s time on the hit Peacock show The Traitors has come to a dramatic end.
The 62-year-old actress and television personality was banished from the castle after her castmates determined that she was a traitor. Rinna had managed to avoid banishment for 6 episodes before her castmates’ suspicions of her were enough to send her packing.
However, prior to leaving the castle, Rinna took a look back on her reality television career and provided a rare reflection on her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She broke down in tears when talking about her exit from the show in 2022 after eight seasons.
“The end of ‘Housewives’ was very difficult for me,” the 62-year-old said. “It was just so nice to be me. I am just so grateful for the entire experience. Thank you.”
In the wake of her exit from RHOBH, Rinna gave a statement to People about the experience.
“This is the longest job I have held in my 35-year career, and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series. It has been a fun eight-year run, and I am excited for what is to come,” she said at the time.
Rinna’s time on RHOBH was filled with drama, and her time on The Traitors, though brief, was much of the same.
During last week’s episode, Rinna and fellow contestant Colton Underwood came head-to-head during a heated roundtable discussion. Each of them accused the other of being a traitor. Up until this point, Rinna had largely avoided suspicion and seemed shocked by the former Bachelor’s allegations.
She would later take her frustration out on Underwood through social media, referring to him as a “stalker” in one post.
She later apologized for her comment, acknowledging that her words contributed to online backlash that Underwood has received during his time on the show.
