In her new memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, Lisa Rinna talks about the meanest celebrities she’s worked with. She calls singer Dionne Warwick a “nasty piece of work” from their 2011 fight on Celebrity Apprentice. Rinna remembered getting Warwick a Pepsi during a pizza challenge, but she was kicked out when Warwick and someone else teamed up against her. She also called out Star Jones for being a traitor, saying that Jones “threw her under the bus” early in the competition, which got her ready for the drama of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Rinna didn’t trust the women on the NBC reality show, especially Jones and Warwick, and she also had a lot of problems with Nene Leakes. Warwick asked for favors without saying thank you, and Jones’s hostility pushed Rinna to leave before winner Trace Adkins got the prize. Rinna says that the “woman-on-woman hostility” made her stronger.
Rinna called her former Days of Our Lives co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly “horrible” and her “biggest bully,” saying he used mind games and verbal abuse to hurt her. She said that Anna Wintour had ignored her many times before giving her a nod at a Balenciaga show. Rinna also talked bad about former RHOBH stars like Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke in the book.
