Bravo’s Andy Cohen is “impressed” by Lisa Rinna’s post RHOBH success in the fashion industry. Find out what Andy has to say!
Andy Cohen recently gave Lisa Rinna props for her post-RHOBH career in fashion during a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
Following Lisa Rinna’s departure from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after eight seasons, the Bravo executive producer expected the actress to pivot into being a talk show co-host or returning to scripted television.
However, he never imaged that Rinna would embark on a career in fashion modeling.
“I did not have it on my bingo card that Lisa Rinna would become, not only a model, but she is walking in couture campaigns in Paris,” Andy Cohen admitted.
He continued, “She has become a real player in the fashion industry, and I am really impressed. I’ve got to give it up to her.”
Since leaving RHOBH in January 2023, Rinna has posed for several high fashion magazine spreads. She’s also walked the runway for Rotate Birger Christensen and sat front tow at Paris fashion week.
More recently she starred in a fashion campaign with her daughter Amelia Hamlin for Marc Jacobs.
Her next project is starring in the Lifetime movie, Mommy Meanest.
With so much on her plate, the 60-year-old has made it clear that she has no interest in returning to RHOBH.
“Never. No, I wouldn’t,” she revealed on the Jennifer Hudson Show in March 2023. “But listen, I’m grateful for the experience. I think that it has made me a better actor because I’m acting again.”
“I’m not kidding! You laugh, but it’s true. I think it made made me a better actor, working with those women [and] going through that experience.”
“I just did a movie called Mommy Meanest, which I trained for for eight years on that show. I definitely did, and I had a lot to pull from,” she added.
“I have a lot to pull from after working for eight years on that show. You know, different psychologies of different women. I never would have come across that if I hadn’t done that show. I am grateful for that show. I’m the person I am today because of it, but I’ll never go back. Did it, done it, saw the movie.”
ack in November 2023, Lisa Rinna insisted that she doesn’t miss being on RHOBH and the drama that comes with it.
The 60-year-old told Access Hollywood: “I don’t miss it. Not at all. Not for a second. I miss some of them, you know.”
“I am like, praise Jesus. I am so thrilled,” Rinna said of not having to deal with the drama any longer.
In January 2023, Lisa Rinna announced her exit from RHOBH after eight seasons on the show. The former soap star joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2014 during season 5. She remained a full-time cast member on the show until her exit following season 12.
Rinna infamously emailed her resignation to her Bravo bosses, including Andy Cohen, in September 2022 following the season 12 reunion.
Since then, Andy has publicly said that he hopes Rinna’s exit from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was just a pause and that she would come back to the show in the future. Yet, that doesn’t seem likely right now.
Production for season 14 of RHOBH reportedly begins in April.
RHOBH is expected to return to Bravo in late 2024 or early 2025.
