  • Richards returned Rinna's gift which she brought for the former's grandson as a peace offering.
  • Richards claimed it “didn’t have good energy" leading Rinna to burst out in tears.

Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has provided jaw-dropping moments over the years. But coming close to what Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna had on the show is just quite difficult. While the former has been a regular on the show, Rinna joined as a full-time housewife in Season 5.

She never held herself back from poking her nose on any controversial situation of other ladies. Her keen interest in meddling in situations eventually led to a fallout with Richards, who showed no remorse in dissing the latter.

The feud between The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars is surely entertaining for many people but nothing can come close to what happened between Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna.

What started as a small brawl reached a major boiling point during a dramatic moment in the Season 7 reunion.

In Season 7, Rinna gifted Richards’ grandson a stuffed bunny as a peace offering but in the reunion, the former shocked everyone when she returned the bunny to Rinna.

She revealed that she neither gave it to her grandson nor opened it, explaining that it “didn’t have good energy.” She returned the gift on camera, still in its original packaging. The atmosphere had already turned shocking as she continued via Bravo TV,

I think what I should do is give it to you, and when you are in a better place, maybe you can give it back to me. Because right now, I don’t feel it was given to me with the right energy.

While this might look like there’s still room for improvement in the duo’s relationship, it was quite clear that Richards rejected any possibility of reconciliation.

Fans Supported Kim Richards’ Toxic Behavior Towards Lisa Rinna

While Richards’ mean behavior towards Rinna broke the latter’s heart who burst out into tears in that RHOBH episode, fans have defended the former. Despite her behavior seeming quite extreme for that particular episode, many couldn’t help but agree that Rinna brought it upon herself.

One key reason was their perception that the Soap Talk host often dragged the former’s personal struggles just to get the spotlight for her own storyline on the show.

Throughout their time together, Lisa frequently made remarks about her sobriety and personal issues, creating tension that kept increasing over time.

Fans were quick to point out how Rinna made things worse for herself. They took to the comments section to express their thoughts on that particular Bunny situation. One user wrote,

Y’all acting like she didn’t say that lady was near DEATH…. Rinna did too much. And always plays victim.

Another mentioned,

Lisa Rinna irritates me. She says awful things and it’s like…oh I don’t remember, or someone else said it or, oh you know what I did say it, I’m so sorry, I’ll never do it again. I’m really sick of her

A third wrote,

…and Kyle is STILL friends with Rinna?! Even after she admitted she lied to her face and said awful things about her sister…

Another chimed in to express,

Lisa Rinna always uses other people’s weakness for a storyline. It’s ridiculous.

The duo’s feud began in Season 5 when Lisa repeatedly commented on Richards’ sobriety, causing tension. Things exploded during an Amsterdam dinner when the Nanny and the Professor actress threatened to reveal secrets about Rinna’s husband.

This prompted Lisa to throw wine and break a glass which almost turned violent. Their tension has remained a central storyline on the show ever since, with Teddy’s returning incident being the final nail in the coffin.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to watch on Bravo TV.
