Lisa Rinna Misses Getting A Paycheck, Predicts 'Boring' New Season Of 'RHOBH'

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Lisa Rinna recently claimed that the upcoming season of the Bravo show would be "boring" without her. After eight seasons as one of the leading ladies on the reality show, Rinna announced at the start of the year that she had finally ended her stint. 

The "Melrose Place" actress joined "Real Housewives" in season five along with Eileen Davidson, her co-star from "Days of Our Lives." While on the Bravo show, Rinna was known as one of the most controversial housewives. She notably had feuds with stars like Denise Richards, Sutton Stracke, and Garcelle Beauvais. 

Rinna's most recent scuffle was with co-star Kathy Hilton which lasted for most of the show's 12th season. The duo's tussle even bled into the season's reunion and saw them exchange harsh words with each other.

Rinna appeared in a Thursday episode of "The Talk" to stand in for co-host Amanda Kloots, who is currently ill. During the talk show, the Bravo reality star gave an update on her life after leaving the show and how she thought the upcoming season would fare without her and her brand of drama in the mix.

When asked about her relationship with her former co-stars, Rinna mentioned some women she occasionally kept in touch with post-departure. She revealed that Erika Jayne was one of her closest friends, as shown during her time on "RHOBH." The reality star also joked about the upcoming season and how it would be "a little boring" without her. 

"Erika Jayne and I are very close friends; Dorit [Kemsley] and Kyle [Richards] are my closest crew. You know, it ebbs and flows. But listen, the ladies are going to be fine. It might be a little boring," Rinna joked.

During her walk to her seat, Rinna received a loud ovation from the audience in the stands to which the reality star responded, "I'll take it, I'll take it!" This crowd's reception is significantly different from the kind Rinna was given during the BravoCon event in October last year. 

While walking to her fellow "RHOBH" cast members on stage, loud booing sounds were heard from the crowd. Talking about the incident during the Thursday episode, Rinna said, "I grew up loving wrestling. So to me, if you got booed as a wrestler, you were the star... I've never been booed before, that's the truth, but I was like, 'I made it!'"

The reality star also talked about how it felt being without a steady job for the first time in almost a decade. According to Rinna, one thing she missed was the regular paycheck. She said, "I never held a job for eight years. As an actor, as you know, [co-host] Jerry [O'Connell] knows, it doesn't last that long … so I will miss that routine of having a paycheck."

As Rinna expressed her feelings about missing a routine paycheck, the reality star also disclosed that she was excited about her newfound freedom. She talked about taking advantage of the fresh opportunities that were coming her way.

When Natalie Morales, the show's co-host, asked Rinna about the possibilities of a future franchise, she revealed that she was happy to be free for the first time in years and was open to different opportunities. "To be free for the first time in eight years, I can't wait to see what's going to happen, you know," Rinna responded per The Wrap. "The doors are flying open. I'm just saying yes to everything."

According to recent reports, Rinna and her family are looking into making a reality show much like E!'s "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." A future installment of the spin-off show, "Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip" on Peacock could also be on the cards for the reality star. 

The show is a spin-off of the original series and will show the housewives from different Bravo series on vacations to exotics locations. When asked if she would be interested, Rinna said, "First of all, it would depend on where and how much money. And again, never say never, so we would have to see. I like a lot of those girls."

Joining Jeff Lewis on SiriusXM Live, former "Real Housewives" star Richards revealed that if given a chance, she could see herself returning to the reality show. They were yet to reach out to her, though. During her time on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," the actress was a part of the 9th and 10th seasons but ultimately left the show amid issues with Rinna.  

The "Days of Our Lives" actress, who Richards was once friends with, reportedly accused her of being intimate with Brandi Glanville, a former castmate, despite Richards' denials. 

During the interview, Richards and Lewis talked about the possible reason behind Rinna's departure and settled on it being money-related. Lewis said, "When you give someone an ultimatum like that, you have to be prepared to walk away. I think in the past, there have been Housewives that want too much money."
