Lisa Rinna's Podcast Announcement Draws Mixed Reactions From 'Real Housewives' Fans

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" fans have expressed mixed reactions to the news that Lisa Rinna would be hosting a new podcast with her husband, actor Harry Hamlin.

The news of Rinna's latest business venture arrived just days after the Bravo veteran slammed the show, likening it to a sinking ship.

In a post, Lisa Rinna revealed that her podcast, "Let's Not Talk About the Husband," will launch on February 14, 2025. However, the reception to the new show might not have been what she expected.

During an interview, Rinna and her husband, Hamlin, announced that their new podcast would be available to stream on Valentine's Day.

According to the famous couple, after spending the last 30 years together, they've learned some things along the way that they're ready to share with those who want to listen.

Rinna and Hamlin will also discuss their time filming the popular reality series "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," which makes sense, considering the podcast's title is a nod to Rinna's infamous blowup in Amsterdam with castmate Kim Richards.

"... whatever we’re talking about, you can be sure it will be unfiltered! So tune in because we are owning it all," Rinna and Hamlin said in a statement to Deadline.

After Rinna shared the news about her podcast online, fans began sharing their opinions in the comments.

On Instagram, many people, including other Bravo stars, jumped in to show their excitement about the new episodes.

Heather Dubrow from "The Real Housewives of Orange County" revealed how much she loved the idea, while Teddi Mellencamp expressed her happiness for her former castmate.

"Housewives" watchers shared similar feelings, with one saying their "life suddenly has meaning again," while another said Rinna's show "is a podcast worth listening to."

However, on Reddit, the sentiments weren't the same.

One user shared their belief that the Bravosphere was oversaturated with podcasts, and another seemingly agreed, writing that they wouldn't be "making time for this."

It's no secret that during Rinna's time on the show, the reality star earned a reputation among her peers and watchers as the villain.

Her feuds with co-stars, including Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, friend-of-the-show Eden Sassoon, and, most notably, Richards, have left quite an impact on her Bravo legacy.

However, she doesn't seem to shy away from that during her new podcast.

In the preview clip for the show, Rinna discussed being called "sh-tty" and doing her castmates "dirty" during an episode of the show.

"Yeah, but why did I do you dirty?" she asked. "And why was I sh-tty?"

It's unclear what her rationale will be; however, she's expected to discuss it during the premiere episode, which, according to Deadline, will "focus on Rinna dishing on her time filming the Bravo reality series, why she left, and what her life has been like since leaving 'RHOBH.'"

Since leaving "RHOBH" in 2022, Rinna has gotten back into scripted television work, appearing in Lifetime movies and Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Stories."

Of course, fans have wondered what it would be like for the ex-Bravo star to return to the series that launched her back into the spotlight; however, she's made it clear that she has no interest in going back.

During a previous interview, she slammed the show's current state, calling it the "Titanic," likening it to a sinking ship.

"We all know it's the f-cking 'Titanic,'" she added.

Rinna also shared about how she believed Bravo was scrambling to rebuild "RHOBH" into the show it used to be.

After learning of the rumors that Bravo could've been considering bringing Vanderpump back, Rinna said she could see the network "courting the sh-t out of her" to get the show's spark back. "Because who else?" she asked.

She went on to say the executives "know I'm not going back" before saying she believed Vanderpump would do it.

"My guess is [that] she probably will," she said.

However, Vanderpump squashed the rumors during a previous interview, saying she'd sign on the dotted line when pigs could fly.
