Lisa Rinna has not shied away from sharing her candid feelings about "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" lately. In addition to calling the show a sinking ship, likening it to the "Titanic," the reality star recently revealed that she'd only go back to the reality series under one circumstance.

During an appearance on Grindr's "Who's The -sshole?" podcast with Katya Zamolodchikova, Lisa Rinna discussed what her "RHOBH" reunion would look like, and it sounds nothing short of explosive.

Lisa Rinna Would Need This One Thing To Return To Bravo

During their conversation, Zamolodchikova told the actress, known for shows like "Days of Our Lives" and "American Horror Stories," that she would've made a great "Bond girl" had she pursued the role before joining Housewives.

When asked what her weapon of choice would be, Rinna went all out and said a "gold-plated chainsaw" so that she could "cut people's heads off."

Shortly after, Rinna, who starred in the popular Bravo series from 2014 to 2022, changed the topic from "James Bond" movies to the "Real Housewives."

"I would like to go back to 'Housewives' with two rhinestone f-cking diamond chainsaws and cut all [of] their heads off," she said. "That would be the greatest day of my life."

The outspoken reality star, largely remembered for her chaotic arguments with co-stars Kim Richards, Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, and Denise Richards, didn't stop there. She added, "Producers, head of Bravo, Andy f-cking Cohen, all of them. Just slice and dice all of their f-cking heads off."

"That would be f-cking heaven," Rinna said.

Why Lisa Rinna Is Slamming Bravo

It's no secret that Rinna breathed new life into "RHOBH" when she joined the show ahead of its fifth season in 2014. The actress and mother of two's villainous ways produced some of the show's most memorable storylines, ultimately resulting in even bigger blowups.

Although Rinna never cared about being labeled the bad guy, the reality star admitted that during her final years on the show, the reaction from the audience became too much to bear.

"Some of the most horrible things I've ever seen in print, and it's a reality show! It's a stupid show! I thought: 'It's time to go.' I'm not sure how much longer that can exist in the zeitgeist," she said.

During another podcast appearance, Rinna discussed the state of "RHOBH" now that she's no longer on it.

"We all know it's the f-cking 'Titanic,'" she said before blasting producers for pulling gimmicks and "always looking to save it."

The "Melrose Place" actor also shared her thoughts surrounding the rumors that the network was eyeing Vanderpump for a massive return to the series she left during a fiery argument with Kyle Richards in 2019.

From Rinna's perspective, Bravo has to court Vanderpump because they have no one else. "They know I'm not going back," she said.

Rinna had to address her problematic comments about the show she spent eight seasons on during an appearance on Cohen's show, "Andy Cohen Live." There, the podcaster replied to the "Real Housewives" host, who called her out for always mouthing off about the franchise, considering she's "so moved past the [series and] doing your own thing."

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings," Rinna replied before admitting to using the wrong words.

However, by the end of their conversation, Rinna retracted her statements and said that she stood by her remarks. "I meant to say 'Titanic,' and I said it, and I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. Let's move on."
