Rinna has been involved in continuous drama with Beauvais, and recently admitted to tossing the star's 2022 tell-all memoir in the trash during a Real Housewives Reunion.
Initially, it was believed that co-star, Erika Jayne, had thrown out the mom-of-three's kids since she had uploaded a video onto her Instagram story in April of throwing the book away.
Cohen, brought up the topic to Erika which prompted a confession from Lisa herself, as she said: 'I have to be honest. I’m the one that tossed Garcelle’s book in the trash.'

According to Page Six, her reasoning behind the action was due to the mention of her daughter, Amelia Gray Hamlin's, eating disorder in a first edition of the memoir.
However, the second edition of the novel had the details of Amelia's alleged eating disorder fully removed.
Along with Garcelle's continuous rift and drama with co-star, Lisa, other celebrities have lost their patience with the TV personality.
Shortly after the airing of the reunion, former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, Denise Richards, jumped to her Instagram to share her thoughts.
During the special which aired on Wednesday, Andy had informed Lisa that she has a lack of 'impulse control.'
Denise then wrote out on her Instagram story, 'I watched #RHOBH last night. While I have empathy for Lisa Rinna losing her mom. What is her excuse all the other years on the show for being so cruel & so vindictive?'

Clapping back: Kathy Hilton recently informed TMZ that she will not return to the reality series if both Lisa and Erika remain on the show; seen in May in Los Angeles
Reality star, Kathy Hilton, also recently expressed that she has no desire to return to the series if Lisa and Erika Jayne remain on the show.
'I had said that I would only be willing to come back if the cast changed,' she informed TMZ.
She further added, 'If it was completely the same, absolutely not. Because I feel they are two bullies that intimidate a lot of the other girls.'
Amid the show's drama, Lisa also responded to Kathy's comment on her Instagram story earlier on Friday, reported Page Six.
'I'm a firm believer that the truth will always come out,' she wrote. 'You might as well save yourself the energy and just be honest from the start.'
