Lisa Rinna has once again found herself at the center of a Bravo storm, but this time it’s not because of her sharp tongue or explosive arguments on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The reality star and actress has shocked fans by revealing she has been the target of a wave of hateful, insulting, and downright vulgar messages after being announced as the new face of a top-tier lingerie brand.
The 60-year-old star, known for her bold personality and unapologetic confidence, took to social media to address the backlash she has faced since landing the high-profile modeling gig. “I’ve always known that people can be cruel, but this? This is next-level,” Lisa wrote in her Instagram Stories, her frustration palpable. “The things people have said to me are completely unacceptable. No one, and I mean no one, deserves to be spoken to like that.”
Rinna’s announcement as the face of the luxury lingerie brand was initially met with excitement and admiration, with fans praising her for breaking boundaries and proving that beauty and confidence have no age limit. However, it seems not everyone shared the same enthusiasm. According to Lisa, the hateful messages began flooding her inbox almost immediately after the campaign was unveiled, with some commenters going as far as to say she was “too old” and “desperate” to model lingerie.
But the insults didn’t stop there. Lisa revealed that some of the messages were so vulgar and offensive that she couldn’t bring herself to repeat them. “I’ve received messages calling me every name in the book, questioning my body, my choices, and even my worth as a person,” she shared. “It’s disgusting and heartbreaking to see how cruel people can be, especially when I’ve done nothing but celebrate confidence and self-love.”
The reveal has sent shockwaves through the Bravo-verse, with fans and fellow housewives rallying around Lisa in support. “Lisa is stunning inside and out, and anyone who says otherwise is just jealous,” one fan tweeted, while another wrote, “The fact that people are attacking her for this is absolutely ridiculous. She’s an icon!”
Even some of Lisa’s RHOBH co-stars, despite their on-screen feuds, have come forward to defend her. “Say what you want about Lisa, but she’s worked hard to get where she is, and she deserves this moment,” said one unnamed cast member.
Lisa, never one to back down from a fight, is using this experience as an opportunity to speak out against online bullying and ageism, issues that she says are far too common in today’s society. “This isn’t just about me,” she said in a recent interview. “It’s about every woman who has ever been told she’s too old, too much, or not enough. It’s about standing up and saying, ‘You don’t get to decide my worth.’”
She also had a strong message for her critics: “To anyone who has a problem with me modeling lingerie at my age, I have one thing to say – get over it. Women can be sexy, confident, and powerful at any age, and I’m here to prove it.”
The controversy has only brought more attention to the lingerie campaign, which features Lisa looking radiant and confident as she models the brand’s latest collection. Fans have praised the campaign for celebrating beauty and confidence at all stages of life, with many calling Lisa an inspiration.
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is certain: Lisa Rinna isn’t letting the haters get her down. “I’ve been through worse, and I’m still standing,” she declared. “If anything, this has only made me stronger. Watch out, because I’m just getting started.”
With her bold attitude and unwavering confidence, Lisa Rinna is proving once again why she’s one of Bravo’s most iconic stars – and why she’s not letting anyone dim her light.
