If you want Lisa Rinna to come back to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you’re going to have to pay up.
“I mean if a billionaire sugar daddy came along and said, ‘You have to do Housewives and I will pay you $25 million dollars,’ I would say, ‘OK, fine, sure,’” Rinna, 61, shared on the Friday, May 2 episode of DearMedia’s “Let’s Not Talk About the Husband” podcast.
When cohost Harry Hamlin asked if it was really all about the money, Rinna said it plays a big role.
“A lot of times,” she teased, “but it would have to be so much [money].”
Rinna left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after eight seasons in January 2023. At the time, Bravo shared a portion of Rinna’s resignation letter that stated, “I will not be renewing my contract and I will not be coming back to RHOBH.”

Although the show has continued on, Hamlin, 73, believes he wife was the “GOAT,” or greatest of all time, to appear on the Bravo series.
“A lot of people will come up to me and say, ‘Oh, the show just doesn’t have that spark, that same Lisa Rinna thing going on anymore,’” he said. “I know we have talked about this a lot, but you wouldn’t go back.”
While Rinna has been outspoken about her desire to move on and focus on other projects, some fans have wondered if Hamlin was on the same page as his wife.

In their latest podcast episode, Hamlin made it clear that he is not advocating for his wife’s return.
“I was there during those eight years. I was with you the whole way,” he recalled. “I know what it took out of you. I know what it gave you. I know what it took away. Knowing that, I would not in any way endorse you going back to that show.”
Although Hamlin believes the show may have given his wife a larger profile, “it was a negative” emotionally.
“It took a lot out of you, out of me, out of everything,” he said. “It didn’t give you back as much as it took away. You didn’t come out of it ahead, if you ask me.”
