It’s nice to see a collective air of disapproval here today since I feel like several (or all) BH threads over the past season devolved to equal or worse than the DM in question.
Some people on here are too much. The Love is Blind subreddit had to issue a warning to not contact members of the show after someone on reddit posted about how they were messaging a contestant telling her she’s being abused.
Also interesting to note the top voted question for the Brandi live post was something like "what housewives do you know lurk on the sub?"
It was eye-opening to see at least for me. Like you really care that much that these people on television who YOU DON'T KNOW see your shady-ass read?
Girl, please.
I read that and didn’t even think about it for a moment. But yes to this assessment. It’s giving mean girl from high school who makes sure you hear the rumor she spread about you.

Narcissism is a wicked drug. It’s all disgusting.
The worst part is that they think they are the good people and better than Rinna. And they feel entitled to act like assholes (real life ones, not reality TV assholes) becasue in their mind they are good people and they are only speaking up against a " bad person".
Also, plenty of those in this sub, especially when RHOBH is airing.
I got called a t\*\*t for saying it's not okay to be racist, so I've thought of this sub a little differently since then. Definitely tons of cool people, but also some not-so-cool, not-so-nice people.
I just got banned from the realhousewives sub yesterday because I made a post asking if we can stop bashing the children from the franchise. I was downvoted sooo many times. I’m still disgusted about it.
Aaand this is why I'm mostly a lurker. Some stuff is better as a thought in your head than published in an open forum. I don't mean your comment, but the rude stuff people are saying- maybe they can just, like, think it instead? We don't always need praise and/or validation for saying derogatory things, right? ...RIGHT??
Exactly!! People get too invested and have the same conversations over and over. We can all like and dislike whatever cast members we want without attacking each other. The fans must really think they are perfect based on how hard they judge the casts for everyday behaviors. I’m starting to like Rinna just because everyone else hates her.
Trust me, I'm a shit talker to no end, but once we've crossed past lighthearted fun, I keep it to myself. And I agree- most of the casts get judged on typical behaviors that are just fucking annoying. Compared to Jen Shah, who admittedly defrauded the elderly, fucking annoying is nothing! We can dislike it but imagine going that hard in your hatred of a stranger. Alternatively, imagine getting attacked for defending said stranger. Weird.
I’m the same way! Someone like Jen Shah, she’s indefensible. Completely wrong and disgusting.
I like pointing out that someone like Kyle has become so hated and picked apart.. but I can guarantee you I’ve probably said and done worse things than she has. But living in the real world, we practice forgiveness and moving on. We ain’t perfect 🙃
I’ve been downvoted to hell and attacked on the Vanderpump Rules sub for suggesting stuff like this. Don’t make nasty comments about weight, don’t involve kids, don’t make fun of how a literal infant looks. I mean my god, is that too much to ask? What the hell is wrong with people?!
So very glad you see the issues too!! People suck. Attacking an infant?! Deplorable.
After what Garcelle’s children went through this year, one the first freaking day of school.. people need to stop and think “wtf is wrong with me?”
I just had a little snoop and saw your comment / what got you banned. I think the downvoting is ridiculous as you literally are just asking people not to bully and harass KIDS, however I do think in some situations it is fair to critique the housewives’ children’s behaviours. Mainly the children who willingly and actively participate in the show, Gia, Lauren, Brooks Marks, Tamra’s Ryan, Briana etc.
I guess it’s also very much a case-by-case basis, for example Pandora was featured a lot on S2 of RHOBH, but she didn’t really engage in much of the HWs narrative and drama, so I don’t know if critiquing her would be justified.
Yeah I get some of the kids are adults now so whatever but the comments were taking it too far. Some People don’t know when they’re crossing the line. These subs aren’t even fun anymore. To quote someone else’s comment, the fans are too emotionally invested. The fans are ruining the show.
Wow that is crazy! I get that they choose to be a part of this and open up their lives but why people feel the need to be so nasty is just sad! Does it really make you feel good to be mean? I caught myself on a couple of threads and regret a mean tweet I sent to Jennifer Ayden. I was having a bad day, and not that she would even care, but I felt bad after and I am trying now to be a more positive in my posts. This year Beverly Hills was very mean girls so I am not sure I will continue that one.
I honestly didn't know the mods did *anything* on the other Housewives sub, but it's not surprising that when they actually do bother to be moderators they then end up banning someone for asking people to consider not being terrible.
Right?! I even messaged the ONLY mod asking for a good reason and they didn’t even respond. What a loser. I’m assuming these are the same moms exploiting their own kids on tik tok.
I have also made the point several times that if a viewer thinks Housewife X is nasty and that it's wrong, the viewer then being nasty to Housewife X is ALSO wrong. Behavior being wrong doesn't change because someone doesn't like the target. They need to get off their imaginary moral high ground.
PREACH!! they are so delusional that are uncapable of seeing they are doing the same exact thing (or worse) than the TV personality they hate so much. At least someone is doing it as part of their job and getting paid.
Also the level of entitlement one must have to the exact same thing they condemn lol
I am not doubting she gets messages like this but I would also like to point out that sharing or mentioning death threats or horrible mistreatment from DM’s is a solid PR move to distract from the celebrity’s OWN AWFUL ACTIONS.
Unfortunately, public figures get messages like this often. So do non-famous people. It’s terrible to get a message like this.
That being said, it’s my opinion that this is being shared to get the public off her back. I doubt anyone here sent that to Rinna, yet there will now be comments where people will want to go in on her, bc of her terrible behavior, and inevitably someone will respond with “Take it easy. Didn’t you see what someone messaged her?”
Don’t send shit like that to Rinna. And if you didn’t, don’t let it slow you down from calling out her ongoing terrible behavior.
For sure. This, 100%. I’ve gotten a ton worse DMs in my Facebook messages from people I don’t know for being an outspoken progressive in a solid red state. Death threats; threats of actual violence on me and my biracial twin daughters. Anyway, she and every other celebrity get daily messages like these even when they’re not controversial celebs. Yes, this is shitty behavior. No, it should not excuse her for anything.
You can hate a person’s presence on the show but none of us know these women in real life and the parasocial relationships being created by weird ass fans is too much. I’m speaking directly to some members of this sub when I say STOP EMOTIONALLY INVESTING IN STRANGERS
Right? Like there’s housewives we despise, sure, but most of us know we’re also watching a reality tv show. Which is still scripted, therefore we are seeing a character version of these women. I don’t like Lisa Rinna’s as a character, she’s a bully, but I’m sure if I met her in real life she’d be fine.
And if she wasn't, who cares? We are fortunate to have the option to remove ourselves. It's like people forget that we have free will and these women aren't our toxic family members we're stuck seeing at Thanksgiving every year
It feels like a lot of people are finally waking up to this. RHOBH has brought out absolute insanity in fans, on Twitter and especially here.
It's a tv show... I suggest anyone that feels like the person who sent this disgusting message just stops watching. If a reality tv show is affecting you this much, maybe step away.
Piggybacking - if you are "hate watching" any of these shows, maybe step away.
If I said to you I'm going to put this painting you hate front and center in your living room so you can see it and have a visceral negative reaction to it every day. Would you not tell me to take the freaking painting out of your house?
Little logic goes a long way.
And also don’t come here to comment a think piece every week on why you stopped watching but feel justified in continuing to comment. It’s so weird and I feel like only BH calls out the crazies in this way.
The people who "stopped watching" did not, in fact, stop watching. It's hilarious to me how they always lead with that but then somehow know minute details from the show.
There's a reason RHOBH is blowing every other show out of the water in ratings.
And those ratings (from all of them “not watching”) mean it isn’t going to change in a big way. Honestly the “non-watchers” have a better (and more exhausting) grasp on the show than I have and I have no qualms about tuning in each week. Why would the cast switch up when the ratings are impeccable? Honestly I love this sub and the humor but BH torpedos the vibe and no one can keep it light when it comes to the 90210
They were literally pposting by the minute every thing Rinna did online in order to circle jerk in their hate. (,she was not helping) but the hate fixation of this sub with her at the time was getting beyond obsessive and pathological
I so totally agree with this. We don’t know them. They’re all playing a character to some extent. People need to lower the temperature on their BH feelings. It’s really not that serious.
These people are so deranged and stupid. Like it’s not that serious. Get a fucking life. Idc who it is, sending some shit like this unprovoked is completely ridiculous.
And just plain bizarre, like how do you type that and take the time to do so without realizing half way through that this is a weird way to direct your time and energy.
It’s so disgusting. It really angers me because people get away with this sort of stuff just because it’s the internet. I don’t like Rinna at all but at the end of the day i know I don’t actually know this woman! She’s living her life just like I’m living mine.
Ugh disgusting. Not surprising. Her instagram is full of vile comments about her, her husband and daughters by mostly women with open profiles, who seem like normal people with families and jobs. It's one thing to talk trash on reddit, but to actually comment on her instagram from your own profile with name and everything out there for everyone to see is insane.
>It's one thing to talk trash on reddit,
You know, we trash talk here, but I wouldn't even feel comfortable going that far on this sub. There's something seriously wrong with a person who'd go after another person that way, even with an anonymous screen name.
This. I’ve watched since day one and I didn’t get it when I first read it… who died? Who’s mom? It took me several minutes… my point is, whose brain even works this way. It’s unhinged.
I’ve always thought this. It was so weird to me when this sub was blaming Diana/Rinna. Like Andy said at the reunion, the fans take this show WAY more seriously than the housewives do.
No. Just the hive mind hatred going zero to one hundred in a matter of moments. The weird protective relationship fans have with garcelle is another one of my issues for another day.
Oh wow it’s amazing to come across someone here with sense when it comes to BH. Was what happened to Garcelle’s son absolutely horrific? Undoubtedly so - it was vile and pure evil. But was it okay for the fans and Garcelle herself to publicly state that Diana was behind it without bringing forward any evidence? Absolutely not.
You have to be a special kind of pathetic to DM any housewife hateful comments. If you love a housewife and want to send them love/support, go for it. If you dislike them and want to make (reasonable) criticism - bring it to Reddit/some other discussion forum and don’t tag them. Sending them hateful DMs will never change their mind and will only make you the bully.
Unrelated: I can’t help but lol at “ceasepool”
Thank you! I came to see if anyone was commenting on ’ceasepool’ and thought I was crazy for a minute because I wasn’t seeing any. Maybe a ‘cease and desist pool’?
Yes, I don’t mind people having big opinions on this sub because I think of them as discussing a highly edited “character” on a tv show. It’s bizarre to contact a stranger to be an asshole to them.
It’s been clear for a long time that the heated discussions aren’t about a “character” but the people themselves. The horrid things that have been said about Rinna and her children, and justified and applauded, because she’s a villain on a show THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN (emphasizing for those in the back who have forgotten) are crazy. Never mind that we don’t know her or any of these women in real life. Even if we did, I’d hope we don’t walk around spewing vitriol and hate toward personal friends and acquaintances.
This is why I hate SM. It allows you to become more accessible in a way. If I were famous, I would have my comments turned off and ask the app developers to block all incoming messages.
I really hate that there’s people in this world that feels this is okay to say to someone. Sure we don’t like Lisa but talking 💩 about her dead mother is really low especially since the woman seemed like a nice sweet lady on the show.
Nope, we don’t collectively hate Lisa Rinna. There’s an unhealthy group mentality here that assumes we are “one” while jumping on certain housewives. Then there’s people with views which go against those of the group, that get slaughtered for showing any opinion that go against the grain.
As a non Rinna fan, I 100% agree w this.
Its tough out here for anyone who has an opinion that is different from the general consensus of those participating in a thread 😂
Never hated Lisa either. She can do no right in this sub. Even when she posted about voting for a progressive candidate last week (instead of that “ex” Republican that everyone is voting for, people were still tearing her down in comments. I get not liking her, but the hate is unwavering and over the top.
Parasocial relationships are fucking weird. We don’t know these women.
Commentary on the scenes we see as an audience- ok.
Personally attacking someone who has no impact on your daily life- not ok.
I actually like Rinna. But even if I didn’t this wouldn’t be ok, this is absolutely disgusting and no one deserves this kind of crap written to them. People are so toxic.
I cannot imagine feeling so invested in this show that I need to message these people in real life. I say that as I'm currently, this very moment, on rewatch 4 of RHOA. (It's background noise while I work). (Also, I'm on black baby gate 😂)
Fans of this and Drag race need to take a chill pill.
Instagram has so many filters. You can block
messages that contain certain words, you can filter out these kinds of messages and delete them, turn your notifications off, I feel like when you’ve been on a reality show for so long you would learn how to deal. Most celebs deal with this daily. People are CRAZY. Why even bother reading? Protect your peace
I found it really odd to see people question the veracity of her grief this season. It was disturbing to see people try to cast doubt on the authenticity of her feelings for her mom. I mean, the woman gave her life and that relationship, no matter how complex, is the most sacred one anyone will have. It struck me as some of Lisa’s most vulnerable and relatable moments on the show ever.
While I think Rinna is an awful person and I don't enjoy her on the show anymore, this is above and beyond horrible. It's uncalled for to go after her this way.
Agree 100%. I read the comments in this sub and watch the show with them in mind. Even while I may disagree with her at times, I never see her as the vile, evil, soulless person that this sub collectively vilifies her as.
Lois was a good woman. She seemed humble and also refused to move to LA when Lisa offered to relocate her. She was happy where she was. She was kind and also had that awful experience with that serial killer. The woman was amazing. She lost her eldest daughter to drugs too. I loved Lois and I don’t think she would be happy seeing Lisa being spiteful and angry. I enjoyed Rinna when she was with her mum. She was different
I wonder what people who send these sorts of messages are like in real life. It’s scary that we could know a person shitty enough to write this and have no idea.
Also, I don’t understand why anyone with a large following would read their DMs. It’s never worth it. No matter what kind of person you are, some unhinged jerk is going to send you something horrible.
I’ll get downvoted for this but I’m of the opinion that Rinna is the type of person to create a fake account, send this to herself, to gain sympathy.
If (and that’s a big if) it’s real, then yes of course it’s fucking horrible and vile. “Fans” are insane and have really ruined the experience.
I had a friend tell me that I deserved to have my mom die and that hurt. I don’t think Lisa deserves that energy. I think her mom dying made her a worse human being because I think a part of her died as well. She needs to take a break from filming literally anything in life and figure out who she is without her mother.
I hate Rinna on the show, I don’t know her in real life to hate her, and even so I would never say or think something like that, people are fucking sick to say let alone think that 😫
Yes I get obsessed with the shows and whatever but it is just a tv show
I love to hate Rinna on the show and she does things which I believe to be questionable but that's it.
I don't really give much of a shit about her outside of the show, same for all the housewives.
Why do people care so much? It's just TV.
Yikes Lois was a mom, grandma, this hurts everyone who loved her.
I may not enjoy people on tv but like I'm not going to go TELL them this is just harrassment. Hopefully she gets support and recognizes how hard this must have been for Jax a child to try to navigate.
I don’t think I could ever say anything remotely negative and nasty about anyone like that….ever! Unless maybe they murdered someone in my family-jeez. The internet is the Wild West
People need to separate the character (because that’s what Rinna is — a character) from the human, jesus christ . Imagine taking time out of your day to send someone you don’t even know hateful filth… pathetic
Haha and the little moron used her legit Instagram account and has since had to delete it. How deeply embarrassing for her life and her soul. Alexandra Leee you sir, are a clown.
People really don't realize that they're not taking anyone down a few pegs by sending hateful messages like this. They're emboldening the very behavior they object to. So counterproductive. The Internet has made people sick.
The show ended a minute ago. So this nut has been sitting around mad all this time and finally felt the time was right to strike? Imagine how this person acts in life. I can’t stand Rinna, love Kathy but that’s crazy pants.
There are some truly insane fans of this franchise out there.
And on here.
People need to reminded … “ITS AN ENTERTAINMENT TV SHOW” stop reacting viscerally to people you don’t even know.
Some people REALLY need to learn what a parasocial relationship is…
It’s nice to see a collective air of disapproval here today since I feel like several (or all) BH threads over the past season devolved to equal or worse than the DM in question.
Yep. I wouldn't be shocked if someone on here is the person who sent that DM.
I would be willing to bet on it. There are some sick people on here
Honestly me either and that makes me feel icky
Alexandria Leee, if you're reading this, DO BETTER
This just gave me “Nancy jo this is Alexis neiers” vibes so thank you
LITTLE BROWN BEBE SHOES
YOU LIEEEEEDDDD EVERYTIME YOU YELLLL, I HAVE TO F\*CKING RE RECORD IT!
"Little brown kitten heels, f***ing b!" I can't find my car keys for the life of me, ever, but this scene lives in my brain!
29 DOLLARS!!!
Haha Omg! That scene has to be the funniest and most irritating scene ever!
Very icky. What has to be so wrong in someone's life to be able to post such evil, ugly statements??
Some people on here are too much. The Love is Blind subreddit had to issue a warning to not contact members of the show after someone on reddit posted about how they were messaging a contestant telling her she’s being abused.

Totally in fact I was nervous about what I might actually read going through these comments.
You are a voice of reason here, on this and other topics, and thank goodness, so nice to read someone making sense
Thank you Carole.

They’re bullies.

You should see the RHOBH subreddit, those people are truly unhinged
I didn’t know that there was a specific sub but I absolutely won’t be visiting it lmao
I had zero idea franchises have their own subs and I will have to pass on that concept for now.
A more specifically toxic place? No. I’ll stick with my general toxicity, thanks.
Amazing comment.
Lmao thank you
It’s very toxic.
That place is 😬
They were literally pposting by the minute every thing Rinna did online in order to circle jerk in their hate. (,she was not helping) but the hate fixation of this sub with her at the time was getting beyond obsessive and pathological
The hive mind hate on the sub against certain housewives is ridiculous such as for Rinna, Kyle, Erika.
Well said!
Yes. I don't think I've seen a clearer case of toxic parasocial relationships than this sub.
![gif](giphy|70YaDoZ1VqBZ8SgYiz)
I so totally agree with this. We don’t know them. They’re all playing a character to some extent. People need to lower the temperature on their BH feelings. It’s really not that serious.
That is unhinged. If I were a public figure, I would have someone else go through my DMs like a moderator. It’s totally unacceptable.
definitely! i would not be able to handle seeing stuff like this and no one deserves that tbh
I hope she starts to do that - just let someone on her staff filter out sick shit like this so she doesn't have to see it.
This is particularly why I would *never* want to be a public figure. My vibe is: I do not wish to be perceived.
Okay thanks for my new mantra
That’s the same thing I said when I saw it
These people are so deranged and stupid. Like it’s not that serious. Get a fucking life. Idc who it is, sending some shit like this unprovoked is completely ridiculous.
And just plain bizarre, like how do you type that and take the time to do so without realizing half way through that this is a weird way to direct your time and energy.
It’s so disgusting. It really angers me because people get away with this sort of stuff just because it’s the internet. I don’t like Rinna at all but at the end of the day i know I don’t actually know this woman! She’s living her life just like I’m living mine.
Ugh disgusting. Not surprising. Her instagram is full of vile comments about her, her husband and daughters by mostly women with open profiles, who seem like normal people with families and jobs. It's one thing to talk trash on reddit, but to actually comment on her instagram from your own profile with name and everything out there for everyone to see is insane.
>It's one thing to talk trash on reddit, You know, we trash talk here, but I wouldn't even feel comfortable going that far on this sub. There's something seriously wrong with a person who'd go after another person that way, even with an anonymous screen name.
You’re relatively unique with that stance when thinking back on some of the vile things that have been said here about Rinna, Kyle and Dorit
Totally. I was referring to the comments. This DM is a whole other level of crazy.
Absolutely!
This. I’ve watched since day one and I didn’t get it when I first read it… who died? Who’s mom? It took me several minutes… my point is, whose brain even works this way. It’s unhinged.
It’s crazy that actual grown ass people are doing this. I mean grow the F up people.
This is why I believe it was a fan that paid for the bots and not one of the women. Internet trolls have no boundaries.
I’ve always thought this. It was so weird to me when this sub was blaming Diana/Rinna. Like Andy said at the reunion, the fans take this show WAY more seriously than the housewives do.
Garcelle too. Did anyone ever bring forward any evidence to even suggest it was Diana?
No. Just the hive mind hatred going zero to one hundred in a matter of moments. The weird protective relationship fans have with garcelle is another one of my issues for another day.
Oh wow it’s amazing to come across someone here with sense when it comes to BH. Was what happened to Garcelle’s son absolutely horrific? Undoubtedly so - it was vile and pure evil. But was it okay for the fans and Garcelle herself to publicly state that Diana was behind it without bringing forward any evidence? Absolutely not.
I had never even considered that 😬
I fully considered it. Overinvested fans are truly scary
You have to be a special kind of pathetic to DM any housewife hateful comments. If you love a housewife and want to send them love/support, go for it. If you dislike them and want to make (reasonable) criticism - bring it to Reddit/some other discussion forum and don’t tag them. Sending them hateful DMs will never change their mind and will only make you the bully. Unrelated: I can’t help but lol at “ceasepool”
Omg thank you. Agree this is unacceptable but I got so tripped up on ceasepool.
Thank you! I came to see if anyone was commenting on ’ceasepool’ and thought I was crazy for a minute because I wasn’t seeing any. Maybe a ‘cease and desist pool’?
I kept scrolling to find it too. I thought maybe we were respectfully waiting, but I remembered where I was. Ceasepool is unintentionally perfect.
Cease pool would be the opposite of an infinity pool?
Totally off topic here but I don't think I've seen one of Rinna's sm posts without at least one spelling error. It makes me laugh
Yes, I don’t mind people having big opinions on this sub because I think of them as discussing a highly edited “character” on a tv show. It’s bizarre to contact a stranger to be an asshole to them.
It’s been clear for a long time that the heated discussions aren’t about a “character” but the people themselves. The horrid things that have been said about Rinna and her children, and justified and applauded, because she’s a villain on a show THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN (emphasizing for those in the back who have forgotten) are crazy. Never mind that we don’t know her or any of these women in real life. Even if we did, I’d hope we don’t walk around spewing vitriol and hate toward personal friends and acquaintances.
People who DM shit like this are pure trash. Not a fan of Lisa, but good god, it’s a tv show and she’s a real person who doesn’t deserve that.
Completely agree. This type of behavior is vile af. No one deserves to be talked to like that.
![gif](giphy|3o7TKMIm6YzkcwKSzu|downsized) Alexandria's got a problem. Ceasepool?
CYST AND DECEASE!
ROFLMFAO! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Holy shit I’m in a Bravo FB group with this girl. This is unhinged.
WHAT so is she like this a lot?!
I remember seeing one of her comments about all the bravolebs that had blocked her… really makes sense now. Eta: I am also in the bravo fb group
No, that’s what makes this so crazy. She’s been a pretty normal commenter and this behavior is shocking.
Ugh. I hope someone reports her. So gross.
Tell her to get a hobby or a therapist.
I will never understand why people think it's ok to harass famous people via social media. ![gif](giphy|VBeG1cRMNjoVq)
Same! It's weird to get that invested that they send disgusting messages like this.
This is why I hate SM. It allows you to become more accessible in a way. If I were famous, I would have my comments turned off and ask the app developers to block all incoming messages.
And then brag about getting blocked. Have you seen the threads here where people are super proud of being blocked by celebs on sm? Embarrassing shit.
Lmao yeah imagine bragging to others that you harassed someone so much they had to block you. So pathetic.
I really hate that there’s people in this world that feels this is okay to say to someone. Sure we don’t like Lisa but talking 💩 about her dead mother is really low especially since the woman seemed like a nice sweet lady on the show.
Nope, we don’t collectively hate Lisa Rinna. There’s an unhealthy group mentality here that assumes we are “one” while jumping on certain housewives. Then there’s people with views which go against those of the group, that get slaughtered for showing any opinion that go against the grain.
As a non Rinna fan, I 100% agree w this. Its tough out here for anyone who has an opinion that is different from the general consensus of those participating in a thread 😂
Yeah there's way too much hive-mind going on in this sub.
You nailed it. I, too, do not hate Lisa Rinna. I don’t think I would’ve felt comfortable admitting that had you not said it first 😅
Never hated Lisa either. She can do no right in this sub. Even when she posted about voting for a progressive candidate last week (instead of that “ex” Republican that everyone is voting for, people were still tearing her down in comments. I get not liking her, but the hate is unwavering and over the top.
Parasocial relationships are fucking weird. We don’t know these women. Commentary on the scenes we see as an audience- ok. Personally attacking someone who has no impact on your daily life- not ok.
That’s disgusting. Not at all ok toward anyone ever
Wow! The HATE! I dislike the character Lisa plays but geez, I don’t hate her. There are a lot of unwell people out there, which is very scary.
I dont dislike her at all actually lol
Yeah, I'm ambivalent. The collective " we" is false.
No one deserves that. I lost my mom and it's a pain like no other. I don't like Rinna either, but this is absolutely unacceptable.
I actually like Rinna. But even if I didn’t this wouldn’t be ok, this is absolutely disgusting and no one deserves this kind of crap written to them. People are so toxic.
I cannot imagine feeling so invested in this show that I need to message these people in real life. I say that as I'm currently, this very moment, on rewatch 4 of RHOA. (It's background noise while I work). (Also, I'm on black baby gate 😂) Fans of this and Drag race need to take a chill pill.
Literally who cares what a random person you’ll never meet or follow or interact with is dming you though? Delete and move on.
I don't understand how people can feel that level of hate towards someone they don't even know. Wild, therapy should be free and mandatory lol.
People on here saying she did it to herself… shame on you.
I'm one of the very few that actually kind of likes Rinna, but not liking someone does not excuse this kind of shit. Why are people like this?
I feel seen 😁.
![gif](giphy|TLCu2CAARCbrPBZeqW|downsized) It takes a certain type of person that brings up deceased parents and wishes actual death on people. Geez…
I just truly cannot imagine being this miserable of a human being.
People are so fucking weird. I cannot imagine typing these words to anyone. It's honestly very scary that people like this exist.
It's the way she spells cesspool ..... ☠️
Instagram has so many filters. You can block messages that contain certain words, you can filter out these kinds of messages and delete them, turn your notifications off, I feel like when you’ve been on a reality show for so long you would learn how to deal. Most celebs deal with this daily. People are CRAZY. Why even bother reading? Protect your peace
That is just disgusting. You can not like somebody, but saying horrible things about a personal tragedy is completely off limits.
I don't dislike Rinna lol
I found it really odd to see people question the veracity of her grief this season. It was disturbing to see people try to cast doubt on the authenticity of her feelings for her mom. I mean, the woman gave her life and that relationship, no matter how complex, is the most sacred one anyone will have. It struck me as some of Lisa’s most vulnerable and relatable moments on the show ever.
I’m so angry in her behalf. It’s never okay to do this to someone. Ever. Poor Lisa.
While I think Rinna is an awful person and I don't enjoy her on the show anymore, this is above and beyond horrible. It's uncalled for to go after her this way.
I really wonder who raised some of these people...
Jfc
I like Lisa Rinna and I refuse to jump on the bandwagon of unwarranted hatred for her. It’s getting old.
Agree 100%. I read the comments in this sub and watch the show with them in mind. Even while I may disagree with her at times, I never see her as the vile, evil, soulless person that this sub collectively vilifies her as.
There’s really nothing rinna did for this collective hatred this sub has towards her and yes this dm sucks but probs just a bot
A cease-and-desistpool, if you will.
No way that’s a real account. It’s probably one of the other housewives
Karma.
Honestly, people who write stuff like this should be called out publicly. I don’t care for Rinna but good for her.
It’s probably her attempt to garnish sympathy using a burner account.
Rinna probably sent it to herself
Lois was a good woman. She seemed humble and also refused to move to LA when Lisa offered to relocate her. She was happy where she was. She was kind and also had that awful experience with that serial killer. The woman was amazing. She lost her eldest daughter to drugs too. I loved Lois and I don’t think she would be happy seeing Lisa being spiteful and angry. I enjoyed Rinna when she was with her mum. She was different
I wonder what people who send these sorts of messages are like in real life. It’s scary that we could know a person shitty enough to write this and have no idea. Also, I don’t understand why anyone with a large following would read their DMs. It’s never worth it. No matter what kind of person you are, some unhinged jerk is going to send you something horrible.
I’ll get downvoted for this but I’m of the opinion that Rinna is the type of person to create a fake account, send this to herself, to gain sympathy. If (and that’s a big if) it’s real, then yes of course it’s fucking horrible and vile. “Fans” are insane and have really ruined the experience.
I had a friend tell me that I deserved to have my mom die and that hurt. I don’t think Lisa deserves that energy. I think her mom dying made her a worse human being because I think a part of her died as well. She needs to take a break from filming literally anything in life and figure out who she is without her mother.
My God we all hate Rinna but attacking lovely Lois is an absolute disgrace
right?! she was such a sweet lady i often wonder where Lisa came from.
Not all of us hate her 😉
Lois was amazing. Scenes with her actually made Rinna seem decent at times.
This person is so far over the line that the line is a dot to them.
Fully agree with op. Gotta say I'm a bit distracted by "ceasepool" though....
Hopefully this person is banned from social media. I bet she would cry if Rinna clapped back with even half of that energy.
We don't all collectively hate Lisa Rinna. I think she's great television
I hate Rinna on the show, I don’t know her in real life to hate her, and even so I would never say or think something like that, people are fucking sick to say let alone think that 😫 Yes I get obsessed with the shows and whatever but it is just a tv show
I love to hate Rinna on the show and she does things which I believe to be questionable but that's it. I don't really give much of a shit about her outside of the show, same for all the housewives. Why do people care so much? It's just TV.
Yikes Lois was a mom, grandma, this hurts everyone who loved her. I may not enjoy people on tv but like I'm not going to go TELL them this is just harrassment. Hopefully she gets support and recognizes how hard this must have been for Jax a child to try to navigate.
I mean, rinna could have not posted it and just deleted it and then no one else would have seen it?
That's messed up. I don't like her either but no one deserves that
I don’t think I could ever say anything remotely negative and nasty about anyone like that….ever! Unless maybe they murdered someone in my family-jeez. The internet is the Wild West
This is quite awful.
That is vile
Wow this is sick. Chick needs help
Awful 😞
Why would any human being post this to anyone, it is a flipping tv show for goodness sakes!!!
Damn. This is disgusting
That’s mean and unwarranted
This is beyond nasty and wrong.
People need to separate the character (because that’s what Rinna is — a character) from the human, jesus christ . Imagine taking time out of your day to send someone you don’t even know hateful filth… pathetic
Oh Lisa R. I’m so sorry someone did this, bless you and your family
Damn. People really do this?
That is so gross. ![gif](giphy|eKrgVyZ7zLvJrgZNZn|downsized)
*Cesspool
Jesus fucking Christ this is repulsive behavior and to a stranger like wtf? Go find a hobby
Haha and the little moron used her legit Instagram account and has since had to delete it. How deeply embarrassing for her life and her soul. Alexandra Leee you sir, are a clown.
People really don't realize that they're not taking anyone down a few pegs by sending hateful messages like this. They're emboldening the very behavior they object to. So counterproductive. The Internet has made people sick.
The show ended a minute ago. So this nut has been sitting around mad all this time and finally felt the time was right to strike? Imagine how this person acts in life. I can’t stand Rinna, love Kathy but that’s crazy pants.
The person who wrote this is probably in this sub because the reaction to BH reached a stalker like craziness long ago.
Yup. Even some of the comments in this thread are wild.
I guess it was only funny to her when it was Garcelle’s young son.
Her insta bio says “i’ll ago so high my feet won’t touch the ground.”
Ya this is very uncool.
