“Own it, baby!”
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna was booed after she made a surprise appearance at BravoCon on Friday, according to multiple videos on social media.
The former model, 59, shocked fans when she made her way onto the stage during the “RHOBH” panel after not originally being slated to attend.
After a rather explosive season, she was met with both cheers and boos from the crowd while walking towards the stage to sit alongside castmates Crystal Kung Minkoff, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais and Erika Jayne.
In true Rinna fashion, she proceeded to flip off the crowd before sitting down next to Kung Minkoff, who was visibly uncomfortable.
“I’m a f—king rock star,” Rinna told Page Six and other outlets when asked about the booing incident after the panel.
Jayne and Kemsley also told us about the rather awkward moment, expressing how they felt when their close friend was received with such disdain.
Jayne, who herself has found herself on the other end of the crowds’ reaction, explained that it’s all part of the game.
“There’s no consoling Rinna. We are here in a live audience, and people do that. You get cheers, you get boos,” Jayne noted. “And that’s part of being a performer. She’s a performer. She knows what it is. We all know what this is, so the audience is allowed to feel whatever way they want to. Clap and boo. That’s part of a live audience.”
As for Kemsley, she described the moment as “intense.”
“Oh my God, it was so intense. Brad Goreski did an amazing job [moderating the panel]. I didn’t like when Lisa was booed,” she explained. “I didn’t like to see that at all. I mean, listen, it can get intense. The fans are intense. I don’t like the hecklers, but I do love the love.”
Fans have seemingly taken Kathy Hilton’s side amid her feud with Rinna, who made it her mission to expose the socialite for her “meltdown” during the cast trip to Aspen.
Following their feud, Hilton dubbed Rinna as the “biggest bully in Hollywood” during the show reunion.
Rinna clapped back at the socialite’s claims by posting an animated image of a red M&M with her signature hairdo, white gloves, diamond jewelry, and red heels to her Instagram with the caption, “The biggest bully in Hollywood, And everyone knows it.”
BravoCon is taking place through Oct. 16 at the Javits Center in New York City.
