Lisa Rinna Accuses ‘RHOBH’ Star of Running a Troll Farm to Ruin Her QVC Business and Reputation!
Lisa Rinna recently opened up on her podcast about how online trolls impacted her business with QVC — going as far as accusing one of her former castmates of orchestrating the hate campaign against her.
Alongside her husband, Harry Hamlin, 73, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed that QVC executives were stunned by the backlash she received and admitted that the overwhelming negativity played a major role in her decision to walk away from the Bravo hit.
Lisa and Harry Claim QVC Business Was Attacked by Trolls
During a recent episode of Let’s Not Talk About the Husband, Lisa Rinna and Harry reflected on how online harassment nearly derailed their QVC success.
“It’s incredible — the number of trolls that are created by that show,” Harry said. “We had a huge business on QVC destroyed by trolls.”
Lisa, however, clarified that while the business wasn’t fully “destroyed,” it was significantly impacted.
“They came after us, and we had to, like, make some phone calls and sh*t,” she explained.
According to Harry, QVC’s corporate team had “never seen anything like” the flood of negative messages Lisa received, all seemingly tied to the drama unfolding on RHOBH.
“They got scared,” Lisa admitted.

Rinna Suggests a Former ‘RHOBH’ Star Was Behind It
The reality star then dropped a bombshell — alleging that a specific cast member was responsible for unleashing an army of online trolls against her.
“Remember, there was someone in charge of those trolls, and we had to address it, and we did,” Lisa stated.
Harry backed up her claim, adding, “There was somebody on the show that had an army of trolls that they unleashed on you.”
The couple stopped short of naming the alleged culprit, but their accusations have fueled speculation among RHOBH fans.
The Fan Backlash That Drove Lisa to Quit
Lisa Rinna, who starred on the reality series for eight seasons, confirmed her departure in January 2023. Now, she’s revealing that the relentless hate from viewers played a major role in her decision to leave.
“That’s probably the biggest reason why I’m no longer there — because of the fanbase and where it went. It’s not worth it. That’s why I left,” she shared.
She also recalled receiving an alarming number of death threats, particularly during her final season on the show.
“I had quite a lot of death threats if you remember the last season,” she said. “It just got to be too much because I had lost my mom, and I was in a great stage of grief, and it was just too much.”
Lisa went on to say that, despite the backlash, her exit ultimately felt like the right move.
“It was too f*cking much. I couldn’t do it,” she admitted.
Looking Back at Her Time on RHOBH
Lisa officially announced her departure from RHOBH in early 2023, telling PEOPLE at the time that she was grateful for her time on the show but ready to move on.
“This is the longest job I have held in my 35-year career, and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series,” she shared. “It has been a fun eight-year run, and I am excited for what is to come!”
While Lisa Rinna has since moved on from the franchise, her latest claims suggest that the drama is far from over.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
