Lisa Rinna Reveals Why She Said ‘No Thanks’ to BravoCon and Bravo Producers

Lisa Rinna may be gone from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but she’s still very much part of the Bravo conversation. On a new episode of her “Let’s Not Talk About the Husbands” podcast, which she co-hosts with husband Harry Hamlin, the actress revealed that Bravo invited her to BravoCon 2025 — and she turned it down flat.

“I got invited to BravoCon,” Lisa admitted, before immediately shutting down the idea. When Harry asked if she planned to attend, she laughed and said, “No… I just think it’s pretty funny that I would get invited, and I’m not even sure why. Why out of the blue would I all of a sudden get invited to BravoCon when I’m not back on the show?”

Harry had his own theory: “You’re a hot property. They would love to have you there for ratings. They can say, ‘Oh, Lisa Rinna’s gonna be at BravoCon.’”

Lisa wasn’t having it. “Well, they can’t say that now. I said, ‘No, thanks.’”

She also reflected on her last BravoCon appearance, where she infamously walked onstage with her middle finger in the air — and was promptly booed. “Erika [Jayne] warned me before we went out,” Lisa recalled. “She goes, ‘You know, they might boo you.’ And sure enough, they did.”

Why Lisa Rinna Refused Filming at Alexia Umansky’s Wedding

Lisa also spilled on another Bravo moment she recently declined. The “RHOBH” alum said she was asked by producers to be filmed at Alexia Umansky’s wedding — but she wasn’t interested in mixing real life with reality TV this time around.

“I did get a little text message this week saying ‘call me,’ one of the producers of the show,” Lisa explained. “He said, ‘We’re going to film a little bit at the wedding, can we film you?’ And I said, ‘No, you can’t film me.’”

Lisa clarified that while she attended the wedding — which wasn’t labeled as a filmed event on the invite — she refused to sign a release. “I’m going and supporting without being filmed… they’ll have to blur me out. And honestly, it gave me a nice satisfaction.”

The former Housewife noted her kids grew up with the Umanskys, so attending was important to her personally, even if she wasn’t willing to let Bravo cameras roll.

Of course, Lisa’s shade toward the franchise didn’t stop there. Earlier this year, she clashed with Andy Cohen on “Andy Cohen Live” after calling the current “RHOBH” season the “Titanic.” While she tried to apologize, Andy wasn’t buying it, telling her it felt more like an “old school Housewife apology — a non-apology apology.”
