Lisa Rinna is clearing the air about the latest Bravo gossip surrounding her rumored feud with Colton Underwood.
While celebrating the launch of her new memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Going to Talk About It,” Lisa addressed reports that Colton walked off the set during the taping of the “The Traitors” season 4 reunion. The former “Bachelor” allegedly exited after a tense exchange with Lisa — but she says that’s not how she saw it.
Lisa Rinna Says Colton Didn’t ‘Storm Out’
In an interview with Variety, Lisa explained that she did see Colton leave the stage, but she didn’t interpret it as dramatic.
“I didn’t see it myself,” she said. “I saw him leave, but I saw other people leave too, to go to the bathroom and such, but it took a long time for people to come back. That I can share with you.”
Lisa also detailed what she claims was said during the taping.
“But let’s put it on the record, because they probably won’t air it, right?” she continued. “I said, ‘Colton, I have a question for you: What did you mean when you said, “I’m going to take her hostage?”’ That’s all I said. And that spun him out.”
However, Variety reported that a source present at the reunion taping disputed that narrative, stating that Colton “did not storm out or spin out at any point.”
Lisa described the chatter about their dynamic as “silly” and reminded viewers that “The Traitors” is ultimately a game.
“I never meant any harm,” she said. “Hopefully, we can all have a kumbaya moment.”
Colton Underwood’s Response and Social Media Drama
The tension between Lisa and Colton began during the season when Colton, playing as a Faithful, suspected Lisa was a Traitor. He proposed a deal to keep her “hostage,” offering protection from banishment if she shielded him from being “murdered.” After Lisa declined, Colton helped lead the charge to banish her.
When the episode aired, Lisa referenced past allegations made by Colton’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Randolph in a social media post, writing, “Let’s talk about you being a stalker…”
Colton later told Variety that his time on “The Traitors” led to fans sending him death threats — something Lisa firmly condemned.
“It’s just insane, and that is unnecessary,” she said. “I do think that’s ridiculous. I’m fine with Colton. I think Colton is also fine with me.”
She added one more detail that raised eyebrows.
“He did unfollow me on Instagram. So that is the drama,” she joked. “I’m like, ‘Really? somebody unfollowed me like a boyfriend, a girlfriend?’ ”
A representative for Colton told Variety, “Lisa has always been privately kind to Colton, which makes some of her public behavior all the more confusing — it doesn’t match their private communications, and it seems like she’s trying to manufacture conflict that doesn’t exist. Colton feels incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support he’s received from the cast.”
The season 4 finale of “The Traitors” drops Thursday, February 26 on Peacock.
