As a housewife super fan, how devastated I am that you were no longer on the show.
What was that process? Like deciding not to be a part of the franchise?
Well, I think, you know, after eight years, I was a long time.
Eight years and my contract was up and I
had to decide whether I wanted to sign another,
you know, contract for years, and I thought, you know,
I think it's time to make a change and
change the channel, change the chapter. Put you on
you. No, no, no, no, no, we don't
know. I mean, there were so many moments over your eight years,
there were so memorable, so forgivable. I mean, the tear the wine glass, everything
looking back at it now,
do you think about those moments and you think of maybe
one iconic lisa read a moment from all those years?
I mean, you know, when you're in the a moment like that,
you don't know that it's happening, right?
You only then see the memes and the
Gifs and all that come later.
So the thing that people don't understand is that when you're in those moments
you don't think they're iconic, You're not thinking,
oh, my running down the street and that green dress
saying
this, oh my God, this is the twilight zone,
you don't see that in your mind going, oh, that is gonna become something
that's a meme, right?
Because Dorinda says that, by the way, when she famously said clip,
she didn't think about that, Of course not,
you're in the moment and whatever comes out comes out because, you know, it's it's
real, it's live what's not live, but it's real.
So I find it interesting what becomes a meme,
what becomes iconic and you laugh about that sometimes when you're like, wow,
that tear became
emails, work employees.
Listen, here's the story,
I was an actress for how many years before I
did this show and when I was an acting class,
I I had a girlfriend and neither one of us could cry, we could not cry.
You know, you would say I have cancer and I'm dying and I would be like, well,
what kind of cancer do you have?
And when are you dying? Like, I could not cry. So the fact that that happened
and that one tear came out,
I could never have done that as an actor. That's what's so fascinating,
because I don't I don't have the
that technique is not what I'm great at as an actor
as a reality star, honey,
That thing came down, like, so perfectly,
I just can't write it and I would have
never guessed that any of it would have happened.
So let's talk about, by the way, amazing, let's talk about rental wines here,
we're drinking the sparkly rose.
Yes, I think it's what you guys also drink on the show also,
um what made you to start with the sparkling wines first.
Well, I'll tell you why, because I wanted to do a rose
and then
I was doing a business deal with somebody and fell through.
And so then it takes another year to kind of get
back and try to find someone else to do business with.
By that time
the rose market was so saturated, I thought we can't do a rose.
And so as I met with prestige, who's my partner?
They said, let's do a sparkling because that
would be great.
And I said, all right, let's do it.
So we did the sparkling rose and then we do the sparkling brut, which again,
it's sparkling wine. So I feel like it's not so fancy as champagne.
It's got a light sparkle. You want to drink it every day. Like that's what this is.
This is an everyday wine. This is an everyday wine, honey.
This is for, you know, lunch with your girlfriend's husband at night.
This is not to be special, but yet it's special.
And it's supposed to just be fun and what's the creation process like this?
Because it's it's not easy to make a wine. It's not.
And I will tell you that you have to create the bottle,
the label
like the whole thing, you have to really, you know, and I've got my hands and all of it.
I would never just say, here do it.
And I said, the wine has to be made in Provence because that's where this came about.
We went on the show, we went to Provence, we went to the
the rose
um
what do you call it winery,
the wine tasting?
And it came, it was born out of that, you know,
and I thought we got to do this but we've got to make it right.
So, you know, it took a year, at least the process of getting the wine right,
getting the bottle, getting the label,
it's still
still happening.
You know, I still remember that episode because I remember Harry, hamlin took a sip.
He's like, we got a little bit more work, We still gotta. That's right on the brew.
Yes, I remember that and we did work more and now it's great. I love it. Okay.
The other thing you got is the rent a beauty line. What item would you say?
Everybody has to purchase it would almost think the lip part.
Well, it's, you know, it really began with the lips.
There's two things that I love the most, the lip liner. Everybody loves like so much.
They really love the lip liner. So the lip liner is great.
The thing about it is you buy a kit, you get the gloss, the lipstick and the lip liner.
So that's how it began. I think the Heidi Kit,
the Heidi Kit would be my first
purchase or the Delilah kit.
Those are like the two most popular
And then the lip plumping glosses.
Those are number one.
And so you want to buy a lip kit and a
lip plumping gloss and then you mix them all together.
So what's gonna be next for Lisa Rinna now that the show, you know,
you've got obviously the wines, you've got the beauty kit, but what's next?
What are we gonna see Lisa Rinna do next? I don't know.
It's, that's what's so exciting because you know, I've been around for 30
five years in his career and
I just think that
I want to do so much. I mean, I would like to be on white lotus.
I would like to do the next jennifer Coolidge. Let's just go.
I feel like we have to manifest it. You have to say it to make it.
Yeah, I mean, I would, I'd like to do that. I would like to do broadway again.
I would like to work with Ryan Murphy.
These are dreams.
These are dreams. Um,
I'd like to do another talk show. I love doing talk. I've never done a game show.
I've never hosted a game show. So that's something that's
unknown. I am just really excited to see what the next chapter is gonna bring.
I mean, right now, I'm like going to London tomorrow for Fashion Week, right?
We just saw you walking that one show just recently and
we're gonna see you do more of you looked amazing.
You know, I love this fashion thing more than anything.
I've always loved it so much and I hope so. It's so fun. I'm having such a good time.
I just, I don't know what's gonna be next. I don't I don't care.
That's fine.
By the way, whatever you do,
you're gonna be amazing at it because you know why you're a hustler?
I
am a hustler.
