The former fashion model commented on rumors that claimed she would not step foot on the show unless Lisa was gone during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis.
‘That is not true. I would be fine with working with Lisa and filming with her. I never said I wouldn’t come back with her,’ she revealed.
Denise also explained that Lisa did apologize over text after the rift. ‘She reached out to me, she sent me a text apologizing.’
‘There was a rumor that I never responded but I did respond, I responded right away,’ she added.
When talking about the Days Of Our Lives star during the Sirius XM interview, Denise stated, ‘I will say this. Lisa Rinna, she plays dirty, she can be really nasty, and so I think that’s just something to know about with her being on the show.’
On the topic if their friendship would ever have a chance of rekindling, the beauty admitted, ‘I don’t think I would ever. I could never be close friends with her after what happened.’
She went on to explain that, ‘As far as Lisa, if you apologize, which, she apologized to me while we were actually filming, but then she just went back to the same behavior.’
‘So it’s hard for me to actually believe that the apology is genuine,’ Denise concluded.
Lisa received blowback for her unfiltered opinions and social media posts during the second episode of the three-part RHOBH season 12 reunion on Wednesday.
The reunion host, Andy Cohen, took the 59-year-old actress-turned-reality star to task for having ‘no impulse control.’
‘Lisa, I have spoken to you about this privately many times,’ Andy, 54, began. ‘Your social media is disastrous.’
After he called out her lack of ‘impulse control,’ she admitted that she had ‘very, very little.’
Andy sounded more concerned than upset with Lisa, as if he was trying to keep her out of trouble with the network and her costars.
‘You make so much trouble for yourself. You post something and then you wind up having to delete it,’ he continued.
Among the most frustrating elements of her posting was house she would claim to be disengaging from RHOBH drama, only to return to lambasting her costars or even the crew that make the show.
‘A week or two ago, you posted, “I’m never posting about the Housewives of Beverly Hills,”‘ Andy reminded her, ‘And then yesterday, you’re posting up a storm about the reunion and what’s to come and [posting] text messages.’
But Lisa’s defense for her wild posting style was purely personal and short-term, as she said the high-risk behavior gives her a ‘dopamine high.’
But she also clarified to the host that she doesn’t ‘love’ stirring up so much drama on the long-running reality series.
‘It gives me anxiety. You post some s*** and I’m like, “What is she doing?” Like blaming production for things,’ Andy shot back, suggesting that she shouldn’t bite the hand that signs her checks.
Among Andy’s gripes against Lisa was her speculation that a producer on RHOBH had sicced a group of racist online bots against Garcelle Beauvais’s 14-year-old son Jax.
‘I try to just express myself and I do,’ she replied, without responding to the substance of the host’s complaint. ‘I don’t necessarily think that I’m doing something when I first do it that’s bad. Not always. And then sometimes I’m like, “F*** it.”‘
She continued, ‘Listen, I’m impulsive. We all know that. I am a work in progress when it comes to that and I’m going to get better. I will.’
Lisa’s contention that she will improve comes after she has made herself a contentious figure among fans of the series, who booed her during her appearance at BravoCon last week, according to Page Six.
Though Lisa seems to get a thrill out of her drama-stirring posts and pronouncements, she also seems to think she and the other Housewives need some time away from the show.
While speaking on stage with Derek Zagami for BravoCon, she had few kind words to say about the latest season, describing it as ‘f***ing rough’ and ‘horrible,’ via Page Six.
Her prescription for the next season was to give herself and the rest of the cast some time to decompress.
‘I need a— we need a break. We need time,’ she said, adding that everyone on the show need some ‘time to let it settle’ in order to ‘move forward.’
