Lisa Rinna Almost Strangled Co-Star in Amsterdam Fight

has revealed that she nearly strangled her Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills co-star during a 'traumatic' and explosive row.   

A burning feud between the housewives came to a dramatic head during a girls' trip to Amsterdam back in 2015 and chaotic scenes saw Lisa furiously smashing a wine glass after throwing the contents in Kim's face. 

But now former housewife Lisa, 62, who stepped away from the show in 2022, has revealed that she threw the drink as a tactic to 'stop herself from strangling' Kim. 

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, Lisa said: 'I'd do it all over again, because I did stop myself. I was going across that table to, like, strangle her. 

'And I had a gift from God that literally said to me, "If you touch her, you will go to prison in Amsterdam". And I was like, oh, okay, right, and I backed off.'

She added: 'Because, yeah, you see that and then you see me back off. And I had so much in me. That's when I take the glass and do that, because I stopped myself.'

Lisa went on to say of the explosive row: 'I watch it now, like it's a character I'm watching. Really, you can't identify with me. It was really traumatic at the time. 

'You know I know we can laugh about it now - and kind of it's become its own meme and so I understand that - but at the time, it was really, really horrible, just for everyone. So we were all just so shook by it.'

'Now I have some space I can be like, "Oh my god, like, it's one of the best pieces of television".'

She added: 'I would say out there we sat down five minutes before that happened, that's another thing. 

'It wasn't like we were sitting there for a long time, it was five minutes. Boom. Wow. So it was hot.'

The pair's feud during season five of the Bravo show had been building before the trip and ramped up a notch when Lisa questioned Kim's sobriety.

Kim, who didn't appreciate Lisa's concern, replied, 'Let's talk about the husband' seemingly referring to Lisa's husband .

'Don't you ever talk about my husband!' an enraged Lisa replied as she leapt up from the table and lunged at Kim.

She then threw a drink at her face and smashed a wine glass on the table. 

During season seven things continued to escalate between the pair after Lisa had reportedly told former castmate Eden Sassoon that Kim was 'close to death' regarding her use of substances.

Denying it throughout the majority of the season, she eventually came clean to Kim and told her that she doubted her sobriety.

Trying to wipe the slate clean, Lisa decided to bring Kim a peace offering as she presented her with a bunny stuffed animal meant for her grandson. 

Though at the time she seemed to accept it from her, episodes later on the show's reunion she threw it right back at her which brought Lisa to tears.

It comes after Lisa accused one of her former co-stars of being Hollywood's 'biggest bully' in her new book, You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It.

While longtime fans may have expected her to name one of her fellow RHOBHdivas as the culprit, Lisa confirmed that her worst showbiz encounter actually took place in the early '90s on Days of Our Lives.

Lisa, who played Billie Reed on the soap opera, said that it was her on-screen love interest Bo Brady, played by Robert Kelker-Kelly, who made her life 'a living hell' on the set of the hit series. 

'Behind-the-scenes we hated each other,' she wrote in the book. 

'Remember when  said I was the biggest bully in Hollywood? Not true. Not even close! I have legit stories about the real bullies in this town. Robert Kelker-Kelly is one of those bullies,' she continued.

'He made my life a living hell on the set of Days. He was horrible to me. I’d go so far as to say verbally abusive. He was passive aggressive, manipulative, and played weird mind games.'

She added: 'I had to work with him every day, often half naked to do love scenes. If I didn't do what he wanted, he’d give me the silent treatment.

'He was a ticking time bomb. I never knew when I arrived on set each morning if I’d get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. He was unpredictable and it was exhausting.'

Lisa was relieved when he abruptly left the show and was replaced by Peter Reckell, who had originally played Bo Brady from 1983 to 1992. 

She then claimed that after his exit, both she and her co-star Kristian Alfonso, who played Robert's other love interest Hope Brady, were provided with a security team from NBC, although she did not think he was a threat and implied that the security unnecessary.

'Suddenly, one day, he disappeared from the Days set. Next thing I knew Kristian and I had our own full-time security detail,' she alleged. I wasn't worried about physical harm, but NBC had to cover their ass. We had rent-a-cops parked outside out houses and trailers for three weeks and were driven to and from work.'

NBC declined to respond when reached for comment. Kelker-Kelly has also been contacted for comment.
