Before we get all into this, let’s ponder for a sec, like what’s the correlation between reality tv fame and the stars aligning? I mean, if the stars can’t control the weather, what makes us think they control our love life or fame or whatever… but… hold onto your astrological hats, because we’re diving into the cosmic mess of it all.
Ever felt like the universe just wants to have a laugh at your expense? Well, imagine that but you’re on national TV with a mic. That’s Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin’s life, but with an added dash of “nearly divorced”. Yeah, you heard me right. This is the story of how Lisa almost swapped her spot on Bravo for a split with Harry – but hey, who knew the stars had a plot twist in their favor?
So, here’s the tea:
Lisa Rinna, who’s usually rocking some killer shades and an even more bomb hair, was on the verge of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. A move that had us all like, “Is this reality, or are we just living in dramaland?” She was all in, seeing dollar signs and fame… but Harry? He saw red and not the good kind, ya know? He was ready to dial his lawyer over this “absolutely not” move.
But hold up, let’s channel our inner Bethenny Frankel here (Mercury retrograde vibes anyone?). Despite the initial drama and all the divorce talk, it turns out Lisa had the foresight of a Sagittarius. She saw the business potential, the monetizing of fame, and she floated the idea. And like a true game-changer, the producers came back with an offer she couldn’t refuse.
The Cosmic Swing
Now, we all know relationships are tougher than a Capricorn’s soft side. Yet, even with threats of divorce thrown around like confetti, their marriage managed to withstand the reality TV hurricane. Here we are, years later, and they’re still going strong – enough for Harry to crack jokes about getting a new wife every day due to Lisa’s constant style shifts. I mean, does anyone else feel like reality TV can either make or break you?
And speaking of the stars aligning, with all that’s been happening in their marriage, maybe their real test was surviving the Leo season drama on TV. Who knows? But isn’t it funny how fame can do that? It’s like a cosmic test – are you gonna let it fry your relationship or upgrade it?
So, next time you’re thinking of signing up for reality TV, just remember – your stars might align like Lisa’s or you might just find yourself in a different kind of show – the divorce saga. But if you’ve got the Midas touch like Lisa… hey, why not give it a whirl? Or as they say in the world of SEO, if you rank, you bank.

Now, let’s rank those stars, shall we? 🌟✨
…and don’t we all just love a good comeback, especially when it comes with a side of gossip? Catch you on the flip side, folks.Reading Time: 4 minutes
Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin nearly divorced over her Bravolebrity status.
It has been a hot minute since Rinna was part of the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
No matter the circumstances of her RHOBH exit, she was a key component in some of the series’ most memorable moments.
It almost didn’t happen at all. She almost wasn’t a Housewife. Or, alternatively, she almost wasn’t a wife.
During a recent appearance on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin spoke of her erstwhile career on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
It turns out that, early on, Hamlin didn’t think much of the nascent Bravo franchise. He actually threatened to divorce Rinna if she took the gig.
However, Rinna detailed how she saw the potential in reality television.
Even when she signed up, reality stars were able to monetize their fame by promoting their businesses and careers. She wanted to do the same.
“I knew that reality was really the place that was starting to happen,” Lisa Rinna recalled. “I was like, hmm this is interesting.”
She continued: “And then I started to see what the girls were doing on Housewives and how they were benefiting from it with their brands. And I thought, oh maybe this is a good idea.”
Instead of bringing it up directly, Rinna let producers come to her. “So I kind of floated the idea. They picked it up. They came to me and said, ‘Do you want to do the show?’”
“I went to Harry and said, ‘I think this might be a good idea. What do you think?’” Lisa Rinna narrated “He goes, ‘Absolutely not. I will divorce you if you do that show.’”
Harry Hamlin didn’t deny it.
“I did say that. I said I have my divorce lawyer on speed dial, which I do.” However, he soon changed his tune.
When Lisa Rinna brought up Bethenny Frankel’s brand success at the time, he began to warm to the idea.
“All I said was, ‘Okay, all I want you to do is just check out this person [Bethenny] and see what her business is like … [Harry and I] had a QVC business at the time,” Rinna clarified.
“Three days later, he comes back in the room and says, ‘Well I’ve been thinking…’” she described triumphantly.
Hamlin then chimed in: “I said, ‘If Bethenny Frankel can build a business like that, we can too. Maybe this is the way to do it.’”
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Harry Hamlin spoke more about his relationship with Lisa Rinna.
“We’ve always had a great relationship, it wasn’t even tested during the Housewives thing,” he confirmed.
Notably, some Bravo fans blame the “Housewives curse” for the end of marriages.
While sometimes, the film schedules or simply seeing their marriage from an external POV can hasten a union’s end, sometimes it’s just a coincidence.
Like RHOBH viewers in the past, Hamlin joked about Rinna’s ever-shifting style, quipping that he “gets a new wife every day” between her wigs and outfits.
“I recently did a show on Andy Cohen’s WWHL, and I did it with Kyle Richards, and I asked Kyle, I said, ‘So how many of the Housewives are still housewives?’” he recalled.
According to Harry Hamlin, Kyle had to think on it before realizing that very few of the current cast are traditional housewives.
