    Lisa Rinna almost "strangled" Kim Richards on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

    The 62-year-old star, who quit the reality show in 2022, has reflected on the castmate's infamous feud, which culminated in Amsterdam on a girls' trip back in 2015, when she threw wine in Kim's face and then smashed the wine glass.


    She told Entertainment Tonight: "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.

    "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 admitted watching the row back now feels like a "character" rather than her true self as she is now.

    She explained: "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."

    Before the trip, tensions had built up, but everything took a turn when Lisa questioned Kim's sobriety, which didn't go down well.

    Referencing Lisa's partner Harry Hamlin, she replied "Let's talk about the husband."

    Lisa was furious and shouted "don't you ever talked about my husband" before throwing the wine in her face, and smashing the glass on the table.

    Over a decade later, Lisa acknowledged the explosive scenes are "one of the best pieces of television", and the breaking point wasn't something that simmered over an evening.

    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."
