Lisa Rinna received criticism for reposting a Paris Hilton and Kathy Hilton meme on her Instagram story.
According to Buzzfeed, Rinna retweeted a post by @woke stan that slammed Kathy for labeling Rinna “Hollywood’s biggest bully” during the Wednesday broadcast of the third half of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 12 reunion.
The message began, “Kathy to Lisa: you are Hollywood’s biggest bully.”
It added, “Me to Kathy: you are the mother whose daughter was abducted in the middle of the night and subsequently abused.”
In addition, the article asserts that Kathy has “never apologized” to her daughter Paris.
In season 12 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards were at the heart of the controversy.

Paris has spoken out against the troubling teen business and claims she was abused at three different facilities to which she was transported. She told the Utah state senate in 2021 that she was “verbally, psychologically, and physically tortured on a regular basis” at Provo Canyon School when she was 16 years old.
“For the past 20 years, I’ve had a recurring nightmare in which I’m kidnapped by two strangers in the middle of the night, strip-searched, and locked in a facility,” she testified, according to Buzzfeed. “I wish I could say that this terrifying nightmare is only a dream, but it is not.”
In Utah, in March 2021, a measure (SB 127) asking for reform of residential care institutions for problematic adolescents was enacted in response to Paris’s testimony.
Paris told People at the time, “After experiencing abuse at Provo Canyon School, it has been incredibly empowering to advocate for and help pass SB 127 with Senator Mike McKell, a law that increases oversight of the led Teen Industry in Utah and places significant limits on the use of restraint, drugs, and seclusion rooms, among other methods.”
Rinna and Kathy have been locked in a public fight since this season’s disastrous trip to Aspen by the cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Many fans took Rinna’s posting of @woke stan’s meme as her weaponization of Paris’ trauma against Kathy, and some referred to it as “a new low.”

Rinna said she may be irresponsible on social media during part two of the season 12 reunion of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” which aired on October 19.
Cohen informed Rinna as she sat on the couch with her co-stars, “Lisa, I’ve spoken with you numerous times in private about this.”
Your social media accounts are disastrous.
Rinna frequently shared her thoughts on how storylines were portrayed to fans during the season via Instagram.
She criticized her fellow housewives and the show’s creators and published screenshots of her private text exchanges.
Cohen remarked to Rinna, “You lack impulse control.”
“You create so much difficulty for yourself. You publish something, only to later have to delete it “he added.
Rinna, Kathy Hilton, and Paris Hilton’s representatives did not immediately answer to Insider’s requests for comment.
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs on Bravo and Hayu in the United Kingdom every Wednesday. Wednesday saw the airing of the third and final segment of the season 12 reunion.
