Lisa Rinna shuts down Andy Cohen’s claim about envelope contents
Lisa Rinna is denying Andy Cohen’s claim about the mysterious envelope she brought to the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion.
“I had 2 envelopes. Not one,” Rinna captioned a photo on her Instagram Story on Tuesday of herself placing the manila sleeves behind her seat at the September taping.
“And they were filled with receipts,” she added. “And My bum looks good here.”
Cohen, 54, recently said Rinna, 59, brought only one envelope that contained receipts relating to an undisclosed feud that had nothing to do with her claims that Kathy Hilton had a “psychotic break” during Season 12.
However, in a second Story on Tuesday, the controversial cast member clarified that at least one of the two folders contained screenshots of text messages she sent when she witnessed Hilton’s alleged meltdown after the two left a club during the cast’s ill-fated trip to Aspen, Colo.
“I had two envelopes, and one had receipts from two text chains,” Rinna said in a kaleidoscope-esque video. “One I was texting with Erika [Jayne] because she asked me where I was and what had happened to me.”
The Rinna Beauty founder alleged Hilton’s half-sister Kyle Richards — who claimed at the time to not know what the socialite, 63, said in Aspen and did not want to find out — was with Jayne, 51, at the club and “knew exactly what was happening” and “what had just gone down” back at the house.
“Then the other was a text chain with my assistant and one of my best friends,” Rinna continued. “They were asleep, so I couldn’t reach them, so I was telling them exactly what had just happened in that house.”
The soap star shared that the group text alone was a total of eight printed pages.
“There you have it. Two envelopes — not one — two. Just keeping it real,” she ended the video.
Rinna’s side of the story comes one day after Cohen told fans that her singular envelope contained “receipts relating to the Elton John AIDS Foundation ticket snafu” — a feud between her and Sutton Stracke.
“We just wound up cutting it all out,” he explained in Monday’s episode of his SiriusXM show, “Andy Cohen Live,” before adding, “There were a lot of decisions made in the edit to cut down many conversations.”
Cohen has since responded to Rinna’s Instagram Stories, clarifying in Wednesday’s episode of his radio show that she never brought out the Aspen receipts, so he did not even know they existed until he saw her social media posts this week.
