<p id=”par-1_57″>Lisa Rinna and the other Housewives <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/teddi-mellencamp-spills-details-real-housewives-paychecks.html/”>received a salary</a> to appear on <em>RHOBH</em>. According to Rinna, though, this did little to make up for the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/lisa-rinna-co-stars-shocked-paid-hair-makeup-wardrobe-real-housewives.html/”>expense of appearing on the show</a>. Rinna said she wanted to look a certain way on television, which led to huge shopping bills. She claimed that her wardrobe nearly left her broke.</p>

<p id=”par-2_26″>The women on the <em>Housewives</em> franchises dress in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/lisa-rinna-interesting-fashion-choices-cheering-daughter-amelia-gray-paris-fashion-week.html/”>elaborate and expensive clothing</a>. Rinna said they spend a lot of money on their wardrobes for the show.</p>
<p id=”par-3_58″>“I don’t think fans of the <em>Housewives</em> franchises understand that we get ZERO clothing allowance, but we are expected to dress to the nines and never repeat outfits,” she wrote in her new book, <em><a href=”https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/you-better-believe-im-gonna-talk-about-it-lisa-rinna/1146861145″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It</a>. </em>“The producers just expect it. This unwritten rule can bankrupt a b**** if she’s not careful.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_10″>She added that almost her entire salary went towards clothing.</p>
<p id=”par-5_28″>“No one on Housewives is making any money. I can tell you that,” she wrote. “Because you’re spending it all. I spent most of my salary on clothes.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_37″>While she returned the dress she wore for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/rhobh-garcelle-beauvais-says-lisa-rinna-warned-her-about-doing-a-reunion.html/”>her first reunion</a>, she felt too guilty to do this again. As a result, she admitted that she almost went “broke” trying to buy “bazillion-dollar dresses” for each reunion.</p>
<p id=”par-7_23″>“After spending my life savings to look good on air, it’s probably a blessing in disguise that I left before bankruptcy,” she wrote.</p>

<p id=”par-8_46″>Overall, Rinna thinks her money was well spent. She doesn’t dislike any of the outfits she wore during her time on <em>RHOBH</em>. She didn’t feel the same way about her co-star, Sutton Stracke, though. She slammed Stracke as “living proof <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/rhobh-sutton-stracke-is-so-rich-she-insisted-on-flying-her-piano-to-her-new-home.html/”>that money can’t buy</a> you taste.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_8″>Rinna went on to insult Stracke’s overall appearance.</p>
<p id=”par-10_26″>“I’m happy to drag Sutton,” she wrote. “She’s frumpy, there’s no sex appeal about her whatsoever, and she’s got a weird body. So god bless her.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-she-has-no-plans-to-return-to-the-show”>She has no plans to return to the show</h2>
<p id=”par-11_29″>Rinna spent eight years on <em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em>. In her time, she became a divisive character. She said she has no regrets about her behavior, though. </p>
<p id=”par-12_81″>“Everyone always asks me if I have regrets about my behavior, especially during my last season,” she wrote. “I do not regret lashing out at Sutton [Stracke], or regret handling the Kathy [Hilton] of it all. I do not regret a minute of it. I was doing the best I could on a reality show a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/lisa-rinna-admitted-final-season-rhobh-mistake.html/”>couple days after my mom died</a>, and now that I look back on it, I say shame on them for the way they handled me.”</p>
