BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Denise Richards and Lisa Rinna were close friends for around 20 years before a dramatic feud sabotaged their friendship. However, Denise seemed to reignite her ongoing feud with Lisa after she called her 'a****e'. During a recent appearance on Nick Viall's podcast, Denise was asked why she and Lisa are not friends anymore. She responded, "Because she's an 'a****e'. I mean that's why what did she so. You know it's really sad."

The Bravo star elaborated, "I was friends with her for 20 years. I think she got caught up with the being on the show and I think she was not at some point the person I knew." Denise also revealed that she last talked with Lisa when their mutual friend died. However, she also made sure that she was all ready to rekindle their friendship if Lisa called and apologised to her. She added, "But the thing was difficult for me was not only what she said on the show. She did a bunch of s**t on social media that I thought was so disgusting and not cool."

Lisa and Denise's friendship took a dramatic turn after the latter was rumoured to be romantically linked with Brandi Glanville. However, Denise dismissed the rumors as 'dumb' and 'stupid' and debunked the romance speculations with Brandi.

Will Lisa Rinna return to 'RHOBH'?

Lisa Rinna left 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' franchise reportedly because her contract with Bravo ended. However, the reality star made it clear that she had no intentions of renewing her contract. In the 'RHOBH' Season 13 premiere, viewers got a glimpse of a screenshot of Lisa's resignation email from Bravo.

The email reads, "I will not be renewing my contract and I will not be coming back to RHOBH. Thank you so much for 8 years!!!! All the best. Lisa." However, Lisa previously revealed that she left the Bravo show after her late mother, Lois Rinna, who died on November 15, 2021, came to her in a dream to advise her to quit the show.

She shared in an interview with ES magazine, "Who wants to leave a job?" She added, "But I think we all knew it was time. Eight years of that kind of show... What more could I have done, besides generate more memes?"
