The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna is addressing her “stalker” comment towards fellow The Traitors solid member Colton Underwood.
“Hi, guys, OK, so it’s come to my attention that my post that I responded to in my Housewife mode is taking over a lifetime of its own and it’s causing real problems for Colton and I are not looking for this because Colton and I are great,” Rinna, 62, said in a video shared via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, January 24.
“He was an excellent and is an excellent nemesis for me on the show in the sport,” the fact TV star continued. “Now, as you recognize, if you happen to ask me to be a Housewife I’ll bring it to you, right? That’s what I used to be doing, all in the secret. But just so you recognize, I’m totally great with Colton. I even have been texting with him. We talk. The whole lot is great.”
A day earlier, on Friday, January 23, Rinna called Underwood, 33, a “stalker, referring to the Bachelor alum’s past alleged harassment of ex-girlfriend Cassie Randolph.
(In September 2020, news broke that Randolph filed and was granted a restraining order against Underwood after she claimed he planted a tracker on her automotive and was harassing her. Randolph subsequently dropped the restraining order two months later and the pair settled their case privately.)
“Let’s discuss you being a stalker…” Rinna wrote on Friday, after a fan of the show posted a meme of the fact TV star from her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, warning Underwood to not make an enemy out of Rinna.)

“The undeniable fact that the backlash is occurring, I feel horrible about because I don’t need to hurt anybody,” Rinna continued in a second video shared on Saturday via Instagram. “I’m here to play the sport, to rejoice, and Colton is an excellent nemesis for me. We had a lot fun. I all the time, all the time had an excellent time with him. So please guys, be gentle. It’s a game. It’s a TV show. We’re all doing one of the best we will. Don’t send death threats or do anything to jeopardize someone’s family.”
Rinna went on to elucidate to fervent fans that her and Underwood “had a lot fun” filming the show, while admitting that her time on the fact competition series was “really hard.”
“Listen, it’s all a part of the sport, even after,” she added. “So everyone, take a deep breath and just know that every thing is great. It’s a game. It’s a game. Try to observe it like a sporting event, you recognize? Like if you happen to were watching football or wrestling, and just be gentle with everybody, because everyone seems to be doing one of the best they’ll.”
That very same day, the show itself issued an announcement via X condemning the harassment and cyberbullying of the solid.
The Traitors season 4 star Lisa Rinna is sharing her hot takes on what went down within the castle because the competition reaches a boiling point. “I’m gonna start with this, Rob R. He’s super smart,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alums, 62, said in a TikTok video shared ahead of the Thursday, January […]
“We’re committed to creating our casts feel protected, respected, and supported – on screen and off,” a written statement said on Saturday. “The solid of The Traitors are real people, and what happens in the sport should never result in cyberbullying or harassment. There’s a difference between discussing a show and targeting individuals.”
The statement continued, “Let’s not break the fervour for this show with unwarranted negativity and private attacks. We appreciate your support.”
