Lisa Rinna is apologizing to Andy Cohen after comparing The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to a sinking ship.
“Why are you saying that the show is the Titanic?” Cohen, 56, asked Rinna, 61, during SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live on Monday, February 10. “You mouth off.”
Rinna was quick to hit back with a snarky response.
“Hello, have you met me?” she quipped. Cohen replied, “I know, but you’ve so moved past the show. You’re so doing your own thing.”
Rinna became a main RHOBH cast member during season 5, which premiered in 2014. She turned in her diamond and retired from the reality series in 2022 following season 12.

Despite her propensity to never hold back, Rinna apologized to Cohen during her interview on Monday, noting that she also spoke with current RHOBH star Erika Jayne about the Titanic comment.
“I’m sorry I hurt your feelings,” Rinna said. “Erika told me last night. I saw her in the show. I went to see Chicago.”
Cohen asked: “Did she tell you that you hurt her feelings too? … Do you think you might have?”
Rinna continued to double-down on her apology, but Cohen didn’t let her off easy.
“OK, because your friend is still on the show,” he added. “So, it’s not just about me.”
Rinna appeared on the “That’s a Gay Ass Podcast” late last month and spoke her mind about the current status of RHOBH.
“They’re always looking to save it. They’re always looking for something that will save it. I think they know it’s the Titanic,” she claimed during the January 29 episode. “I’m just going to say it. We all know it’s the f—ing Titanic. That’s probably the No. 1 franchise because it’s Beverly Hills.”
When speaking with Cohen on Monday, Rinna noted that she “misused” her words.

“I put my foot in my mouth,” she said. “That show’s gonna go on and on.”
After much probing from Cohen, the Bravo alum finally admitted that she actually said what she meant.
“That’s what you meant to say? It’s a boat that’s sinking and not the Titanic?” Cohen asked. “I mean, we’re having one of the best seasons.”
She responded, “I meant to say Titanic, and I said it and I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. Let’s move on.”
Before moving on, Cohen called it “an old-school Housewife apology” or “non-apology apology.”
“It was?” Rinna wondered. “I don’t really feel bad about it though.”
