The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has always been known for the drama. The women of the 90210 leave nothing on the table when it comes to their massive arguments. However, the franchise’s golden age probably occurred when Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards almost came to blows over alcohol intake and fidelity. The two women rarely saw eye to eye, but the Amsterdam meeting of the minds left everyone in shambles. However, Kathy Griffin is now shedding light on the fight heard around the world. And the information is interesting, to say the least.

Lisa and Harry Hamlin have been married since 1997, and for the most part, they come across as a happily married couple. In 2017, the ladies of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills traveled to Amsterdam. But instead of enjoying a girls’ break, Kim spent the time tossing accusations at Lisa Rinna and Harry. Season 8 showed the two women at one another’s throats, literally. The two faced off, with Lisa calling Kim’s sobriety into question multiple times. During the dinner from hell, Kim alleged that Lisa was harboring a dark secret about her husband, Harry Hamlin. The accusation encouraged Lisa to channel her inner soap opera actress, which included her yelling and shattering a wine glass.

Earlier in the episode, Lisa mentioned that her husband had been three years sober. But when it came to dinner, the mother of two had no problem attacking Kim for her drinking. After replaying the scene over and over, I can’t help but feel when Kim said the “Let’s talk about the husband” remark, she might have been insinuating he wasn’t sober, not that he had cheated. But for years, this has all been a theory. 

Kathy Griffin speaks out about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

During a podcast, the comedian revealed inside information from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills dinner party that she learned from Lisa. Kathy told listeners, “There was an episode of RHOBH where Lisa took a glass and was so pissed at Kim Richards she freaking broke it and was gonna twist it in her neck, which is my kind of b*tch, and she kept saying because there was a rumor about Harry.” For years, viewers have watched as Lisa has always been extremely protective of her husband. But at the time, the outburst felt excessive. Kathy noted she has never heard one rumor about the actor even though “he’s been around forever.”

Recently, the redhead found herself out at dinner with Lisa and Harry and couldn’t resist asking about that famed interaction. “What was the rumor that pissed you off so much?’” Kathy asked. According to the My Life on the D-List alum, Lisa was “Like, ‘First of all, I blacked out in that moment. I was about to kill someone,’ and then I go, ‘What was the rumor?’ I go, ‘Harry, what was the rumor?’”

Harry Hamlin shared the reason behind the fight

After a long pause from Kathy for dramatic effect, she claimed Harry responded with quite an interesting claim. According to the comedian “He’s such like a quiet-spoken, intellectual guy, and he goes, ‘They said I f*cked a dog.’ And you guys, I lost it laughing. And I went, ‘What?’ I go, ‘That’s what you were gonna fight over? Somebody said Harry f*cked a dog?’ I just thought that was the funniest thing,” Kathy admitted. 

The fight for Kathy now seemed humorous and almost pointless. “Of all the rumors, how did even one person be like, ‘Hm, that is possible.’ I thought the rumor was just that he was having an affair with somebody, maybe an affair with someone on the show.” Kathy doubled down, noting, “Harry Hamlin is not a dog-f*cker.” During the fight, Lisa felt as if she were in The Matrix. She realized at that moment, “I could take someone’s life, but I’m gonna go to prison and never see my husband and my kids again.” Honestly, the fight almost seems dumb now. I was expecting a bit more juice to the rumor but all is fair in Real Housewives’ battle briefs.   

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
