The Latest ‘Real Housewives’ Scandal Explained: Lisa Rinna’s Being Racist Again
Things are looking rough for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Lisa Rinna and Diana Jenkins following an Instagram feud that began after their fellow castmate Garcelle Beauvais called Jenkins “uneducated” on Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live.
One would think the two white women, who have already been accused of attacking Black people on Instagram while season 12 of the Bravo show is airing, would want to scale back on the microaggressions. But the pair proved yesterday that they apparently can’t go long without being extremely racist.
The origins of the feud date back several weeks ago when Jenkins, the newest housewife to join the cast, left the comment, “It must be fun being a Black content creator” under a Black Instagram user’s post that poked fun at Jenkins. After receiving swift backlash online, the Bosnian socialite apologized, claiming she thought the term “Black content creator” referred to someone who made “snarky content” and blaming her snafu on not being from the U.S.—which many fans didn’t seem to buy.
