Rinna Blames Trump Comments for QVC Ouster

Lisa Rinna has asserted that her outspoken political commentary regarding President Trump in 2020 led to the termination of her lucrative role with QVC. The actress's clothing line, The Lisa Rinna Collection, established in 2012, had achieved significant popularity on the home shopping network. Rinna speculates that a change in QVC's ownership structure in 2018, involving a major conservative donor, may have influenced the decision to dismiss her.

During the 2020 election cycle, Rinna was notably critical of Trump, with whom she had previously worked on The Celebrity Apprentice. She expressed shock at his perceived "ugliness and vileness." Rinna also noted that alongside her political stance, complaints from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans may have contributed to QVC's decision to part ways with her, despite the continued profitability of her brand.
