Rinna Slams Cohen Over Private Texts in New Memoir

Lisa Rinna recently voiced her dissatisfaction with Andy Cohen, specifically regarding his decision to publish her private text messages in one of his books. Rinna, who is gearing up for the February 24 release of her memoir, 'You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It,' shared her current relationship status with Cohen during an interview.

While she confirmed they are "fine" as of February 5, 2026, Rinna acknowledged that Cohen had informed her she would be mentioned in his writing. However, she expressed surprise upon discovering that her personal text exchanges with him, described as her "boss," were included in his published work.

Rinna's memoir aims to present her unfiltered perspective, as she believes 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' did not accurately represent her. She feels this book is her opportunity to share the "director's cut" of her experiences, including the "good, the bad and the wackadoodle."

Despite past on-and-off drama, including her exit from 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' in 2023 after eight seasons, Rinna and Cohen have had moments of amicable interaction. She recently apologized on his SiriusXM show for comparing the show to the Titanic, though she later reflected on their dynamic as a "Housewife to Big Daddy" role she played.

Rinna also recently competed on 'The Traitors' before her elimination after seven episodes.
