Lisa Rinna has claimed there were 'no signs' that Donald Trump would become a 'monster' during her time working with him on The Apprentice. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 62, reflects on her experiences in her new memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.
Rinna appeared on Celebrity Apprentice in 2011 and again on the All-Stars edition two years later, finishing in fourth place. She described Trump as 'a great entertainer' who would 'come out, say his lines, do his job, and move it along.' However, she now refers to him as 'our current Circus Peanut in Chief' and says she 'really dislikes him' and thinks he has 'ruined the world.'
In her memoir, Rinna also criticised Trump's family members, describing Melania and Ivanka as 'robots' and 'total Stepford Wives,' and calling sons Don Jr. and Eric 'just as gross as they are now.' She added that she finds it interesting she did not think Trump was 'gross' at the time, as he was 'nice' and 'professional.'
Rinna, who left RHOBH in 2023 after eight seasons, suggested that her outspokenness about Trump contributed to fan backlash during her final season. She wrote that she 'called Donald Trump out' on social media while grieving her mother's death, which she says caused her to 'lose her mind' and act out.
