After watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 reunion trailer, fans think Kathy Hilton came to redeem her sister Kim Richards against Lisa Rinna. Kim is an OG on the Beverly Hills franchise who exited the show following a nasty showdown with Rinna. Fans can recall the infamous Amsterdam fight between Kim and Rinna where Lisa broke a wine glass while threatening Kim to keep Harry Hamlin’s name out of her mouth. Now, years later and Lisa is at odds with Kim’s older sister, who’s not backing down without a fight.
The explosive season 12 reunion trailer teased all the impending showdowns between the ladies with Kathy and Lisa’s taking center stage. Clips showed Kathy confronting Lisa about being a “bully” in Hollywood and on the show. Kathy seemingly accuses Lisa of pushing her sister Kim and fellow OG alum Lisa Vanderpump off the show. Fans have been reeling over the trailer and praising Kathy for not holding back on Rinna. Reddit user u/aplaceofno shared a screenshot of an old tweet from a fan who “hopes Kathy is playing us all and is vigorously plotting Rinna’s demise for coming after Kim.” Fans referenced past episodes where Kim noted how “Kathy would never let people treat her the way Kyle did.”
Fans Think Kathy Hilton Had an “End Game”
One fan shared their theory that Kathy had an “end game” and only joined the show in a friend role to redeem Kim. “Why else would she join the show she doesn’t need ANYTHING,” they noted. Others applauded Kathy for “playing the long game” and seemingly playing coy on the show before unleashing her wrath on Rinna. Viewers got an inside look into Kathy’s build-up of rage on the show. The group had traveled to Aspen, Colorado, for a girl’s trip, where Kathy had hopes of promoting her Casa Del Sol tequila brand. But camera clips showed how uninterested Kim and Rinna appeared whenever Kathy mentioned her tequila.
At one point, Rinna went to the bar to order a glass of Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, which sent Kathy over the edge. After she was seen storming out of the bar, the next clips showed the cast recalling what they know of Kathy’s Aspen meltdown. With Rinna being the only one present to witness the tirade, she has been the most forthcoming with how “shook” she was when she saw Kathy turn into “the devil.” Kathy has offered tearful apologies to her sister Kyle for the hurtful things she said but hasn’t been open about what was actually said. Rinna, on the other hand, has revealed what she claims to have heard Kathy say, and she wants more accountability from the wealthy hotel heiress.
The season 12 reunion will give fans more insight into the meltdown and Kathy and Rinna’s impending showdown. Kathy clearly came ready to go toe to toe with Rinna, and it’s an exchange viewers have been longing to see. Rinna appears to have finally met her match on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and fans are here for it. Karma is real and fans think Rinna is getting hers from Kathy for her past attacks against Kim Richards.
