Harry Hamlin weighed by the wife Add Chest‘s behavior is often controversial The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills before her official exit from the show on Thursday.
In a series of recent interviews, Harry, 71, revealed what often gets Lisa, 59, in trouble on the show before revealing to fans the biggest misconception about the now-former cast member, admitting that he feels 80 per cent of viewers are Tim . Lisa, and shared the secret to their 25-year marriage.
“He did his job. His job is to show up on time, interact with the people on the show in an honest and authentic way,” he told PEOPLE two weeks before his exit. “His hot button issue, I think, is being unfair or when other people do not act honestly, he will call. And that gets him into a lot of trouble. But it also helps the show.
While Lisa has faced backlash in recent months for her claims about Kathy Hilton‘s meltdown in Aspen, even getting booed at BravoCon in October, Harry knows exactly who he is and doesn’t buy into what he claims is the biggest misconception about his wife.
“I have known him for 30 years… He has never once, in all time, uttered an untruth,” he stated. “And something that’s not true and honest. But he’s being accused of lying on the show. And I’m not paying attention to that because I know he’s not.
“There’s always going to be 50 percent of people who like you, 50 percent of people who hate you. I think the like-hate factor is more — like 80 percent [of] people like Lisa, 20 percent don’t,” he continued.
Also, when talking to PEOPLE, Harry, who is married to Laura Johnson and Nicollette Sheridan before tying the knot with Lisa more than 25 years ago, he said he never “[played] field.”
“The number of people I’m familiar with is not that many – I’m married, mostly. Probably the first couple [of marriages] Am I trying to work on things because she has the same characteristics as my mother,” he said. “Breaking the cycle is not easy. Having not married my mother for the third time, then came the challenge: How to make the friendship and the relationship be romantic and platonic?
Harry, who showed his daughter Delilah Hamlin24, and Amelia Hamlin21 years, with Lisa, then shared his mantra: “Happy wife, happy life.”
“We listen to each other, and we are not clingy. He does what he wants, so I can do what I want,” he said.
Back in February of last year, during a separate PEOPLE interview, Harry admitted that during his long-term marriage to Lisa, they were “diametrically opposite”.
“I like to go up to the mountains, and the idea of camping is anything below the 10th floor of the Four Seasons,” he said.
Filmed in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is expected to start later this month.
