Add Chest may have left her role The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsbut as he explained in a recent interview, he’s “not dead yet.”
While she admitted that the transition from the Bravo show has been a “big adjustment” and expressed how confident her husband is. Harry Hamlin to allow her to be seen, Lisa looks back on the fashion week traveling to Paris, New York City, London, and Milan as she considered her next career move.
“It’s like I’m spinning every time I do something,” Lisa explained during an April 18 interview with Paper magazine. “I think if I keep saying ‘yes’ to the universe, good things keep showing up.”
Since leaving RHOBA in January after eight seasons, Lisa was contacted by a major fashion brand as she traveled to different fashion week events and chronicled her journey on social media.
“Obviously I’m not filming,” he said. “So I was able to say yes when Kenzo asked me to fly to Paris with four days’ notice… Everyone just said ‘yes.'”
But when he was having fun after-RHOBAthat doesn’t mean he doesn’t miss the show’s cast and crew, whom he describes as “family.”
“Everything is a big adjustment in life, everything is transformative,” she said. “I’ve been through all the emotions you go through when doors close in your life. But the great thing is, sometimes when one door closes, 100 others open. If you’re not afraid to do something new – say, ‘You know, it’s time for me to get out.’ and do the next thing’ – if you can stay, it’s a blessing. It just takes faith and hope.”
“It would be the same if I worked as a clerk at Payless,” he added. “This is your life. But I never felt that this was the end. It is the end and the beginning. Because I’m not dead yet.”
Although Lisa’s “next” is in the wraps, she is hinted at a potential return to acting and has no plans to walk away from the spotlight.
“I think that’s the biggest thing,” Lisa admitted of her fame. “I can’t say it’s bad in any way, shape, or form. I mean, I’m not Lady Gaga. I don’t want to be unable to go to the store.
“I don’t know what I would have done if all of this hadn’t worked out,” she continued with her successful entertainment career. “I was in Medford, Oregon. I left college after a term…I never had a backup plan.
In addition to spending more than three decades on television, which she says is “a f-cking long time,” Lisa has dabbled in other ventures. This includes her latest project, Rinna Wines, which actually got her on the show.
“It’s the only way my husband will let me do the show,” Lisa joked. “At first, she said I was going to divorce myself. Then I mentioned how much Bethenny sold Skinnygirl – she came back two days later and said, ‘You know, I don’t think it’s a bad idea if you do the show after all.'”
While Lisa has made it a point to say “yes” to many things throughout her career, there are certain events she’s not interested in: The Masked Singer. In fact, he said he turned down the show about 10 times, or “probably more.”
“I would just be claustrophobic in that setting,” she explains. “I can’t do it.”
Are they going to launch an OnlyFans page, à la Denise RichardsLisa says she won’t – at least not yet.
“I want to work with people who are fun and have fun. Period,” she said.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is in production and is expected to start airing on Bravo sometime later this year.
