Many thought that when “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna spoke about the controversial Balenciaga ad, she wouldn’t hold back. While the star did take a jab at the fashion house, it was overshadowed by the statement that followed.
In a now-deleted Instagram story, the reality star talked about the campaign, per The Toast, a gossip podcast. Rinna said, “People want me to speak out on Balenciaga yes, those ads were wrong. I think we all agree on that,” she continued, “I want to speak out on antisemitism and hate and racism and homophobia and Alex Jones and Kanye West, Trump and Elon musk, and the danger of that because to me that’s what’s really f****** dangerous.” Rinna was referencing Kanye “Ye” West’s antisemitic rants and Elon Musk’s recent acquisition of Twitter. However, some fans didn’t take her comments well at all.

Backlash followed Rinna’s comments. One Twitter user wrote, “Lisa Rinna didn’t speak out against Balenciaga ad. She hinted at it and made it to be a lesser problem than other problems.” Since Rinna has taken down the post, some of her castmates have also weighed in on the ad. Garcelle Beauvais wrote on Twitter, “Obviously the #Balanciaga campaign was so wrong! Whose in these rooms making these dumb decisions #ProtectOurChildren.”
