Eileen Davidson Defends Lisa Rinna; Claims Her Comments Were Taken Out Of Context

Eileen Davidson Defends Lisa Rinna; Claims Her Comments Were Taken Out Of Context

Eileen Davidson

According to Eileen Davidson, the situation regarding who said what about Kim Richards‘ sobriety can be summed up as “It’s Complicated.” The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star defends long-time friend, Lisa Rinna, in her blog this week, claiming her comments to Eden Sassoon were taken out of context.

After arriving in Mexico at Mauricio and Kyle Richards’ vay-cay pad, Eileen abruptly got the sh*ts. But that didn’t stop her from playing fierce ally to Rinna, who was called out for her lies comments that were caught on camera. Eileen reflects, “Pardon the understatement of the year, but this is a very complicated situation! Watching the show the last couple weeks, Lisa Rinna’s comments about Kim Richards to Eden have been played many times. So much has been said about it. But, here’s the context I think we’re missing.”

“Believe me, the last thing I ever wanted to do was talk about Kim Richards. But she made that impossible when she inserted herself into a situation she knew nothing about at Game Night,” continues Eileen. “Kim would never have been a topic of conversation if she hadn’t aggressively gone after Lisa R. and me and how she viewed our friendship. This is an issue that goes back to comments Kim made in Amsterdam. It has never been resolved, and Lisa R. reacted emotionally because of it.”

Complimenting Eden for her ability to diffuse the tension between Kim and Rinna on Game night, Eileen explains, “The very next day, emotions still fresh, Lisa R. confided in Eden, asking her how she might finally find peace with Kim. That is the only reason she had that conversation. Lisa R.’s comments about Kim were inaccurate and extreme. That’s not up for debate. But her intent wasn’t malicious, no matter how it may look, or no matter how it’s being portrayed now.”

As for Rinna conveniently forgetting what she said to Eden, Eileen lamely implies that it totally makes sense. This, from the woman who remembers every slight, every sigh, every off-handed shoulder shrug that’s ever happened in her presence. (Because all of those minor infractions demand APOLOGIES, dammit!)

“In Mexico, when confronted, I know Lisa R.’s reaction was genuine. She was very upset. That, and her subsequent talks with and Harry, really showed that she absolutely did not believe she’d said those things. I think she didn’t remember because they weren’t said with any venom or gossip. Of course by the time it got back through the ‘game of telephone,’ as I’ve said before and Erika [Girardi] pointed out, it was twisted into something ugly. I’ve known Lisa R. well for many years. We all know she’s off the cuff and sometimes says things without thinking. That’s why we love her. She’s not a malicious person. And I stand by that assessment even now.”

Backtracking a bit in her blog, Eileen does admit that Rinna’s words were damaging – whether she remembers them or not. But she argues that Eden’s interference is worse. “This is not to take away from how upsetting this must be for Kim and Kyle Richards. I agree with Kyle that this kind of talk can set a fragile person back. I also think what Lisa R. said is nothing as damaging as Eden going around saying horrible things about Kim and Kyle both, and comparing Kim and Kyle, to their faces and behind their backs, to her and her sister who passed away from alcohol. In these situations, I think the intent is key. What was Eden’s intent saying, ‘You don’t want my help down the stairs? Fine, I will let you crawl!’ about Kim? Whatever it was, it was not coming from a place of wisdom or concern.”

Eileen closes by commenting on the hideously embarrassing dance that Rinna decided to perform, table top, to Erika’s song. She jokes, “On the boat, I think Lisa R. took a page from my book of, ‘I’m just gonna keep dancing.’ And then took it to an entirely different level! Sometimes the best way out of a tricky situation is just to dance your ass off.”

Alright, Eileen. But, how about instead of going spread-eagle on a table, Rinna handle her little clusterf–k of a situation with – oh I don’t know – some good old fashioned honesty? Something along the lines of, “Yeah, I said it. It was wrong. And I’m sorry,” might just do the trick. Nah. That would require sanity! And maturity! Two qualities that seem woefully in short supply right now.

TELL US: WERE LISA RINNA’S COMMENTS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT? WILL EILEEN REMAIN LOYAL TO RINNA NO MATTER WHAT THE TRUTH IS?
