Rinna knows how to get a job, and she knows how to keep a job. And the best way to keep it is to be the center of the drama, and break apart the alliances. 

I think its all three jealousy, deflection, and pure evilness. I think she uses others to take the heat off of her own life, I mean we saw how mad she got when Kim said lets not talk about the husbands. I also think she knows Kyle is an easy target and can be easily manipulated. They need to bring Kim back to gather Rinna bc she is the only one that can do it. 

As they say, Rinna understands the assignment. It's a very soap opera-y plot device, if you think about it: splitting sisters for pure sport. 

To be honest, I never have loved familial drama on Housewives. There’s too much baggage we HAVEN’T seen, which I think affects the viewing experience. I feel like we are better off with feuds we have seen from beginning to end. 

Is it jealousy? Deflection? Pure evilness? It honestly just seems like Lisa Rinna legit loves pulling the Richards sisters further apart even though she knows they have a strained relationship. First with Kyle and Kim and now with Kyle and Kathy. What is the issue here?

What is it with Lisa Rinna and the Richards sisters?
