Frenemies?
Kathy Hilton and Lisa Rinna’s feud may be over as they were spotted paling around together at the Women’s Cancer Research Fund’s flagship fundraising event — “An Unforgettable Evening” Gala — in Beverly Hill, Calif., on Wednesday.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alums turned heads as they posed for photos while glammed up in their evening wear.
The rivals were seen leaning in close together and touching heads.
Hilton, 65, stunned in a semi-sheer blue dress with lace embroidery while Rinna, 60, donned a long-sleeve black velvet dress.
It’s unclear if the duo’s photo op was just all for show or a true step forward in mending their tattered friendship.
Their feud played out during Season 12 of “RHOBH” as Hilton referred to her long-time pal as the “biggest bully in Hollywood.”
“You are the biggest bully in Hollywood and everyone knows it,” the socialite said during the Season 12 reunion in October 2022.
Hilton’s attack on Rinna came after the “Days of Our Lives” actress claimed in an earlier episode that the hotel heiress had a “psychotic break” during the cast’s trip to Aspen, Colo.
At the time, the “Melrose Place” star referred to Hilton as “the devil,” alleging she made derogatory comments about her sister and fellow castmate Kyle Richards, 55.
Recalling Hilton’s alleged meltdown, the soap opera alum said, “She takes her glasses off, she throws them on the ground, she’s jumping up and down, breaking her glasses. She’s pounding the walls and she’s screaming [that] she made Kyle.”
“And she said, ‘I will destroy Kyle and her family if it’s the last thing I ever do,’” the wife of Harry Hamlin continued.
At the end of the infamous episode, the fashion designer emotionally apologized to Rinna for her irate behavior, explaining she lashed out because a close friend of hers had terminal cancer.
“It’s very upsetting to me,” Hilton said. “So, I’m sorry. And I don’t behave this way. And people that have known me for 30 years, I don’t have problems with people.”
However, Rinna remained unfazed by her castmate’s heartfelt apology, claiming Hilton was gaslighting and manipulating her.
After Season 12 wrapped, the hotel heiress admitted she should never have apologized to Rinna.
“I never, ever, ever should have apologized,” she said during an interview with Extra in October 2022.
Hilton also doubled down on her claims that Rinna was a “bully,” saying, “She bullied everybody, and I think that is just the worst.”
Both Hilton and Rinna exited “RHOBH” after Season 12. Hilton, however, made a brief return during the Season 13 reunion.
