Lisa Rinna Promises To Tell ‘All Of The Truth’ In New Memoir

Lisa Rinna is ready to tell all in her explosive new memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.” The bold and controversial reality star, best known for her time on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and iconic soap operas like “Days of Our Lives,” will release her new book in February 2026. And while she can’t reveal every secret just yet, she spilled as much tea as she could about her latest project in an exciting new interview.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Rinna opened up about her new book, from the thrilling details inside to the vibrant cover, which showcases three versions of herself in a bright blue dress with matching red tights and gloves.

The cover is … over-the-top, much like the reality star herself. According to her, though, that was intentional. Rinna explained that the cover of her book “says it all,” essentially foreshadowing what’s to come.

“I don’t know if everyone is ready for all of the truth I am unloading in this book,” said Rinna, 62. “But I was certainly ready to tell it.”

“Life comes with a lot of ups and downs, and so much of it gets lost ‘in the editing,’ if you will. It was time to share the director’s cut,” she shared. “I put so much of myself into this book; the good, the bad, and the wackadoodle. It feels really good to see it finally come together.”

Rinna’s new book, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” won’t be her first published title. In fact, she wrote the 2009 book “Rinnavation: Getting Your Best Life Ever” and 2012’s “The Big, Fun, Sexy Sex Book.”

According to the synopsis of her new book, Rinna plans to cover everything from her career to her personal life. “If she’s experienced it … you better believe she’s gonna talk about it!” The summary further stated: “This mouth has gotten me in so much trouble.”

Rinna posted about the book on her social media, garnering much praise from fans and other Bravolebs. “The Newest Testament,” someone wrote, while another posted, “OH I AM SAT.”

While the specific stories in the book remain under lock and key, it’s almost certain Rinna will touch on her time as one of the most emblematic villains in “Real Housewives” history, especially since the memoir’s title is a direct quote from one of her explosive on-screen confessionals.

The actress left the series in January 2023 after eight years, and according to her husband, Harry Hamlin, it was the “best decision” they’ve ever made. After back-to-back seasons of incessant arguing, explosive cast trips, and exhausting reunions, Hamlin described the break away from cameras as a “breath of fresh air,” per Us Weekly.

“We were always a little circumspect about her doing it in the beginning. I was, for sure. But as a branding opportunity, it turned out to be great for her. I think it thickened her skin a lot, too, so it’s a very difficult show to get through emotionally. But she did it and we’re still standing,” he continued.

And Rinna is standing by her decision to leave the series behind, recently revealing on her joint podcast, “Let’s Not Talk About The Husband,” that she refused to be filmed for a recent “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” event.

After receiving a text message from a producer asking whether they could film her at the event for the upcoming season, Rinna explained that she told them no, and she felt great doing it.

“I [told them] you’re not going to film me, but I’ll be there, and you can film around me,” she said. “It gave me a nice satisfaction to say, ‘No, you can’t have me.'”
