*Lisa Rinna has some unfinished business with two of her former “Celebrity Apprentice” castmates.
According to Page Six, the reality star dedicates a portion of her new memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” to settling scores with Dionne Warwick and Star Jones over their conduct during Season 4 of the NBC competition series.
Rinna pinpoints the trouble as beginning early, during a pizza-making task in the opening stretch of the season. She recalls Warwick showing little interest in acknowledging her before delivering a sharp order to fetch a drink. “Go get me a Pepsi!” Warwick allegedly said.
“The first time I met her … she barely looked at me but had the audacity to bark, ‘Go get me a Pepsi!’ And for some reason, I ran off like a simp to get Dionne Warwick a Pepsi. She thanked me by conspiring with her coven to get me canned,” Rinna writes. The memoir pulls no punches in assessing the encounter, with Lisa labeling Warwick a “nasty piece of work.”

Rinna’s time on the show came to an abrupt end during the second episode, a result she attributes in part to Jones stepping in during boardroom discussions in a way that worked against her. The experience soured her on the group dynamic entirely, leaving her questioning the motives of the women around her.
“I’m not sure I’d ever experienced woman-on-woman hate crimes before that,” Rinna writes. Rather than souring her on reality television altogether, she says the ordeal served as an unexpected training ground for the high stakes conflicts she would eventually face on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Rinna also tales aim at Bravo’s Andy Cohen and a few of her fellow Housewives in her memoir. She called Garcelle Beauvais “fake from head to toe” and a “huge disappointment,” while labeling Sutton Stracke and Denise Richards as “narcissists.”
Rinna’s memoir covers her journey through reality television, daytime soap operas, and the fashion world.
