Lisa Rinna is asking fans to be kinder to the cast of The Traitors. On Instagram Stories, Rinna shares her regret for bringing her A+ Housewives sass to social media against her enemy, Colton Underwood. “It’s come to my attention that my post that I responded to in my housewife mode is taking on a life of its own, and it’s causing real problems for Colton,” Rinna began. “I do not want this, because Colton and I are great. He was a great and is a great nemesis for me on the show, in the game. Now, as you know, if you asked me to be a housewife, I’ll bring it to you, right? That’s what I was doing, all in the name of the game.” One day ago, Rinna responded to a fan’s screenshot with a diss to Underwood: “Let’s talk about you being a stalker….”, referencing the restraining order Underwood’s ex, Cassie Randolph, filed against him in 2020.
Rinna then says that she and Underwood are friends and that she’s “totally great” with him. “The fact that the backlash is happening, I feel horrible about because I don’t want to hurt anybody. I am here to play the game and have fun. And Colton is a great nemesis for me. We had so much fun. I’ve only always had a great time with him,” she concluded. “So please, guys, be gentle. It’s a game. It’s a TV show. We’re all doing the best we can. Don’t send death threats or do anything to jeopardize somebody’s family.”

On Saturday afternoon, the official Traitors social media accounts asked fans to stop “cyberbullying” its cast members. “The cast of The Traitors are real people, and what happens in the game should never lead to cyberbullying or harassment. There’s a difference between discussing a show and targeting individuals,” the show wrote. “Let’s not ruin the passion for this show with unwarranted negativity and personal attacks.” Another Peacock reality show, Love Island USA, shared a similar message last summer after cast members received death threats and harassment.
