LISA Rinna is no beard.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has spoken out to deny to longstanding claims that her husband of 29 years, Harry Hamlin, is gay.
She set the record straight in her new book, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.
“Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” she wrote.
“He is not a gay man in any way, shape or form, not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
Rinna, 62, explained she never heard the rumours about Hamlin, 72, until she joined the Housewives cast in 2014.
“I just figured bitches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me,” she added. “My reaction was always more, ‘why you mad, boo?’
“When you’re a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to ‘is he gay?’
“He does what rings true to him. It was something that he felt was absolutely necessary to do. Harry made a brave decision, and it bit him in the ass.”
