Lisa Rinna seems to think that mocking eating disorders while dancing in her underwear is cute and funny, even though her daughters disagree.

Lisa Rinna loves attention.  Bad attention, good attention, any attention.  It is clear based on her never-ending dancing videos in her underwear that she posts relentlessly and regularly.  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans of Rinna think the videos are “cute,” “funny,” and “so Rinna,” but when do they start being pathetic?

Yesterday’s Instagram video in her skims, a Kardashian-branded version of Spanx, was captioned with “Caution: Trigger Warning!!! 🛑 Dancing in my underwear may cause an eating disorder! Proceed with CAUTION HENNY.”  Initially, Rinna changed the caption to laughing faces.  Then, after backlash from fans, she deleted the post entirely.

Has she not showcased her daughter’s eating disorders on national television as part of her storyline?  Now she’s mocking them and making a joke out of it for Instagram likes?

Her lack of awareness is astounding, even for her.  Amelia Gray Hamlin, Rinna’s daughter that has publically suffered from anorexia, even commented “Oh god.”  At what point has Rinna gone too far?  Because it seems like she’s gone too far.  Her priority is now Instagram likes instead of possibly upsetting her daughter and sending her into some kind of spiral about her weight?

Every time Rinna mentions Amelia’s eating disorder, tabloids and magazines run stories about her and her struggles.  Paparazzi follow her around hoping for a photo of her looking one way or another to further the story.  And Rinna just keeps giving them ammunition and forcing her daughter back into the spotlight.

She probably thinks she is being funny when she posts such things, but it comes off like she is mocking mental health issues.  And if it is something that makes her daughter suffer…why would she mock it?  Shouldn’t she be protecting her children instead of making it worse?

Narcissism is real, just like anorexia and body dysmorphic disorder are real.  And people like her daughters suffer from the latter, while Rinna apparently suffers from the former.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9 PM ET.
