I'm a big fan of the Something Was Wrong podcast which is about emotionally and sometimes physically abusive people. The host and narrator talks about the importance of knowing what a gaslighter looks like and wouldn't you know... it's Lisa Rinna. #rhobh
I checked out the book Gaslighting: Recognize Manipulative and Emotionally Abusive People -- and Break Free by Dr Sarkis so I could read and compare what we've seen of Rinna over the last 7 or so years. Yay! #rhobh
K well this one is super easy. Rinna tried for 2 seasons with Kim Richards to convince her she was crazy and sick. She tried to convince us one season that Yolanda was crazy and sick. Then she tried to turn it around on LVP and say that she manipulated her. #rhobh
The first point is conditional apologies which I don't think requires a lot of elaboration but here's a selection of Lisa Rinna's apologies over time including a classic example #rhobh people.com/tv/lisa-rinna-…
Oh here's this over their "authentic" costumes (IF I HURT YOU) seriously classic. #rhobh
And another one (IF) THIS IS NOT A REAL APOLOGY #rhobh #lisarinna
And here's this season to Garcelle (IF) needless to say she's also non apologized to LVP & Yolanda. #rhobh #lisarinna
The next is triangulation and splitting. This is a little more complicated but playing both sides against the middle counts. * Rinna & Eileen versus Kim * Rinna fake making up with Denise & Garcelle while also shittalking to others #rhobh #lisarinna newpointofviewcounseling.com/triangulation-….
* lisa rinna versus Yolanda while throwing LVP under the bus is an amazing example #lisarinna #rhobh
Splitting & Triangulation are closely related but it's safe to say Rinna does this every. fucking. season. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/here-t… * Kim * LVP * Dorit * Denise * Garcelle #rhobh #lisarinna
Next, they expect special treatment I think a classic example of this is the stupid text from Garcelle expectation over the stupid sauce #rhobh thriveglobal.com/stories/10-sig…
@of_housewives The thing, I don’t get is they still keep her on.
@of_housewives I more frequently think of Kyle doing this
