"Lisa Rinna Walks Back 'Stalker' Comment Amid Colton Underwood's Resurfaced Restraining Order Scandal"
In a stunning reversal, Lisa Rinna has apologized for her previous "stalker" comment about Colton Underwood. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star initially sparked outrage after saying that she wanted to be gentle with the former Bachelor contestant, who was recently hit with death threats following his resurfaced restraining order scandal.
Rinna took to Instagram Stories on Saturday to backpedal her remarks, stating that she didn't want anyone to "get hurt" over the controversy. The 62-year-old reality TV personality claimed that she and Underwood have been texting each other and had only ever had a great time together.
"I do not want this because Colton and I are great," Rinna said in her Instagram Stories post. "He was a great and is a great nemesis for me on the show [and] in the game."
Rinna also begged her followers to refrain from sending death threats or jeopardizing Underwood's family, urging fans to be "gentle" instead.
However, it appears that Rinna's apology may have come too late. The controversy surrounding Underwood's resurfaced restraining order scandal continues to simmer, with many fans taking to social media to express their outrage and disappointment.
In light of the backlash, Bravo has issued an official statement urging its fans to cease the "unwarranted negativity" and personal attacks on Underwood and other cast members.
"We are committed to making our cast feel safe, respected and supported — on screen and off," the statement read. "The cast of 'The Traitors' are real people, and what happens in the game should never lead to cyberbullying or harassment."
Despite Rinna's apology, it remains unclear whether her previous comments have caused irreparable harm to Underwood's reputation. One thing is certain, however: the drama surrounding The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and former Bachelor contestant Colton Underwood will likely continue for some time to come.

i was watching that episode of RHOBH last night & lisa rinna's comments about colton underwood were SO outta line 
like who says they wanna be gentle with someone & then proceeds to stir up drama? anyway, she apologized on instagram but i think it's too little, too late 
her words just came across as insincere & try-hard 
now the whole thing is just a mess 
... like, yeah she said somethin' that might've been a lil' out of line, but you gotta admit, it's Colton Underwood who's got the restraining order and death threats goin' on 
. It feels kinda unfair to be shadin' Rinna for this when the real issue is Colton. But at the same time, I get why people are still salty... The Real Housewives is all about drama, after all 
just saw that Lisa Rinna walked back her 'stalker' comment about Colton Underwood... I don't get why she had to apologize, she was right in the first place 
And then Rinna tries to save face by saying they're texting each other and having a great time... yeah no. We all know how reality TV works, folks. Let Colton take the heat for his own actions, not Lisa Rinna 
. And what really gets me is that Lisa Rinna was making excuses for Colton Underwood, saying they're "great" and stuff... can't she see how ridiculous she sounds now? 
I swear, this whole thing is like a never-ending episode of The Real Housewives... except instead of fighting over who's the most fabulous, it's about being kind to someone who's going through some serious issues 
. Anyways, I'm just gonna go back and watch old episodes of RHOBH, when people used to actually be funny and entertaining 
.
I don't think this is just about Lisa Rinna apologizing, it's also about the bigger picture here... she says they're texting and having a great time, but isn't that kinda weird considering Colton Underwood has a resurfaced restraining order scandal? And what about her comments before apology - calling him a "nemesis" on TV sounds pretty manipulative to me 
.
. Newsflash, Lisa: making a comment about wanting to be gentle with someone who's been accused of being a stalker is not okay, period. The fact that you're now trying to spin it as something positive just makes you look like you're trying too hard to save face 
. Bravo needs to do better than just issue a generic statement about making the cast feel safe – they need to actually take concrete steps to prevent situations like this from happening in the future 
.
colton underwood is already dealing with some serious drama and he doesn't need more 
bravo should be all about creating a safe space for their cast members, not encouraging negativity 
rinna's apology was sweet i guess, but now it's all about damage control 
we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out 
. And don't even get me started on the whole Colton situation – death threats are never okay, period 
... Bravo needs to do better than just issuing a generic statement and expecting everything to be fine 
. We need concrete action and support for these cast members, not just empty apologies 
.
Bravo is right, let's keep it classy and respectful. 
... poor colton underwood is just getting roasted by the whole fandom right now 
... and honestly who can blame them? it is wild that lisa thought she could just apologize and expect everything to be okay 
. The cast members are people too, with feelings and families who deserve respect. Let’s focus on supporting them rather than tearing each other down 
.
️. But then she apologizes and says they've been texting each other... I don't know, it sounds like a bunch of BS 
. And now the whole thing has blown up in her face, and Bravo is trying to tell everyone to calm down 
. It's just so... 2025 
but honestly can't erase the pain 
gotta be careful with our words and actions 
Now Colton Underwood's resurfaced restraining order scandal is still all over the place and everyone's getting salty
