Lisa Rinna Sparks Outrage After Publicly Insulting Charlie Kirk During Livestream: “He’s a National Embarrassment”
Hollywood, CA — Reality TV star and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Lisa Rinna is under fire after a shocking outburst targeting conservative commentator Charlie Kirk during a late-night Instagram livestream that has since gone viral.
Reality Star Meets Political Firebrand
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna has ignited a firestorm of controversy after openly insulting conservative commentator Charlie Kirk during a heated livestream. Known for her outspoken personality and unfiltered opinions, Rinna shocked both fans and critics when she branded Kirk a “national embarrassment.”
The moment, which quickly went viral across Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, has drawn strong reactions from across the political and entertainment spectrum. While some praised Rinna for “speaking the truth,” others accused her of going too far and crossing the line into disrespect.
The Livestream Incident
The incident unfolded during an Instagram Live session in which Rinna, often candid with her fans, discussed a wide range of topics from pop culture to politics. When a viewer asked about her thoughts on Charlie Kirk, Rinna did not hold back.
“Charlie Kirk? Please. He’s a national embarrassment. He stands up there acting like he cares about America, but all he really does is mock people, spread division, and use controversy to stay relevant,” Rinna declared.
Her remarks immediately sparked a frenzy in the comment section of the livestream, with fans flooding the chat with both applause and criticism. Within minutes, clips of her statement were circulating on social media, drawing widespread attention.
Fans React — Applause and Backlash
Reactions to Rinna’s comments have been sharply divided. Supporters applauded her candor, calling her a “brave voice” willing to call out divisive figures in politics.
“Lisa said what we’ve all been thinking. Charlie Kirk thrives on hate and fear. He is an embarrassment,” one user tweeted.
Others, however, accused Rinna of disrespecting Kirk and alienating viewers who may not share her political beliefs.
“Rinna has officially crossed the line. She’s supposed to be an entertainer, not a political pundit. Calling someone a national embarrassment is harsh and uncalled for,” another commenter argued.
Charlie Kirk’s Silence (So Far)
As of now, Charlie Kirk has not publicly responded to Rinna’s insult. Known for his combative presence on social media, many are speculating whether he will address her comments directly in an upcoming podcast episode or on his Twitter account. Given Kirk’s history of responding forcefully to criticism, it seems likely that this feud is far from over.
Lisa Rinna’s History of Outspokenness
Rinna’s fiery comments about Kirk are hardly surprising for longtime fans of the Real Housewives alum. Throughout her reality TV career, she earned a reputation as one of Bravo’s most unfiltered and outspoken personalities, often engaging in explosive feuds with her castmates.
Since leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2022, Rinna has leaned into her online persona, frequently speaking out on cultural and political issues. Her remarks about Kirk mark one of her most controversial public statements since departing the show—and one that has thrust her back into the headlines.
Outrage and Industry Fallout
The controversy has already begun to impact Rinna’s standing within the entertainment world. While some celebrity peers applauded her boldness, others warned that publicly attacking a figure as polarizing as Kirk could hurt her brand.
Industry insiders note that Rinna, who has long relied on sponsorships, endorsements, and personal branding opportunities, risks alienating a segment of her audience with such politically charged rhetoric. However, others argue that her authenticity and willingness to speak her mind only enhance her appeal to fans who admire her fearlessness.
The Bigger Conversation
This clash between Lisa Rinna and Charlie Kirk underscores the increasingly blurred lines between entertainment and politics. In an era where celebrities are expected to speak out on political issues, Rinna’s comments reflect both the risks and rewards of wading into controversial territory.
Supporters see her remarks as a form of accountability, calling attention to a political figure they view as divisive. Critics, meanwhile, see her outburst as reckless, unnecessary, and potentially damaging to her reputation.
Conclusion
Lisa Rinna’s decision to publicly call Charlie Kirk a “national embarrassment” during a livestream has thrust her back into the cultural spotlight—and reignited debates about celebrity responsibility, political discourse, and the boundaries of free speech.
Whether this controversy will fade quickly or escalate into a prolonged feud remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Lisa Rinna’s voice, love her or hate her, has once again made waves in the public conversation—and Charlie Kirk now finds himself facing unexpected criticism from one of reality television’s most outspoken stars.
Chiefs’ Andy Reid on Xavier Worthy’s Injury Progress, Week 3 Availability
While the 2025-26 NFL season is still in its infancy, the Kansas City Chiefs have already dealt with a multitude of injury situations. The offensive side of the ball, in particular, is banged up as September rolls on.
Two players dominated the attention this week, with both being wide receivers. 2024 first-round pick Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and 2025 fourth-rounder Jalen Royals (knee) are rehabbing from respective ailments.
Fortunately for the reigning AFC champions, things are moving along nicely. Speaking to the media on Friday, head coach Andy Reid provided the latest on Kansas City’s injuries.
Andy Reid Drops Xavier Worthy Injury Update for Chiefs’ Week 3 Game
Reid says Worthy has “done a nice job” in practice, but he stopped short of confirming he’d play on Sunday against the New York Giants.
“We’ll see how it goes,” Reid said. “I know questions will be [about] Xavier and so on. I’ve just got to see. I mean, he practiced today and did a good job. Jalen Royals practiced today. Both of them ran around pretty good. We’ll just see how it goes.”
When asked whether it’s a question of shoulder stability, readiness or re-injury risk, Reid again deferred to a wait-and-see approach. He said he’d consult with Rick Burkholder, vice president of sports medicine and performance, to assess the wideout’s progress later on Friday. Worthy suffered his dislocated shoulder in Week 1 and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaking on Wednesday, quarterback Patrick Mahomes discussed what it meant to have Worthy back on the practice field.
“Yeah, I think more than anything having him out there is just a threat in general,” Mahomes said. “He can, at any moment, take a pass — short or long — he can take it to the house. Having him out on the practice field was very encouraging last week. Obviously, we didn’t know after that injury in Brazil but seeing him out there, he wanted to stay out there. It was kinda like holding him back.
“Hopefully we can go through a good week of practice and have him out there but if not, guys will step up and guys will make plays. I’m just excited to get those guys back and be able to go out there and try to have some success on offense better than we did this last week.”
Jalen Royals Set to Make NFL Debut on Sunday Against Giants?
The bad news for the Chiefs is defensive end Mike Danna (quad) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle) both missed Friday’s practice. That doesn’t bode well for either player’s availability for Sunday Night Football. On the bright side, Royals being a full participant on Thursday and getting in good work once again on Friday is a tremendously positive sign. It might just set up his professional debut.
That would be a significant development for the Day 3 pick out of Utah State. Royals not only missed practice leading up to Kansas City’s opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, but he didn’t even travel with the team. Knee tendonitis held the rookie back, but his return to work this week quickly became a full-fledged participation.
In two preseason games, Royals caught 3 passes for 14 yards. In his unofficial debut versus the Arizona Cardinals, he posted a Pro Football Focus overall offense grade of 63.0. Royals’ size and speed could help the Chiefs’ offense in a big way if he plays this weekend.
Without Worthy and Royals, Kansas City has primarily relied on the trio of Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and tight end Travis Kelce as its options for Mahomes.
UPDATE: Per the Chiefs, both Danna and Fulton have been ruled out for Sunday. Worthy and Royals are questionable.
