Lisa Rinna Says She Blames Herself for Daughter’s Anorexia
Lisa Rinna’s young daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin is battling anorexia, and in a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she gets candid about what it’s been like for the family.
In the episode, Lisa and her husband Harry Hamlin are having dinner with their daughters Amelia, 17, and Delilah Belle Hamlin, 20, during which Amelia states: “I’m not hungry.”
After Lisa encourages them to eat, Amelia says, “No, I’m just not hungry. I’m allergic to everything.”
Lisa later said in a confessional: “Amelia has issues with food. You watch Amelia take two steps forward, one step back. It is not an easy, clean, ‘Okay great, you know, you did that, you had that, you got the help.’ It’s not like that. It’s just, you know, one day at a time.”
Amelia had said to her mom in footage filmed three months prior, “No matter how many deaths anorexia causes, all I cared about was the skinniness.”
Amelia went public with her personal battle with anorexia in 2018, writing a lengthy Instagram message beside two bikini photos of herself. She admitted to her mother that her struggle with the eating disorder got so bad that at one point, she “could have died.”
Lisa later said in a confessional, “You can’t help but blame yourself. You know, it’s like, ‘What did we do to f— her up?’ Maybe we did something. I don’t know. I just know that it’s really, really hard to watch Amelia be in pain.”
We love you, Amelia.
