Lisa Rinna Roasted By Fans For Suddenly Shading Bea Arthur

Lisa Rinna is known for her youthful looks. She credits her parents for her bonkers genetics. However, despite having the attractive look Rinna got under some fans’ skin when she threw shade at a Hollywood legend.

In a post on her Instagram page, Rinna reshared a photo originally posted by @bravo.then.vs.now. The post featured side-by-side photos of Rinna and late actress Bea Arthur. The TV icon passed away in 2009 at age 86.

Bae Arthur was best known for her roles on the classic TV sitcoms “Maude” and “The Golden Girls.” In the pic, Arthur wore her signature silver bouffant hairstyle and a blue pantsuit. On the other hand Rinna’s pose showed her in a skimpy bodysuit and full makeup.

The caption for the post read, ”What being in your 50s looked like in the 1980s vs. today.” Rinna received positive comments from some fans and friends. However, others were not as impressed. Some commenters fired back at Rinna for the comparison.

“That’s right sister!” commented fellow soap star and RHOBH alum Eileen Davidson. “Yes Mam!!!” wrote Real Housewives of Orange County alum Gretchen Rossi, who added fire emoji. “They do better plastic surgery and treatments now vs. then!!!!!” one commenter cracked.

Others told Rinna not to dare throw shade at The Golden Girls, and others noted that Arthur was actually 63-years old when The Golden Girls debuted in 1985. They questioned why Rinna or anyone felt the need to compare the two women.

“Seriously? What’s your point here? You shaming another woman” one commenter wrote. “It’s kinda disrespectful to shade another woman to boost your ego!!!” another agreed.

Another said “How awful to put other women down. Bea Arthur is a legend who was not obsessed with her looks or social media like today. She had incredible talent.”

While Lisa does have great genes on her side, she also once said that it takes work to look like she does in her late 50s. Do you think she is bragging or you agree with her ? State your opinion in the comment below and read more on Thirsty.
