QVC has some explaining to do after allegedly attempting to silence Lisa Rinna‘s support of the Black Lives Matter movement after “Karens” begged for her firing!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed as much in a since-deleted Instagram Story on Wednesday, writing how she feels she “must be muzzled” to continue having her Lisa Rinna Collection sell on the televised shopping network.

Lisa penned a lengthy message on her account, saying:
“I am sad to report
It would now seem I can’t use my platform to inform or question or say how I feel politically because the Karen’s have bombarded Qvc begging them to fire me and saying how they will no longer buy my clothes. It is a shame that I must be muzzled in order to support my family but that is just what it is. Remember you know how I feel. Use your voice and vote.”
While the Story is no longer up on her page, Sarah Galli, events consultant, self-proclaimed Bravoholic, and Andy’s Girls podcast host, reposted it on her IG. See (below) for screenshots, as well as her calling out the network:
Rinna may have deleted her original Story where she claimed she was being silenced, but at least referenced the “Karen” controversy in another post:
QVC’s attempt to quiet Lisa hasn’t gone unnoticed as comments on their two latest posts have been flooded with support for Black Lives Matter and the Bravo personality!
While we can understand the momma of two’s wanting to “support her family” by continuing to work with the shopping network, aligning with a brand that has no problem being racist is problematic in itself. Want to be an ally? Pull your collection and keep pulling in the money from a network actually taking strides to be anti-racist!
Thoughts, Perezcious readers?? Will U be calling out QVC? Let us know how you feel in the comments (below)!
