In her new memoir "You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It", Lisa Rinna addresses long-standing rumors about her husband Harry Hamlin's sexuality, writing that he is "heterosexual" "in any way, shape or form." Rinna says the rumors may have stemmed from Hamlin's role in the 1982 film "Making Love", in which he played a gay man, but insists that was just a movie role and that Hamlin has only ever had eyes for her.

Why it matters

Addressing persistent rumors about a celebrity's sexuality can be a sensitive topic, but Rinna seems intent on setting the record straight about her husband's sexual orientation once and for all. The memoir provides a platform for the couple to control the narrative around this long-standing speculation.

The details

Rinna says she didn't even become aware of the rumors about Hamlin's sexuality until she joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" in 2014. She notes that many of the men on the show have faced similar speculation, which she attributes to the fact that Hamlin is a "good-looking, stylish dude in H'wood." Rinna and Hamlin have been married since 1997 and have two children together.
