Lisa Rinna is facing backlash after alleging that it was Patrick Clancy, not his wife, Lindsay Clancy, who killed their three children.
After sharing a video in which the 63-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum weighed in on claims that Lindsay strangled her and Patrick’s young kids to death in 2023, posing the idea that Lindsay couldn’t have done it because “women typically don’t strangle,” Lisa was accused of being a victim of “brain rot.”
“Alright, he did it. Patrick did it. Patrick’s the one who did it. Not Lindsay. Patrick did it,” Lisa declared in a video shared on social media despite there being zero evidence that Patrick had any involvement in this.
According to Lisa, Lindsay couldn’t have committed the heinous crime because she heard “that women typically don’t strangle.”
“[It’s] so awful to even say. But that isn’t what a woman would do. They don’t strangle. I was actually in therapy the other day, and my therapist and I were talking about it, and I said, ‘Well, what do they do?’ She said, ‘Well, they poison or drown them,’” Lisa continued. “We literally had that conversation today, and she looks at me, and she goes, ‘He did it.’”
“Wow! And now, yeah, yeah,” she added.
Actress Lisa Rinna says she and her female therapist agreed that Patrick Clancy killed his children, not Lindsay Clancy, because “women don’t strangle.”

Following the sharing of the post, one person replied, “Remember, ret*rds like this are on juries.”
“That’s just ridiculous and shows a blatant lack of understanding about human behavior,” said another.
A third slammed Lisa as a “crazy woman,” and they added that her therapist was “crazy” as well.
“So this crazy woman was talking to her crazy therapist and decided that the crazy woman that admitted to killing her kids is innocent because that’s not how they would have done it,” they wrote.
Others suggested Patrick sue Lisa for defamation.
“This man needs to take her to court. As if feeling helpless to help his wife and LOSING his children is NOT tragic enough she’s slinging this garbage accusation to millions of people who are JUST AS CRAZY and will believe her. He will be harassed now,” someone mentioned.
“I really hope Patrick Clancy sues the bigger figures like this. This is absolutely defamation,” another person agreed.
Someone else recalled a past scene from RHOBH when Lisa seemingly attempted to strangle her then-co-star, Kim Richards, 61, for mentioning a rumor about her husband, Harry Hamlin, 74.
“Is she getting dementia therapy? She literally went to strangle Kim Richards as a raw anger response?” they noted. “[Then] broke the stemware at the restaurant to ‘cut a b*tch’ on camera RHOBH. I can’t stand her lies, all the time. Blatant and stupid.”
