4. Sheridan responded to Rinna's claims of cheating.

Recently, a clip from RHOBH circulated in which housewife Denise Richards talks about her plans to marry boyfriend  Aaron Phyers. The marriage was on hold until Phyers finalized his divorce from Nicolette Sheridan.

Rinna reminds everyone present that her husband had also been married to Sheridan and shared her version of why they broke up: Rinna says Sheridan attended a Michael Bolton concert in 1992, went home with the singer, and that broke up the marriage.

Sheridan took to twitter to deny the cheating allegations, saying her marriage to Hamlin ended “nose to nose in Canada”.

5. And thus, the feuding began.

Hamlin jumped into the Twitter fray to reiterate Rinna’s claims and adds fuel to the fire by saying that Sheridan cheated on him only two weeks after Hamlin’s mother had died.

Rinna merely said to Sheridan: “Sweetie, you are the gift that keeps on giving.”

6. But Sheridan fired back. 

Sheridan came back for more saying: “Do you really want the truth shared? I appreciate that you want to support your housewife’s FAKE NEWS narrative, but the end of our marriage had nothing to do with anyone other than us. Sad you still can’t own your part.”
