Lisa Rinna, best known for her appearances on **The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills**, recently shared her role in helping fellow contestant Rob Rausch obtain a coveted **Hermès Birkin bag** for Maura Higgins. Rausch’s gesture aimed to mend fences following his betrayal of Higgins on the reality show **Traitors**.
In a TikTok video posted on 8 March, the 62-year-old television personality conveyed her excitement about the project. Rinna described the process of procuring the bag as “magical” and expressed joy at bringing Rausch and Higgins together in a positive moment following the show’s dramatic finale. “Let’s talk about the Birkin bag,” she said, explaining how thrilled she was to see Higgins’ reaction to the gift.
Rinna confirmed her involvement in the purchase, stating, “Yes, I helped. Of course I did. I said I would, and we did it. We got it for her.” The Birkin bag in question, known for its exclusivity and high demand, was requested by Higgins in a specific hue: burgundy with gold accents.
The process of acquiring the bag proved to be more complex than expected; Rinna disclosed that her friends, Isaac Boots and Jeffery, facilitated a connection in New York City that allowed them to bypass longer delays associated with buying the bag in Paris. Rinna remarked, “Otherwise, we would have had to go to Paris, which is not a bad thing, but it would have taken a bit longer.”
Rausch revealed in a subsequent interview that when he first mentioned the idea to Rinna, she immediately offered her support. “She’s a very well-connected woman, and she did it. She gave me all her resources,” he said, acknowledging the assistance that made the purchase possible. Initially, Rausch had intended to travel to Paris to secure the bag but ultimately was relieved to have local options instead.
On the evening of 5 March, Rausch presented the luxurious Birkin to Higgins on **Watch What Happens Live!** The moment was laden with emotion as the reality show host, Andy Cohen, asked the audience if they would forgive someone who bought them such an extravagant gift. This prompted Rausch to don gloves and retrieve the bag for his co-star.
When Higgins unveiled the burgundy handbag, she expressed her gratitude through an embrace, declaring, “All is forgiven.” Rausch nodded in agreement, grateful for the reconciliation following the upheaval in their relationship on the show.
Higgins took to social media to express her heartfelt thanks in response to Rinna’s TikTok post, commenting, “The woman you are WE LOVE YOU ♥️♥️♥️.”
Rausch, who won a substantial **£220,800** in prize money on the fourth season of **Traitors**, shared that despite the cheque not having cleared yet, he was able to afford the Birkin using some of his savings. He has plans for the remaining funds, stating he intends to use them to secure a stable future for himself and his family.
With her involvement in this heartfelt gesture, Lisa Rinna has demonstrated that her connections and influence can indeed be used for good as she navigates the unpredictable world of reality television.
