Lisa Rinna is involved in some very confusing drama at the moment.
Someone named Patrick Somers sent Lisa a threatening text last weekend, and after Lisa posted the text, he reshared Lisa’s number. Patrick then claimed that Lisa’s costar, Kathy Hilton, paid him to do so.
Now, he’s releasing an official statement on the drama.

On May 29, the RHOBH star shared to her instagram an anonymous text message from an unsaved phone number.
The text message read, “Lisa you need to stop with your rumors and lies about me. There’s plenty I can expose about you.”
Over the shared text Lisa Rinnaconfessed, “You exposed yourself…Hey expose away can’t wait to see what you’ve got.”
The phone number was on full display in the screenshot, which is now backfiring on Lisa’s tactic of calling out the man threatening her.
Many fans speculated who the sender of this message may be, some even thinking it was her own personal assistant. However, Patrick Somers, rumored to have ties with Kathy Hilton, commented towards Lisa revealing he was the sender.
“@lisarinna…I suggest you take your post down before I sue you or leak your number since you think it’s acceptable to leak mine,” he threatened.
After failed attempts of trying to get Lisa to remove the screenshot, while even posting a supposed number that belonged to Lisa, he has come forward indicating that he will be taking legal action on the matter.
A new found tweet supposedly created by Patrick, alerted the internet of his motives.
“As many of you know @lisarinna had millions of individuals call and text me in an online attack which gave millions access to my personal data. I received death threats, racial discrimination, and bullying. Today I sit with my 2 attorneys as we move forward with legal action,” accompanied by a shared photo that seems to be Patrick at a round table with two other men.
According to Patrick via Instagram, he claims that Lisa was spreading rumors about him after learning that he was set to start in a new series titled Real Husbands of Sunset, to act as a competing series for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
But now, Patrick has released an official statement about the drama.
“Hi I’m Patrick Somers, a private Marketing Manager for some of the biggest celebrities in the world,” his statement read. “My latest assignment was executed against Lisa Rinna. As I never reveal a clients personal information per my NDA agreement.”
He wrote:
My latest marketing campaign was to draw attention away from my client. That’s exactly what I did. All narratives associated with my latest campaign are false. I was compensated $27,527.72 for my work.
All media outlets and tabloids were planted by me.
There is no lawsuit. No new reality show, and frankly, I’ve never met Lisa Rinna.
I hope you can understand as this is my line of work and simply nothing personal.
So, it looks like Kathy Hilton might not have anything to do with this?
