Lisa Rinna received a mix of boos and cheers when she made a surprise appearance at BravoCon 2022 Friday.

The reality star shocked fans when she made her way onto the stage during the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" panel after not originally being slated to attend. Following an explosive season, the crowd was divided, with some cheering for Rinna and others booing.

Before taking a seat alongside her castmates Crystal Kung Minkoff, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais and Erika Jayne, however, Rinna flipped off the crowd, according to multiple videos on social media.

"I'm a f—king rock star," Rinna told Page Six and other outlets when asked about the booing incident after the panel.

Jayne and Kemsley also opened up to Page Six about the awkward moment. The former said that it was part of their lives as performers, while Kemsley found it "intense."

"There's no consoling Rinna. We are here in a live audience, and people do that. You get cheers, you get boos," Jayne noted. "And that's part of being a performer. She's a performer. She knows what it is. We all know what this is, so the audience is allowed to feel whatever way they want to. Clap and boo. That's part of a live audience."

Kemsley added, "Oh my God, it was so intense. Brad Goreski did an amazing job [moderating the panel]. I didn't like when Lisa was booed. I didn't like to see that at all. I mean, listen, it can get intense. The fans are intense. I don't like the hecklers, but I do love the love."

The outlet noted that the crowd's reaction appeared to suggest they are siding with Kathy Hilton. She is feuding with Rinna after the latter reportedly made it her mission to expose the socialite for her "meltdown" during their cast trip to Aspen, Colorado.

During the first part of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Season 12 reunion, which aired Wednesday, Hilton called Rinna the "biggest bully in Hollywood."

"You fight with everybody," Hilton told Rinna while naming those she has fought with in the past, People reported. "And you drove Lisa Vanderpump off the show. I mean the list can go on and on. You are the biggest bully in Hollywood, and everyone knows it."

She also accused Rinna of wanting all of the drama on camera because her contract was coming up. There are rumors that Rinna may not return for "RHOBH" Season 13, according to People.

Rinna's reaction to Hilton's accusations is set to be revealed in next week's episode.

Ahead of the episode, Rinna clapped back at the socialite's claims via social media by posting an animated image of a red M&M with her signature hairdo, white gloves, diamond jewelry, and red heels to her Instagram with the caption, "The biggest bully in Hollywood, and everyone knows it."

After clips went viral of the icy "RHOBH" reunion, Hilton doubled down on her "bully" allegations against Rinna in an interview with Extra at BravoCon Friday.

"She is a bully. She bullied everybody, and I think that is just the worst," the 63-year-old reality star said.

As for Rinna getting booed onstage, Hilton told the outlet, "That's unfortunate."
