Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna claims one of the most explosive moments from last week's episode was cut from the show: a screaming match between Erika Jayne and the show's producers.
The former daytime diva, 58, took to Instagram to dish on Thursday, telling fans Bravo missed a chance at 'epic TV' by not including a 'screaming fight' during the girls' visit to La Quinta, California near Palm Springs.
Erika, 50, reportedly became upset after a private, off-camera conversation about estranged husband Tom Girardi came up during filming, according to an insider who spoke to People.

Addressing the unaired scene on her Instagram Story, Rinna wrote: 'Dang it… I wish they had shown the screaming fight between the producer and Erika last night on the show in La Quinta.'
'Now that would have been epic TV. Too bad. Bravo Bravo f****** Bravo..'
Lisa went on noting that she'd likely 'get in trouble for this in…. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 .'
Erika did not directly comment but she did repost Rinna, seeming to show she supported her castmate's story.
A People magazine insider said that the issue arose when co-star Garcelle Beauvais, 54, asked Erika about a private, off-camera conversation she had with Crystal Minkoff about ailing husband Girardi, 82 - likely because she was given the information by producers.

'It was a private conversation that was picked up by production on the mics and then Garcelle, who was not present for the conversation, proceeded to ask Erika about it,' says the source.
'So of course Erika was upset. The editing was unfair and inaccurate.'
During the episode Garcelle brings up Tom during a hike with Erika and Crystal, making it seem like she had learned the information from Janye herself.
Though the fight wasn't part of last night's show, it was still an emotional episode.
Jayne broke down crying after she revealed to the other housewives that her estranged husband Tom still calls her every day, but that she doesn't take his calls.
