She said: 'We are the number one show on cable, and on television. And I'm a f*****g rockstar. That's all I have to say.'
Lisa has been slammed by cancer survivors and doctors alike after she used the disease as an excuse to spill Kathy Hilton's personal secrets.

One woman, who has a three-year-old daughter with leukemia, called Rinna's comment 'hurtful and horrendous,' while another, who lost their mom to the disease, said she was 'disgusted to her core.'
