Lisa Rinna’s Daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin is clarifying her previous claims that she is “forced” to film The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The young model first took to Instagram on Sunday, July 19, after she was accused of lying about having an eating disorder to get “air time” on the Bravo hit reality series.

“I usually don’t post these. But this really got to me. Lying about a mental illness is disgusting. Something I hope nobody would ever do,” the model, who has been open about her battle with anorexia since 2018, wrote. “I seriously can’t believe I’m being accusing of lying about anorexia to get more ‘air time’ sorry but I’m forced to be on the housewives by my mom. Ask anyone it’s the last thing I want to do. I couldn’t care less about air time. So f—k you.”

After her comments made headlines, Amelia backtracked by releasing a new statement via Instagram Stories.

“CAN EVERYONE PLEASE CALM DOWN AND STOP!!! My mom is so so amazing. She ‘encouraged’ me to be on the show in my opinion,” she wrote on Monday, July 20, via Instagram Stories. “I was 12 and didn’t know what it was going to be like. And I’m so glad that she encouraged me to do so. I’ve been able to touch so many souls with my story.”

She added that she should have used the word “encouraged” instead of “forced” when it comes to filming.

“THAT WAS THE WRONG CHOICE OF WORDS. All I was trying to say was that I’m not just on this show for a f—king story line you guys chill,” Amelia wrote. “Obviously it’s been six years. I could have stopped filming long ago. Can you just all chill? I haven’t ’cause I have a story to tell to HELP people and now I’ve become super close to all the women and I love them.”
