LISA Rinna threw major shade at Lori Loughlin’s college admissions scandal when she told her daughter she won’t put her “on a rowing machine and take a picture.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 56, made the feisty jab during an emotional sit-down with 18-year-old daughter Amelia Hamlin on Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo series.
In August, Amelia moved from Los Angeles to New York City to study nutrition, wellness and psychology at private university The New School.
However, during her trip to the Big Apple for cast mate Kyle Richards’ NYFW show, Lisa said she knew her daughter was in “trouble” after spending time with her.
The teenager struggled being so far away from home after her battle with anorexia last year and returned home shortly after her mom’s visit.
"I'm going to figure out my anxiety next week. It’s just like pretty bad. And I want to get evaluated,” Amelia told her mom.
The RHOBH star said she “could not imagine” her daughter still being 3,000 miles away.
Amelia agreed and revealed she is “so much happier” being with her family in California.
The model then said she plans to transfer to the prestigious University of Southern California – which is at the center of the infamous college admissions scandal.
Amelia told her mom: ”I have all my math requirements to transfer into USC.
“This is so that if I get in, I won't have to take another math class. I'll have my math credits for college.”
Lisa joked back: “Good! Because I'm not going to put you on a rowing machine and take a picture of you.”
As the reality star laughed, her daughter quipped back: “That was the wrong thing to say. I’m trying to get into USC here. Like… let's not.”
"I'm joking, I would never, ever do that. I really wouldn’t,” Lisa assured.
Lori, 55, and her husband Mossimo Giannulli allegedly staged pictures of daughters’ Olivia Jade, 20, and Isabella, 21, rowing as part of their efforts to get the girls into USC on fraudulent athletic credentials.
Last month, the photos were made public which reportedly "really embarrassed" Olivia.
A source told UsWeekly of the influencer: "Olivia was going to go back to her parents' home with Bella and focus on filming content and getting back to her old digital life.
"After the photos came out, Olivia took a step back and even postponed some online collaborations with friends.
"This has been a tough setback for Olivia,” the insider said of the ongoing scandal.
The Full House star and the fashion designer were arrested in March 2019 and are accused by federal prosecutors of paying $500,000 to ensure their daughters would be accepted to the school as crew recruits.
The couple pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Lori and Mossimo are due to stand trial in October.
