Courtesy/NBC
Days of our Lives returning Lisa Rinna (Billie Reed) appeared on last night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live (Weeknights at 11PM EST on Bravo) with Bravo host and executive, Andy Cohen!
During the rapid-fire questioning of Cohen’s infamous segment “Plead the Fifth” several startling revelations came to pass including one where Rinna indicated, and agreed with Cohen, that she thinks that Joseph Mascolo (Stefano Dimera) is the worst actor on the NBC soap! Plus, Lisa thinks reality show star, Taylor Armstrong (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) is most in need of a Lip Surgery reduction!
Then, Rinna spoke of what bugged her the most about Star Jones during their time together on Celebrity Apprentice! Lisa stated, “The way she would breathe!”
Since the original post broke today, Lisa Rinna took to her twitter account after realizing she probably got herself in hot water with Joe Mascolo tweeting, “I think I’m Stefano’s next hit for sure! Yikes….”
Watch the video clip here of how Rinna answered the above, and let us know if you agree with any of it!

I love me some Lisa Rinna but I can’t believe she said Joe Mascolo was a bad actor. I think he is just getting older. I agree with her about Taylor needing lip reduction. I have not watched the video so I don’t know exactly what she said so I will watch it soon.
I don’t agree that Joseph is the worst actor on Days.
Currently, there’s no one that I think is really horrible on Days. When Ari Zuker first started, she wasn’t that good. I would have fired her, but she improved dramatically and I think she does a great job now. Kate Mansi wasn’t so hot in the beginning, but has improved as well. I think some of the regulars have days when they aren’t so hot, but overall, I’m happy with the acting quality.
Yes, Taylor A does need some lip help.
Star wasn’t as great on CA as she thought she was.
What ??? I think she is the worst actress !
I’m not crazy about her either. She is all hype!
Look closely at the clip is seems like it has been edited and manipulated to serve it’s purpose to cause controversy. I would have to see the whole raw feed of that LisaR interview to trust what is implied.
Excuse me Lisa…Who are you to say Joe Mascolo is an awful actor? How could you try to belittle a fellow actor on Days?
Joe can run rings around Lisa…He hasn’t been on Days this long for nothing. Sorry, I just can’t believe she would say that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i cannot believe she said that!! i think she is a horrible actress!
joe is a legend and an amazing actor! he is in his 80’s and still bringing his “A” game!! In my honest opinion, I think Galen is one of the worst actors on the show and he hasn’t improved much. (i have studied acting)
I have no respect for Lisa. This was a unprofessional, rude and disrespectful comment. All I can say now is, “Dont let the door hit you on your way out!”
If you ever saw him on Dirty Soap, you’d realize he’s a genius actor!
Lisa misspoke. She meant to say herself.
Lisa Rinna is nothing but an attention seeker and always has been!
Such unkind remarks about others only make her look worse. How many years did she wait to get her own lips reduced? Complaining about someone breathing?
That’s not a very professional or polite thing to say about your fellow co-worker. Not only is it hurtful, it’s categorically wrong. He’s a very soapy actor. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad actor.
I do agree with her about Starr Jones though. Man she breathes loudly.
Joe Mascolo is not the worst actor. Maybe she joking. I think the worst actor is someone who just came back to the show and his acting hasn’t improved over the years. Not talking about Matt Ashford or the guy who plays Austin.
Lucas?
Naw, the actor who plays Lucas is pretty good. I am referring to an older actor who was on the canvas in the 80’s, 90’s and early 00’s. I can’t help but laugh when this guy recites his lines!
Doug? John Aniston?
she should keep her mouth shut about all the other idiots like herself that got there lips done to look like a pouty trout its ugly and so is she ,and who gives her the right to say that a actor, a person she worked with and will work again with ,that he cant act,does she think she can ?I just started watching dool,and I have to say I hope no matter who her character is ,that she does not stay very long.
OMG…, Barbara! I NEVER heard U talk like this… It must be getting contagious on here, LOL with U picking up on some of other’s bad habits telling peeps off on here. LOL Well it’s not bad, bc Ur commenting about Lisa Rinna, and not speaking to anyone direct. LOL But we all really enjoy one another on this site. We may disagree (but just like family) we tell one another to GET A GRIP and we move on and forget it. Your Todd is back, focus on that. Lisa Rinna is all hype and over-rated. I posted that somewhere. She’s an attention seeker. She tries too hard. Hey if it works for her, so be it. I’m not into her. She was ‘over the top’ on Dancing w/the Stars. Quite un-professional for her to say her co-worker can’t act. Her lips PROBABLY can’t kiss, Ut oohhh. I’m being bad now. But why would she be talking about anyone’s lips (Taylor Armstrong-Real Housewives of Beverly Hills). Has she looked in the mirrow? That’s not cool. Lisa, I’m surprised at you BC you are too visual around Hollywood for these type of mishaps, and U don’t have ‘ THAT MUCH ‘ Star power for your statements not to cause a backlash/backlisted affect. Guard your Ego, Lisa!
I just erased, wiped out everything I just wrote ,I dont like lisa renna ,trout mouth ,I did get into a war with words with alexa again ,her and her fancy words she left her mark at a few places ,go there and you will see start at the top,its at ,breaking news,39th daytime emmy acting pre nominations announced ,you havent posted there yet,there is alot of interesting posts .back to lisa who does she think she is?taylor armstrong ,thats her name her lips are nasty to, but for one big lip lady to tell another big lipped women what to do with there lips is stupid ,she is a self centered trollop I dont think she can act,shes also a ex playboy bunny girl,so pretty much everything is fake with her,looks like you dont like her either.and I agree she is very overrated .
I googled Taylor Armstrong last night. Her lips aren’t as bad as Lisa Rinna’s! Taylor’s lips are WIDE across her face and CERTAINLY not a HUGE as Lisa’s, LOL. Some pictures with Taylor’s lips don’t look so bad (just wide across her face) BUT Lisa’s lips come out at U in her pictures BC they are so FULL and PLUMP. Well she wants attention so bad and she got them with those lips of her’s. And she has some nerve speaking about Star Jones breathing. The woman has asma, and had problems with her breathing (on top of that) over the year’s because of her weight issue she had. A person can’t help the way the breath of ALL things…. Obviously Lisa ISN’T a good actor BECAUSE if she was, she would of known to AVOID those questions about her co-star and the rest. So that itself makes Joe Mascolo a BETTER actor than she altogether.
She’ a silly, little tart who will do anything for press, she always has been. I’m not happy to see her back at days, so she was on thin ice with me to start with. She better stop stomping her feet before that ice breaks. Her best bet would be to stay out of the press and keep her trap shut.
i agree ,I just saw her on days of our lives and if she said she got her lips deflated shes not being honest because those lips of hers are still freaking huge.I hope she does go through the ice.and doesnt stay on dool for long.
I saw Lisa and her lips today on DOOL. Her lips still appear overly inflated and deformed. If she had reduction surgery, she could stand to have it done again. I can’t believe she has the nerve to suggest other women should have corrective surgery when she looks the way she does.
big mouth
are we talking about lisa rinnas lips or the advice she is giving the other big lipped woman?she does have a big mouth and she should keep it shut.
lmao!
U couldn’t be more CORRECT. BIG MOUTH, literally, AND……. physically…! lmoa!
Joe Mascolo is a great actor. Where are you coming from with this. He is from the old school. Best villan on TV.
We have been watching him since 1981, since he first step foot in Salem, and we haven’t stop watching because of him, not because of you!
I”ve lost respect for you for saying such a STUPID thing.
