Lisa Rinna reveals daughter Amelia Hamlin got life-threatening infection from nipple piercing
Lisa Rinna shared a “cautionary tale” about her daughter Amelia Hamlin’s life-threatening health scare.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum shared on her “Let’s Not Talk about the Husband” podcast with her spouse, Harry Hamlin, that their youngest daughter’s nipple piercing once got infected.
Rinna said the health issue began when Amelia was partying at Coachella at age 19.
“She was, like, up on a balcony. Somebody pushed her — kind of, like, pushing forward — and her boob went into, like, a bush, and it jammed the nipple into the boob,” the matriarch, 62, explained.
“She came home that night and, all of a sudden, she had a super high fever, and her boob was this big.”
Rinna said she had to rush Amelia, now 24, to the hospital at around 2 a.m. to get an X-ray.
“We thought maybe something was wrong with her ribs,” the former “Housewife” said, adding that her youngest daughter’s breast continued to swell up.
Rinna said they ended up calling an “infectious disease doctor,” who diagnosed Amelia with sepsis, which is when the body responds poorly to an infection and can cause organs to shut down, per the Mayo Clinic.
“From the nipple ring?” Harry, 73, asked, prompting Rinna to reply, “From whatever it punctured. She punctured something when she went into the bush.”
The details made the “Mad Men” alum squirm and say, “I don’t wanna hear anymore.”
Rinna continued to share, however, the treatment Amelia had to endure, stating, “She had to be on IV antibiotics for a week. It was actually very dangerous, guys. It was dangerous.”
The former soap star said that Amelia’s incident prompted her older sister, Delilah Hamlin to also take out her nipple piercing.
She said, “Nobody wanted to die ’cause they had a freaking nipple ring.”

Teresa Giudice shared why it’s been “so hard” for Bravo to “make a decision” about the new season’s cast of the Real Housewives of New Jersey – amid reports that she wasn’t asked back. The star also addressed if she’d consider filming the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City as Whitney Rose’s friend.
According to new reports, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, and Margaret Josephs were the only original stars to film test footage with newbie castmates for the upcoming season. One source claimed that Teresa likely won’t film at all.
On Teresa’s Turning The Tables podcast, the star threw shade at certain costars.
“Basically, they were all trying to ice me out [so that] maybe then Teresa won’t come back,” she explained. “So that’s why it’s been so hard for — I guess Bravo — to make a decision [on] what they want to do.”
Her guest Christian Gray Snow added, “[When Housewives’] focus now is, ‘Hey we gotta make sure that we’re not doing this in this scene and we’re not talking to her in this scene,’ it’s like, now we’re focusing on the wrong thing. The self-producing is … what’s caused problems on these shows.”
“Right,” said Teresa. “And that’s why I feel like Salt Lake City is amazing. I’ve been watching Salt Lake City. I’ve been learning a lot. Yes, so I’ve been reflecting and learning and watching, and we’ll see what the future holds.”
Teresa hinted that she’d consider filming RHOSLC as Whitney’s friend.
“I’m so excited [for the new season] because I love Whitney so much. I’m like, I need to come on Salt Lake City. I’m like, ‘I’ll definitely have your back over there, girl.’ I’m like, ‘And you need to come to Jersey and have my back,'” said Teresa. “That’s my girl in Salt Lake City. I love Whitney. In Miami, I love Alexia and Larsa, even Larsa because Larsa and I did House of Villains together. Yes. And then in Dubai, it’s Chanel. I love Chanel and Taleen because I bonded with them. So I have girls in like a lot of cities.”
