Lisa Rinna pulled off the ultimate assist to help Rob Rausch get Maura Higgins the Birkin bag he promised her after his betrayal on The Traitors.
“Let’s talk about the Birkin bag!” Rinna, 62, said via TikTok on Sunday, March 8. “I’m so excited about the bag. I’m so excited that we got to come full circle,” the reality star said. “You can see how happy Maura is.”
She went on to say that “of course” she helped Rausch, 27, buy the Hermès bag, which customers can only acquire if they have a relationship with a sales associate and spend a significant amount of money on other products. “I said I would, and we did it. We got it for her.”
“It was so fun helping Rob. My friends Isaac Boots and Jeffery helped with that connection because they had the? connection in New York, so we were able to make that happen quickly,” Rinna explained, noting that they would have otherwise had to travel to Paris to get the bag that is estimated to cost between $16,000 and $22,000. “It would have taken a bit longer.”
She gushed that it was “so magical” to help Rausch, who picked up the purse with Jake Shane to “have a gay with him.”
“It all worked out so magically and then for Rob to give it to Maura on Watch What Happens Live. Just tickled me,” she quipped. “All of it has brought me so much joy.” Rinna also praised the dramatic finale for being “phenomenal.”
“Queen Maura got her Birkin!! #traitors #birkin,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star captioned the post. Higgins, 35, and more fans shared their excitement in the comments section.
What’s in my new birkin starting with my @Summer Fridays lip butter balm???? #whatsinmybag #fyp #hermes #birkin
“The woman you are WE LOVE YOU ♥️♥️♥️,” she gushed. Rinna replied, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.” A follower added, “I’m loving the Lisa, Maura and Rob trio ????????????????????,” while a second commented, “I love y’all’s friendship.”
Rausch vowed to purchase Higgins a Birkin bag with the $220,800 prize money he won on the show after he tricked her into thinking he was a Faithful. Rausch was a Traitor alongside Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett. He later recruited Eric Nam to be a Traitor after both women were banished from the castle. Donna Kelce was also a secret Traitor.
Rausch ended up purchasing Higgins a red Birkin bag, which she has been seen rocking while out and about in New York City.
