Lisa Rinna Opens Up About Her Father’s Assisted Suicide—A Powerful Journey of Love and Loss

Let’s dive into the emotional rollercoaster that is Lisa Rinna’s latest podcast episode—because who doesn’t love a deep dive into the complexities of life and death, especially when it comes with a side of glam? On March 28, during her “Let’s Not Talk About the Husband” podcast, Rinna disclosed the profound experience of losing her father, Frank, to assisted suicide back in 2016. At the ripe age of 94, Frank had endured significant pain and unhappiness, leading him to make the heart-wrenching decision to choose his own exit, all thanks to Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. Now, before we conjure images of a somber, tear-soaked farewell, let’s be real—Rinna painted the scene with a blend of tenderness and surrealism that would make any filmmaker take notes.
She described the agonizing yet liberating process that spanned three to six months, requiring not one but two doctors to approve her father’s terminal illness. Talk about red tape! Rinna admitted that while she wanted to support her father’s wishes, the reality of “watching your parent kill themselves” was a tough pill to swallow. However, her dad was resolute, and with her mother’s approval, the family rallied around Frank’s choice. In a scene fit for a movie, Rinna and her sister even helped him administer the fatal cocktail—complete with Frank Sinatra serenading in the background.
What’s even wilder? The whole thing took 45 minutes to unfold, and Rinna candidly shared that it felt “trippy,” as if she were floating outside of her own body. While the experience was deeply personal, it also served as a reminder of the complexities surrounding death and the choices we make. So, as we sip our morning coffee, let’s remember that life—and death—can be a beautifully chaotic affair.
