There’s nothing worse than falling into a bush at Coachella with a fresh nipple piercing and winding up with a sepsis-filled breast. Just ask Ameila Gray, the daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna. It happened to her, and it can happen to you.
Lisa Rinna says daughter Amelia Gray required IV antibiotics for the infection
Lisa’s iconic lips were moving at record speed during the latest episode of her podcast, Let’s Not Talk About the Husband. She co-hosts it with her husband and bolognese expert, Harry Hamlin. On the September 5 episode, they talked about their daughter’s unfortunate Coachella experience, which might make you think twice before getting your nips pierced.
“In the teenage years, I’m gonna say when everybody was like 19, yeah, there was some nipple piercing going on,” Lisa began, noting that their other daughter, Delilah Belle, also got hers done.
“I think it’s a cautionary tale,” she continued. “She was, like, up on a balcony. Somebody pushed her, like, pushing forward. And her boob went into, like a bush, and it jammed the nipple into the boob.”
The situation took a serious turn when they got home that night. Rinna said her daughter had a “super high fever” and they noticed her boob started swelling up to a “humungous” size. They rushed her to the emergency room.
“We thought maybe something was wrong with her ribs. She knew that she’d been pushed,” Rinna recalled.
Of course, it wasn’t a rib. It was a nipple, and the doctors had to act fast to save it.
“We didn’t know what to do, so we called an infectious disease doctor. She had to go to the infectious disease doctor. She had sepsis,” Lisa continued. “Sepsis in her freaking boob.”
Fortunately, they caught the infection before it could do any serious damage. After a week on IV antibiotics, Amelia and her nipple made a full recovery. However, the health scare prompted both Amelia and Delliah to do away with their piercings. The end of an era.
“[Delilah] took them out, too, because Amelia’s tale was very cautionary, and nobody wanted to die because they had a freaking nipple ring,” Lisa concluded.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
