Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans also recognize Lois as the grandmother to 21-year-old Delilah and Amelia Hamlin, 18.
On the hit reality show, Lisa’s mother bravely opened up about being attacked by a Bay Area serial killer nearly six decades ago.
‘Women coming out, being honest about being raped and sexually harassed. I mean they’ve kept quiet for a long time, and there’s a reason why they keep quiet,’ Rinna said in an episode televised last April.

‘You were lucky,’ Rinna told her mother.
‘I was very lucky, very,’ Lois agreed. ‘I should not even be here. You shouldn’t even be here.’
In a confessional, Rinna explained that a few years before she was born her mother was attacked by a male co-worker, who picked her up at a bus stop and then drove her down a deserted road.

‘I thought that was it, that I was going bye-bye. He’s straddling me, and he had a hammer in one hand, a knife in another,’ Lois said.
Rinna said the man tried to rape and kill her mother, but luckily a military policeman saw them driving down the deserted road and intervened.
Lois said that she was the first victim of David Carpenter, 88, that he went to jail for and he spent seven and a half years behind bars.

Rinna and Lois said Carpenter upon his release then became a serial killer – known as the Trailside Killer – who killed an estimated 16 to 18 women before being imprisoned for life.
The four-time Emmy nominee said that growing up Lois told her she couldn’t smell anything and had metal plates in her head because a kid on the playground hit her with a hammer.
‘When I finally learned the truth, I had such great sadness and empathy for my mom knowing that, not only did this happen to her, but that she basically just stuffed those feelings for how many years. She never dealt with it. She never even talked about it. She never even told her daughter about it,’ Rinna said.
