Hamlin Family Drama Over the Years: From Amelia's Relationship With Scott Disick to Delilah's Overdose

Living their lives publicly. After Lisa Rinna joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2014, viewers were quickly introduced to her family and all of their individual struggles. Fans have gotten to know Rinna's husband, Harry Hamlin, and their daughters, Amelia Gray Hamlin and Delilah Belle Hamlin, over the years, and as they watched Amelia and Delilah grow up, the sisters started using that platform to have candid conversations about their personal struggles. In November 2021, Delilah revealed that she had developed health issues that led to her getting hospitalized. "Basically, in the beginning of the year, I want to say February and March, is when I got my COVID-19 vaccine," she explained in a lengthy Instagram video at the time. "And after the second vaccine, I was sick for, like, 36 hours. I felt like my bones were breaking but, like, whatever. ... That's when everything kind of started." Delilah clarified that she was not against the vaccine, but that getting the second vaccine "flared up and triggered certain autoimmune diseases" that she wasn't aware of initially. [jwplayer fdFE8JQc-zhNYySv2] "I started getting really sick, I started feeling like I had the flu. I was getting migraines, I was having panic attacks — it was like my body was in constant 'fight or flight' mode. It was horrible," she detailed. "I just knew in my gut that there was something else wrong." In the emotional social media post, Delilah noted that she was not doing great "mentally" amid the difficult experience, saying, "I'm feeling hopeless since the last place I went to didn't really work out. I can look perfectly fine and feel perfectly horrible. That's just that. That's something I struggle with mentally, is feeling believed." Shortly after Delilah opened up about the ups and downs in her life, Rinna addressed her daughter's condition. "Thank you to all of the angels who have reached out, sharing their stories, sending their love and prayers, we are so grateful to you all for your help and your guidance!!" the Melrose Place alum wrote via her Instagram Stories. One month later, Delilah made headlines when she shared a TikTok video with the caption, “Unrealistic things I want for Christmas … for my parents to pay for my trauma therapy.” The since-deleted December 2021 upload caused fans to question where Delilah stands when it comes to her parents, who have yet to publicly comment on the video.

Amelia's Eating Disorder

In April 2018, Amelia got honest about her journey to recovery after struggling with an eating disorder.

“I feel comfort with finally posting something that I wish I was confident enough to post long ago,” the California native captioned side by side photos of her one year prior compared to her currently. “Last year at this time there was no doubt that I was not okay. Not only physically but also mentally ... . Instead of people ever commenting on my mental stability, people commented on my weight. Usually, when people are struggling with an eating disorder it stems from your mind, and your body is a reflection of it. Once I got the help that I needed, shortly after the second photo was taken, I began to try to love myself for me.”

As Rinna discussed her daughter's eating disorder on the Bravo reality series one year later, Amelia reflected on the decision to share her story with the world.  

“I didn’t tell anyone I planned to ‘come out,’ so to speak. Instead, I took my phone down to the beach to be alone and started drafting an Instagram post — just writing it down helped me a lot. I started crying. Even for me, it was powerful to read the truth. I felt lighter,” she wrote in a vulnerable essay for Glamour magazine in June 2019. “I wish I could pull up a screen and show the world a play-by-play of my past."

Amelia also called out the people claiming her mother didn't help her, detailing, "My mom tried to help me so much, but every time I’d just be like, ‘No, I’m fine, I’m just on a weight-loss journey.’ To have people saying she didn’t do enough hurts my heart so much. If they could only see how much I rejected her help and how much I pushed her away — it hurts me for her.”

Delilah and Amelia's Participation on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

After being accused of lying about her eating disorder to get “air time” on RHOBH, Amelia called out the accusations.

"I usually don’t post these. But this really got to me. Lying about a mental illness is disgusting. Something I hope nobody would ever do. I seriously can’t believe I’m being accusing of lying about anorexia to get more 'air time' sorry but I’m forced to be on the housewives by my mom," she wrote via Instagram in July 2020. "Ask anyone it’s the last thing I want to do. I couldn’t care less about air time. So f—k you."

The model quickly made headlines for her use of the word forced, which she later clarified.

"CAN EVERYONE PLEASE CALM DOWN AND STOP!!! My mom is so so amazing. She 'encouraged' me to be on the show in my opinion I was 12 and didn't know what it was going to be like. And I'm so glad that she encouraged me to do so. I've been able to touch so many souls with my story," Amelia explained via her Instagram Stories that same month. “All I was trying to say was that I'm not just on this show for a f—king story line you guys chill."

She added: "Obviously it's been six years. I could have stopped filming long ago. Can you just all chill? I haven't 'cause I have a story to tell to HELP people and now I've become super close to all the women and I love them. Like would you wanna be on national television at 12???????????”

Rinna, for her part, addressed the situation on Instagram, writing, “I may do a lot of things, but I don’t force anyone to do anything. So chill.”

Delilah's Overdose

During a November 2021 Instagram video, Delilah recalled how an attempt to seek treatment for her panic attacks with a psychiatrist turned into her being over-prescribed "three milligrams of Xanax a day."

"My body got dependent on Xanax number one, and number two, I overdosed. I didn't mean to at all. I overdosed on this one medication called Propranolol," Delilah shared during the video. "I took Benadryl with it and, for some reason, I ended up in the hospital."

Delilah's visit to an Arizona center, which she emphasized was not a rehab facility,  helped her kick her dependence on Xanax, but she continued to face other symptoms as a result of her declining mental health.

"I'm having seizures left and right," she said. "My health is getting scary. ... Unfortunately, I was I think a medical risk, so I was politely asked to leave after three weeks of being there and making a best friend."

Lisa and Harry's Reaction to Amelia's Relationship With Scott Disick

Amelia sparked romance rumors with Scott Disick in October 2020, which shocked Rinna and Harry at the time.

“It’s a what the f—k moment. You’re like, ‘What the f—k?’ She’s 19. He’s 37 with three kids,” the Days of Our Lives alum told her costar Erika Jayne in a June 2021 episode. “We’re thinking it’s a phase, right? It’s a phase, I don’t want to bring attention to it.”

Three months after their relationship was mentioned on RHOBH, Us Weekly broke the news that Amelia and Disick had split after less than one year of dating. Rinna noted that her opinion of the romance didn't play a role in the breakup.  

"There’s never one reason why I think people split up, you know. Now’s the time to heal, now’s the time for everyone to heal,” the Veronica Mars alum told host Andy Cohen during the October 2021 reunion episode.

Harry, who also voiced his disapproval of the major age gap in the past, later offered an update on how his daughter was doing after calling it quits with the Talentless cofounder.

“Look, Amelia’s doing great. She’s living in New York, and she’s having the time of her life solo,” the Mad Men alum said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in December 2021. “I have no idea [about the breakup]. I didn’t pull the curtain. I have no idea what exactly happened there. I’m just glad that she is solo. Put it that way.”

Delilah Shading Her Parents Amid Her Health Issues

After deleting one TikTok video that seemingly addressed her relationship with her parents, Delilah posted another video where she jokingly brings up her mental health issues.

“I’m so sorry that I’ve been acting weird for the past several months. I’m struggling mentally,” she lip-synched in the December 2021 clip.

At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Delilah's video came from "a moment of frustration," noting that the model “wouldn't have posted it and aired her issues with her parents if they weren't real.” 

Although Rinna may not see eye to eye with her older daughter all the time, the insider added that the Melrose Place alum would never “refuse giving her [child] money if she needed it."

Amelia's Displeasure With Her Mother's Social Media Posts

In December 2021, the Rinna Beauty founder made headlines after she posted a video of her daughters and Delilah's boyfriend, Eyal Booker, dancing to Rod Stewart’s “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”

Amelia called her mother out for sharing the TikTok on her social media, writing, “No way you posted this.” She also added: “Plz no. Like we said we’d do it for you not for the internet thank y.”

Shortly after Rinna deleted the post, the Bravo personality shared a new video of her dancing to the song alone, writing, "This kids doing it so much cuter but whatever."
