Lisa Rinna To Star Opposite Daughter Delilah Hamlin For First Time In Lifetime Movie ‘Mommy Meanest’
Exclusive: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna will star opposite her daughter Delilah Hamlin for the first time in the Lifetime movie Mommy Meanest.
Mommy Meanest is set to premiere later this year on the cable channel. Inspired by actual events, the movie tells the story of a teenage girl with a history of emotional trauma who is relentlessly cyber-bullied, only to discover the culprit behind the horrific texts is her very own mother. Yikes.
No doubt to keep peace in the household, Hamlin isn’t playing her mother’s daughter in the movie. She appears as Summer, the friend of the cyber-bullied teen.
Here’s the official logline: The story follows divorced mother Madelyn (Rinna), who’s always had a tight bond with her daughter Mia (played by Briana Skye). But when Mia starts spending more time with her new boyfriend and is on the verge of leaving for college,...

Melissa Joan Hart is addressing all of the talk about her latest role.
Back in October, Lifetime release the movie Would You Kill For Me: The Mary Bailey Story in which the 47-year-old Sabrina the Teenage Witch actress plays Ella, the grandmother of Mary (Presley Allard) and mother of Veronica (Olivia Scriven). The character of Mary is said to be only 11, while the character Veronica was 16 when she gave birth to her daughter.
Now months after it was released, the movie is going viral with fans freaking out that Melissa played a grandmother.

“There is no way Melissa Joan Hart is old enough to play anybody’s grandmother on television, let alone children who can form full sentences, and are two lessons away from passing a driver’s license test. Pls,” one person tweeted.

Melissa Joan Hart is a grandma! Well, sort of. In a perhaps telling sign of the industry’s idea of roles women of a certain age should be playing, the actress recently portrayed a grandmother in the Lifetime movie Would You Kill for Me: The Mary Bailey Story. Explain that!
Considering Melissa Joan Hart will forever be a teenage witch to many of us, it is a bit jarring to find her being cast in the role. But it’s not just that our memories can’t mathematically fathom Hart, now 47(!), playing a grandmother, it’s that it feels like further proof that the movie and TV business has no idea what to do with women after they’re “over the hill.” Admittedly, The Mary Bailey Story is based on a true story and the figures are indeed young, but it still feels like it plays into the topic as a whole.

Would You Kill For Me? The Mary Bailey Story is a Lifetime original drama based on a true murder story. Mary Bailey, a teenage girl who was forced to kill her stepfather, is the central focus of the story. Although, from the very beginning to the end, the film had the capacity to make anyone feel like turning it off and running away from it as far as one could, we still did the hard labor for anyone who wanted to have a detailed discussion about Would You Kill For Me?
