Lisa Rinna is setting the record straight when it comes to husband Harry Hamlin.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 62, addressed longstanding rumors that the former Mad Men actor, 74 — whom she has been married to since 1997 — is gay.

“Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” the Traitors alum wrote in her new memoir You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, which was released on Tuesday, February 24, according to Page Six.

“He is not a gay man in any way, shape or form, not that there’s anything wrong with that,” she continued.

Rinna believes the rumors about Hamlin — with whom she shares daughters Delilah Belle, 27, and Amelia Gray, 24 — began after he starred as an openly gay character in the 1982 film Making Love.

“Mainstream films about gay men are still rare today, but back then it was unheard of,” Rinna wrote.

However, she said he made a “brave decision” to do the film, which garnered mixed reviews upon its release due to its themes on homosexuality, and that it “bit him in the ass.”

While she said it “was something that he felt was absolutely necessary to do,” Hamlin’s film career appeared to take a hit.

“To this day, Harry says he would do Making Love all over again because it was so impactful,” Rina wrote. “Harry changed so many people’s lives, and that’s why he wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Rinna said she first learned of the rumors regarding Hamlin’s sexuality when she joined Bravo’s Housewives franchise in 2014.

“I just figured bitches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me,” she said. “My reaction was always more, ‘why you mad, boo?’”

“When you’re a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to ‘is he gay?’” Rinna added.

Hamlin was previously married to Laura Johnson from 1985 to 1989 and to Nicollette Sheridan from 1991 to 1992. He also shares son Dimitri Hamlin, 45, with ex Ursula Andress.
