Lisa Rinna and her daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin are hitting the Lifetime screen together for the network's newest movie!

The mother-daughter duo will star in Mommy Meanest, a film inspired by true events, which tells the story off a teenager who faces significant emotional trauma after she's cyberbullied through a series of texts. She later discovers that her own mother is behind the malicious messages.

Per Deadline, the movie's official logline reads, "The story follows divorced mother Madelyn (Rinna), who’s always had a tight bond with her daughter Mia (Briana Skye). But when Mia starts spending more time with her new boyfriend and is on the verge of leaving for college, Madelyn is panicked by her emerging independence. When Mia starts to receive a barrage of degrading texts, as a protective mother, Madelyn is determined to find out who is harassing her daughter and will do anything to help her, bringing them closer together again. As the hundreds of texts become more threatening, Mia begins to wonder if her tormentor is someone closer than she could have ever imagined."

"I’m so excited to share this! 😍 🎭🎬" Rinna wrote beside a celebratory post about the project on Instagram Thursday, adding on her Instagram Story, "Let's goooooo"

In a conversation with PEOPLE the following month, the television personality confessed she didn't expect the kind things viewers had to say about her after her departure.

"I didn't expect that, I really didn't," she explained. "That is the thing that was unexpected to me the most about everything. I thought people would mostly be like, 'Thank God we got her fired' — and some were, don't get me wrong. But the majority of it was love."

"Even the way people described my eight years on the show, with words like 'legend, icon, G.O.A.T.' — I said to [my husband, Harry Hamlin], 'There are things you'd normally only get to hear if you died!'" she joked. "And that's how it felt — like I died, but I didn't, and I got to see all the things that people would say about me at my funeral."

As for her daughter, Hamlin previously appeared in the 2023 Apple TV+ film How She Caught a Killer.
