Lisa Vanderpump Slammed for Allegedly Having 'Chosen Not to See' RHOBH Cast
The cast resent the fact that Vanderbump has kept distance with them in the wake of the loss of her brother, and they criticized her during a recent episode of the show.
On the June 25 episode of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (RHOBH), the discontent the rest of the cast feel regarding 58-year-old co-star Lisa Vanderpump became evident when her absence during the season was brought up.
According to an exclusive US Weekly sneak peek, 42-year-old Dorit Kemsley made a reference to Vanderpump without mentioning her name, but the rest of the cast clearly knew whom she was talking about.
NO NEED TO MENTION HER NAME
“There’s been a certain thing this year with a friend of ours that we haven’t been able to move through,” Kemsley said to Camille Gramer, Erika Girardi, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, and Denise Richards.
“She’s chosen not to see any of us. She’s had endless invites and has not turned up,” Kemsley added after 50-year-old Kyle asked the group if anyone had seen Vanderpump lately.
“Everybody always says, ‘Oh, you look like you’ve got your life together,’ but I started that show this season like, two or three months after my brother passed. I just wasn’t in the right space,” the British-born restaurateur explained.
Since the subject came to surface among the reality TV stars, Kemsley also complained about Vanderpump not attending 50-year-old Grammer’s wedding shower and reception.
“You let her off the hook. You shouldn’t have let her off the hook so easily,” 55-year-old Rinna expressed, implying that Grammer should have had a stronger reaction to Vanderpump missing such special occasion in her friend’s life.
Grammer, touched by Rinna’s intervention, conceded that she might have been weak at the time, something about which her 48-year-old co-star Denise felt sympathy for.
DENISE RICHARDS’ INTERVENTION
In the confessional segment of the episode, Denise shared the outrage that Rinna’s pressure on Grammer, who lost her home in the 2018 Malibu fires, causes on her.
“This isn’t fair to her. She just lost her [expletive] house. Why are we talking about this right now? Seriously, just let it go,” Denise exclaimed.
SHE IS QUITTING
The “Vanderpump Rules” star recently admitted that the loss of her brother, who took his own life last year, left her with no energy to deal with the RHOBH drama during Season 9, which made her decide to stay away.
'It was such a brutal season for me, and it was at a time where I was floundering,' Vanderpump told RuPaul Charles during her appearance in the latter’s new talk show.
“Everybody always says, ‘Oh, you look like you’ve got your life together,’ but I started that show this season like, two or three months after my brother passed. I just wasn’t in the right space,” the British-born restaurateur explained.
There have been tensions rising between Vanderpump and most of her RHOBH castmates, with the former claiming that the latters had been harassing her for the best part of a year already.
Her distance with the rest of the cast was more evident early in June, when Vanderpump chose not to attend the show’s reunion episode.
ON LOSING HER MOTHER
As her feud with her RHOBH co-stars keeps getting worse, Vanderpump has more important matters to deal with, as another family tragedy has struck her a year after her 59-yar-old brother Mark died from an overdose back in England.
On June 20 Lisa’s mother Jean passed away aged 84, as Daily Mail first reported.
“As you go to RIP with Mark, mummy. A tragic year for sure. I thank all of you for your beautiful messages and words of kindness. Life is so fragile and I have no time for negativity,” Lisa wrote in a Twitter tribute to her late mother on June 25.
