Lisa Vanderpump of Vanderpump Rules called out former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' co-star Kyle Richards over their failed friendship. The two have had some bad blood between them since the middle of last season with neither one willing to forgive or forget.
Vanderpump helped make The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills a household name and had starred on the hit franchise since its inception in 2010. This past year, however, the restaurant owner and former actress abruptly decided she would be leaving the much-loved show behind after numerous fallouts with the women. The fan-favorite was known for her over the top mansion and the tiny dogs that she loved like children and also dressed up to match her. There were many different reasons why Vanderpump decided to leave the show, but it was ultimately just too much stress to deal with the other women's drama alongside dealing with the suicide of her brother.
Kyle Richards and Vanderpump were partners in crime when it came to be co-starring on the Bravo show, but sadly Vanderpump was not interested in salvaging their friendship when she departed the show. On Saturday, November 16th, while at BravoCon, the animal rights activist told fans that she had a few recent run-ins with Richards while out at a Los Angeles restaurant. Us Weekly said that the two Beverly Hills housewives barely even exchanged a greeting before quickly turning their backs on one another.
Vanderpump commented on the interaction, saying, "That was just perfect for me." Then, referring to the drama that conspired during the last season of the show, the restauranteur said, "It’s just when, if it’s a friendship, then you know, I wouldn’t experience what I experienced the year before. If it was a real friendship." Richards spoke out during an OG Housewives panel on November 15th, telling fans that it was not the first time she had run into Vanderpump since the "puppygate" scandal on The Real Housewives. Richards revealed, "I’ve seen her twice in Neiman Marcus, and at a restaurant last week." She shaded her co-star, saying to the crowd, "I said to the hostess, 'Are you kidding me?' Then we said, 'Hello.' I mean, 'I said hello.'" This dig caused fans to gasp in the audience.
Vanderpump made sure to not run into any more of her co-stars, thanks to cooperation from the network. However, some of her former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars were more than ready to exchange pleasantries. Teddi Mellencamp who recently announced she was pregnant with her third child told a Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen panel that she had no intention of trying to snub Vanderpump and thought it was childish to try and avoid her. Though there is definitely a grudge between Vanderpump and Richards, there seems to be little love lost between Vanderpump and the other The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills woman.
