On tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump’s manipulation of Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp has it’s own day in the sun. There were comments in the Vanderpump Rules recap from last night’s show begging Bravo to keep Lisa Vanderpump ‘s role to a minimum and take her manipulations and side-sniping back to RHOBH, but I don’t think that is going to happen. On tonight’s episode, some of the cast members eyes are opened. So let’s see how that all plays out. Except for the LVP stans who will be watching with eyes wide shut.
No one ever thought that the poor bereaved LVP would really stay anywhere except the nicest suite on offer did they? I hate Lisa Vanderpump even more for making me feel sorry for Dorit. In reality, they are all the same layout. Erika’s Jayne’s room comes with three hot gay guys to help her step into her bikinis and figure out which sponsored sunglasses she should wear when. Kyle’s suite has a pool table! I’ll take that one! She is rooming with Denise Richards. I’m really trying to tell Denise and Teddi Mellencamp apart. Dorit Kemsley doesn’t know Lisa Vanderpump is coming for her. She is literally sleeping with the enemy. And still in her usual suck-up mode. Dorit Kemsely, ever in competition with Erika Jayne, has plucked her own glam squad from somewhere.
Dog Gone It! I Don’t Want To Talk About The Dog!
After dozens of jabs at Dorit by LVP, all the other girls make it to her suite for drinks on the balcony. Denise Richards is stunned that everyone came for drinks dressed for the Oscars. Erika Jayne with seventy inches of weave to her head by her glam squad. Silly Denise packed for a relaxing time at the beach. Instead she is in a room of women all trying to one up each other with their designer duds.
LVP chats with Kyle on the balcony. She advises Kyle to make up with Kim and not let her relationships with her sister stay estranged like she did with her brother. Rinna joins the twosome and Lisa Vanderpump mentions that her butler, Elvis is bringing his cat to her room for her. Kyle wonders if Dorit is allergic to cats. The she jokes, “Maybe she’s allergic to dogs!” and here we go. Apparently, at this point Lisa Rinna is not aware of the situation. Lisa Vanderpump of course “isn’t going to talk about it.” At least not to anyone but the tabloids. Or the people at Vanderpump Dogs who can sell the story for her. Lisa Vanderpump goes to great lengths to pique Lisa Rinna’s interest.
Teddi, Kyle and Rinna Get Angry
The next day, in Teddi and Kyle’s room, the two of them walk Lisa Rinna through the situation. Rinna immediately sees that Lisa Vanderpump is setting Dorit Kemsley up. And she is manipulating Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp to do her dirty work. Look I love Kyle and Teddi seems like a nice girl, but they are the easiest two for LVP to wind up and send in to do her dirty work. She knows damn well Lisa Rinna won’t fall her fakery. Teddi Mellencamp is pissed that Lisa Vanderpump would try to use her to do her dirty work. Thus, her tagline this year.
The promotional tour of the new hotel continues with a short boat ride to their private island, Long Cay. I have to admit it really is making me want to go there. During a massage, Denise Richards tell LVP that her an adopted child has a chromosome disorder and she some degree of aphasia.
The Airing of Grievances
At the first luncheon, Lisa Rinna announces that Dorit brought them all together to basically air their grievances so they could all come together in perfect harmony. So some shit. Let’s call it what it is, round one of the RHOBH Vacation Smackdown.
Camille Grammer kicks off smackdown with a mild jab at Dorit for her abhorrent behavior in general and forgives her for nasty comments at a dinner last season. What Camille is there? She’s lost in the background even more than Denise. Dorit is glad someone is apologizing for something and quickly grabs the olive branch before Camille changes her mind.
Lisa Vanderpump turns on the crocodile tears, turns to Kyle to bring her into her attack on Erika, and then says she is hurt Erika didn’t call her after her brother died. This from the woman who didn’t call one single woman at this table to tell them she was bailing on the rest of the season of filming. At what point was LVP ever that close with Erika? Erika says she sent her a very personal note from her heart. She’s clearly offended. Who tells someone in front of a group that their condolence card was not good enough? Erika Jayne makes it clear to LVP that she is not to be messed with. She let’s Lisa Vanderpump know she will defend herself “down to the bone” if she attempts to come for her again. And that is how you handle Lisa Vanderpump. Eventually, Lisa Vanderpump makes up with Erica.
Lisa Has A Pity Party For One
OMG! Just when we are ready to move on, Lisa Vanderpump does a talking head to let us know that the other ladies in the group sent flowers. Whatever LVP. Who whines about not getting flowers from a co-worker on national TV? And the flowers apparently didn’t curry any favor from you either. Your manipulative behavior seems to have escalated. Someone was watching a marathon of RHOBH today. She commented that it was clear watching the scene about Yolanda Foster’s Munchhausen, that Lisa Vanderpump was the one leading the others to say the word. This is her modus operandi
Some of you could do with an old fashioned history lesson in RHOBH the early years
Erika insists that Denise reenact a James Bond scene in the water to cheer her up after the tense lunch. Erika Jayne has a girl crush on Denise Richards. And can you blame her?
Your Condolences Weren’t Good Enough!
Erica Jayne and Lisa Rinna talk about Lisa Vanderpump’s odd reaction to receiving a hand-written note of condolence. This is how we do it in Georgia. And Erika is our Georgia peach. She’s also NYC street smart so she took a photo of the hand written note. Because, as she tells production, “It’s always a good idea to have backup when you are dealing with someone who is slippery.” Last year she sent condolences about Pink Dog dying and was told she didn’t send her a text about that. LVP requires quick and abundant condolences for every drop of rain in her life. Or, there will be public humiliation involved.
Everyone Calls Lisa Vanderpump Out
After a wardrobe change, the smackdown divas arrive for the main event. The dinner fight. We start with a team meeting in the ladies room for Rinna, Dorit and Camille. This gives Kyle and Teddi the opportunity to explain they are uncomfortable with all the behind the back conversations about Dorit. Lisa Vanderpump of course claims that has all been resolved. In fact, while on this very trip, I imagine John Sessa, who last name LVP always seems to pronounce differently as if he uses a fake name for the show or something, is on the phone with Radar Online.
Teddi Mellencamp informs Dorit that she has known about the dog situation for over a week. When she and Kyle were at Vanderpump Dogs, Lisa Vanderpump “pranced her dog out and told her and Kyle” about the situation. Dorit’s mouth drops wide open. And we go to commercial.
Oh apparently, the guy who was in charge with prancing Lucy out for Kyle and Teddi to see was John Blizzard. Is that not the same guy as John Sessa who is on the Vanderpump Dogs board of directors? Teddi now realizes that LVP was setting them both up by conveniently bringing out the dog and having John ask them both several times if they recognize the dog.
Lisa Vanderpump Denies, Denies and Denies
Of course LVP claims she has four hundred employees and can’t control them all. That reminds me so much of Kim Biermann’s delusions. She can’t stop her employees from publicly bad mouthing someone to her friends while she is sitting right there flapping about whimpering about how she just can’t possibly talk about it? Really now. Only abject morons believe her shit at this point. Even Dorit is starting to catch on.
When LVP tries to blame Dorit for not telling her, Dorit points out that she did tell her he day after it happened. Erica Jayne says Dorit told her the entire story. Production shows the playback of the conversation she had with Dorit about the situation two weeks ago. I love shady production this season.
Nobody Is Buying What Lisa Vanderpump Is Selling
Lisa Rinna tells her that it was clearly a set up. In her talking head, Rinna wonders if LVP is slipping because this set up is so fucking obvious. Perhaps it’s her grief that has her unable to function at her usual level of covert evilness?
Vanderpump makes Dorit cry and everyone comforts her. LVP wonders why Dorit is so upset. I think sometimes LVP really doesn’t understand the trauma she causes. Oh who am I kidding. The bitch lives for it. Only Camille remains on LVP’s side.
Lisa Vanderpump pivots her attack says that she never though Teddi would be gossiping. IT WAS YOUR EMPLOYEE LISA VANDERPUMP! Teddi is furious at Lisa Vanderpump’s accusations and she leaves for her room. LVP tosses a smartass “good night Teddi” in her wake.
Next week, Teddi refuses to let Lisa Vanderpump off the hook. And Lisa is the one who leaves the table and most likely runs back to Beverly Hills.
UPDATE!UPDATE!BREAKING NEWS!UPDATE!UPDATE!
Look what Teddi Mellencamp just tweeted!
Yaaaaaaas, Teddi! Bring those receipts!
I cannot take Dorit’s side. She could have taken the dog back to Vanderpump Dogs, she could have called LVP before taking the dog to her friend, why wait after she had given it away? because she knew LVP would be mad or tell her to bring the dog back to Vanderpump Dogs. She and her husband are grifters, they do not belong on this show. Honestly LVP has never seemed to like her that much, I mean she straight up told her last season that their relationship was really based on PK. I don’t know LVP won’t just say she doesn’t like her that does seem odd to me. But, it’s clear to me she she doesn’t but I don’t either so I was not moved by her crocodile tears. She shouldn’t be trying to buy Lisa’s affection first with the bracelet then the dogs.
There are no sides in this fight. Both LVP and Dorit are horrible for the dog situation and for different reasons.
True that
i am agreeing with Cho. both are despicable.
100%
I agree with your comment 100%. I feel no sorrow for Dorit and l didn’t like the women ganging up to be mean girls to LVP. I feel like last season was the beginning of the end of Vanderpumps relationship with both Dorit & Kyle. LVP is not perfect, but you’d think they’d all have a little more compassion considering all she’s been through.
exactly how I feel, geez, they are supposedly friends, if these are your friends, i would hate to see her enemies, stick to VPR she’s better off, make a new show wt Tom Tom, or the Vegas bar..
I agree 100% with your comment, Kat.
Kat – I agree 100%! I’ll never be on Dorit’s side. All of LA is kill shelters. When you adoopt a dog, you are responsible. You cannot give it to another person. It’s in the contract from any rescue group. YOu MUST give it back to the same rescue group. The entire point of rescue is to keep the dogs out of the Kill Shelters. ALL of LA is Kill Shelters. Once again LVP wins. The others look like absolute moronic idiots. Denise is growing on me.
You seem to think you have to believe Dorit in order for LVP not to be manipulating the fuck out of people in order to exile and punish Dorit.
The two things are mutually exclusive.
Both Dorit and LVP are horrible people.
THIS
Lisa and Ken act as if they are Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. They were not treated as royalty in England and will not be treated as such in the USA. They need to get over themselves with all their nonsense.
I’ve been waiting for Lisa to get caught red handed for seasons. I’m very frustrated this is what she got caught over, because Dorit doesn’t actually deserve better. Ugh!
Right! Also, when people share gossip or controversial facts with you, you don’t have to repeat it. No one is talking about how messy Kyle is. Kyle could have kept her “joke” to herself and never said a word. If Kyle and Teddy said nothing, then Lisa would have to skip a step and leak it to the tabloids like someone ended up doing anyway. RHOBH is pretty boring anyway. Their controversies are non-nonsensical. The implanted chip did its job and the dog was saved and brought back to Vanderpump Dogs. All of these ladies need to have a big cup of camomile tea and call it a day.
I love how kyle wouldnt let lisa pull her into her bullshit with erica
I never in a million years thought I would side with LVP BUT Dorit is the real stupid cunt, not Camille, and she deserves every bit of LVP’s harassment. Yes, LVP’s manipulative ways are a definite character flaw, but what Dorit did was disgusting and cemented my original assessment of her character.
First of all, she adopted a tiny little dog. PUPPIES must be trained. So a 4 pound puppy nipped at your children? Take it to a fucking training class – she/he is teething you stupid bitch. I don’t believe for a second there was a third party involved that happily agreed to house the dog, and then instantaneously dropped it off at a SHELTER – Dorit had some pseudo assistant drop it right off to the pound. She’s a classless, narcissistic cunt.
If LVP’s employee John has a personal relationship with Teddy, then I don’t blame him for contacting her. If that’s his profession, and his passion is rehoming and caring for dogs, then I would be absolutely LIVID some stupid bitch came, picked up a dog that was a prime candidate to be rehomed, and dropped it off at what statistically was probably a kill shelter.
Dorit deserves to look bad because she IS a bad person. After reading all the tea of LVP refusing to film this season, I was expecting it to be a blood bath against her. At this point, I’m hoping she collects enough sympathy, congeals it into a weapon, and destroys Dorit with it.
Psylocke, first of all where the hell have you been? Secondly, you are spot on about Dorit.
Where we differ is that LVP is just as awful. She was stuck trying to deal with Dorit because she and Ken were in bed together with Paul in London when they were all doing shady shit (and they all still are)
No one is going to side with LVP this season except maybe Camille. And LVP didn’t even go to Camille’s wedding so don’t hold your breath for her to support LVP either.
Aside from the Kemsley grifters, LVP and Ken are friends with Sir Philip Green – google him for a litany of dirty dealings, sexual harrasment and racist bullying. He’s in social Siberia now so they’ve probably distanced themselves.
The Vanderpump Todds mix in some seriously dubious social & business circles. And don’t forget Mo Hadid who doesn’t seem particularly trustworthy or likeable either.
“He’s in social Siberia now so they’ve probably distanced themselves.” I need to go back to giving gold star comments of the day, because this is errrythang.
100% with you!
All so convoluted. I just wish Dorit had taken the dog back to Lisa in the first place. Then none of this absurd drama would have happened. Dorit did the wrong thing by the dog and by the dog rescue place. She treated it like an inanimate object. I do not really like any of these women any more – just too wearing the way they whine on and on.
I think Pkraay and Dorito just wanted to avoid paying the 5000 dollars, they can hardly afford anything these days… shady broke losers. They did not handle the dog situation right (it had happened once already hasn’t it?)
When LVP commented “I never thought Teddy would be gossiping about it” that was then end of her for the season. Teddi is not going to let it go and Kyle will support her.
Dorit just stated on WWHL that she called LVP the day she gave the dog away. Lisa was fine with every thing and it never came up again until the cameras started rolling. Clearly, LVP knew more than she is letting on to on the show.
But Dorit told Erika on the show that she called Lisa the day after she gave the dog away so which is it?
@legallykat: The day of — or that day after — does it really matter?? LVP didn’t stop it. LVP didn’t talk to Dorit again until the camera’s were rolling. If LVP thought it was so awful she could have corrected it immediately with Dorit.
How could LVP stop it if it had already happened? Dorit’s story keeps changing. First she gave it to a friend now it’s an employee of PK. Also they said on the show the shelter called them within an hour because the dog was microchipped so LVP might have had the the dog back before Dorit called. How do we know LVP did not talk to LVP again until filming? Again all she had to do was just take the dog back. She needs to own her error and stop defending her irresponsibility. She should have read the contract.
She could have easily said that you need to get the dog back, you signed a contract.
This EXACT same shit happens on People’s Court and Judge Judy. They ALWAYS say you need to find the dog and bring it back to the plaintiff.
Erica you have just won my internet pet attorney heart. Got my law degree from Judge Judy University.
Dorit told LVP Lucy was going to a ‘fantastic’ family. Why wld LVP then ask Dorit to give back the dog to the center? It’s Dorits fault Lucy ended up at a shelter bc she picked the family. A responsible dog-owner wld have checked up on Lucy. So that things like this doesn’t happen. Thanks to LVP Lucy is fine, chipped ear. Not thanks to Dorit.
Findus, Oh, FFS, I have rescued 6 dogs, 3 from rescue shelters. At the shelters, I was asked a few questions, paid a fee, and signed a contract I didn’t read. No one ever “checked me out” or later “checked up on the dog”.
There are several dog owners on here, how many of y’all that rescued have had the shelter call or come by your house after adoption?
Suzy, LVP’s “rescue” also charges several hundred dollars to the people rescuing the dog. When it first opened social media was full of people who wanted to adopt but could not afford it and or didn’t pass her background check. IIRC initially James Kennedy wanted to adopt a dog and Jax mocked him for being “too poor to rescue a dog.”
This is not some big mystery and is not convoluted. Dorit is pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes.
She abandoned the dog. Dorit is in the wrong. Everyone in LA knows how it works.
I thought LVP problem was not being more angry with Dorit. She was too forgiving. That part I don’t understand.
It doesn’t matter if you read or didn’t read the contract. If you signed it your beholden to it. Doritos broke the contract. End. Of. Story. People who rescue take this VERY seriously. And for those complaining of adoption fees, vet and background checks prior to adopting, how do you think rescues recoup costs? They groom, fix/neuter, give shots, microchip and many times treat heartworm, parvovirus ,
Mites etc… A typical rescue charges 300 to 350 and up. The northeast starts at 350 and goes up to 500 or 600. I’m siding with LVP on this issue. Dorit has no excuse.
The other shitata is nothing but dumb games for a reality show. They all signed up to play. C’est la vie.
Lisa spoke to Dorit and PK after the dog showed up in a kill shelter. She spoke to her face to face and told her what their mistakes were. Dorit lied and said the dog was in a loving home snd she told Lisa she rehomed her after the fact. It was a done deal. Lisa believed her. Speaking to them on camera was the appropriate thing to do. Dorit’s behavior was heinous and she should have been spoken to.
Teddi is the one who wanted the story out and the text between her an the Johns prove that. So Teddi was gossiping. We see it on film. LVP did not mention Lucy in the Bahamas, Kyle did. Kyle lied and told Dorit Lisa was mad at her after Lisa told Kyle she was not mad at Dorit.
These women are unreal, backstabbing liars.
“Teddi is the one who wanted the story out ”
How does anyone’s brain malfunction in this way?
Hi. I’m new here…but at the end of the episode, LV received the string of texts from Teddi to LVs employee. They clearly show Teddi helping to set up the confrontation at the dog place. I believe that’s what the above comment was referring to.
Thank you! Facts! She straight LIED on WWHL! I caught that too and LVP isn’t going to waste her time tweeting or responding to Dorit and her lies…But it will catch up to her by reunion time!
Do you think LVP will film the reunion? I have my doubts.
I also can’t help but wonder if Dorit misled Lisa when she told her about the woman she found to take the dog. She made it sound like she and PK had checked the woman out and knew that the dog was going to a wonderful home. Tonight on Watch What Happens Live it comes out that it was a random woman who came to their house with a business associate of PK. Doris & PK didn’t do their due diligence & why should we believe that they were truthful about how they knew the woman when Dorit told Lisa.
Teddy clearly has a guilty conscience. Miss Accountability was happy to hear the stuff about the dog from John & now wants to cry I was manipulated by Lisa VP. If LVP manipulated her it was only because Teddy was an eager and willing participant.
You may just be right about Teddi – it looks like the texts next week aren’t going to look good for her … I paused on the text print-out and it said “you bring it out and I can say it looks like Dorit’sdog” or something like that. Probably they are texts between Teddi and one of the employees that the employee printed out for Lisa. So probably Teddi was in on it with Lisa as a joke because Dorit is a dumb bitch who humiliated her last season but Teddi was ill-equipped to conspire with Lisa and a tuslky thought she could trust Lisa not to pin all the blame on her (trust lisa! Hahahaha!)
The reason Teddi wanted the dog brought out was because Ken was trying to shut them down . At the time Ken and Lisa still considered the Kemsleys friends. Teddi was going to force it being mentioned on screen. That’s what all that BS about ” I am not innocent”. They are all liars.
Lesser Lisa jumped in on Kyle and Teddi’s musings and declared LVP the leaker. It is so bizarre. Lisa didn’t know a damn thing.
I work at a veterinary hospital and shelters do call to make sure that the adopter did their due diligence. Dorit was an irresponsible pet owner and should be held accountable for her actions. It honestly doesn’t matter whether or not Lisa leaked the story, dorits actions could have led to this dog getting euthanized because she didn’t want to pay a fine. This season seems very much like everyone was over Lisa and willing to look over dorits terrible actions to finally all hang up on LVP
yes! 1000% it is so true and it’s really sad. I cannot believe how awful they are to not care about animals. These are helpless animals killed in Kill Shelters!
Our wonderful dog was rescued on his last day, an amazing dog, rescued by a cat group because they fell in love with him. We had to go through a tough, thorough adoption process that included an in-home visit. This is how it is in LA. He was a wonderful dog and we had him for over 15 years until he passed. I hope Dorit is fired. She’s an awful human to be so irresponsible and then try to act like we’re too stupid to understand. If I were LVP I would’ve been livid.
Bingo! Rinna is right. The old LVP would never show her cards so clearly. She pivoted too fast and too clearly to call Teddi a gossip. I loved that Teddi said that’s BS and left.
Teddi was gossiping. She was gossiping to Lesser Lisa.
LVP is throwing rocks and hiding her hands – FFS!
For gosh sakes, this is all producer driven. Everyone just playing their part with some better actors than others and some just showing fake-reality lazily written. Still love LVP’s house more than any character.
I couldn’t agree more about loving that house more than anything else on this show!! I always go back and watch in slow-motion to see all the beautiful details. And damn would I love me some guard swans!
Dude, I keep wondering what they would have talked (fought) about this season if doggate hadn’t come around right before filing started! I’m sure it would have been some other ridiculous thing.
Also, poor Lucy, I feel like her name is being dragged through the mud as a biter! Maybe she is, but maybe she just needs a calm home without small children and crazy adults.
Great recap!
Well last year they fought about the shape of champagne flutes LOL!
That was given as much attention as the debate over whether an appointment was at “4:00” (Teddi) or “somewhere between 4:30 and 5:30” (Dorit). (For which Dorit was STILL late.)
hahaa you’re right… that is all so true!
I didn’t believe Dorit’s comment about telling Lisa the day after. On WWHL a lot of her statements contradicts what was already said on the 1st two episodes
I never believe a word out of Dorit’s mouth. The way she twists things around is ridiculous. I think she changed her story last night on WWHL because she sees that the public cares more about the dog being turned over to a kill shelter than any opinion of the housewives.
I liked after she spun her latest tale, Isaac Mizrahi said…what do you mean a good home? Are you talking about a house that is nicely decorated???
I will forever appreciate Erika for how brilliantly she handles LVP. I think at their most convivial, they recognize the clever bitch in each other, but otherwise Erika’s had her number for awhile and kept back. Out of the line of fire as much as one can, shuts it down fast. At least that’s the sense I get from watching + sometimes just reading recaps.
I haven’t watched yet, but I’m so glad Erika handled LVP like a total BOSS!
BOSS – just like those hideous earrings
Right? The taste level is questionable for certain!
Because her earrings have something to do with how Erica handled a LVP, who was being a nasty twat?
Lesser Lisa open the convo encouraging everyone to open up about something they wanted to say but were holding back. So. a women in tears tells you she thought you and she had gotten closer and she would have liked a phone call after her brother’s suicide. You yell at her and tell her you are not her friend and she’s lucky she got that. How kind. Ericunt is trash.
What type of defect do you have that prevents you from typing the cast members full names? Read the room, you are the only one doing it and it makes you look like an arsehole.
Yea, she was soooooo was about Erika’s card that she didn’t forget to try to throw Kyle under the bus. Her words were phrased carefully to make it seem like Kyle was gossiping about Erika to her, when in fact Kyle was just listening to her tell the story. A normal person would have said I (underline and bold that I) mentioned it to Kyle, not the way she said it. Good thing Kyle corrected her again.
She must be new. I put her in the middle place but I have a feeling she will be in WLS soon. She clearly hasn’t read the commenting rules.
They SEE EACH OTHAH!
Ugh I can’t stand Erika anymore . She’s so superficial and all about herself. Lisa was just trying to be real with her. And she looked like a fake snob when she pushed her food away in disgust . Come back down to earth , ya ain’t that great .LVP is not my favorite but I definitely side with her over Dorit . Dorit with her fake tears haha . I think they are all always trying to set each other up . They are all the same . These women are all rich bitches with nothing better to do.
On a lighter note I really loved the scene where Denise was talking about her adopted daughter with LVP. It was a genuine moment and you can tell. I like Denise and loved how she was like “ i’m lost – I can’t keep up with what these bitches are fighting about “.
I’m really liking Denise too. I love her home in Malibu! Talk about house envy!
I was gratefull she pushed the bowl away, it spared me from seeing her eat. So, so groas. Or drink from a water bottle, yuck! Get some Loreal long-wear lipstick & drink normally- raise the budget to $40,007.99/mnth.
I do think Dorit is lying about that. I cant think LVP would have been fine with being told the dog had been given away when her dog rescue specifically asks people who change their minds to take the dog/s back.
💯 percent – Dorit is a pro con woman!!
I also do not believe for a hot second that PK’s and Dorit’s house was robbed however many times she said it – at least twice or she might have said “multiple times” last week – sounds more like PK pulling an insurance fraud scam to me.
In response to Dorits robbery claims- from what I have read, she is telling the truth. Her items along with several other celebrities such as Usher, Jason Derulo and Adam Lambert were found in a storage locker owned by the thief. In the storage locker were over 2,00 items worth millions of dollars in expensive art, wine, jewelry, handbags etc. At the time the article was written the police were still tracing the items back to the owners. The police obtained a search warrant for the locker after finding the mans name on the open house sign in sheet. The alleged theif is Benjamin Eitan Ackerman. The theif would go to the celebs open houses and pose as a realtor or broker. Those that saw him said he played the part perfectly. During the open houses he was able to find ways into the homes and learn info on when the home owners would be home or out of town. He also was able to check out their valuables. I was skeptical of Dorits story also and she and PK may still be exaggerating the value of what was taken but for the most part she is telling the truth. There are several articles on line detailing the crimes.
Thanks for this! I had no idea. I have to confess, I am surprised there was anything to steal, their house always looked empty and they filmed the whole season on one couch or in front of one pepper shaker. I do get minimalism, but that looked more like squatting to me.
My house was robbed by that guy too! I saw my stuff on the Tee Vee!
See how easy that is?
Once again this site is my go to site when I need to refocus when my heart is heavy and I need to lighten my mood. TT again thank you for providing us with your wisdom and insight.
I LOVE your wit and humour!
Whoa!!!! He used his **REAL NAME*** on the sign-in sheet? Holy moly! “Burglars: sign in here.”
Pretty much everything out of her mouth is a lie, so yeah.
Show us Teddi- I hope you can …..
I LOVE Teddi. She is the perfect counterpart to Kyle and she doesn’t do BS. I am here for her going toe to toe with LVP. Loved Teddi last year, still one of my faves.
I also watched some of the BH episodes this afternoon discussing Yolanda and her Lyme disease. I have to say, back then I thought that Rinna was a little off her rocker. But watching it back she was the truth teller! And it made me really miss Eileen. 🙁
SO AGREE. When i rewatched the reunion with Yolanda, there were nuances, social cues, and expressions i never caught, nor paid attention to. Serious busting of LVP- Andy totally got it, and let it slide. I would like to review stuff with Adrienne Maloof. She knew Lisa was dirty too. And that was early on.
I’m sick of “if Dorit had done the right thing none of this would have happened”!!!!!!! OMG! 🤬 I am NOT a Dorit fan. I think she is fake as hell, BUT why the fuck can’t people see the whole picture here???? If it was not the dog it would have been something/someone else. LVP HAS to be the Queen (in her own mind). She is a shit stirrer and a manipulator. This shit happens every season….same damn tired ass chess game with LVP…every damn season.
That’s so true.
Exactly. It isn’t about the dog. It is about the way LVP manipulates. Throws the rock and hides her hand.
Would there have been a story if Dorit did the right thing?
Probably. Erika did the right thing when she sent LVP a note of condolences and it wasn’t enough.
I am sorry but if my bro died – I would be hurt if some or closest friends just sent note. Cmon.
Erika is all about herself just like the rest of them.
I can’t remember who wrote me notes, who sent flowers or who called when I lost my son. I certainly never thought to criticize anyone I heard from.
Why is Erika suddenly considered a close friend of LVP? She is not close with any of these women. She is supposed to be close with Kyle, at least from the sense of being allies on a reality show and she never fails to try to throw her under the bus. LVP certainly would have found it invasive if any of the cast showed up at her house with a green bean casserole. They are Hollywood friends if they can be classified as friends at all.
Erika did the exactly correct thing. The last think people want when a family member dies is a bunch of acquaintances call her up all day long. THAT IS WHY THE PROPER ETTIQUETTE IS A HAND WRITTEN NOTE. Not a Hallmark card, not a text, but a hand written note.
In addition, The bereaved family is expect to hand write thank you notes to each and every person who sends a card, a flower or a pot roast to the house. Usually that job is given to someone who is not a first degree family member. I’ve written an obscene amount of Thank you notes in my lifetime. Here in the south at least, the funeral home provides those thank you cards as part of the enormous fees they charge to buried the departed. And yes a thank you note for a condolence note sees a bit ridiculous to impose on a bereaved family, but that is the expected practice.
Perhaps in addition to British Humor there is some sort of British Etiquette that involves criticizing the manner in which someone extends their condolences.
Or maybe a cunt is a cunt is a cunt all over the world.
Point well taken .
Oh yea I forgot Erika isn’t close with other humans . Only person she’s interested in is herself . And her glam squads affirmations and cheers every 5 minutes .
Omigawd !!!! Girl – You loook soooooo goooodaaaaaa!
However – I still think she acted like a heartless bitch to someone who just lost their brother .
We all deal with loss in this life and if someone who just lost someone wnats to act a fool , let them . Besides can you really argue with someone’s feelings anyway however petty they may be . It’s THEIR feelings . Anyone who has a loss should be given grace .
Glad I don’t have Hollywood friends . I have actual friends that wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the phone. And honestly I can’t keep up with west coast games and secrets and who is against who . Is it just me ? I feel RHNY , southern charm , RHOA . There’s no fake games . A bitch is gone tell ya like it is 👏🏻Straight to 👏🏻your 👏🏻 Face . Am I alone on this observation?
A cunt is a cunt is a cunt is a cunt. 😂
We know from LVP herself that she rarely spoke to her brother and they did not get along. We also have never seen an actual friend of hers on the show or even mentioned.
All of the other housewives have friends in REAL LIFE we see on their social media and even sometimes on the show.
Why doesn’t LVP have any close ties other than family do you think?
Yep, a hand written note on your monogrammed Crane note cards or stationary is a southern thing.
And the thank you note never, ever has thank you already printed on the front.
You can tell Erika is from Georgia.
JoJoFLL, yup. One of my mama’s pre-wedding must do’s (100 years ago) was to go to a printer and purchase cards on high quality heavy stock paper with my soon-to-be name engraved at the top. The typeset was purchased and kept at the shop for reorders. Every bride I knew did the same.
Exactly TT. Even up here in the Northwest (Seattle area) we were taught a written card from the heart is never inappropriate. We call it a welcome response to whatever bad thing has happened. Just sayin
I’m guessing Erica never received a thank you note from LVP…I couldn’t believe (and am actually embarrassed for) LVP complained about the thoughtful, kind note Erica penned. Erica almost tipped into her evil angry mode, she was just a hair shy but was able to pull herself back, just!
First of all Erika and LVP are not “close friends”. Secondly, my word, I think people need to realize that a heartfelt note (for some people) is a big deal. I would not have been upset at all. Although, I don’t think it was that deep of a note, for Erika it may have been. Just like grief many people handle the comfort of others in different ways.
I find it extraordinary that people forget she was also filming VPR without a hitch. I bet half the people posting here mean more to LVP than Erika does.
Yea, those hugs and kisses that LVP didn’t get as a child are really showing up in her adulthood. It’s time for LVP to put on her big girl knickers and grow up!
The last thing I want to do is speak to someone when I’m upset, a text or note I can read and put down again and reply when I’m ready. I don’t believe for a second that even if Erika had called, LVP likely wouldn’t have answered.
There’s lots of people that would answer a call from friends when they are struggling . Just because that’s your preference doesn’t mean it’s the preference of most or everyone . Pretty sure someone is alllowed to be upset or hurt if they say it upset or hurt them. Whether it’s LVP or not -It’s simple logic. Everyone is entitled to It . Even if it’s dumb .
I said “I”, I was not suggesting that I was speaking for everyone.
Absolutely! I love that Erica is such a quick study, she knew to photograph the note.
Vicki80 – but you implied it – you implied since you wouldn’t want to talk to anyone than neither would LVP. I was simply pointing out that may not be the case .
No I didn’t. I implied that LVP wouldn’t have answered the phone even if Erika had called as they are not friends.
Vicki80-
Ummm isn’t that exactly what I just said in a different way ? Haha- literally the same point . Just because YOU wouldn’t answer the phone doesn’t mean LVP wouldn’t . You’re too fun to make a point with. It’s like arguing with Teresa Giudice .
You need to learn how to read, that wasn’t what I said at all, but it’s okay, stick to your kool aid.
I feel sorry for LVP’s kids. Can you imagine having this snake as your mother?
My answer is way below, my mistake! . I have seen on the show Lisa is amazing to her kids.
EXACTLY. Ugh, you get it.

It’s kind of fun to watch LVP getting caught and batting her lash extensions… Teddi is so open and honest that getting accused and set up would’t Ring true with anyone.
I used to think Teddi was “open and honest” but then I noticed during last season that she was really into outward appearances, gossips and is not above reproach. She can be judgemental too. Look at how quickly she embraced all the heavy makeup and over the top dressing to impress. That’s real? That’s honest? I think Teddy did gossip. Even if LVP set her up, Teddy chose to take the bait. Teddy should know that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. Teddy chose to “drink” with John. That’s on her. If LVP is the puppet master these women choose to be her puppet. Teddy could have easily shut things down w/John the moment she heard something. Miss Accountability Coach chose to engage and that’s on her. It’s not a good look for someone who talks about integrity and accountability all the time. Also, Kyle was the one that raised the dog issue on the terrace by making a joke. Rinna jumped on it so I can’t help but wonder what role production or the ladies played in the whole story. At this point I am not sure anyone’s hands are clean (except Camille, Denise and Erika).
I liked Teddi for most of last season. I thought she was down to earth. Over the course of the season she went from down to earth to false eye lashes, heavy makeup, & always dressed up (unless exercising); she’s very focused on outward appearances all the while screaming about integrity. Denise being there really highlights how far from down to earth Teddy has become. Denise is down to earth and brought normal clothes on vacation–did you see the women looking at her. I’ll hang with Denise please.
“I think Teddy did gossip.”
You need to have a doctor take a look at your thinker.
I am honestly holding my breath for these next episodes! No matter which side you are on this is the most exciting season since season 2 (IMO)
I do believe Teddi has the receipts and I do believe she will flaunt them all over the place when Bravo allows it! She is not an accountability coach for nothing.
But to be honest I do feel sad for LVP bc clearly she is in a really bad place and I cannot judge that. Also this is nothing new, she has repeatedly been low down shady and with all the aquintances she has had when they shared her POV
Cedric
Sheana
Brandi
Yolanda
and so many more…
remembering the passive aggressive cold scenes when LVP and Ken visited Kens son and his wife(LVP’s former bestie) in St Tropez it really makes me sad that she now realizes how much time she has wasted making enemies instead of making nice.
I complete believe you lay in the bed you have made- but at this time I do wish LVP would be in a better place when shit hits the fan.
I was just thinking about LVP’s stepson and his wife – together for years and the chill coming off LVP was still palpable.
She is so jealous of the wife, it is palpable. She has even sniped about her on the HW show. Who does that? Takes a cheap shot at a family member who is not on the show and is not even on the same continent?
Normal clothes? I can guarantee you Denise is not shopping for clothes at Macys.
Omg-I am staying overnight at the hotel (where there’s cable!!) What? It’s convenient, free and we’re dead. So I am really enjoying getting off at 11, riding up the elevator, catching WWHL, love his Karl Lagerfeld story-if I was rich I would pay the fine to smoke inside too!! Just about to get to the good part, I’ll be back!! Thanks TT!!
That same kill shelter took in a dog last week, took away its blanket and it died due to freezing cold weather in outside kennel.
All this means is that Dorit SHOULD have followed through with her contract, and makes it even more weird that LVP claims to be “protecting” Dorit at the beginning. However, LVP once she said she forgave Dorit, she should have fucking dropped it.
This passive aggressive bullshit from LVP is insane. Why she’s blaming Teddi is fucking weird. She is a 3rd party to it.
No, all this means is that Dorit should have adhered to the terms of the contract she signed. That clause is in their to protect the dog. It seems to me that a lot of Dorit and PK’s financial/legal problems arise out of their unwillingness to adhere to legally binding contracts that they have signed. I think everyone should know wat she did, fair warning not to get involved with her ot her husband.
Dogs do not freeze to death in Southern Ca.
The weather was freezing a couple of days last week there. If you are not familiar that city is below a mountain ski resort. It you don’t believe me.. it was on KTTV news .
That ski resort is 2-3 hours away, and at a much higher elevation than Beverly Hills.
It is. But, it was so cold it actually snowed for a bit here in Los Angeles last week. First time I’ve ever seen it snow here in my 20 plus years of living here. Regardless, it’s been cold and a dog did freeze to death in a shelter.
The weather was freezing a couple of days last week there. If you are not familiar that city is below a mountain ski resort. It you don’t believe me.. it was on KTLA news last week
Except one just did. Cheryle is right. This past month has been the coldest February we’ve had in 60 years. The poor dog was separated from the other dog it went in with and then had its blanket taken away for no apparent reason. The shelter is cold with poor heating and plumbing leaks. It was all over my social media. A lot of people are really angry. Adorable dog and really heartbreaking.
Loving Teddi this season! I can’t take twitter anymore. The Vandercult is out in full force tonight! Their god can do no wrong
TT, I wish I could get everyone on twitter to read this post. They so upset with the “gang up” and hating on all of the women, besides the Queen, of course.
Things I noticed: LVP tried getting Kyle involved when LVP decided to humiliate Erika for not sending flowers. She said “Kyle and I were talking …” that was a clear attempt to put a wedge between Kyle and Erika. But, lucky for Kyle, she has learned to correct the record immediately.
The first week we saw LVP try to make Kyle look bad by telling Kyle she wished she could have made it to the TomTom party. Again, Kyle has learned and shut it down immediately by reminding LVP that she wasn’t invited and it wasn’t LVP’s event. Instead of moving on LVP tried another angle by complaining that Kyle hasn’t been to TomTom yet. Again, Kyle has learned and immediately reminded LVP that she has asked to come but LVP told her it wasn’t ready yet.
On tonights episode LVP twice (at least twice) said Teddy should not have gossiped. Teddy didn’t gossip. This is another example of what LVP does … she facilitated for Teddy to find out the dog ended up at the pound so that she would have someone to stir the pot (for her!!) and confront Dorit and then someone to accuse of gossiping. Win/win.
LVP knew that Dorit gave the dog away. She could have stopped it. Instead after it all went down she made sure Teddy and Kyle knew so they could do her dirty work with Dorit and LVP could come out smelling like a rose. She is calculated — you just have to pay attention.
Many on twitter are mad at Rinna. Here is the thing. LVP jabs at Rinna the way she was jabbing at Dorit on tonights episode. LVP consistently says cruel things to Rinna and then calls it British humor. It isn’t humor. It is revenge. LVP has made Rinna jump through hoops season and season so Rinna has earned a little joy at seeing the other HW’s catch on to LVP’s games.
I can’t wait to see Teddy’s text messages. We all know that next week they are going to omit the tweet that proves LVP’s manipulation. LVP’s days of throwing a rock and hiding her hand are over.
I felt bad for Dorit. I don’t think she saw it coming.
Ok, so if all these manipulative things you say about Lisa Vanderpump a true, why are her castmates still upset after she chose not to film or be around them? Lisa Rinna complains that Lisa Vanderpump hasn’t called anyone from the cast, and stated Bravo show favoritism. EVERYONE is using LVP and this dog for a story line.
Maybe they are tired of all the victim stories LVP is putting out there.
They are upset, as I would be, because LVP is probably one of the highest, if not the highest PAID Housewife on this franchise. She is getting paid for doing nothing, while they are having to show up.
Because LVP is a COWARD and when they have been in the hotseat they continued to do their job. And because LVP was probably getting paid for a job she was refusing to do.
EVERY has a bad season from time to time, but LVP turns tail and runs off to play victim any time the heat is on her.
THAT IS WHY.
PREACH!
XOXO, I couldn’t agree more!
Oh another episode of the ladies whinging about how evil LVP is. And we’ve got another 15 episodes of this. The season is dull already.
Hey, TT, I saw your post on Bachelor. This isn’t a spoiler. Do you think what Katie said about Caelynn and Cassie is true? At first I thought it was something they said but as humor (while another girl was on a one on one I could totally see it). But, after Caelynn said she was ready and hoped someone was out there I thought it was a clear setup to be the next bachelorette. Then Cassie said on the last episode that she wasn’t ready. Well, these are both things Katie said they told her. So…. it looks like a duck.
My pick for him was Tayanna or Caelynn and they’re both gone now.
I hope Hannah B is the next bachelorette.
Kyle started all this. First on the balcony when Rinna came over and Kyle made the allergic dog joke. Then with Teddi and Rinna sitting on the floor at breakfast. That’s when Rinna stirred the pot and convinced them LVP was using them even though she didn’t know the full story. Everyone with any sense knows production set up Teddi and Kyle to meet at Vanderpump Dogs and they had talked beforehand. It was proven one of the housewife’s called the tabloids and LVP didn’t. Teddi was too defensive and to willing to believe Rinna. Hmmm… I’m glad the story got out. Dorit and PK are POS. They purposely did the dog dump to cover their embarrassment, create a reflective storyline, or to get back at LVP for last year. Maybe the Todd’s wouldn’t give them a loan? Why as usual this turns into LVP’s fault is astounding when Dorit was the culprit. Read today a little dog was left in a crate outside the same shelter and froze to death, way out in San Bernardino. At least two hours east. Dorit wouldn’t have been charged $5K if she had brought the dog back. What is her real motive besides what I wrote above?
Erika’s note on a half sheet of letterhead was plain tacky. If the South operates this way, it’s considered low class from where I’m originally from. She couldn’t send her minions to buy a fucking card! I see plenty of people here buying sympathy cards at Hallmark. LVP should never mentioned it and should understand by now who she’s dealing with, a cold-hearted bitch. Also, when Pink dog died, Erika did nothing. Only when LVP mentioned she was surprised that she hadn’t heard from Erika, then Erika hugged her and gave her sympathy. Woman has no manners, too self absorbed.
Good friend Kyle, as always. No compassion, just stirring the pot with Rinna like the Munchousen mess. Kyle really badgered LVP if she knew if the kids were sick. LVP finally said no. Erika overhears and runs to Yolanda. Yolanda knew at the end it was Rinna and confronted her about it and has no use for her and this may have affected Rinna’s kids on their modeling careers. Of course both girls are cute but not tall. Fake Kyle blubbering about her third daughter going to college?? and the kid can’t wait to get on her own and away from the cameras and probably from her suffocating neurotic mother who needs a caring storyline. Mo was even impatient with her nonsense. George Washington University is a long way from home.
Bahamas is nice as long as you don’t leave the resort.
Spunky – I agree with all you said ! All of these women have an agenda . And I was shocked at how cold hearted Erika Jane was – and she took a picture of the note ?? Wow she was really more concerned about receipts than the death of a loved one .
It was my understanding that she wanted to have evidence of sending the note card because last season she had texted LVP when Pink Dog died, yet Lisa said to her on camera that she had heard nothing at all from her. So that was just Erika covering her @ss so that Lisa couldn’t manipulate – make that SUCCESSFULLY manipulate – the situation to try and make Erika look bad. Whatever your opinion of Erika, she IS wise. She got fooled once, and wasn’t about to get fooled twice. It’s just like Kyle (finally) and Teddi (you go girl!) interrupting LVP to correct what she’s trying to put out there to make them look bad.
It’s so sad. Why does a woman who has SO much have to try and bring others down to make herself look better, innocent? Her beautiful home, her kids, a husband who seems to adore her, all those sweet animals, plenty of money (I think!), her businesses. How does she even have the time to devise these schemes??? Maybe Lisa “The Spoon” Rinna is right and she’s slipping up, as it’s been way more obvious that she’s not being honest.
And P.S. While I agree that LVP & her crew did not handle the situation correctly, DORIT IS AN ASSHAT who should have known better. While I can understand not reading the adoption paperwork, I would bet good money that she was absolutely VERBALLY told that the dog is to be returned to Pump Dogs if there is ANY issue.
Even more awful! Her first thought was gee, I need evidence of this quickie note instead of concern over death of a loved one .Erika Jane is superficial and cold hearted . And the that plate push . And the glam squad . I can’t .
Love Denise and how down to earth she is . And she’s a real beauty and made her money instead of marrying a 90 year old man .
Erica took a picture because Vanderpump taught her to get evidence and to watch her back.
Where I’m from you would never call someone low class or tacky for sending a hand written note.
👏👏👏
Might be a repost: It isn’t showing under the comments (to me anyway).

I felt bad for Dorit. I don’t think she saw it coming.
I think I love you.
I wonder what the texts Teddi has say because in response to that text someone posted a screen shot of hers to John where Teddi writes “Have the dog there and I will say it looks like Dorit’s”
I wish she would post those texts now so we can see them.
Going to bat for Dorit, who dumped a dog at a kill shelter when she knew the adoption contract says to bring the dog back if adoption doesn’t work out (as is standard in all these rescue contracts) isnt going to go as people hope. Most people love animals and are going to see Dorit is in the wrong.
Plus, I don’t see how having the story coming out helps LVP. Yes, it makes Dorit look bad (because what she did was bad) but it makes VDogs look bad too –this was the 2nd placement with Dorit and it makes VDogs look like they (1) gave a biter to a family with small kids and (2) didn’t properly vet adoption
I guess we will see how it plays out but so far the story is just as boring as pantygate and late to drinks gate. People only “care” to the extent they think it makes LVP look bad OR to extent it makes LVP look like she’s being attacked. That is, it’s only serving as confirmation bias on how people already feel about LVP (hate/love). Otherwise its just another boring storyline that will be stretched out all season, imo.
Just because Dorit was in the wrong in giving the dog away improperly (I do believe she gave it to some woman) doesn’t mean that LVP didn’t try to use this to her own advantage, to manipulate everyone. To BLAME TEDDI is freaking insane.
Sure. But to me if this is the case there are two separate wrongs. One does not cancel the other out.
Dorit was definitely in the wrong and put a dog’s life at risk, when she had the easy option of taking it back to the rescue place.
If Lisa V is now using the incident to stir trouble, that is wrong too, but does not excuse Dorit’s behaviour.
They are both grown ups and should remember that and behave responsibly.
I think that is what I meant… two separate wrongs. Historically, I can’t stand Dorit or PK. I HATE that they are associated with Boy George as I loved Culture Club (I think in my parent’s attic are some of their original records…)
But Lisa’s “punishment” is freaking wrong, wrong, wrong.
Like I said: confirmation bias.
LVP is one of those women who believes in tearing other women down to prove her superiority. It’s why she has no long term women friends.
Dorit tears herself down quite well. If they really wanted to tear her down they could talk about the woman that chased her down poolside. Grifters gonna grift.
Dorit and LVP are both horrible human beings. Agreed.
That’s one thing that honestly, right or wrong on who leaked it, never made sense to me. (This is slightly wrong but unless your elbows deep in dog rescue every weekend doing shelter transports, fostering or volunteering you wouldn’t know) I am heavily involved on a board of directors for a breed specific rescue by me. We put our adopters through the ringers prior to any adoption, including vet and people references, home visits, and follow ups after a dog has been placed to ensure training etc.
Now I understand maybe foregoing those requirements for your friend, that you might know well. However your rescue’s status and placement history is still in the forefront of your mind. We have insurance policies we carry for instances where a foster dog could bite a volunteer, foster, new family member etc. Therefor we behavior test these dogs for weeks if not longer prior to placement in certified foster homes. I have joked with potential adopters that if this dog bites kids then I make sure my kids are placed in harmsway first. There is a level of liability to owning a rescue, even one that’s considered a non profit.
LVP has millions more then any of us have to lose so I would bet all that money that her insurance policies are even better. So why let it get out that she placed a dog that bit children and an adult? That compromises her rescue in more ways then one! It makes future adopter leery that they do not do a good enough job screening their dogs (I mean if she adopts out a biting dog to tiny kids??? What about my kids and this dog?), it also compromises adoption in general which she is a huge advocate for. Hate her or love her but she has been a huge advocate for animals for a long time…
Something just doesn’t add up here
We don’t have to imagine. It is really clear on the show she is very good to her kids.
Vanderpump dogs was remiss in letting that dog go to Dorit’s family. MOST responsible dog rescue places evaluate the dogs and know that certain ones should not go to a house with young children. Or unresponsive grifters.
Dorit was wrong to not bring the dog back. If she called to clear giving it away to get clearance from LVP, which I doubt, the VP Dogs should have told her they need to meet the woman.
I adore Denise. She is as befuddled by the pettiness as most of us are.
I am SICK TO DEATH of these glam squads and these women not being able to fix themselves up to look good enough while on vacation. Like Denise does. Not that Denise requires much fixing up. She seems like a Moisturizer, lip gloss and GO kind of girl.
We don’t watch this show to see everyday women who can do their own makeup. It’s Beverly Hills for god sakes. I don’t watch for relatability I watch for escapism.
All I came away from this episode with is how much I dislike the ever smarmy Lisa Rinna. That self satisfied look on her face when the women started giving LVP shit…I want to rub her face in shit. I want to see Rinna go down hard.
Rinna is running this season. Sorry about your luck.
Spunky and LA I couldn’t agree more! LA is all Kill Shelters and I really don’t know the real LVP but it’s irrelevant. I have to admit, after tuning out of BH for like 5 seasons, I am intrigued. I like Denise. I like LVP. I don’t know the inside scoop TT does to hate her but it doesn’t matter — everyone knows about the kill shelters in LA.
Dorit is an evil human.
Omg! I just saw how the boy LVP “employee” handed Dorit her ass and Rinna too. Gets juicier juicier.
OMg haha TT I agree about Rinna! Although Deb that was quite crass I hate to admit it, I can’t stand her this season either!!!
Did Rinna’s self satisfied look on her face remind you of the LVP smirk we so often see?
Cannot stand Lisa R. I see through her BS. She tried to play nice nice last year and this season she came out with her CLAWS.
Last night I actually felt sorry for Lisa V. It seemed they all ganged up on her with Kyle starting the mess. Have they all forgotten what a fake nut Dorit is? Can’t these women go off together and have a good time w/o all the screaming drama?
Love Denise being on the show. She and Teddi are two that people can bond with. They are Housewives in a true sense.
As for Erica Jane she is just a wannabe so I ignore her shenanigans. You can’t take the hood out of her.
DAMN! You got me there. I like Rinna but was annoyed by her smugness. You make an EXCELLENT point about LVP doing the same, yet it had never bothered me as much. Maybe she was more subtle than Lisa “The Spoon” Rinna …
If you really watch and listen to LVP she actually does the things she accuses others of. She isn’t self aware.
I smirked and understand why Rinna smirked. 🙂
If there was a video of me while I watched LVP’s manipulation exposed to stir the pot between Kyle and Teddi vs Dorit you would see the same exact smirk on my face as Rinna.
Me too!:)
I would have agreed with you a few years ago about Rinna (Munchausen, Kim is near death stuff….), but now I think she is pretty freakin awesome. Amazing how opinions can change. I remember being a LVP loyalist the first two seasons, but I do have a brain. She’s slimy and underhanded. Glad LVP’s ship is sinking fast. She’s about to ruin Vanderpump rules as well with her expanded presence on that show. And her nasty husband can’t get away with his treatment of women for much longer.
The only strange thing is that the dog issue is so benign compared to what she has done in the past. LVP met her match in Teddi.
I agree!!
The thing that annoys me the most about LVP is her victim shtick. She’s a witty old bitch with a biting tongue, and if she would just own it (as Lisa Rinna always says) and throw in some class, humor, sparkles, and cheekiness, she would still be a fan favorite. Her issue is she dishes it but can’t take it and doesn’t know how to apologize to people when her jabs go too far.
Rinna’s face when she realized everyone had caught on to LVP’s shady ways was priceless. Also, everyone’s reaction to Dorit crying shows just how over LVP the rest of the ladies are. They were all comforting Dorit because she was the lesser of two evils, and when you’re less liked than a Dorit, you’ve got a serious problem.
Speaking of the history of the RHOBH, I’m also watching from the beginning. In Season 2, Pandora’s Bachelorette at Planet Hollywood (as opposed to the Maloof owned Palms) there is a girl in Pandora’s entourage that either has to be or is a doppelganger for Kristen Doute. She is actually sitting beside LVP and Taylor Armstrong at the Chippendales performance. Anyone know? I’ve only watched the last 3 seasons of Pump Rules, i know LVP hates Kristen now, but back then?
I was amazed that the LVP demise kicked in so early in the season too. Lisa Rinna took it straight to her. I don’t, however, feel any sympathy for Dorit.
Pandora has also appeared on Vanderpump Rules as being friends with them, I guess she knows the cast since they work for her mother, but it always looked like she had little in common with the Sur staffers (other than Bravo). I believe she threw a bridal shower for Scheana or something in one episode. Since she married she hasn’t appeared as much inn VdP Rules as a friend but more as a business person promoting Lisa’s wine.
i honestly think almost all the RHW shows have about run their course. Dorit should have stuck to the contract and taken the dog back to LVP’s place. In the first place, her children were far too young for such a little, hyper, yappy dog and my guess is that as spoiled as Jagger acts, he was far too rough with the dog and that is why the dog bit him. I don’t believe in letting children get pets until they are around 5 when you can train both child and parent the proper way to play and how to be gentle. LVP just reminds me more and more of a mob boss, who has her henchmen do her dirty work for her. She had no reason to blame Teddi for “gossiping”, when the only person Teddi had talked to about it was Kyle, who was also there then too and so the returned dog. LVP is a snake in the grass. I liked how Erika handled LVP, but I still don’t really care for her either – she’s very passive-aggressive and “I’m better than you” and I don’t like people like that. Dorit and her slimeball husband were the two worst additions to RHBH ever and they needed to leave last year. I hope Denise gets more relaxed in the pit of snakes – she seems genuinely like a nice gal. I used to watch her show at her house with all the animals and when her Dad lived with her – she was lovely.
Love everything you wrote. Love Denise too. I felt bad that everyone looked at Denise like she appeared naked when she met for drinks on the balcony. They’re at a beach in a casual setting and not going anywhere. Why would anyone dress up for that?
Both Dorit and LVP are full of shit. However, seeing all these crazy LVP fans going apeshit on Twitter is hilarious. I’m sick of the victim shtick LVP plays and glad Rinna called her out on it tonight. The “jabs” that are meant to be jokes are stale, and I think the other housewives are sick of the groveling. I think LVP needs to stay on Vanderpump Rules permanently, she’s ran her course on housewives.
Rinna stated on the JMS that once LVP is gone, the show is just as good without her and the drama does NOT involve her…. I’m looking forward to the second half of the season.
Hey Ken and Lisa,
Lucy wasn’t put to sleep at the animal shelter so why all the fuss? You act like the animal was killed which isn’t the case. Stop acting like it is an unforgivable transgression for two parents to get rid of a biting dog. We are glad that you love animals but give it a rest. It isn’t like they gave it to a neighbor who barbecued it for dinner.
Exactly.
I love this comment.
For the record, I would ditch a dog that bit my kids, too. I sure as hell wouldn’t let it go to another home with kids.
But the issue there is, when you sign a contract to adopt a dog, most and I believe Lisa said hers did also, you bring it back to the place you adopted from, NOT give to another person.
There is some fee in there that the Dorit’s didn’t pay, which I think is 5, 000 if you give the dog away. I still don’t think they paid that.
I know someone yelled above about no one ever reading contracts, but hey, again that is your fault if you don’t and then you break the contract.
It was a puppy, and puppies need to be trained proper behavior, especially if tiny children with no idea how to behave with an animal are going to be living with it. Some people shouldn’t have pets, and Dorit is one of them.
When you say ditch I hope you mean you’d take it to a shelter or back to the place you got it.
I wouldn’t dump it in a ditch, but I also wouldn’t feel at all bad about bringing it back or even sending it to a shelter. An animal that bites a person in the face isn’t going to be a good pet.
I was bit on the face by a dog when I was about 2 years old. My mom brought me to a friend’s house, and I was on the floor and not bothering the animal. Mom saw the dog walk right up to me and bite me in the face, unprovoked. (It happens, people! The human isn’t always the asshole.) That scar on my face didn’t fade away until my early 30s. The truth – it makes people uncomfortable.
If you are a dog owner I bet you fall into the category of owner whose dog is an accessory, rather than a true member of the family. Dogs respond well to kindness, and being treated with love. And a nip from a small dog, if being teased, is totally understandable.
Likewise, I am sure Dorit would have got the dog as a mere toy for her kids and put no time into showing them how to interact kindly with the dog. If there had been a real bite, where was the photo or doctor’s receipt? You bet we would have seen it if it existed.
You must know that taking a dog to a shelter as a discard is basically a death sentence. Luck was on that dog’s side. Dorit did not care that dog would probably not be ok. She was asked to return the dog to the rescue if things did not work out at her home, but she did not do that. She just passed it on like a worn out toy.
From what I could see of the interaction between the women, regardless of how it started, there was a major gang-up that most of them came out of looking their most bitchy selves. Rinna is going for broke as a bitch and is not someone I would waste 5 minutes with. I see nothing attractive about her or her ordinary family and she has the glint of greed in her eyes.
At least LVP has a lovely home, her businesses and her dogs for viewer interest. Certainly, if I were her I would walk away from this grade school playground rubbish behaviour by dolled up, aging teenagers.
The dog literally growled in the first episode. It wasn’t appropriate for their home and Vanderpump dogs did not do their due diligence to make sure that it did not go to a home with small children.
Yup, definitely agree with this. A real rescue does their due diligence by observing the animal in different situations and with other animals, and does a home check to boot. The best rescue I ever volunteered for, SFSPCA, observes and trains their dogs, and makes sure each dog is a fit for the family it is going to by having multiple visits between adopter and pet. This is why it’s rare if someone brings a dog back. If LVP really did plan all this out, then she’s a dumbass because not only did she make Dorit look bad, she made her rescue look bad too.
Why are you taking me to task because Lucy was discovered in a kill shelter? Then accusing me of using a dog as an accessory? You are a dumb ass who missed the point. The dog found its way back to Vanderpump Dogs. That is the upside. My point is that it was not killed. I like Lisa, by the way, but the way she was holding a grudge is as if the dog died, which it did not.
Give me a break from your lectures and accusations of being insensitive to the plight of animals. My pet is cherished & well cared for to the point that I don’t wish to go on vacation and leave her in someone else’s care. Does that sound like someone who would treat a pet as an accessory?
To you I say “bite me”.
This person must be one of those obsessed LVP fans that TT was telling us about who goes bonkers to defend Lisa even when she isn’t being attacked. 🤡🤡🤡 The dog was not killed at the shelter! Get a life! Stop being Lisa’s attack dog!
Not a LVP fan especially. Definitely a dog fan!!
This is despite my daughter being badly bitten from behind by a stranger’s large dog when she was one year old, sitting quietly with me in public place. . Whole head in its mouth as she was holding food it had seen and ran over to snatch. Needed immediate operation in theatre and plastic surgery.
But all dogs are individuals and Dorit had custody of a puppy which would not have meant to hurt anyone.
She had no way of knowing the puppy would not be put down. She did not care. That is very clear and unforgivable by me.
The women yapping to LVP does not change my mind about that.
Did you get a new email? All your comments are coming through moderation as a brand new poster.
No. I have not changed anything I am aware of. How very odd! 😳
Yes it is! Here you have your regular comment count and the last two it said you had 0 formerly approved comments. Don’t let WordPress steal your street cred here at TT lol.
LOL is right. I am not even using a new device. Need one though. 😊
Again, bite me. I would not treat a pet as an accessory as you accused me of based on my comment that LVP is taking her drudge too far. You might be nice to animals but you are rude and hateful to humans for no reason. I can only imagine what your unfortunate coworkers and neighbors say about you for being so disagreeable and vile.
You are a joke. But I guess you can’t see that either. Take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. Over and out. 🐶🐾
Because the two parents and two children are brats who should never own a living thing. They’re not dog people.
I am not pro-pump, but I do kind of see that Kyle was also stirring the pot in that conversation with Lisa and made it a conversation in the group.
Perhaps because she also knew the fakery of the Vanderpump dogs showing and wanted it out in the open to ignite the fires.
From there it did seem like a gang up on Lisa V from Kyle Teddi and Rinna.
No sympathy for Princess Pump though, she totally was playing the game and knows it. Kudos for Erika for being so calm, I wouldn’t call an acquaintance either when someone dies because we just are not in that place. A note is fine.
Lols at Denise I love her laid back vibe and casual wear seems so normal. Reenacting a scene from bond that she did not even do in the movie ha!
Also, Camille bang on, what are they talking about, ugh something about a dog. Blank expressions.
Looking forward to the ladies bringing their receipts. Love a good twisted text battle that we probably won’t get the real receipts for until the reunion. Doubt pump will show her face.
Dorit is awful. On the first episode, when she was talking to Erika, she said something like she gave the dog to “a woman who came to my house.” It was totally clear she had not vetted this person–she just gave the dog away at the first opportunity. Tonight, Erika made it sound even better than Dorit had said it, as if she had carefully picked the new home. No. And when Dorit was “crying” near the end of the dinner, there were no tears–it was all just Dorit wanting sympathy.
Rinna accuses LVP of being the manipulator–but Rinna was the manipulator tonight, stirring up the convo with LVP and Kyle on the balcony, then prompting the Airing of Grievances at lunch, then stirring up Kyle and Teddi when they were sitting on the floor. Rinna is the one making all this a big deal. She is an evil schemer. Dorit and Rinna are the two I am most disgusted with.
At the Airing of Grievances lunch, LVP likely felt she had to say something, and she didn’t want to bring up the dog thing again, so she mentions a small thing with Erika–i.e., the note Erika had sent. To me, the note was very formal and rote sounding, like something you would send a colleague you don’t know well, rather than a note you would send a friend. But I agree it was odd to criticize someone’s sympathy note, BUT this was the second time (at least) Erika had been distant to Lisa about a loss (Pink Dog being the other).
I’m not a total LVP fan–her digs at Dorit about snoring and gas were totally out of line, and I don’t think she should be accusing Teddi of anything. But I was expecting to see her scheming tonight, but instead I saw Rinna’s scheming and manipulating. The obvious glee on Rinna’s face when everything was blowing up was disgusting. I used to like Rinna OK, but no more. And after the dinner tonight, it is totally obvious why LVP didn’t call them to say she didn’t want to film with them anymore.
I totally agree. Rinna’s actions always gets a pass. LVP has every right to be angry. Not only about the dog but hurts the reputation of her business. These other women have nothing going business-wise.
I’d agree with you if LVP didn’t have a history of being a shady mofo. Her issues with Cedric and Brandi, losing court cases for being a shit employer, and her comments to Kyle and Teddi so far in just three episodes. She rewrites history in her head and tries to accuse people of things, except she’s doing it on purpose not because she has a bad memory. The comments she made to Kyle about missing the Tomtom event proved what a scoundrel she is – trying to make Kyle look bad for no reason. Thank goodness Kyle finally grew a backbone and stood up to her for once with facts instead of “Lisa, be my friend” bs. Then her issue with Erika’s card – Rinna is right, she is slipping. Who the hell calls someone out for how they send condolences? Erika and LVP have never been close, and I think Erika thought she was being thoughtful by mailing a hand written card. I thought it was messed up and petty that LVP was calling her out on it. The fact that Erika had to take a picture of the card as proof is further evidence of what a shit friend LVP is – you have to constantly watch your bac with her and save receipts. Who needs a friend like that?
“Dorit is awful.”
Awful is a kind term to describe Dorit. She’s a liar and a con artist and a fraud. But you can use the character of Dorit to absolve LVP. She is also a liar and a con artist and a fraud.
” Rinna was the manipulator tonight, stirring up the convo with LVP and Kyle on the balcony,”
Oh the balcony, Rinna just wanted to know what the drama of the day was. She didn’t find out about it until she went to the room with Kyle and Teddi. She then stated the VERY obvious that LVP was using Kyle and Teddi to take out Dorit. Why? Because that is her MO and because she is tied to Dorit, the other liar and con artist through her past nefarious relationship with Paul Kemsley who is a liar a con artist and a fraud. She needs to distance herself from him because he is GOING DOWN in real time for many of his financial wrongdoings.
“LVP likely felt she had to say something, and she didn’t want to bring up the dog thing again, so she mentions a small thing with Erika” The vast majority of the group didn’t bring up any issues with anyone. LVP certainly didn’t “have to” say anything let alone once again try to attach Kyle to some bizarre grievance over a hand written note of condolence. The death of her brother is another thing LVP “doesn’t want to talk about” but continues to bring up as a weapon.
“The obvious glee on Rinna’s face when everything was blowing up was disgusting. ”
The obvious glee on Rinna’s face was fantastic. It’s quite rare that LVP’s manipulations and deliberate use of her “friends” as unwitting weapons in her missions to harm another cast member are so transparent and clear to everyone even her usual supporters.
The glee on Rinna’s face was also very warranted. LVP has been an asshole to her for so many seasons now, treating her like she’s her own personal whipping boy, so I’m glad she felt a little vindicated.
I am not pro-pump, but I do kind of see that Kyle was also stirring the pot in that conversation with Lisa and made it a conversation in the group.
Perhaps because she also knew the fakery of the Vanderpump dogs showing and wanted it out in the open to ignite the fires.
From there it did seem like a gang up on Lisa V from Kyle Teddi and Rinna.

Lols at Denise I love her laid back vibe and casual wear seems so normal. Reenacting a scene from bond that she did not even do in the movie ha!

Looking forward to the ladies bringing their receipts. Love a good twisted text battle that we probably won’t get the real receipts for until the reunion. Doubt pump will show her face.
Kyle did stir the pot, I agree. And LVP seemed truly caught off guard. Kyle did it again at the dinner table when Dorit, Rinna and I forget who left the table and Kyle leans in and says she’s not comfortable talking about Dorit behind back. As she talks behind her back to clue in Erika. For all the hand waving Kyle does about love family friends empty nest — she’s quite artful at playing the RHOBH game with minimal damage to herself, and getting Rinna to take the lead instead.
Yep . I am with you. What Kyle always accuses LVP of – she does the exact same thing . And she makes sure she’s never in the hot seat either . But she will definitely partake in gossiping and scheming .
Off topic here- but is the “reader view” gone forever? I hope not cuz I gots them ole eyes.
Question that’s Off topic here- but is the “reader view” gone forever? I hope not cuz I gots them ole eyes.
Sorry about the double post. I couldn’t see the initial one 👀
I just want Teddi to leave. Her arrogance built from putting herself in the position of a martyr and helping people “be accountable” is ridiculous. You also have to be accountable to your heart and she is not.
Great point! She quickly became annoying.
One big difference between my beloved LisaV and I other than the millions of dollars is that my conversation with Dorit would had been…Dorit I just found out that one of my dogs ended in a killer shelter!!! Dorit you are death to me. The end:/ Pretending that teddy was wrong for talking about it is too fake for me.
Do I still love LVP ? HO HELL YEAH! ha! ha! ha!
Is Dorit a victim? OH HELL NAH!
It was a gorgeous episode! Delightful escapism and I actually felt a little annoyed when they started getting into their dumb fights. Lisa criticizing the note of condolence was so trashy. In real life sometimes all you get is a text message from many people, or nothing at all. You can’t be both needy and and a criticizing aloof bitch sorry it doesn’t really work for people. And dear god in the midst of all this heavy grief LVP still found space in her brain to remember with clinical precision who sent what? I can barely remember what I had for lunch. That’s its own kind of neurotic. I wan Denise Richards to get glam too. I kind of felt embarrassed for her; no offense she seems lovely but often looks cheap and tacky. Erika continues to look ridiculous and the waste of her lavish spending just kind of stresses me out. I mean if she wore three pieces of jewelry every day she still couldn’t get through them all.
Just because you can afford something doesn’t mean it’s an ethical way to spend money.
Per Teddi’s twitter post, she’s implicating herself with the dog situation. Then why is she solely blaming LVP in setting Dorit up, when she was a willing participant?
Every rescue that I have gotten dogs from including the Golden Retriever Association of LA came clear out to my home 60 miles away here to Dana Point and interviewed me, looked at my house and yard. The rescues here want to come over and interview any prospective new owners and will pick the most suited. The shelter here picks the best suited applicants and they choose who can get the dog..
Same here. My dogs are beagle rescues. We had two in house visits. They helped find the right dog for our home. I’m actually still in touch with one of the foster mothers.
Me, too. Get our first foster this week. Had an interview and home visit, plus application process.
Yes, us too, we also had a rescue who is much loved and missed!.What Dorit did is beyond irresponsible, it’s despicable. She thinks viewers are so dumb she can just BS viewers. She can’t bullshit her way out of this. The ENTIRE POINT of rescue is to keep the beloved dogs OUT of the kill shelters. None of her excuses matter. WTF. She’s a horrible liar and a worse person.
The fact that the rest of the cast chose the wrong side and thought they could align on this to bring LVP down, especially with her grief situation, was a colossal mistake, a strategic mistake.
People are not going to let the dog thing go with Dorit.
As far as I’m concerned you can keep LVP, Denise, and maybe Camille and get rid of the rest of them and start over. Especially Erica. She’s ridiculous. They for sure need to fire Dorit. She’s a con artist if you look at all the news coming out about them.
I don’t buy Dorit’s story either… She claims the dog was given to a good woman with the good home, ( (that she did not know btw ) who came to her house and took the dog. I could see PK bringing this woman who was suppose to be a worker he knew and him telling her to get rid of it. There is a no good woman who would drive this dog almost two hours away and dump it in a gang area shelter. , Where are the good homes in a city voted most dangerous city???
Why am I so bored watching this? The entire cast, with the exception of Denise, is so impressed with themselves it’s sickening. Glam squads? Please. You’re adults. Pick out your outfit and then! HARK! Put it on yourself! Oh, the horrors! Do your hair and makeup, use deodorant and go do your thing. Erika has become a caricature of herself and Dorito is a clingy, desperate, wanna-be.
I’m not sure I’m gonna be actually watching anymore. I’ll just read these recaps (and thank you TT for the detailed recaps you write) I might have it on in the background while I’m cleaning out the cats boxes, but other than that, is the entire season going to be about a dog?
Yes, we all know Dorit did the wrong thing. Did anyone expect either of those two to actually do something above board? But this entire season has to have more going on than discussing a dog.
Rhinna royally exposed Lisa VP earlier. The LVP Twitter Cult might as well come to grips with the fact Lisa witchery has played out. It is only going to get worse for the Queen of ill timing British Humor (her go to excuse). If I could add just one housewife from another franchise to RHOBH it would be LeeAnne Locken. We thought Ericka shut her down. LeeAnne would have verbally cut Lisa down to the white meat, before she put a period on her sentence. Straight out the gate stop the BS Lisa. She is just too damn old to digress back to high school messiness. I am looking forward to this season.
If a supposed friend sent me the note Erika did after a family member had died I’d think it was bullshit, it was formal the kind of generic thing sent by a company hr department to an employee, if it had been worded in a warmer friendlier way it would’ve been ok but it was cold, and why take a photo? Because you deliberately sent something you know might upset someone who had just lost a brother and might call you on it later, yuck. I used to like Erika but since last season I’ve seen the bitter insecure person she really is.
As for lvp of cost she’s doing and manipulated things in the past, but I think rinna is taking it a step too far this time, no manipulation needed, John was clearly livid and of course wanted to make it known to the HWs and on camera, that Doritos a scumbag and I don’t blame him. I think it’s time for lvp to move on but mainly because I’m bored of the mean girl gang ups.
I think the operative words are, “supposed friend”. Erica and LVP are not friends. I think it’s pretty clear. It’s very acceptable for people to send condolence notes written on personal stationary. I personally think it’s a lot nicer than one of those horrible Hallmark cards. I suppose the note could have been a bit warmer but again they’re co-workers and Erika isn’t a warm cuddly person.
I have been a long-time reader and am only “commenting” now to ask this: Tamara, what precipitated your present dislike of LVP?
If you have been around for a long time, you might remember I liked her in the beginning too. I was never more angry about a reality show than I was on one of the early reunions when everyone ganged up on poor, dear, LVP. My blood pressure was up. I was genuinely upset over a reality show.
Not too long after that I began to see things that seemed highly manipulative. Eventually, I did a deep dive and read every single housewife blog for the first six? five? seasons. (I had a lot of time on my hands,lol) and the pattern became very clear,
https://tamaratattles.com/2016/04/15/here-is-how-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-works-an-abridged-history/
Then I had a very good source in the courtroom every day for the Bustilos trial. This was I believe the THIRD sexual harrassment /hostile work case against the manager of Villa Blanca and Ken Todd.
https://tamaratattles.com/?s=Bustillos
Then LVP made false statements to TMZ claiming they won the case and the victim lost. It was a bald faced lie,
Then there were an awful lot of fires at LVP establishments. Like at least half a dozen in a year or so.
Once you take off your pink colored glasses you pay attention to all the lawsuits surrounding them. Some are related to Vanderpump Dogs and their dog clothing they sell there. Vanderpump Dogs is not just a non-profit, A for profit shop is held in the same building. That is a questionable circumstance.
Then Paul Kemsley arrives and LVP dances around Dorit putting up with all sorts of strange behavior because of her relationship with Paul Kemsley. Paul Kemsley is a bad guy. You can google him. There is a reason he came on the show as PK a name no one calls him.
That’s just some of the reasons.
Muchlike today’s House committee hearings though, some people don’t want to consider facts that don’t mesh with their narrative..
Hope that answers your question.
my daughter watched the entire thing with Dorit and the dog unfold, and she said immediately, Dorit you made an error, it is your duty to return this dog to LVP shelter, she is 10..that is a child, and Dorit goes and gives it away, or whatever she did, and then this entire situation gets LVP upset, and a contract is breached, is literally what happened, if Peekay and Dorit brought the dog back immediatly there would not have been an issue, but instead, she gave to a friend who dropped it off at a kill shelter if that is even what happened. And because LVP is a Queen of payback, she did get it on the show, and of course she had it play out at her place of business, and it makes Dorit look horrible , first the $5K clause that it looks like Dorit cannot afford and was avoiding, or worse, she really looks like a person that is not an caretaker of animals in a kind good way. That is my problem with the entire thing, Dorit and PKay don’t seem to be fit to have pets. That is a problem, and LVP should never let them adopt again. Period end of story. Whatever else we learn, let this be the moral of the story.
Except that was the second dog they adopted from LVP….
You let a ten-year-old watch this rubbish?
I posted a response to several of you that doubt Dorits story of being robbed. My response shows up out of order. It’s after another post dated February 26 at about 3:00am. I also doubted her story but from reports I’ve read on line it appears she is telling the truth. As far as the rest of the stuff that comes out of her and PK’s mouth I dont believe for a second.
First, I’m am not an LVP fan. I believe she is vapid, privileged and at times ridiculous. But grief fucks with people. I lost my husband of 24 years last year, we starting dating when I was 18 married at 20. I’m a pretty even keel person, but grief screws with you. At one point I thought I was going to lose my mind. By the grace of whomever you believe in or the universe itself there is no handbook for grief. LVP has always come across as an asshole, but an asshole and an asshole that is grieving is two different things. Lisa R found her moment to strike and she did. Honestly I think that makes her the biggest asshole. I have a friend who’s son is friends with LVPs son. She even said she can be a flat out bitch 99% of the time. She also said when you are struggling, down or need an ear she is the first on your side. I believe her because she really doesn’t like her that much, but loss is loss. Everyone has felt grief at some point. Everything is magnified. I have found myself behaving in ways I never thought possible. But I know where it’s coming from. LVP may be a straight up see you next Tuesday, but damn, this women is hurting. You can see it in her normally soulless eyes. Bitches need to back off.
This ^^^ yes ! 🙌🏻💯
Truthfully I think Lisa R is reveling in this and it’s disgusting. Kyle is a pussy, Teddi is Kyles bitch, Erika did right by sending a card but by backing up this BS and by acting so offended is BS too. Damn, throw a person that doesn’t “do emotion “ into a situation like this is a recipe for disaster.
And come on, Dorit acting like she did nothing wrong. Talk about a see you next Tuesday.
Lisa Rinna is nasty. Kyle Richards is nasty. Lisa Vanderpump is the greatest.. This is the best idea. Get Teddy and Kyle to do the dirty work. But wait – What about those Teddy texts? Something is rotten. Dorit is rotten. Erica is old. As in had enough. Hate her outfits, her pajamas and her fake hair. All Hail LVP
lvp is soo transparent!!!!! said she doesn’t want it talked about (the dog situation) but clearly she did. said she is all fine wldorit and pk but continues to passive aggresively talk about it every chance she gets. then accuses teddi of gossiping which she didn’t!!! clearly lvp was setting teddi and kyle up. if she was ok w/dorit, don’t keep bringing it up on camera and all the jabs. dorit and pk totally gross, fake, grifters and wrong re the dog!!!! wish she’d disappear. seems there’s more that meets the eye between lvp and pk??? erica, rinna really nasty. again wrong of lvp to criticize erica on her form of sympathy expression — she sent a note scribbled on letterhead. yes, probably should have at least been a nice notecard!!!! but erica is just into erica and loves to play victim as well. lvp doing what she has done for every season but here she was more transparent – remember her saying in front of kyles young daughter oh this is the other woman!!! remember her barbs to adrienne maaloof – planitng stories – what she did to eileen davidson?? lvp really doesn’t have women friends and i can see why. do love the work she does for dogs and other charities!!!!!
Anyone else feel LVP is somewhat medicated? Doesn’t seem if she knows which way is up and you know Rinna’s been stalking in the background for this chance since the whole Yolanda incident… of which Kyle was a part.
This is Rinna’s revenge, plain and simple… but what about Kyle? How does she keep her hands so clean? That’s why I don’t like her, she’s like teflon. She has all these jabs to the side ie is she allergic to dogs? and yet we only talk about LVP’s jabs. Erika’s jabs? Her talking heads are so shady. Rinna is the absolutely worst!
What about Rinna’s support of PETA back in the day? A “Hollywood” animal champion?
I want to know what happened in the off season for everyone to be rallying around faux crying Dorit.
I’m with LVP one this… why is Dorit crying? This revelation is hardly a fall from grace… she’s about a centimetre from the gutter.
The entire cast is ready to get LVP and meanwhile it appears she is medicated.
Was the dog story planned? Sure, looks like it but don’t they all sit down before with producers and discuss what’s been going on for them? Don’t producers contribute to the script? And the dog thing was the juiciest???? Surely others are seeing this as great place to hide.
I’m actually beginning to feel the worst for Kim – yeah, a long way round but… whilst we’re over here talking about LVP and her manipulations how the hell is Kyle friends with someone like Rinna who attacked her sister like that, like literally broke a glass and threatened her with it…. and we’re up in arms about a dog?????
They are all as bad as each other! They’re prey on the weakest and now that’s LVP.
Dorit should be exposed for who she is. All that has been said is she gave the dog away, not that she kicked it and half starved it. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Dorit, a pure hearted, innocent lady? My arse.
These shows use to be about looking at how the other half lives, then for me at least – there were elements of their lives that I was envious of, now they’re all caricatures. It’s just like WWF or Survivor, Lip sync for your life. I just don’t like a gang up and this is what it is. Cloak and dagger bullshit.
Has it already been brought up that Dorit was asked on WWHL if she paid the $5,000. Dorit said she never read the contract-she didn’t know and LVP never asked her for the money. Somewhere in there lies the truth….
Agreed. My favorite part of the whole night was Rinna’s impersonation of LVP in her talking head. She was spot on! That cracked me up.
It was perfect!
That was comedy gold!
TT. You were right on the money about Erika’s condolence note. It shows how much people have forgotten etiquette. I would have expected a Brit to appreciate a handwritten note on personalized stationery during a time of personal loss—so much more meaningful than a text or email. It shows that LVP was looking for storyline/diversion/whatever.
Given, Erika is not one I would expect to ever exemplify style and grace, but the people who said she should have at least gotten a Hallmark card completely missed the point. For once she went old school. I almost wonder if the notecard (pic makes it seem a notecard which is very traditional) was engraved. It most definitely was NOT letterhead!
You’re right. It’s considered tacky to buy a card that “says” what you want to say. Miss Manners books always advised using your own stationary and WRITING what one wants to say. Why look for pre-printed cards for a variety of scenarios?
With your own high-quality stationary and note cards you are prepared to congratulate people on their promotions, wish them better health, thank them for a kindness, offer condolences, etc.
(On another note, it’s also considered tacky to start a thank you note with “thank you” and then end it with “thanks again”. That’s obviously a way to fill up the space when you should instead use a bit of effort to find something else nice to say.)
Lisa Rinna is truly magnificent! I’ve always liked her but now I LOVE her! Weeeee!
Dorit is a POS and her house of cards will be collapsing ASAP. I have a problem with anyone who treats an animal like an accessory. She should have returned the dog to LVP instead of just handing the dog off to someone she did not know.
Denise Richards cracks me up. I fully expect by next season to see her in full blowouts with a glam squad. She is great reality TV when she lets her guard down. I loved her show with her dad when her kids were young. It’s just a matter of time. Did anyone else see her tell the People Magazine writer to fuck off after they blew her cover for calling the paps to follow her and Richie Sambora? Hahaha! Classic!
No idea where this is going to take LVP but it isn’t looking good for her.
I’ve walked eleven bilionty miles at Disney the past three days and am punchy.
The gals are in good shape this season, they’re not taking any bullshit. LVP totally manipulated to get the dog story out — not only because of the dog’s welfare, but mainly to make it clear that Dorit was at fault and not Vanderpump Dogs. Maybe if Dorit had paid the fine LVP would have been mollified; as it was the Kemsleys extracted a favor from LVP on top of violating the adoption agreement, namely that she would let them slide. That left LVP with a p.r. problem though, I think that’s how she might view it. Anyway, so yeah, LVP, master manipulator.
Howevah. Kyle came loaded for bear this season. When she and LVP were outside talking and Rinna joined them, it was Kyle who made a joking reference, and LVP clammed up. Smooth move Kyle, she knew Rinna would pick up the lead and it was Kyle who told her about Dorit. And then next morning told Teddi about it, but said the Dorit topic just came up. No, Kyle, you brought it up, you sly thing.
LVP and Kyle have different motives, but they are both quite good at manipulating., seems to me.
Love Denise so far. So that’s 2 Bond girl connections on the show that I know of, Denise and Ursula Andress.
P.S. I was brought up that writing a personal note is correct in these situations, although Erica’s was a bit impersonal. But reflective of their actual relationship.
Kyle definitely brought it up, but LVP was the one who made all sorts of faces that would have made anyone question what was going on. She could have just laughed it off and pretended like it was just a joke to be taken exactly how Kyle said it, but she made it obvious with her huffing and puffing that there was a story behind what Kyle said.
Kyle’s a smart gal, and I sometimes think she pulls LVP’s strings just as much as LVP pulls hers.
I don’t think it’s just the dog situation that ticked LVP off. There’s a wealth of history of Dorit being a lying self aggrandizing, POS. LVP was stuck with her for PK’s sake (for some reason) and I’m sure she’s been embarrassed for the entire time that she brought that woman on. I, for one, think nobody is worse than Dorit, and I have no idea what kind of sorcery could make me ever shed a tear for her.
Just an FYI- I’ve adopted 2 dogs in the L.A. area in the last 10 years from 2 separate rescue organizations. BOTH made me go through an application process which included a home visit and a background check. Additionally, it was made abundantly clear that if I could not keep the dog for ANY reason I was to return it to the organization. It’s in GIANT PRINT in the contract you sign and they emphasized it with me in person as well. They also both specified that under no circumstance are you to EVER take the dog to a kill shelter. Reputable rescue organizations don’t just hand over dogs to anyone for money.
“ The shelter called me and informed me a “REALITY CELEBRITY” brought in the dog- Dr. John Sessa
Tamara I hope you address this news and Sice it seems Dorit lied to Andy hopefully they will let her go.
Yes, he gave a great clarification. She’s a total liar and con artist, PK is being sued left and right for money owed everyone including the government. Dorit needs to go bye bye.
LOL at Andy firing Dorit for lying. Have you seen the rim jobs he give Teresa Giudice?
Dorit and Paul are both giant liars. That is why they are friends with Ken and Lisa. Ken and Lisa also fled England for the US about the same time Paul did. Why do you think that is. Weren’t they “very successful restaurant owners” in England?
#BirdsOfAFeather
Her assistant went down to Vanderpump Dogs to hash it out with them after they picked Lucy up from the shelter, but she herself took the dog all the way to Orange County? I don’t buy it. I think she probably had her assistant take the dog to the shelter in all honesty. I really think if she had given the dog to some woman, we would have heard from
Her by now.
Can’t stand Dorit. She deserved to be put on blast for the dog situation. I believe Teddi probably gossiped about it with the Vanderpump Dogs employee, if she really is friends with him. Another season of trying to take LVP down. I’m over it already. This whole dog storyline is ridiculous anyway! Geez, Is it really that important? These ladies have to watch EVERYTHING they say and do around each other. Also, why was everyone at the table consoling Dorit? She was the one who did something wrong!
Because they all hate LVP more, that’s why. LVP defended Dorit all last season against Kyle and Teddi who were sticking up for LVP and themselves, so they were just paying back the favor.
I reallllyyyy don’t think Erika and the rest of the women even like Dorit TBH.
I don’t think they do either. However, most all of them have been the victim of LVP in previous seasons, so it’s like some sick LVP anonymous group.
Great recap, comments and links.
Thanks.
I don’t like Denise Richards. She already made derogatory comments about Charlie Sheen as expected. She also made a point of telling us that she has sex every day with her current guy. She is trash, thirsty to get Bravo bucks and television airtime. She reminds me of Sonja, someone who talked about her sex life without regard to her daughter. Another skank.
No one gives a shit if you like her, but you are completely misinformed about her. She is a working actress. I hate to break it to you but lots of newlyweds have sex every day with their husbands. That doen;’t make her trash. She does not need money. She slashed Charlies Sheens child support on her own because he wasted all his money. She also adopted a special needs child. She has also practically raised the kids that the other woman who has kids with Charlie Sheen has. Their mother is frequently in and out of rehab and psychiatric wards. Their other parent is Charlie Sheen. She gets no financial support to do that and doesn’t ask for it. She has her own successful acting career in addition to the housewives paycheck.
You seem like the trash to me, Susie. Try getting laid. You seem REALLY sexually repressed. Perhaps see a therapist for that or sign up for Farmers Only Dot Com or something. I think farmers like pigs.
So you love Denise. Good for you. I do think it is trashy to talk about how she turned a doctors visit with him into their first sexual encounter. She has teenage daughters at home. That is not what decent mothers disclose so yeah, she probably does need the Bravo paycheck pretty bad to support all of them living in Malibu.
You telling me that I seem like trash is of no consequence to me considering the source. After what I recently read about you, if true, is nothing to brag about. If the photo of you on the web is real, I wouldn’t be calling anyone names. But this is what you do for a living, rooting around for information. Oink, oink.
Well, I mean… that really isn’t my best photo… That was before the gastric bypass!
Maybe not trash, but judging by the belligerent tone of her comments to you (TT) and also in this thread to me, I am thinking Susie is either cockoo crazy or someone who has had no sleep for several weeks.
Poor dear. I’d did’t even give her Windex or paper towels as a parting gift!
No doubt about it, you’re a hard lady. ❤️
Hard on the inside, but really,really squishy on the outside. 🙂
YAS 🙌🏻🙌🏻!
To clarify – the cheering was for TT defending Denise Richards and hersef .( It showed up much lower on the stream ) Susie- damn calm down . How ya gonna personally insult the person who runs this shit?
Denise Richards is a washed-up “B” actress who was living next door to Heather Locklear when she stole Richie Sambora from Heather.
