Tonight on RHOBH, Dorit Kemsley deals with the fallout of the tabloid story Lisa Vanderpump planted. Kyle Richards has an epic fallout with Lisa Vanderpump that ends their friendship forever. Can this please be the finale episode with Lisa Vanderpump in it?
Denise Richards
Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers are nesting and enjoying being married. They opened some presents while talking about how great Aaron is with the kids. The kids seem to love him. That’s sweet.
Lisa Vanderpump
LVP arrives at Vanderpump Dogs to find a crew filming from the Puppy Bowl. Dog aficionado, LVP tells us that the Puppy Bowl airs “right before the Superbowl.” Wrong. The Puppy Bowl is counterprogramming to the Super Bowl for people who don’t care about football. It’s a bunch of dogs running around on a “football field.” Even I know that, and I’ve never watched it in my life. Clearly, neither has LVP.
Also, although the dogs are all from rescue shelters they will have been adopted by the time the show actually airs and their stories are told on the show. So it is not a show to get the dogs adopted. Also, Giggy, dying or not, would not be eligible as it is a puppy bowl and puppies are allowed up to the age of 21 months.
Lisa Vanderpump has a competing scene with her own charity event at soul cycle. A congressman is going to have a resolution passed in the house to reconsider their stance on making a statement about other countries eating dog meat. It’s a step below making resolution to declare national hot dog day. LVP has a representative from Florida coerced into giving her a shoutout for the show. So she can pretend to be shocked. It’s nauseating really. She also thinks that the US can ban the trade of dog and cat meat all over the world. She’ a moron. The resolution just says we don’t condone other countries selling dog and cat meat. Just like resolutions they pass to have national cupcake day says “we support cupcakes.”
Teddi Mellencamp
Teddi Mellencamp has always been very supportive of Lisa Vanderpump and Vanderpump Dogs. She has organized a spin class to raise money for the shelter. Of course Vanderpump won’t bother to show up for it but everyone else will.
Dorit Kemsley calls Teddi the morning of the event to talk about the ROL article that LVP planted. They both talk about LVP acting like she was over the entire thing at Denise’s wedding. Of course all the girls talk about LVP leaking to ROL before the event.
I Don’t Give A Flying Fig About LVP!
After spin class, all the ladies do a miraculous wardrobe change and head to Fig & Olive for lunch. How the hell did that happen. I do not believe the RHOBH are capable of such a quick change.
Of course they talk about LVP not showing up. Kyle tells them about her little viewing party at Vanderpump Dogs. It’s clear that her TV viewing was much later than the spin class. Kyle tries to defend LVP. She says that LVP is not there to defend herself. Shady productions flashes back to another time Kyle has defended LVP from actions she has actually done.
Lisa Rinna says that when she started the show, LVP told her that if she ever needed help with the press to leak a story. She gave Rinna the name and number of the person to contact if she ever needed it. But let’s not let facts get in the way.
Kyle is forced to admit that Lisa Vanderpump has been accused of this in the past. Roll that beautiful bean footage, production! And they do. Adrienne Maloof confronted her about selling to ROL. LVP says that she was never paid. Of course not. She just feeds them what she wants them to publish. She doesn’t need the $500 payment for it. Kyle does admit the only person that benefits from the story is Lisa Vanderpump and Vanderpump Dogs.
Dorit plays the victim role to the hilt. It did bring out all the crazy LVP fans who mocked Dorit and her children. They are just nasty, ignorant pieces of shit. And there are hoardes of them coming for all the other RHOBH.
Kyle Richards
Kyle and Teddi Mellencamp arrive at a gorgeous Beverly Hills home owned by one of Kyle’s friends, Sharon. It seems like a very interesting to time to meet new friends on the show. Ah, Sharon is a jeweler who is going to recreate some of Kyle’s mother’s jewelry that was stolen in the break-in.
Then Teddi and Kyle discuss the fact that LVP summoned TMZ to Vanderpump Dogs to “talk about the dog resolution” that didn’t happen. I remember seeing this video. It was the oddest thing. Let’s watch it again. Shall we? And remember, she is going to say she called them to talk about “getting the resolution to the floor.” You know, the one she said in the other scene that “passed.”
This is LVP not wanting to talk to the press about Dorit Kemsley. Clearly, the TMZ guy had been told what questions to ask. She didn’t use the platform to talk about a house resolution (that has no effect on other countries) she talked about Dorit all the while saying that is not why they are there.
Lisa Rinna
Harry Hamlin is planning a solo trip to mountain climb in Canada. He’s packing upscale MREs to eat and traveling light. We bring up Nicolette Sheridan again. This whole scene is production driven. One of my commenters recently said that it seems like they are setting up for a Nicolette Sheridan appearance on the show. I didn’t pay it much attention but now I’m a believer. The phrase, Lisa VanderTrump is coined.Harry Hamlin pretends he wishes that Lisa Rinna was going with him.
A Swan Shit Bridge Too Far…
On Kyle’s ride over we are reminded of the time Kyle Richards defended LVP over her plan to take down Yolanda Foster with the Munchausen story.
I can’t even being to recap this play acting on LVP’s part. She’s shocked by “all the negative stories.” However does this happen? LVP says she “didn’t even read it properly.” Now that is a lie. LVP describes exactly what she did and then asks why she would do that. We all know why. All of this is her big chance to get rid of Dorit without looking like she did it. The same way she fed the surrogacy story to Brandi Glanville. The same way she set up Lisa Rinna with the Yolanda Foster Munchausen situation. The same way she set up Camille Grammer with the Taylor Armstrong abuse allegations. This is not new behavior and neither is LVP’s “Who me?” reaction.
Kyle tells LVP that she absolutely believes that she gave ROL the story about Dorit. LVP swear on all sorts of things that she would never give a story to ROL. Puhlease. Also see here for why LVP’s responses are that of a liar. LVP storms off in a huff. The friendship is over. It’s Nene Leakes and Cynthia Bailey, RHOBH version.
Here Is How LVP Used The New Housewives in The First Six Seasons
Ken Todd may have an aneurysm over this. He gets up and Kyle’s face. He shows her “the proof” the TMZ video they also paid for. Blind Item Reveal!The TMZ video was supposed to make everyone believe LVP didn’t give ROL the story. He’s furious it didn’t work!
Ken says Kyle has “joined the gang.” WTF until this debacle Dorit and Teddi were so far up LVP’s ass it was ridiculous. They were rabid LVP fans!
LVP takes her doggie and Ken and storms off upstairs for a second and final time and tells Kyle to get the fuck out of her house. And back over the Swan Shit Bridge she goes. For the last time? Which is sad. Not because the friendship is over, but because I have some many gorgeous photos of Kyle in that fuschia hat I wanted to use. I’ll save them for flashbacks. Seriously, Kyle looks stunning in every frame of RHOBH footage. It makes it impossible to choose a shot!
P.S. There are a LOT of great links to past LVP stories in this post. Please check them out.
P.P.S Please follow me on Instagram, I just updated it and it’s now a real site with a clean fresh look!
I sat forward through Denise because I find her odd and boring and the husband even more so. I don’t believe Lisa would swear on her family she’s telling the truth if she was not. Past aside, here I believe her and Kyle went in there with her mind made up. Bottom line is Dorit was wrong and shady and this all blew up despite Lisa being correct in being angry Dorit violated the dog contract. Why can’t we see all the real life stuff about the shady shit of PK and Dorit who seem to pick up where Taylor and Russell left off. Rinna is funny and the most fun to watch. Sad to see this happen with Kyle and Lisa. Lisa was happy to see her when she came in. And Ken defended his wife, it’s fine. He should’ve put the dog down while arguing.
cat37 – This. Agree with everything you said – I liked Denise on the show but she’s really odd
Lisa Vandertrump …. That is the best one yet Rinna!!!
I have said before her fans are just as Coockoo as Trumps and I completely stand by it! LVP is just as full of S%#&! as Trump and all the shady stories she has been involved in only have one common denominator. Good for you Kyle! At last you find your balls and stick them right up LVP’s face!
I also enjoyed what Harry said about the Vanderpump propaganda. It was so true.
It we are being honest- who has the most to gain by this story? Anyone who wants LVP out of the spotlight. I applaud everything LVP has done for animal rights and to demean that work is petty. Find one person on this show who wouldn’t give their left tit to have what LVP has media wise, can’t do it. She’s a fan favorite period. She’s my favorite warts and all. I don’t view what Kyle did by confronting her as what a friend does and no one had a gun to their head prior, if they felt manipulated they could simply walk away. It’s lord of the flies and currently they don’t care for the lord. Rinna has turned from quirky to majorly aggressive, I think the dog story line was fed by those wanting LVP out. You want reality then open the doors to all of your life’s not just LVP. Dorit and her fake tears and grifter ways, Kyle and her no story storyline (sorry American Girl wasn’t picked up), Rinna and her momager, Teddi being accountable to soul cycle, etc etc, and Erica promoting her diva ways, fine but they sure have selective memory on what they share.
Agreed.
Completely Agree. Well said. Jealousy and hide their real life ..and they project their poor behavior on LVP. Kyle is the one who puts image above friends, Dorit is a fake fraud, Erica is well, it’s obvious and rinna? -nasty 2-faced phony. Teddi is just…immature. The show needs help.
This.
Sad to see how quickly everyone has turned on LVP. Can’t give her kudos enough for her stance on anima rights and animal rescues. She didn’t need the Dorit drama; Dorit comes with her own drama. If anyone needs to leave, it’s Kyle. She’s really boring and picking a major fight with LVP just shows desperation. So many on RHBH that need to go. LVP really carries the show and always has but I suspect she is ready to go. She has a full, successful life without this [email protected]&t Show.
LVP carries the show?
No, not at all.
As evidenced by the fact that they managed to film the rest of the season without her.
I live LVP but she far from carries the show.
I’m already bored with the next episode.
Lisa doesn’t carry the show but Kyle AND Lisa do. One goes down it’s not the same.
Lisaj – l agree with you about LVP 100%.
And LVP does make the show. Of course they can film a bunch of stupid scenes without her, but it’s nothing but smack talking about who??? LVP. Because she’s who we tune in to see.
Kyle & Bravo eff’d up.
Well said, LisaJ! It was obvious when Yolanda wanted to be queen, but this season I can’t narrow it down. Only Lisa has that appeal and charisma to carry it. I hope Dorit, everyone’s new bestie, wins the role and sinks the sh__ ship that is now RHOBH.
I cant wait for the rest of the season!
1. Vandertrump is gone
2. Doggate is over
3. Vandertrump stans wont watch or have anything to say
Win Win Win! Or- Rinna Rinna Chickendinner 🙂
Are you really that stupid? It’s been confirmed LVP is in the rest of the season. Maybe not every episode but you’re fooling yourself if you think you’ve seen the last of her or her millions of fans.
Um, I suppose we will see who is stupid. From this point on LVP refused to leave her house.
Bish Please! Having housearrest and playing the victim is really not pretty on anyone. Nobody cares. So if she has 5 minutes here and then Vandertrump stans enjoy that! I I’m gonna anjoy the show while Vandertrump sits in the corner with the other Dunces. You never win when you play dirty!
Considering we already know there is a scene of Dorit vs LVP at one of her many restaurants based on the trailer, I think it’s safe to say we already know who the stupid ones are. #thankunext
Harry’s comment was the most sensitive statement ever made on a Housewives show.
Sensible
i must say, ken is not a gentlemen. could u imagine maricio screaming and swearing at lvp like ken did to kyle. and he will never apologise , neither he or lvp
think they have to apologise to anyone. so they are bar owners, and english, oh my! kyle took it, and as an aside, you all must agree, kyle is the most beautiful of
all the housewives on bravo.
Preach! I totally agree Kate – but on the bright side Kyle really earned her crwon! Including season 9, Kyle Richards is now the only Real housewife of Beverly hills who has been featured in every episode! I think the Crown was too heavy for Vandertrump indeed!
I think you must be Kyle. Even Howard Stern said this cast was “vomit” I will no longer be watching this shitshow.
We all know Howard Stern is the end all be all.
Andy asked Howard on the radio what he thought of RHOBH so he must have cared what he thought. Andy was speechless Btw.
I was planning on quitting this show after the last episode anyway. Did I mention that Howard said Dorit was a POC for what she did to that dog. You know he and beth are avid animal rescue people so that was not a surprise.
“I think you must be Kyle. Even Howard Stern said this cast was “vomit” I will no longer be watching this shitshow.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I paid a shit ton in income taxes today. It’s been the day from hell. THIS RIGHT HERE has made my day.
I. Can’t. Stop. Laughing!
Then I got to the comment where the decider of all things “vomit” said Dorit is a POC. God I hope she is Asian. She desperately needs a new accent.
I can’t believe that we are going to miss out on the sheer stupidity of Cheryle’s comments on this show anymore.
Who am I kidding. She’s be back next week to say that Andrew Dice Clay found this show to be very off color.
Thank you TT, your reaction made me laugh out loud!
Cheryle Boo! I could be Kyle. However Kyle is too Showbizz to say Howard Stern is the wrinkly scrotum hanging under USA’s flacid P€%&#. But in words you might relate to: GOODBYE CHERYLE!!!
Ken’s behaviour was revolting but don’t forget Mauricio did behave like that and worse to Brandi, so he’s not always the gentleman.
I am Team LVP bc I could care less about this “ dog scandal “ it has just made me hate this show and half of these ladies! Such a shame to have a season ruined for Denise – she was a refreshing change! I think this was all contrived to get LVP off the show and start LVP DOG show! I can’t stand Teddi and Dorit and I am not watching only reading your recaps!
Following you on insta now. Who knew? Anyway, you’re recap of all the “set ups” by LVP are nothing short of brilliant. But I gotta say, who the fuck really cares about the puppygate bs? I mean, LVP outing the surrogacy through Brandi is outrageous- but the other stuff? No biggie.
That Dorit is an ass, and she thought she was so smart dumping the dog in the valley. We all know she didn’t give it to some woman.
I don’t think the cast would still be upset- what they are upset about is that she ghosted them, and wouldn’t be present to fight back. Do NOT tell me it’s because Rinna has a moral compass. Hers isn’t broken- she doesn’t have one. Lying and scheming- do we watch this stuff assuming they are all honest? Angels?
So Taylor being blindsided on camera about her abusive home life is “no biggie”? Hmm… each to their own.
Nope. That poser/manipulative woman wanted it out. Blindsided, um not by a long shot. Just in polite company, we don’t speak of this stuff out loud. So Camille did. Taylor was so relieved to get attention, and yes, to support her abuse claims that Lisa did her a favor.
I I respectfully disagre, as someone who suffered an abusive domestic home life, there is no way that I would have wanted anything to have come out publicly to have made my husband look like the bad guy. Him looking like the bad guy well he would have projected onto me I would have been the one to suffer. Whatever you think about Taylor, she was abused and she was also abused by her friends who used her for storyline. Taylor wasn’t relieved to get attention, she was relieved that maybe there was a way out. It’s naive to think otherwise.
Taylor who not abused by her friends. She wanted the truth out there. She ultimately spoke out about domestic abuse publicly at luncheons to which some of the women attended in super her. It gave her her voice to say “enough.”
I absolutely detest that all this makes us feel bad for Dorit, I cannot stand her. Kyle did well and watching Ken flipping out at Kyle, getting all bright red and shaking shows a side that I’m sure they tried to keep hidden. He knows that his wife’s little game playing says are over and her shady behavior is being exposed. LVP is very good at the whole moral outrage, very good. She could win an Oscar for her performance. I’m just loving that kyle found her voice and has put her cards on the table.
Yeah, I don’t feel bad about Dorit. Not. One. Bit.
Ken has a bad habit of getting aggressive with the ladies. I applaud Kyle for keeping her composure, however, he needs to be very careful because everyone is not able to compose themselves the way Kyle did. I’m not a violent person, however, when you think you have the right to invade my personal space and come at me in such an aggressive manner I will defend myself. I would have slapped Ken hand out of my face and possibly knocked Ken on his ASS. He needs to be put in his place. Mauricio needs to pay Ken a visit. Ken should not be ignored because he’s an old man. Lisa and Ken are full of SHIT! Ken is very disrespectful towards women since Bravo want take any accountability for his behavior maybe one of the husbands should hold his foot to the fire. I’ve been married as long as Lisa and Ken I have never seen my husband be disrespectful to a woman. When it comes to my relationship with my friends my husband never gets involved. That was a very difficult scene to watch I felt bad for Kyle.
Kyle came to Lisa’s home to call her a liar and you felt bad for Kyle? LOL. I didn’t feel bad for her one bit.
I hope Rinna stays on this show long enough to get what’s coming to her for being the shit stirrer and head bitch. I used to love her but her smarmy ways, fake laugh, and loose lips make me want to gag. Clearly even her husband cannot wait to escape from her. I want to say “die bitch,” but it isn’t nice.
I love this entire comment!
Ken is 74 years old and was under stressed. Anyone would be that upset to been yelled & cuss at in their own home. Be for real…
Here is what doesn’t sit right with me. John Blizzard is not in the shithouse with LVP. She claims to barely know this guy or never communicates with him or whatever. But then finds out this person she claims to barely have a relationship with “put words in her mouth”, causing this damage to her frienships with Dorit and Teddie, bringing her integrity and reputation into serious question, and painting her to be a backstabbing schemer and nothing really happens to the guy. Call me crazy but if this happened to me, Blizzard would be made to apologize & confess his crimes to my friends, fired, and then banished to the 7th circle of hell, never to be seen or heard from again. And yet he essentially receives a semi-stern talking to, appears to still be in his good graces, and is chummy with her at her party. I would be more inclined to believe this version of events if she wasn’t joking around with the guy at an event that looked relatively intimate. Where is the fury against this guy who LIED (allegedly) about her motivations? Bring some of that righteous indignation down on his head and maybe I will believe this version of events. P.S. Dorit still sucks and is a terrible person. I fully believe they took the dog to the shelter and there was never a “lovely woman”. I am annoyed she gets to play the victim card in this scenario. Questionable behavior on LVP’s part does not excuse, diminish, or absolve Dorit from her unfeeling stupidity. How hard would it have been to just give the dog back to Vanderpump Dogs and admit it’s not a good time to adopt a puppy!??!
Probably because they couldn’t afford the 5k penalty to give the dog back.
As l understand it, the penalty is for violating the contract, which Dorit did by bringing the dog to a shelter. She wouldn’t have owed anything if she had returned the dog to Vanderpump Dogs.
I really hate Rinna. Thought it was hilarious that Harry Hamlin doesn’t seem to want to be home with her. He just got back from Canada and now he’s off on a solo climbing trip. I’d want to get away from that cackle too Harry!
And Erica Jayne…ugh. Nasty and angry. Pissed because LVP has a much better marriage with her older man. Ick.
Ahhh – Erica – the sniper from the side. I always thought of that comment as her projecting and I was waiting for what she would do. I wonder what she had to do in all this.
All of this!!
Okay. I’m out! Can’t take this anymore…When I find myself thinking about when was the last time I flossed my teeth during some “dramatic” scene on BH, it’s time to call it a day. Bring on the NYC ladies.
If anyone cares there’s an updated article about Lucy on another site. The dog’s name is now Lulu and she has a home. The article is pretty interesting, in a indirect way the previous owner gets shaded. The new owner claims they don’t want to take sides but it’s obvious they are taking sides with all the shading. The dog is adorable and you can tell she’s happy.
Yay for Lulu. That is all that is important to me. The rest of this comforting of the horrible creatures Dorit and hubby is absurd. These women, on all franchises, play ugly games with each other. Kyle can chew her lips to bits and get her support elsewhere.
I just read the article in People, and clearly it’s placed by Team LVP and VP Dogs. They insinuate the dog was abused by prior owners since she was perfect when she was adopted out and then frightened when she was adopted by the new owners. Shady, shade shade. LVP is doubling down on her crap. And while Dorit is hard to defend, the LVP fans and some misguided animal lovers will continue to go after Dorit and her family for this fiasco.
Seriously, how can people not see right through LVP? Her indignation at Kyle’s claims was enough to seal the deal for me. She’s completely guilty and both she and Ken know it.
With all do respect, none of these ladies had to bring up what Lisa Vanderpump pushed them to say on camera. They chose to talk about those things, whenever I don’t want to go there with gossip I just shut that person down. Do I believe you guys are right about Lisa? Probably. But they went there and they have to own that.
Totally agree PamBear! Whenever any of these ladies beat their chests and carry on about being victimized and used by LVP, I always think – No one put a gun to your head to force you to gossip! You can’t be played if you don’t go to the playground. LVP is snakey and sneaky enough to have figured out that for most of the other women, gossip and self promotion is too titillating and they choose to participate. Then they play the victim alongside the person they were trying to take down.
Ummm no one put a gun to their heads sure, but they still have obligations and that’s to gossip and continue storylines like the producers tell them to. Like when Kyle had to keep bringing up Dorit when she and LVP were shopping. Bravo wasn’t about wasting their time and money just filming them shop. Either it’s funny, meaningful, or gossipy.
And honestly, love her or hate her, I cannot see how anyone cannot agree that she is manipulative and lies and get others to put stories out there during filming. If ONE person said it, ok. But now we have seen multiple cast mates who have known this woman for years and have confirmed THIS IS WHO SHE IS. Why defend it? And really I thought she was doing it bc the producers encouraged it bc it was easy for her to find ways to get stories out there that they want aired for drama. And of course she goes along bc why not? As powerful and successful as she and her friends are, I’m sure she’s never been in a position where being gossipy or manipulative has bitten her in the ass. But keep doing shit every season on a reality show with other women, where it’s everyone’s actual job to create drama, it’s bound to find that ass eventually and bite it.
LVP is a woman. A very intelligent one, but still a human woman who likes gossip, likes to manipulate, holds grudges, and likes to get back at people using other people. She’s funny, sweet, loving, and an avid animal lover, maybe even more than all of us combined. And she’s also petty, mean, vicious, and a liar. Which puts her in great company with pretty much the entire franchise, and really most of reality tv.
And I, too, do not like that Dorit gets to be a victim with the whole cast up her ass and licking it, really all in the name of coming together to side against LVP for all of their grievances with her. I get it, but it’s transparent, petty, and uber annoying that it gets to be her of all people.
Honestly. It’s beyond ridiculous and boring. Who gives a toss. What a bunch of thoroughly unlikeable women.
Don’t believe Lisa would want that kind of bad publicity for her rescue and don’t believe she planted the story. The editor says it’s one of the housewives. I think it could be Lisa Rinna? There a report out there that this group of four met at a restaurant to come up with a plan to take down LVP by using the dog story and that someone working at the restaurant overheard this plan and outted this event.
That publicity is driving the development of the dog spin off.
It’s so obvious Swizzle!
@Cheryl: Agree, would be counterproductive. Yes Lucy was abused. There is a video taken of Lucy by the Kemsley’s trying to climb out of her cage. She’s teetering on top and falls onto the concrete basement floor and yelps when she landed on her head. Kemsley’s just laughed. Glad Kemsley’s are exposed.
The Coven sure made fools out of themselves last night, especially Saint Kyle.
Nope. Nope. Nope
The acting on this show is terrible. I think this was all scripted and produced with everyone in on it. When Kyle was at lisashiuse she was barely keeping her smile in check. She’s smiling that whole time until
ken comes in. Then you have Lisa opening the door. She was sooooooo happy to see Kyle. That was to show the contrast of her mood when she throw some Kyle out. She’s never been that happy to see Kyle, so that was utter bs.
Then there’s this whole thing with the dog. Where are the shelter employees who took the dog in? Why haven’t they come forward to say who brought the dog in if it was really Dorit? If it was some random woman, why hasn’t she come forward to say anything. I truly believe even with the backlash, whoever that woman was would have said something. Then you have the whole thing with the texts. So fucking vague so you can argue either side. Teddi also said they all sat down with production and talked about it before the season started.
Let’s talk about who this storyline benefits – everyone. This storyline keeps the focus off the lawsuits Dorit and Erika are facing. It highlights Vanderpump Dogs for the spinoff. Bravo can get rid of Lisa by giving her a spin off and then replacing her with someone younger to hit their demographic targets (something we know they’re trying to do). Lisa Rinna and Kyle finally get the chance to “expose” Vanderpump.
i’m guessing they had to sign a non disclosure agreement.
Who, the shelter employees? No they wouldn’t have to sign an NDA. Only the “lovely woman” would have to, and why would they ask her to if they thought she was giving it a lovely
Home?
Earlgrey, that theory is weirdly plausible to me, especially in light of TT’s reporting that Bravo wants to shove out the old and bring in the new.
LVP gets promised a new show if she plays along, and her dramatic exit gives her a chance to play the victim card. Not sure what the rest of the ladies get out of it, as no one really likes a gang up on one housewife, particularly when she’s suffered a tragic personal loss. Maybe a chance to finally air their grievances against LVP?
I don’t know. This is the only episode I’ve watched since the first of the season. Too stressful for me.
LVP has been horrible for years. She is a manipulative asshole who profits off others’ pain. When VPR started, I was aghast at how she used Brandi to get the scene set to lead into the new show. Then I was aghast at how she and the VPR producers created a whole storyline about Jax’s infidelity in the first season. I didn’t watch the show after that. It was nauseating.
I wouldn’t watch a show about her dog business, either. She is fake as fuck. She even made a nasty remark about the dog then hastily corrected herself because cameras.
What does she get from this bullshit drama? Attention that will lead to viewership for her new show. Every single episode has featured VP Dogs, like a fucking infomercial.
It pisses me off that LVP feels a certain way about Adrienne, Taylor, Yolanda, etc. but manipulates others to speak up. I’m less annoyed that the others agree with her, than the fact that LVP orchestrates these takedowns but then backs out and leaves others hanging. Throws the rock and hides her hand. I would actually admire her if she’d call someone out and be open about it. Have the courage of her convictions. But instead we get this bullshit.
Speaking of Adrienne, she piped up on social media recently looking eager for a trimuphant return.
One of the early reports about this fiasco claimed a shelter employee said a reality tv star dropped off the dog, on a Sunday IIRC
All I know is that if Ken put his finger in my face like that…I’d be catching a case. Can’t stand him or LVP and so glad their true colors have been revealed.
On a side note, I wonder how Mauricio feels watching that scene and knowing how another man treated his wife. Ken doesn’t have the balls to actually do that in front of him or to another man for that matter.
Amen!
I agree!
Mauricio should go to Lisa and Ken house and tell Ken” I heard you have been campaigning for an Ass whooping, guess what you just got ELECTED” Ken is an insufferable Asswhipe. There’s nothing worse than a abusive, entitled IDIOT.
Kyle clearly has seen Ken do that before or he’s done it to her. She didn’t even flinch. I’d have lost it if someone angrily shoved their finger in my face like that.
I was surprised by how calm Kyle was, considering she can get emotional very quickly, I can only assume she has seen this behaviour from Ken before.
Or maybe that’s the reaction she was expecting or wanting.
Doubtful.
Vickie, you know it has to be Kyle’s fault that Ken and Lisa were in her face.
Obviously lol! Just like it’s the wife’s fault for back chatting when her husband cracks her one 😉
It is if this crap is all production driven and scripted like I think it is.
I believe it’s production driven and scripted myself. Seriously, how many of us in our lives carry on over such nonsense with our friends? How many grown women do we know who complain that another friend manipulates them? How many of us would fall for the “manipulations” year after year and each year, come back for more? I don’t know any grown women who behave this way.
Did Lisa want to throw Dorit under the bus before puppygate or because of it? Dorit is annoying as hell and was in the wrong but this has spectacularly blown up in LVP’s face… Also that was some next level abusive reaction From Lisa & Ken in my opinion. Not what I would call an honest reaction… but also red flags popping off there.
It’s pretty bad when Dorit is coming out of this smelling like a rose even though this is all her fault because she gave the puppy to a kill shelter.
LVP was unhappy with Dorit towards the end of last season, I forget why.
Because Dorit was talking shit about LVP to Kyle and others.
Dorit said LVP had a cold unloving childhood and LVP was extremely jealous when Dorit didn’t give her total attention. She painted LVP as being sad & needy. All the girls knew she was full of it. Camille is the only one who calls Dorit out. All the rest let her be a victim to make themselves look good.
Although she came across as an ass her first season, Camille has really come across as a good and honest woman. When she commented on Dorit’s fake accent, I nearly crapped. It was as if the 4th wall blew out instantly and she said all that we viewers have said all the time.
If someone came into my house and accused me of shit and wouldn’t leave after being asked to leave.. after 3 times I would be aggressive too.
See, I agree with you. Here come the charges of being blind to LVP’s flaws. But: 1) Kyle of all people cannot claim innocence or offense regarding finger-in-face antics. 2) All three of them were shouting and wildly gesticulating. 3) Come into my house claiming to be my friend, falsely accuse me, refuse to leave, shout, gesticulate wildly while doing so, and I will not be nice. Whatever the background story. Nope.
Kyle went over to “speak her truth”, weird way to treat a friend. It came off as, “I am your friend and I don’t believe you.” The news had pretty well spread by the time the Radar On Line article ran. Erika is being too cute claiming only 10 people knew. Maybe 10 x 10 people.
LVP will always be on the show-one by one the others will agree to film with her. Camille is already back in the saddle and filming with LVP in Las Vegas.
If you don’t leave my house after being asked once it would be game over. I’d of snatched Kyle’s ugly ass hat and chucked it into the swan pond. GOODBYE KYLE!
Can this really be the story line?? It’s hard for me to make heads or tails of it all but I’m not hating being off cable. Except for RHOA Reunion and of course my fav-RHONY. Being a NY girl living in the South just kinda gave me life. Piecing things together is interesting though!! Your recaps are seeing me through!!
Same here!! I was forced into cutting my cable by my mean and awful husband when we moved! How dare he!? I am LIVING through these recaps and comments! HA! Thanks as always to TT!!
Ken is so abusive. He always has been, but LVP is always trying to hide the truth. I can’t watch him yell at a woman again, especially knowing he assaulted a woman last year. They shouldn’t allow him on the show anymore.
umm… TT, i love you girl and i love this site but there are rare moments your bias shows . this time, it’s when you say LVP didn’t know anything about when the puppy bowl supposedly aired and it did air the day of the super bowl a couple hours before, exactly as she had said.
I thought the same thing when I read that. I watched 3 or 4 episodes of Puppy Bowl that day because I recorded all of them . My pretty puppy watches Puppy Bowl too.
Is it me or does dorit not seem to have much of a British accent this season as she did last season. I can’t stand her. I can’t stand teddi this season too as she’s trying way too hard and I think Denise who I used to like outside of this show is odd and her husband is creepy and insincere like an opportunist. Something is off about him. If this season is going to be about this dog issue I will give up and tune out. New year housewives here I come!!
Sorry autocorrect??…… i meant NEW YORK housewives here i come!!
Ugh, that scene where Doris squeezed out a few fake tears. Spare me please. She had a crying scene in the Bahamas too. She sure is getting a lot of mileage out of this whole thing. I think she loves every minute.
She absolutely loves every minute. LVP’s attempt to get rid of her backfired in the most horrible of ways. Of all the times LVP has done stuff like this, THIS has to be the time it blew up in her face?
Hmmm I am slightly into astrology and energy reading. It’s strange with the Jussie Smulet case, Trump and Vandertrump that the karma has been delayed. I will dare to say, though, I feel there is more to unfold about their doings… Considering how careless and erratic they’ve acted their are things to come to light about their past in all cases. Stassi Schroeder said in a recent interview that it would be impossible that Vandertrumps hands were totally clean in this case. Brandi Glanville claiming Scheana has a lot of bad things to say about Vandertrump. Some anonymous source might start spilling/confirming the real tea including previous posts from here about Vandertrump to the mainstream media channels, the media loves to build people up and then tear them down over and over. The truth will always prevail even years later…
I was just editing a post that made a reference to Lady Gaga. I linked to a 2014 post that reminded me of that time that LVP told Lady Gaga to exclude Brandi Glanville from filming the video. So she did.
She’s always been this way. Some people are blinded by the puppies and the accent and the swans and the mini horses and such for longer than others.
I just re-read Here Is How LVP Used The New Housewives in The First Six Seasons! It was just as good as the first time. Maybe even better!
Though Adrienne was far from a sympathic housewife I still do giggle thinking of her in her Maloof Hoofs and Cristmas Tinsels in her hair, sitting with a big bowl of popcorn seeing this whole thing unfold…
Someone once told me that the most important relationships is the closest to you and Vandertrumps are soon at a NFL sitch… Except the hollywood friends of course- I am looking at you Lance Bass!
Is there a an update for season 7-8 of RHOBH Vandertrump Splits Richards dynamic? Otherwise it would be relevant since I dont believe their relationship has ever deen this torn. Pretty Please
Ms. Periweather, PLEASE READ TEH COMMENTING RULES. We do not allow nicknames here. Ive been lenient about VanderTrump as that phrase was used on the episode. But you need to read ALL the commenting rules.
The link is in the top left corner of the black box at the top of all posts.
Oh of course, that is noted 🙂
While I do believe that LVP fed info to people to get them to talk about stuff, I don’t consider Glanville and Rinna innocents in these debacles. Neither of those women are dummies and willingly went along with these schemes.
rinna is a soap opera actress, so there is that.
First, let me cop to watching puppy bowl. It’s cute, what can I say?
I hope this dog sh*t is over. The dog lives. End of story.
It was a real b*Tchaikovsky…I’m leaving that autocorrect…to send some unknown volunteer to support the cycling charity . It shows that LVP is more concerned with her ego than raising money for the dogs. And the resolution is ridiculous. I did love how they didn’t know what the status of it was.
When someone says, ‘I swear on this and this’ life’, ‘ I swear on my dog’; etc they are lying.
I agree. Swearing on the life of a loved one is a huge red flag.
That is not always true and you should know that.
I actually saw a long interview with Dr Phil regarding the Jussie Smullet case and Leaving Neverland. He also says it is a huge red flag when someone swears on their loved ones and uses sentences like”you know me- I stand for integrity, I would never lie about this” textbook liar! The reason they can justify it to themselves is that they believe they are doing it for a better cause, so rules that apply other people doesnt apply them. Like extremists and Vandertrump. I still can’t with that name Rinna Rinna Chickendinner
That’s why I thought Teddi’s grand statement, “you know me, I never lie” to be so shady, then turns out she was lying by omission of texts to ‘protect Dorit from hearing I called her a narcissist’. Dorit probably doesn’t even know the word and if so probably would think it’s endearing- and it actually is the only truth told by Teddi.
My ex-husband swore on our daughters life that he wasn’t lying to me about having an affair. Turns out he was and now we’re divorced. Red flag when people say “I swear on my…..”
Did anyone else norice LVPs disparity in her talking head of Teddi’s raising money for Vanderpump Dogs? Something to the effect of Teddi raised a few thousand dollars but every little bit helps. Way to be grateful.
I wish the Ladies had just stayed out of it and let Dorit and LVP take each other out because they’re both horrible. I’m tired of everyone, including LVP saying Dorit didn’t do anything wrong because she did! Giving the dog to anyone other than Vanderpump was wrong! I don’t believe Dorit gave that dog to a woman that came to her home, she gave it to the woman that received it at the shelter.
I don’t believe LVP was ever ok with Dorit’s actions and wanted to take off the show just as quickly as she’d brought her on the show and it backfired.
Those of us that have been watching since episode 1 of season 1 can see clearly how LVP operates. Even commenters on other blogs that worship her are starting to see the light.
Harry Hamlin gave the perfect synopsis and Lisa Rinna’s VanderTrump comment was hilarious!.
I’m looking forward to the remainder of the season when puppy gate is no longer the stop story.
Yeah, it’s odd how Erika keeps chiming in with “and you didn’t do anything wrong!” which prompts Dorit to parrot that back. Otherwise, Dorit never thinks to deny her wrongdoing! It’s like Erika is her coach.
Almost as if Erika is her puppetmaster.
The LVP army of defenders and apologists marcheth forward. Lisa stirs the shit. Then stands back and says “who me?” It’s not about puppy gate or that the other women should have known better. It’s a pattern of behavior that she refuses to admit to. I love that she stirs the shit. I love her snarkiness. It just really gets annoying, when season after season, she doubles down on that she has nothing to do with any of it. I mean come on, we’re not that stupid. Well, maybe we are. I mean every single season it seems like every single person talks about how she is a puppet master and is constantly doing all the shit stirring and yet people still defend her saying she had no clue.
Who else benefits? Well, the person who benefits the LEAST is Lisa. She was already on the outs with her cast mates, she’d have to be a glutton for punishment to want the dog story with “Lisa Vanderpump & Dorit Kemsley at War!” to continue. She wants to give another reason for all her cast mates to attack her? Really?
Dorit Kemsley benefits. I always said that the FIRST person to accuse Lisa would be the guilty party. And surprise, surprise… we get to see a reenactment from Dorit & PK’s bed room. Oh! There’s a story! They used the word “nip”! It’s Lisa! By that logic, with the number of f-bombs used, I wrote all the 2 Live Crew songs back in the 80’s. With the story Dorit becomes the VICTIM in all this, especially if it was leaked by Lisa. Note, that all the cast of RH, all of VP Dogs, Production & the dog shelter that told VP Dogs that a “reality star” didn’t want the dog any longer all knew this story. And we heard it in action, “I didn’t do anything wrong!” and not one of the HW’s disagreed.
That point right there, not one of the HW’s disagreed is interesting. Dorit clearly did something wrong. But if not one of them will speak up and say it, it sure seems like their interests lie more with making Lisa look bad than in being honest on any level.
Lisa Rinna benefits. Rinna hates Lisa V. Is never more delighted than when Lisa V is made to look bad. If there’s a lawsuit, Rinna will bring it up on camera. Rinna knew about the dog story long before she went trotting over to Kyle and Lisa talking in the Bahamas so that Kyle could bring up Dorit & Lucy on camera. And if things were calming down for Lisa, everyone seemed reasonable at the wedding, couldn’t have that now could we? And what behavior would we base that on? Rinna versus Starr Jones on Celebrity Apprentice. Starr Jones had to go to NBC legal to get Rinna to stop harassing her after Rinna was off the show. Rinna versus Kim Richards. Rinna denied sending threatening texts to Kim AFTER the season, until Kim pulled out her phone, started to read the messages then Rinna had to admit it. Is that someone who would plant a story & jump on board with Lisa planted it just because she hates Lisa? Yes, that is. BTW Munchausen came into being when Rinna & Kyle went to lunch/dinner before that season began & discussed it. They both admitted it. After the season was over, of course.
Yes! Dorit and Rinna are the most at fault in all this mess.
@Kansas: Thank you for your common sense. Bottom line Kyle came charging into Lisa’s with no proof, as usual. Terrible these hags are so jealous that they want to destroy someone’s business and reputation. Wonder if Bethenny and Kandi would put up with this?
Agree and no they wouldn’t!
First, your comment regarding “nip” is funny and brilliant, you wonderful songwriter! You made me think about Lisa Rinna’s lies and one (I can’t narrow it down which one) when she gets confronted and says she can’t remember making the comment. Oh, right!! I think it was the Kim nearly dying comment. If she has nothing else going for her, Rinna is definitely sharp and shady and she certainly knows what she has said.
I hope LVP leaves. If she doesn’t, who is she going to film with? No one else is speaking to her. They would have to bring Camille back full time and Joyce (zzz). She sucks the air out of the room. Everyone says they will not watch if she goes. Maybe it will actually be a more interesting show if we didn’t have to go round and round with this every season.
If LVP doesn’t leave, knowing how she feels about these women, then we will all know what has seemed obvious from the start.
It’s so weird that LVP chose this topic to go so hard on when I’m sure there is so much more dirt she has on Dorit. Maybe the other dirt effects her “good friend” PK too much?
I believe her emotions were sky-high over the treatment of the dog. The other dirt is neither here nor there to her. She was angry about the dog being sent to a kill shelter! Her tenderness towards animals is real.
This show has made me feel stupid every time LVP does a dirty. I don’t understand the end game. I guess it’s good I’m not wired to understand.
My money’s with Lisa Rinna planting the Radar stories.
She’s been foaming at the mouth to have some against LVP so I agree.
@Aunti Velvet: Yes, Rinna knows the paparazzi by first name even. Kyle has this guy called the Ladysitter that works for E who leaks items. He was very helpful when famewhore Kyle took upon herself to be Paris Hilton spokesperson years ago.
While I don’t think LVP is above selling stories, I don’t think she did this one, which is deliciously ironic. I’m pretty sure Rinner knew all about #Puppygate before the Bahama’s and I’m pretty sure that her “Lisa told me to ring this number story” was a tell that SHE sold the story to Radar online to feck with LVP. Quite amusing if she is being hung for a crime that for once she didn’t commit.
Rinner has no real time for Dorit, but Dorit is no threat to the powers structure of RHOBH like LVP”s popularity is. Also, no one else has swans darling! (Which are quite apt as they are nasty hissy, bitey snakey things!)
All that said I like LVP and think she is winning this PR game because a) people are too stupid to see her machination or b) like me they do and they don’t care as its ridiculous to see grown women admit they are stupid enough to be manipulated or to be as self servingly boring as Erika is. Also LVP makes more money than the others for Bravo although as much as I don’t fancy the dog one.
Lisa and Ken got so angry at Kyle because they’d been caught red handed feeding the story to ROL and TMZ.
Why else would they be so angry?
Anyone who swears on their child’s life is lying. It’s such an obvious tell.
This is not a good look for them.
I like LVP on Vanderpump Rules. Notsomuch on RHOBH.
I agree. LVP is more comfortable on Vanderpump Rules because they are her employees not peers.
I also find it interesting that Ken screams to Kyle that she is not a friend. Does LVP even know what a good girl friend is?
Since Season 1 we’ve seen tons of Kyle’s girlfriends in real life on the show and at her parties. I don’t ever recall seeing LVP’s friends on this show. Only Mohamed and Dorit/PK.
To be fair, it would be easier for Kyle to have good girlfriends than Lisa. Kyle was a stay-at-home wife and mother with help in the home. She could join a tennis club, go to PTA lunches, join neighborhood play groups, etc. (In fact, Lisa Rinna said that’s how she knew Denise Richards: they were in the same neighborhood play group when their kids were little.)
Lisa has worked her entire life. She’s owned restaurants and bars since coming to California. So she would have employees rather than friends. Right now she has Pump, Sur, TomTom, Vanderpump Dogs.
In an effort to be efficient, Lisa had a gym built in her home, so she doesn’t even go out to a gym to workout, which is efficient but also eliminates another potential way she could have made friends.
Hi Sunshine,
Your points are fair arguments but even Bethenny Frankel, who’s hustled since she was very young and works the same if not more than LVP has close girl friends we’ve seen on RHONY over the years.
No. Being in the restaurant business your life is filled with people and it’s a hugely social occupation. Much more so than SAHM.
My family is 4th generation in the restaurant business, I know.
I always figured that’s why they built their utopia, Villa Rosa. To get away from people and relax. Not everyone has a zillion “friends.” And we never know which friends people have that don’t want to be on a reality-show-cam.
BH is awful. Every season is just some really lame ass drama. These women have nothing else going on.
Teddi is beyond irritating. Regardless of whether Lisa is stirring the pot (probably attempting to make this shitshow interesting), you are the one who took the bait, Teddi. You are the one engaged in petty gossip, instead of just saying NO, accountability coach.
Same with Lisa Rinna, and the other simple bitches who act like Lisa held them down, gave them a lying serum, and forced them to shit talk each other. I’m not Team LVP but I don’t understand what the big problem with her is, besides the fact that she has a whole separate franchise on the side and is getting richer and richer, and it’s just jealousy.
Lisa gave them all a storyline. I don’t know if she outright said to Teddi “Look, your life is boring. Why don’t you grab hold of this dog thing to get yourself screen time while keeping your husband and kids out of the limelight”, but the idea surely crossed Teddi’s mind.
Same with Lisa Rinna. Her managing her daughters fizzled out…not sure if the girls are still modeling or not. Her selling clothes on QVC barely got a mention this year. She has to be in a conflict with someone in order to get screen time.
Another thing that really bothered me was how Pandora is right there with the lies.
That says a lot about LVP.
Oh girl, they tell lots of lies.
Is it me? How and why? Aren’t they successful just being honest?
This is as bad as Big Brother for me trying to understand, lol.
I’m so bored of ROBH , these days I’m all about Mexican dynasties. Adam’s music career and weird relationship with his parents is what I get out of bed for
This is too funny and ironic, considering Adan doesn’t get out of bed for much! It cracks me up when he or his parents close the blinds so they can sleep longer:)
The dog crap is major boring. My husband has long considered BH his fave. He is about ready to give up on it as he did with OC years ago and Dallas from the beginning.
Unfortunately I have to disagree with Tamara’s opinion on LVP but we can disagree – I really don’t see how leaking the story benefits LVP at all, if nothing else it actually could have put a bad mark on the adoption center and its policies.
Plus, I would be very proud if my man defended me and I take to task any woman who claims they would have been outraged if their man didn’t back them up if they were becoming upset.
I adore Kens loyalty to Lisa, who doesn’t want someone to be in their corner?.
Zero interest in watching 5 women sitting around talking trash about another woman, its not a good look nor entertaining.
I cant get into mexican dynasties, had hopes for it but Im not seeing the oomph, what the hell am i not seeing that everyone else is?
I think she was rash in her decision to get the story out. Maybe because her attention was on the new Vegas bar ? she didn’t think it through. It sounds like Ken tried to stop it because it would look bad for VPD and his friendship with PK, but it was already out at that point.
Your not alone. I completely agree with you on your whole comment. I have tried 3 times to get into Mexican Dynasties. I finally gave up. Team LVP to the end
How are Rinna and Erika not manipulating Kyle into doing what they want? They are both so needy and power hungry; jealousy is so apparent. Teddi is ridiculous.
I love LVP. I love Ken’s protectiveness. Kyle needs to go on.
Honestly, I was worried that Ken was going to have a heart attack. He is 73 years old and does not look well, he dozes off and just seems shaky alot of the time to me. I just do not have a good feeling about his health..
God, I am so fucking sick of vanderpump and her bullshit. The stans are out in force and rabid… tearing down anyone who dare speak against their queen. Apparently the people who don’t drink the LVP coolaid are ugly, poor and jealous.
I honestly think the LVP stans should be studied.
Dear Vickie80!
There is a reason her name is Vandertrump! She shares same demographic as her namesake… the hipocracy is on a 11/10!
Vickie, I am just giving my RN assessment regarding Ken’s health appearance. I have been watching him all season watching him.
My comment wasn’t directed at you, in fact, I commented before reading the other comments. I’m talking about Twitter, Instagram and the like.
I am guessing Dorit herself never took the dog to the rescue place – she had some “employee” or someone she just paid out of pocket to take the dog to the shelter – she would never do it herself, I don’t think at least – she wouldn’t want to be exposed or someone from the kill shelter outing her.
Is anyone ever going to point out to LVP’s face that she makes her living selling people cows and pigs and chickens to eat, but for some reason she draws the line at dogs?
Thank you! I get that people love their pets, but I dont see what the point is of the US “condemning” meats other cultures choose to eat. Maybe dog is even more delicious than cow.
Well one of the biggest issues about the Yulin Dog Trade is they cook them alive in hot oil vats. It’s horrific torture as they’re cooked alive. To even think this is okay is beyond me.
You realize farms in the US do the same shit right? The animals are supposed to be properly stunned to knock them out, but many times that doesn’t happen the way it’s supposed to and the animals are thrown into scalding hot water while still alive. Farm workers also beat animals with hammers and other tools, use electric prods on them, and torture them in other ways. It’s pretty fucking hypocritical of the British mother Teresa to condemn Yulin and still serve cow, chicken, and pig at her restaurants. I get that it’s a step in the right direction and any progress for any animal is good, but if she really gave a shit about animals (especially when she’s got swans and ponies), her restaurants would serve vegan food. It’s funny that none of her menus even have a vegetarian option for an entree. She’s a fucking phony.
I pointed this out elsewhere and got roasted for it.
I cannot believe that you have not taken the time to realize what LVP is fighting for with regard to the Yulin Dog Festival. It’s not eating dog meat any more than eating cow meat that she objects to. It’s their joy of the torture of the animals at the Festival. Read about it before commenting about false facts. You act as if people who like a housewife that you don’t are somehow tainted. Well, some of us could judge you and others as ignorant and consider you tainted. I prefer to allow people personal choice. I’m not Trump, I’m not narcissistic. I respect other’s right to have their own opinions.
Mr. Ken Todd! What a lovely look for a man how loves all things”fluffy and pink!” What a proud moment! Luckily, Mr. Mauricio Umansky DOES respect fluffy things AND animals! …. You’re safe!
At the beginning of the season the promos regarding the dog stuff had giant letters saying “The real truth is even crazier!” or words to that effect. Has that come and gone, or is someone or something still to be “exposed”? And can we please be done with Dog Gate?
Your recaps are the best, and that timeline of LVP’s shenanigans is awesome. LVP’s games with the press, the leaks, playing both sides – it’s very british tabs, no? And now that she’s created a different niche with her animal activism (she’s on a rescue dog show on Hallmark channel now as well) Dorit made a true enemy of LVP by risking bad p.r. for Vanderpump Dogs. And, btw, LVP’s love and activism on behalf of fur babies seems a little too OTT to be true. A little bit bullshitty. There I said it.
For me, LVP is good t.v., but it’s understandable why the other ladies have the knives out for her, both because of LVP’s own past manipulations and also let’s face it this storyline keeps the focus off some of the other ladies’ own issues they don’t want on teevee. It’s all good, I’m here for all of it. Except for fake, histrionic pendeja Dorit. It’s odd to me that she chose to drop Lucy off at a shelter when she knew enough to give the first dog back to VPD.
That fight was awful, poor Kyle.
Lisa doesn’t bother me as much as she does a lot of people here. I will say that I love how Ken is supportive of Lisa no matter what. He is at the ready to defend his woman and I find that endearing. Hopefully I won’t get attacked for saying that. I just think it’s great to know you will always have at least one person on your side, regardless of what you do. That probably makes Lisa feel safe in doing whatever it is she wants to do.
I don’t think she has true friendships so losing Kyle won’t hurt too much. She loves her family and that’s enough for her. If you have a soldier like Ken on your side, you’re set!
Not really feeling this season although I do like most of the ladies. Most of the drama is super petty and uninteresting and I find Dorit to be more loathsome than Lisa. Her fake accent hasn’t grown on me and I find her shady. Maybe that’s why Lisa setting Dorit up doesn’t rile me up.
I’d like to see more of kooky Denise. She’s fun and original and likeable and real.
I didn’t see that Ken was out of line either, it’s like Yolanda don’t point at me all over again. Was he super in her face? I don’t think so, it was an odd camera angle.
Nope, Kyle handled that so badly and for the first time we actually saw LVP angry [through the botox and fillers]. I’ve often wondered by she doesn’t react with half the shit Kyle has done to her, she always stumbles. Is this how she really is and she tries to be cooler on TV? I’d be pissed if a friend did that to me and want my husband to back me.
Kyle’s no friend.
How did she become friends with Brandi? Hated Dorit last year, now’s her BFF. Something happened in the off season for that turn around. It’s like she slides up and gets in their ear to stoke the discord…. how does Teddi know of LVP’s history, that it works for her so well?
Kyle has had jabs a LVP since season 2 and that crap with Taylor. She is not ride or die. She plays both sides and conveniently gets Faye in to do her dirty work. Going back to season 1 and the talking heads narrative, you can see it was meant to be a story about her and her friends, emphasis on the her. She became a bit player rather the the headline act. It took her six seasons [looking at my iTune covers] to be front and centre.
Season 3 when Kim was begging her to see her, that’s when she lost me. It was glitz and glam before the fam … and I ain’t a Kim fan.
I am looking at that Rinna glass smash differently though – at the time I thought whoa that’s a bit hot but then the Star Jones stuff, the texts to Kim… Rinna plots. Rinna tantrums. Rinna plants seeds. Dorit’s interview the other day where she proclaims to always show up because she’s a professional… that’s a Rinna -ism and PS Dorit, you’re not a professional actress. You’re a faux swimmer designer on a reality tv show hiding massive amounts of debt. Why they are so hell bent on breaking the fourth wall is beyond me.
PS PK did it. PK is an agent. You think he doesn’t know how to get stuff in the tabloids? Please. His reaction was too calm, too pointed. He didn’t look shocked and I know this isn’t a fly on the wall reality show but please, LVP ain’t the only English person and they way they all like to impersonate her, Rinna quite badly, anyone could have written the leak – it is all way too obvious.
At this point, I don’t care what lvl did because there’s no hard facts, just women saying “she made me do it”… I mean don’t we all learn about peer pressure in high school? Clearly they ain’t working with much if another human can convince them to “out stuff”.
Spot on!
So so true everything you said ?
The joke is on all the women at lunch who have nothing better to talk about than Lisa Vanderpump. They continue discussing drama involving Lisa Vanderpump, then hopefully no one discusses their real life drama. You better believe that none of those ladies want anyone to take a look under the hood where the secrets of troubled marriages, misbegotten business deals,messy endings to love affairs, estranged family members, neglected family and children, loveless relationships, overspending, schemes near a kin to scams, missing things deeply hidden, the real fakery exposed. No you can keep people out of your not so fault free life by launching a full scale attack on someone and isolating that person from the rest of the group. All eyes on Lisa Vanderpump, so maybe no one will scrutinize my life. Looks like Lisa Vanderpump’’s response to this is to open more businesses, have her name in lights at Caesars, have 2 shows, maybe more, if LVP is so awful, why is she doing so well.?
I think the rest of the ladies need the get a life, they are freakishly obsessed with LVP.
I for one am happy we’ve had the showdown already – I was worried this would drag out all season! Can we please get back to other story lines and fancy trips now??
I, for one, love LVP. I’m not blind to her shenanigans. I just accept her. Are all these ladies so stupid that they “unwittingly” do her dirty work? If they also know her game, why in the world do they always go along with it and then claim they were used? Really??!! Then they are idiots.
Can’t stand Dorit or Rinna. Erika is ridiculous. Bring back Camille full time!
I cannot take one more episode about this dog crap. This used to be one of my favorites, but this season so far is a complete bore. The NY ladies would have dragged this out for one episode, confronting the offender to their face and get over it.
Love RHONY!!
I think we’re in luck because this was the last of the puppy gate ridiculousness and the season will now move forward and improve (fingers crossed).
I completely agree about RHONY! They’ve done more in their first few episodes than Beverly Hills has done in their first 8.
You know what?…………..You’re right!
It was the shelter that called Radar Online. They recognized Dorit. They scanned the dog and found the chip and knew it was a Vanderpup. They knew it was a chihuahua mix because they are familiar with dog breeds. $500 can go a long way at an animal shelter
Thing is, and after reading your Blind Item TT, whilst only a small percentage of viewers are represented on socials and blogs the over all reaction is in LVP’s favour. Surely production and Bravo are a bit nervous about what’s to come? Maybe they want to move us OG viewers on because I can’t with the new ladies – the new two on OC – yawn, on NJ – blurgh. The only successful newbies have been Dorinada, the Tres Amigas who got divorced… Shanon, ummm Lisa Rinna [so not a fan] and that’s about it. For BH to be successful they’ll need a name. I just don’t see how this franchise resonates with the 20 – 30 demographic – that’s stuff like Pump Rules right? This stuff is like a soap opera and how many years has Elieen been working on those? I’ll be surprised if LVP doesn’t comeback, and she would to be vindicated!
With all the outrage on socials and blog, I think it could be Rinna or Dorit or Teddi that gets voted off the island.
And Sackem Ken was totally out of line he is a filthy low life abusing scum. The Vanderpump Todds are really nasty pieces of work and their true colours were revealed in that segment. Tamara has called it 100 percent right on her observation of that scum pair so take off the rose tinted spectacles. Lisa is a vile manipulating hag who has NO REAL FRIENDS she likes to control people. I don’t care if I never watch her again so good riddance to bad rubbish if she goes. And her house looks old fashioned now compared to Kyle’s Manor and style. Lisa’s topless dresses and hideous old fashioned statement jewellery plus hookers shoes just reveal her for the slapper she is. Give her a fag (cigarette) in the corner of her gob and she is like a tired old 70’s Brummie barmaid.
But tell me how you really feel….
Oh Wow! I would be a bit taken a back with the language if it wasnt so spot on. Good on you!
Dorit deserved to be called out for what she did. I don’t know if LVP gave them the story or Sessa did or the shelter did–it really doesn’t matter. The real bad thing is what Dorit did, and now she is acting like the aggrieved victim. And Rinna is the plotter here–she steps in at every point to plant the idea that LVP is the bad one and to stir them up against LVP. Rinna’s jealousy of LVP is palpable. I am very sad to see LVP and Kyle fight like that.
I’m not going to want to watch a RHOBH with Dorit, Rinna, and Erika but without Kyle and LVP as friends. (Teddi is bland, and I’m still not sure what I think of Denise.) Production is making a big mistake if they stick with Dorit, Rinna, and Erika over LVP.
It has been pointed out somewhere that that whole creatures line was not in the Radar Online article and it was called Vanderpump Pets not Vanderpump Dogs. And apparently there was a magic source at the Vander/Todds who says the fight was scarier in real life and that Kyle has always had a soft spot of Lisa and that the women rallied around her as she “pondered” her moves or something. Hmmm and yet, and yet leaking stories to sully one’s reputation is horrible. Humans are bloody interesting things aren’t they? I’m on no one’s side per se – I’m a viewer who finds this so freaking fascinating.
Am I the only one who thought it spoke VOLUMES when Lisa exclaimed “I don’t care about a fucking dog” or something to that effect and then had to quickly reel it in, as that seems to be the ONLY bit of her facade that is still somewhat in tact?
I have long thought she enjoyed the attention being an “animal activist” brings much more than she actually cares about animals. My friends and I have even joked that she is Cruella DeVille. I don’t think she’s abusing animals, don’t get me wrong, but the whole put-upon bit with the dogs for the last however many seasons has been eyeroll-worthy.
Not to mention, most if not all of the dogs in her “shelter” are purebred and/or handbag type dogs that would have been quickly adopted in any event. You won’t ever catch a mangy mutt or “ugly” dog in that store.
Yes J you are calling it 100 percent right and her true colours in her rage showed through. She is naught but an okd “fish wife” as we say here in the North of England and that comnent about the “effing dog” speaks volumes on this “faker”
I noticed LVP’s comment about the *f*ing dog too! Our patron saint of dog rescue has a pretty low opinion of poor little Lulu. She was referring directly to Lulu. Ugh! Very telling! She actually had perfect cause to hang Dorit and PK out to dry, why she chose to hide behind leaking stories and setting people up to leak is ridiculous. What do the Kemsleys have on the Todds? We know the Kemsleys are grifters, what is LVP protecting?
I am soooooo curious. I have heard some dirt on Vandertrumps past(from former contacts who have worked with them in London, not Cedric LOL) and PK and Dorit must know where the bodies are burried. The question is whether or not they will go there… I feel like their dirty laundry and financial troubles and alleged sceaming, puts them in a position where there is nothing left to loose in regards to what Vandertrump possibly has on them.And the dissolve of that friendship, much more than Vandertrump and Splits Richards, seems to be able to uncover some of the Vandertrump past…
I completely feel you J! I have that sick Neverland feeling whenever I see the Vandertrump residence. I have dogs myself. I would never have more than 10 animals who needs care and affection if I “was the busiest woman I knew”. It seems very Paris Hilton’esque. It is more for the looks and decor than the actual connection with another soul of an animal. You dont need a circus for that. Swans who are wild animals and are very territorial, are at the entrance? But why? It gives them stress and them having cut their wings so they cant fly and live as they were meant to is ANIMAL CRUELTY FROM VANDERTRUMP. For her own amusement and status orientation. I could go on and on. It reminds me of the queen of hearts in Alice in Wonderland using the flamingos as Croquet mallets…. Oh well at least she was home with her animals while she was sceaming her next move now that she burned her bridges with the rest of the cast.
I am living for your comments!
Uhhh thanks! I live for this site and especially the housewives recaps! It is my guilty pleasure and the best time to grab a naughty snack in the shade of Tamara
I am Team Giggy
SILLY, SILLY, Sillies… When LVP swore on the lives, she had her PINKIES CROSSED! So it doesn’t count!
Before I read the EXCELLENT “Here Is How LVP Used The New Housewives in The First Six Seasons,” post, I was ALL IN with LVP. I STILL do not believe she is EVIL. But after learning how these HW shows work, I do believe that LVP wants to CONTROL the storyline every season. By putting herself off-center, BUT very involved, in every one of these scuffles — Munchausen, Russell as abuser, tabloids, etc. — she can direct the drama from the side. Therefore, not “causing” the drama, but remaining relevant.
Of ALL of the seasons for it to backfire, I am SO PO’d that it is THIS season. Because it is making her look conniving and, by contrast, inspiring sympathy for Dorit. I still find it hard to believe that NOTHING has been said about Dorit’s swimming pool chase and lawsuit.
So if I told you the person who actually leaked the storys was dorit’s husband and he did it to get revenge for the puppy who bit him because he’s the one who actually found the family he’s dumping it on and his wife got the backlash and he’s petty and is pissed at his wife and Lisa what would u said
I think most of us would say we are quite aware that Dorit and Paul are both despicable people just like Lisa and Ken.
Oh another site someone suggested that at the reunion, have a ROL person there and have each of the girls give permission to ROL to reveal if they or a family member were the source. I would have to wonder if they all would. It certainly would be a simple thing to clear their name.
Who and or what is this “ROL” you speak of? I’m old so please define.
I’m going to guess whatever or whoever “ROL” is, it won’t be invited to the reunion.
ROL is the gossip site Radar Online – that’s where LVP has been accused of selling stories to.
At the risk of sounding like a LVP fan, I’m not a fan of this entire story line/season arc. It’s boring and the resulting rampant bad acting isn’t entertaining.
Dorit should have returned the dog, per the contract. The rest is just catty BS.
My phone just did all these updates, Instagram being one them. I’m thinking of trying it just to follow TT.
