While I was taking a few days off for some much needed R & R this weekend, it seems that news broke about another lawsuit against Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd. These two seem to always have a half dozen or so lawsuits going on at any given time.
The latest filing involves their decision to FINALLY shut down Villa Blanca. They had been trying to unload that business for years and the pandemic provided them with the perfect excuse. Tamara Tattles exclusively reported on the closing of Villa Blanca here. At the time of the closing LVP claimed that the lease with the owners was coming to an end. She had hoped to renegotiate the lease due to the pandemic making it impossible to meet the monthly rent but claimed the owners were not interested. She also said she might reopen it at another location in the future and I’m quite sure that was a lie. Villa Blanca was deeply in debt from all the many lawsuits they lost to mistreated employees. In one of the lawsuits LVP and Ken were found personally liable when the restaurant itself didn’t have enough insurance money to pay the settlement. So it that part of her statement wasn’t true, the rest of it is suspect.
Breach of Lease and Breach of Guaranty
And sure enough, the property owner is now saying they failed to meet the obligations of their lease. The official defendant’s on the lawsuit are Blanca Investments LLC and Kenneth Todd. I don’t think Lisa is an official defendant. They shut down Villa Blanca at the very beginning of July. The Blast is reporting that the landlord is owed $80,000 for “October’s rent” but I have a feeling that amount may be for more than just October. In total they are being sued for $80.236.86 as well as an additional $80,236.86 damages. Although, I believe restaurant owners had a six month grace period from March to pay their rent before facing eviction. So that would have been through September. Either way they will have to pay it eventuallhy.
Ken has apparently claimed that he had a $40,000 security deposit but the landlord is claiming to have no knowledge of that. That seems like something that Ken could easily prove. Anyway, this is at least the third lawsuit of 2020 for Ken and LVP. Previously, SUR employees sued for issues with their wages and working conditions.
I can only imagine being an attorney for Ken and LVP is a really lucrative gig to have.
It amazes me that even now, people still insist that Lisa Vanderpump can do no wrong, even after all this documented evidence of all this shit she and Ken have pulled.
I’m sure Lisa and her PR team will come up with more ridiculous bullshit excuses to explain it away. And when all else fails, she’ll post more pics of the pups to try to make people forget any of this ever happened.
If nothing else, the Vanderpumps are masters at publicity and propaganda.
I used to be one of those who saw no wrong in LVP, until TT meticulously and thoroughly opened my eyes.
Oh dahhhhling don’t you know everything Pinky and Todd do has a justifiable excuse??? Lmao Ugh! She has more excuses than Jimmy Carter has liver spots. I read one time she wanted to be called Pinky on the show, that it’s what Ken called her. I don’t know if it’s true. I would not doubt it the way she always told the others they had on her color (pink), or couldn’t wear something because it was her color. She always said it jokingly (British humor), but said it fairly often over her time on the show.
It is totally true, but BRAVO wouldn’t do it because they thought it was ridiculous and not her name.
I guess BRAVO is used the Real Housewives asking for stupid and outrageous things.
Yes, Lisa and her husbands are liars and racist. Lisa never allows her son to show his black girlfriend on the show. By Felicia, I glad you were exposed. I believe that Lisa and brandy had sex. Really talk!
So true – Ken and Lisa don’t pay their bills, plus they use and discard people on a regular basis,
It’s so fun to watch the facade crack.
If Ken can’t prove that he paid a $40,000 deposit, it’s because there were shady dealings going on. From either or both sides.
LVP is complete trash and if Momma Joyce’s streets are to be believed broke! The cameras can’t roll fast enough on Vanderpump Rules so Lisa and Ken can settle some of their bad debts. They are complete scum. Lisa left her employees to be starve and be put out on the streets while she lived like the queen she wishes she was at the heavily mortgaged Villa Rosa. TT is doing the Lord’s work exposing these fraudsters for the POS that they are!
Word!……
Most people who have as many businesses as Ken and Lisa will as always have something going on that makes having an atty in hand needed.
Does not mean anyone is doing anything illegal just business .
The judges seem to find that what they do is illegal. Perhaps if they were allowed to bring the swans and ponies into the courtroom they would feel more like you do.
Never been an LVP fan and proud of it!
Her and Todd have always been shady!
LVP karma never loses an address. Both she & Ken are going back to the valley. From its debut with Schena getting thrown towards the wolf Brandi Glanville to its end with LVP defensively and wholeheartedly allowing homophobic speech transgender shaming & glaringly racist comments from her staff to be featured in her restaurants& on her show. ( all of whom she has never heard utter a single word about or against any minorities! Are you kidding me ? LVP you are their boss on camera & off & they are going to be keep those prejudices to themselves & deep undercover until they slip & it’s all over the media. ) LVP British humour meet American accountability.
After you default on restaurant rent, landlords can go after you personally.
Because restaurants have such a high rate of failure, the rules are different.
I burnt my lip on this tea! I so needed it TT! I’m lmao and it has turned my day around. Thank you!
It’s particularly funny after a LVP called for the other’s to expose their husbands lawsuits.
