I know nothing about Vanderpump Rules, but just looking at Reddit comments for this made me filled with joy: “People that have not watched all the seasons and all the episodes don’t really know all the layers going on in this scandal. They are looking at just the affair happened. Not that it was going on for a year or more. How Debbie Desperado was preaching at Lala, James, Katie, Oliver, Charlie, us on national television for months.. while she was actually doing Tom at the same time. It was demented.. she really is the most stupid demon.”
Anyways, Vanderpump Rules has been on Bravo for eleven years and I’ve never seen an episode. If you haven’t either, it’s the first spin-off from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and is all about Lisa Vanderpump and the staff of her West Hollywood restaurants SUR (Sexy Unique Restaurant) Restaurant & Lounge — yes, she has restaurant twice in the name — as well as Pump Restaurant and Tom Tom Restaurant & Bar.
According to this documentary, the show was about to be cancelled before cast members Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix broke up after Madix found out Sandoval had been having an affair with Raquel Leviss, all of which was filmed for the show. On March 7, Leviss filed a temporary restraining order against another member of the cast, Scheana Shay, alleging that she had punched her after learning of the affair. During the show’s reunion, Shay and Leviss had to be kept 100 yards of one other.
Vulture said, “The stakes of this drama feel higher than those of any other reality-TV couple, and these people, whom we’ve followed with hungry, shallow interest, are acting intensely in character.”
Man, these guys had secret Instagram love symbols. What am I missing not watching this? I mean, this would totally cut into my watching of movies no one cares about. It’s good that I can at least watch this and get it all in one place, even if I have to hear TMZ people scream at one another.
You can watch this on Tubi.
