Lisa Vanderpump Feels No Topic Is Off Limits & Denies Kyle’s Hint She’s Hiding Secrets! #RHOBH
There are many things I love about Queen Bee, Lisa Vanderpump: her glamor, her over the top lifestyle, the accent, and that zoo she’s recreated at Villa Rosa. But I also believe that deep down, she has a strong streak of compassion, coupled with common sense. This week, on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she’s stunned to hear that Kim Richards has been arrested for shoplifting, and thinks the whole thing should have been handled with more tact.
“I always felt defensive of Kim’s actions. It was one I draw from experience, my personal experience of dealing with the public for years…so let’s say, hypothetically, somebody I recognized and knew to be challenged with addiction tried to leave without paying the bill in my restaurant, possibly the last thing I would do would be to call the police. It would be to gently, diplomatically remove them from situation, realizing their judgment was altered, not to humiliate them with dire consequences.”
But by the same token, she’s not letting Kim off the hook.
“In this forum when these scenarios come up for discussion between us, you take the benefits and deal with the consequences, we made our business your business when we boarded the train to reality television!”
So she’s not letting Kyle Richards get away with her whining about keeping family matters private either.
“There have been a plethora of opportunities since I was launched into this forum…I have embraced and enjoyed every minute…yes, it was my choice to enter this arena, as it was Kim’s when we all signed up many years ago. When Kim was a scandalous headline and Kyle initiated the subject drawing her name into the conversation, of course we should be at liberty to comment on it.”
Kyle proved this week that she and Kim aren’t that different. When backed into a corner, Kyle intimates that Lisa has her own dirty little secrets. With friends like that…
“I didn’t initiate the subject for sure and I don’t quite understand the hint that I had secrets to hide, or subjects that are off limits. I think for the most part Ken and I have been incredibly transparent, if I had skeletons I think you would know about them by now.”
When Lisa set off to the Hamptons, she never thought she’d encounter Kyle at her meanest, nor did she think the women would abandon her at the motel.
“I was a little disappointed when I arrived to be greeted with a scribbled note that they had left. Kyle notably commented that I would like to be in the house too, maybe so, but life is invariably dependent on the decisions you make in the moment and I knew for me to leave would be insulting to all who had hosted us. I wasn’t mad at them, but it would’ve been more considerate to have waited until I arrived, methinks!”
When it comes to Yolanda Foster, Lisa is shocked to see the surgically removed implant.
“Seeing the bloody, leaking mounds turned my stomach, but it was somewhat encouraging to think that this has to be somewhat responsible for her struggle. I see now as we witness actions and statements she has made regarding Lyme disease, a two foot tape worm, silicone leakage, mercury poisoning — couple that with hormonal challenges women are dealt with at this age, it has to be a melting pot of issues.”
When Erika calls LVP a diva, she doesn’t take offense.
“Erika calling me diva was a cute little jab and I embraced it and knew it was innocuous and playful.”
So what’s coming up this season?
“As this story unfolds and contentious subjects arise, there are a myriad of opinions from all of us that make this domain a playground for controversy… For us all to be unanimous, to agree and live harmoniously sounds wonderful, but not quite so interesting!”
All right, kittens, whose side are you on—Kyle or LVP? What possible secrets could Kyle be talking about?
