Eileen Davidson Regrets Her “Hostage Situation” Friendship With Lisa Vanderpump After #RHOBH Blowout!

Eileen Davidson is intent on considering herself the peacemaker this season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This week, Erika Girardi compared Lisa Vanderpump to a sniper, shooting from the side and leaving no fingerprints. But I’m wondering if Eileen isn’t the stealthy sniper. After all, she’s the one who told Lisa Rinna about Yolanda Hadid calling her bipolar.

“Originally, I brought up Yolanda’s “bi-polar” comment (with Yolanda’s blessing, by the way) in an attempt to explain to Lisa R. how Yolanda still felt about everything.”

At least she recognizes Yolanda’s hypocrisy. 

“By Yolanda saying “she has too much class” to accuse Lisa R. of being bi-polar, she’s putting it out to the universe just as much as Lisa R. did about the Munchausen’s. After all of this, maybe now we can just call it a draw?”

But Eileen isn’t as understanding when Kathryn Edwards tells tales out of school about Erika Girardi.

“I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I was thrown for a loop watching the whole Erika and Kathryn situation unfold. The two of them had a lovely time at lunch. It looked like Kathryn was sincerely trying to get to know Erika. Erika divulged a lot of personal information about her grandmother’s death and her trust issues with women. Then she told Kathryn that Lisa V. likes to move things to her advantage from the sidelines, giving what she witnessed between Lisa V. and me in the Hamptons as one example.”

Erika may have given that as an example (did she? I don’t remember!), but it’s clear that Erika’s dislike of LVP has nothing to do with Eileen and everything to do with Yolanda. But Eileen is determined to believe she’s the reason for Erika’s feeling some kind of way about Vanderpump.

“To me, the Hamptons situation made perfect sense, and it turned out I was right. As I said in this episode, it’s not about getting an apology anymore. It stopped being about that when I saw how Lisa V. dismissed my feelings when I initially told her I was uncomfortable. She acted like I was attacking her…”

Eileen, honey, let me break it down for you. You had an affair with your current husband. Lisa asked you a few questions about it, and maybe they were intrusive, but you sat there and answered them like you were on a Barbara Walters Special. Later, after you marinated in it, you decided your feelings were hurt. You took it to LVP. She apologized—not to your satisfaction—but she did. Now let. It. Go. And stop boring us with your residual guilt. Go see your spiritual advisor for that kind of shit.

“I’m not a masochist (well, not completely anyway). At a certain point it was obvious I wasn’t getting anywhere. I told Lisa V. I’d let it go and I was ready to move on. After all, it was Lisa V. who said, “Maybe we will never get each other.” But once I’d dropped it, that’s when she wanted to talk about it! She accused me of sweeping everything under the rug (this from the woman who, 10 minutes prior, talked about ponies to evade the topic).”

I think LVP just wanted to put it to bed once and for all. Granted, she got pretty snippy about it, but can you blame her?

“Then she wasn’t satisfied with my answer, she tried to make me quantify “how good” I was. It’s ridiculous and hypocritical that she had to be “really f—ing good to move on,” when all I’d been trying to do is find resolution the whole time myself. I can only surmise that resolution has to be solely on HER terms. Controlling much? Even worse than that, she implied that I was being “petty.”

I agree. Eileen is being petty. And worse, boring.

“My thoughts, feelings, and resolution are not valid to Lisa V. But her own resolution and opinion are so important that she has to wag her finger at me to get me to tell her what she wants to hear. That is not friendship. That is a hostage situation.”

Wow, okay. Really? A hostage situation. Did LVP tie you up and force you to eat her chicken and look at her dumb, but adorable, miniature horses? Eileen, you are officially out of bounds, and I wash my hands of you.

So what’s your take on Eileen’s malfunction? Do you side with her or, like me, are you over this whole ‘you don’t respect my feelings’ crap?
