Lisa Vanderpump Addresses Feud Rumors with Ariana Madix Amid Misogyny Allegations
During a recent podcast episode, Lisa Vanderpump discussed various aspects of ‘Vanderpump Rules,‘ including its hiatus.
Regarding rumors of tension between Ariana and herself, Lisa clarified, “No, I’m definitely not on Team Tom. I’m on Team Vanderpump. I’m on Team Mediator.”
Fans of ‘Vanderpump Rules‘ have been vocal about their perceptions of Lisa Vanderpump’s treatment of male versus female cast members, prompting discussions about gender bias. Lisa’s tendency to defend male stars over female ones has not gone unnoticed among viewers.
Fans voiced their criticisms of Lisa, stating, “Lisa always will stick up for the men,” “Lisa is okay with men treating women bad it seems like,” and questioning, “Lisa, why do you continue to stick up for the men?”
Jax Taylor, a Vanderpump Rules alum, often skirted consequences for his actions, which fans and Katie Maloney have criticized. Lisa and Jax have even joked about his past behavior, including incidents involving her restaurants.
Despite positioning herself as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, Lisa faced scrutiny for her defense of Jax and Brittany Cartwright during controversies, including one involving a homophobic pastor. She notably filled in for Jax’s mother at their wedding, further blurring lines between her personal and professional relationships with the cast.
While Lisa dismissively reacted to being called James Kennedy’s “mother figure,” she has played a significant role in his life akin to a parental figure, even amid controversies.
Despite concerns raised by others about his conduct, Lisa has maintained her support for James, often intervening on his behalf within the show’s dynamics.
James Kennedy’s brief sidelining at SUR due to body-shaming allegations from Katie Maloney was swiftly followed by his return to DJ at PUMP, a decision that drew criticism from Kristen Doute, who has since leveled accusations against him.
Some fans perceive Lisa’s treatment of Kristen as harsher compared to others on the show.
Vanderpump’s defense of Tom Sandoval, particularly after the ‘Scandoval‘ incident, has also sparked controversy.
Her reaction to criticism from Lala Kent, who described Sandoval as “dangerous” and likened him to Randall Emmett, highlighted ongoing tensions within the cast.
Amidst these controversies, Lisa also faced backlash for her defense of Oliver Saunders.
Oliver’s cheating scandal and subsequent social media drama were subjects of heated discussion during the show’s reunion, where Lisa’s support for him was questioned despite accusations from his estranged wife.
