Lisa Vanderpump Plays Defense

Buckle up, it's going to be a rollercoaster reunion.

January 27, 2012

Lisa Vanderpump of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa Vanderpump is usually one to roll with the punches. Usually. "I spent most of the reunion, unfortunately, not in tears, but in defense mode," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star confides to NBCUniversal Direct.

So what turned her trademark witty-go-jokester mood so sour? "I find it really difficult. It's quite hard when you go through a show and you're kind of in your own world, which I was very much. I was having fun and working really hard. But when you see things aired and you see things being said, it's kind of upsetting," Lisa says. "So, I felt I was in defense mode for a lot of it."

In a preview of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' whopping three-part reunion, Team Pump is shown adamantly defending her rep. "I've never sold a story in my life and I won’t be accused of that," she shouts across the couches to her former neighbor, who snaps back, "I don't believe that for a minute."

Well, at least Lisa looked good while springing to her own defense. "I just saw @chrismakowsky dress on @lisavanderpump at the #RHOBH reunion. Ravishing, simply ravishing!!!" the designer tweeted. "yep but a suit of armor would've been better," Pinky quipped back.
 
Watch the ladies rehash all of this season's drama beginning with part one of the reunion, airing Monday, January 30.

Lisa, you are my favorite of the housewives.....successful, beautiful, honest, smart and independent. Taylor, Kyle & Kim can go for all I care. Cannot stand Kim Richards. Keep doing what you're doing. You're great

Is part 2 of the reunion going to be on iTunes. It wasn't there as of this morning.

Love, love the Vanderpumps. Kind of shocked by the tone of the reunion show because you were gracious, kind and I enjoyed watching you. Wish you had your own show. I would watch it.

Lisa, you are a class act as always. adrienne & kyle are jealous, vicious people. I hope we see more of you with different castmates.

Hang in there Lisa. Always remember you have lots of fans, real friends and a wonderful family that love and support you.

Why doesn't Andy show who really made the comment about Kyle wanting attention. Lisa, we in our household felt so bad for you, and there was Taylor sitting with that smirk on her face. We love you Lisa. You need better friends then the ones you thought you had.

Lisa, I dont watch the housewives of beverly hills much but the few times I have...I have enjoyed you the most because I have noticed that you are a classy and beautiful woman who has so much grace and elegance....
hang in there

I think that your sense of humor which I adore is lost on the other ladies... they are so busy defending themselves by blaming others that they are ready to pounce.... people in glass houses should not throw stones

With friends like these who needs enemies?

you're sweet crystal candi with a heart of gold ; -)

Lisa - I love your sense of humor and if your so called 'friends' can't understand it then save it for the friends who can. You were amazing on the show when the women who acted like middle school girls verbally attacked you. What a breath of fresh air Camille has been this season.

Lisa, I hope these girls are not the beat friends you have!
Adrienne and Kyle are too insecure to be friend to someone like you! I hope these girls did not upset you too much. They are insignificant and stupid. Their behavior was disgusting.
They're so not worthy to be in the same room with you!,,,,!!!

When did these women become gossip believing high school students. Adrienne really, you did not have even a single leg to stand on with anything you said and Kyle, your a great friend to turn like that. Too bad for you two Lisa acted with class through everything. That from Adrienne was a shock, but pretty expected from Kyle. She is not a nice person at all and thinks far to highly of herself.

I am so confused with the Lisa Bashing! What happened, did this truly start because Adrienne took gossip and lies as the truth? It was sad to see her behave in such a high school manner and create that scene based off of rumors and lies. A far as the bridal shower, get over it. They chose a family friend that was Pandora's god father and much longer family friend. This was their choice as to where they chose to have this party. I do not understand why this would cause such a problem. Grow up a bit Adrienne. You were very disappointing this season. As far as Kyle, she has always been very self centered. Although mean I believe she is desperate for attention. Everywhere she goes she has to try to take the attention from everyone. She has never behaved as a nice person or true friend and then becomes upset because people think she is someone else. Kyle people are not making decisions base off of what your cast members are saying about you. It is because your behavior is appalling, you do not behave like a nice person or a true or honest person. You are constantly mean, always making faces such as rolling you eyes or that face you get when you think someone else is being showed up. You are the mean girl and cannot continue to act as though you are not. You continue to show your true colors, first with Camille who did not deserve any of the mean spirited drama you caused for her last year and now by turning on your "best friend" Lisa. Lisa and Camiile handled themselves with dignity against your attacks. I am sorry that you had everyone turn on you with only false allegations, but you did handle yourself with class and dignity. Continue with your witty sence of humor because you are funny and nothing you have said called for the attack you received. These girls talk about how strong they are and then take offense to silly jokes that are not mean in nature....hmmm, .don't see strong women only immature high schools girls. So sad.

Lisa,

After watching last night's episode I must say you handled herself with grace.

I think the other wives do not understand what it is to be a lady - Lisa you are an example of what women should act like; rather than the shooting off of the mouth which seems to be what the other gals do best.

Lisa, you are my favorite! Thanks for setting the example you do, but I know deep inside, how hurt and disappointed you must be.

Patricia

Hang in there Lisa. I know that you have a a REAL life away from RHOBH, and honest, lasting friendships outside of the "circle" on BH. What I watched with amusement on the first reunion show was jealousy and vitriol from a few women who can't stand the heat.

What I have admired about you from the start is your humor, and the sense that you have learned through the years to be as tough on yourself as you are on your acquaintaces. Kyle is not your buddy, and sadly your relationship with Adriene will not be the same.

Lisa, you are now and always have been a class act. You can tell how true you are to your friends by the way everyone either loves you or is jealous towards you. You can hold you head up high and be proud of the woman you are!!! I watched some of the ladies faces when Adrienne made the commet about you selling stories to the magazines or radar on line is absolutely ridiculous!! It is obvious that you can hold your head high, after everything that Cedrick did to you and you nor your hubby bad mouth him, when you have every right to!!!
You can tell what kind of a person you are by the way your kids love you so much!!The wedding was beautiful, you looked beautiful and of coarse your daughter and Jason make such a beautiful couple. Your hubby is a beautiful man. Being married thatt many yrs in Beverly Hills is wonderful. I give you alot of credit. Hold your head up high...I can't wait to see what the other parts of the reunion looks like. I hope they don't make fools of themselves and try to throw you under the bus, you don't deserve to be treated poorly at all.

In the dictonary under class it says "SEE LISA"

You Rock Lady!

Lisa,
It is obvious that all of your so called "friends" are turning on you because of your popularity with viewers. I have never been a Kyle fan and now the rest of the country sees her for what she really is. How ridiculous Adriane is to be offended by the shoe comment but then turns around and accuses you of selling stories which she has no proof of. The Bernie issue is embarrassing and ridiculous as well. Keep Calm and Carry On Girl! We love you because you’re a class act!

How remarkable it was to see Adrienne declare that she would hope that you both could move forward in your "friendship" after stabbing you in the back with her unsubstantiated allegations. Et tu, Brute.

Lisa you are a class act and I get and love your sense of humor. I'm sorry you had to endure all that nastiness on the reunion. You and your family are the best part of the show and I sure hope to watch you all next season. Best wishes to you!

Team Lissa, and Brandi,Camille.

Lissa you are Beverly Hills, we love you, the rest are losser Adrienne she look like a man, she looks soo stress out. Kyle she is crazy for attention, if there is a show she going to be in it will never watched,,,, sorry,

Lisa wishing you the best, in whatever you do... God bless you...

Loved the wedding Pandora looks beautiful.

Lisa
I absolutely adore you. I think you are fantastic and by far my favorite housewives ( next to Bethany). You are funny, classy and you tell it like it is without being cruel. I dont understand whats ghe ladies issues with you. I hate to use the word jealousy because jealousy is not always the case but it sure seems so in this case. Keep being you, I aspire to be the woman you are one day

Xoxo

patriciad13 - I think they are scrutinized, and if the one reading doesn't agree with you, it doesn't get posted. 8 out of 10 of mine never show.

Anyway - Lisa - you're fun to watch, you and your family are a breath of fresh air, BUTTTTTT, (you knew this was coming, no?) - you firmly believe you're right ALL THE TIME!! Sometimes you're actually wrong!! I don't know why Adrienne got so bent out of shape, but all in all, she's the LAST one you should have a running issue with. Seriously, lose Kyle - if you don't soon, you'll wish you did. Taylor.... well, walk away slowly..... the others are neither here nor there as far as your life is concerned.
By the way -- I love animals as much as the next guy, but if your host or hostess doesn't want your dog drinking from their glasses AT THE TABLE, then don't have your dog drinking from the glasses at the table. Really - is that really hard for you to understand? So, if Adrianne wanted to help a street person, it would be ok for her to bring him/her to a dinner at your house and tell him/her to be at home?

Lisa,
I feel so bad for you at the reunion, and I have not even seen it yet! What in the world is wrong with Adrienne? I can see why you and Ken moved, she had some sort of a chip on her shoulder about you this season, and it was not pretty! I think her casino is not doing very well these days, I noticed in Hawaii she was wearing that tacky sunvisor and she kept touching it as if to make the viewers notice it had the name of her casino on it. Anyway Lisa you will be missed, I hope you come back next season, but I can understand why you would not want to! XOXO

Someone please explain what happened to Adrienne this season. Last year she was great...this year she came off petty and envious and it was not nice. Kyle is not a true friend - she's all about herself. I say stick w/Lisa, Camille, & Brandi and find new castmates for next season.

i love lisa her family i love her personality to the point does not hold back yeaaaaa TEAM LISA .... i also like brandi she was shunned from the begining was not given a chance get to know some one before you start acting like 5 year old kim and kyle bullies !!!!! taylor i really think is a user looking for pity i think that her husbands death stemmed from the white party i felt so bad for him no- one knows what goes on behind closed doors shame that she only gets to tell her side mmmmm kim ball of fire sad and adrianne super cool !!!! all in all there aight !!!! cant wait for ORANGE COUNTY wooo hoooo ....... OH BY THE WAY LISA BEAUTIFUL WEDDING CHE CHE !!!!!!

Love love love Lisa.

Lisa, I think you are fantastic. You are hilariously funny, smart, grounded, and it looks like you are a sincere friend. I love watching you and your family. You are a breath of fresh air and a delight to watch. I feel like being on the show encourages some of the ladies to behave badly, be it because they are egged on by their "fans" or attempting to use the show for free advertising.

Love you and your family Lisa! Too bad you're on a show with a bunch of "jelly beans"! Adrienne, Bernie and Kyle -would you like a peanut butter and JELLY sandwich to go with your fabricated drama!?

First comment did not make the cut so let me try once again. It is obvious from the viewers comments, Lisa will come out smelling like a rose. I haven't noticed a change in Lisa's personality since last season and that says it all as far as I'm concerned.

Kyle needs to stay focused and realize that Taylor is not her friend, heck Taylor is not anybody's friend. Lisa is not out to take anything from anyone, she doesn't need to.

I will miss all of you until next season. My best wishes and prayers go with Kim and Taylor.

I love lisa, and wedding was precious. God bless!

It's obvious that the other women are jealous of Lisa because she outweighs them in beauty, style and class. Besides all that, she is Giggy's mistress!

Lisa, I agree you are wonderful the other ladies are jealous!!

Lisa has nothing to defend! She was kind, generous, honest, devoted to family and friends, witty, engaging and joy to watch in every episode. It speaks volumes that the only criticism of Lisa by castmates is for imagined and implied behaviors that took place off camera. There is plenty of criticism to go around for the other castmates and that all took place ON camera.

Lisa you are such a classy individual! Your family is deliteful! And your daughter Pandora's wedding Was such a fairy tale event !! What a way to end the season! Love your Style and your Elegance! The other housewifes could learn a thing or 2 From YOU about manners.You could have your own show! Martha Stewart needs you!

Lisa - I really appreciate your position in this situation......you have been a lady with class and sophistication thru out this crazyness and to know you opened a new spot in Beveryly Hills and coordinated your daughters wedding and handled all that and even made the time for all the foolishness wth the hand that these housewives dealt.....its no wonder you moved...hehehehe
Stay true and you will never be blue!

Lisa -- I HAVE to let you know that my mother started watching the show in the middle of this season and became completely hooked. She couldn't believe the drama around Taylor -- but that's not the point. The point is that my relationship with her has improved because she has seen the unconditional love between you and Pandora! Don't get me wrong, my mother is very loving and wonderful and I love her but I feel as if she has seen how much you accept Pandora for who she is -- and now treats me just a teeny bit differently, more openly, a little less critical. So, kind of awesome. See what you inspired? Plus, we lived in England for many many years, and not only understand your piquant humor but also find it refreshing.

lisa,

out of all of the ladies you're my favorite!!!!!! the others have their own issues and you seem to be living life to the fullest. Don't lhem pee in your cereal and make you angry they're just jealous. anytime there was an issue you said it upfront and you never talked behind their backs. God bless you and your Family.

Smooches

Lisa was actually my favorite this season. She speaks her mind but it doesn't appear to be w/malice for others. She stepped up to help Taylor. Does she live and spend to excess? YES! But she didn't sit around bashing others; she can be cocky, but sensitive when the moment calls for it. Frankly, I would love to see them ALL spend a few moments in the REAL middle class of the world...they would learn a thing or two, and not just about money. But Lisa works hard and plays hard and it seemed like out of the blue others were finding fault with her. I didn't expect that from Adrienne who apparently has as much money as God and should take a step back and appreciate her life with no need to bash a friend for silly stuff.

Lisa you have always been my favorite. You are a class act and continue to be one.

Still love you Lisa. Love your life. Glad to see that you are the one that gets the spin off show. Cannot wait to see it. I am shocked at the other girl's obvious jealousy. You are so kind and I believe that you thought of them as casual friends at least. You deserve all the wonderful things that happen with you and your family and have to take the bad with them unfortunately. Stay strong and as wonderful as you are.

Lisa - you are a class act, and so real, we love you and as much as I adore the other women - if it came down to it - youre always on top. Sorry for Adrienne being so sensitive about her glasses...if you're a dog person you understand...and I thought Adrienne was! Oh well, bottom line - love your humor, personality, style and brains!

Lisa, I think you are a true lady and a hard-working woman with a lovely family. Kyle loves to stir the pot. Look up gossip in the dictionary, and there's er picture. Adrienne is fun and unny but tacky Las Vegas always ome through. she has a nice husband and family, but she doesn't "get" it most of the time. I don't think you have ever had an "agenda". i think you are honest, and when you ask questions it's because you are concerned.

sorry. I love Brandi. She's a breath of fresh air with these lying tightwads.

Team Lisa, all the way.
I had my reservations about Brandi, but really like her now.
Lisa Vanderplum and her family are the only ones with class and have been a joy to watch. Give her her own spin off and I bet BH Housewives will go down in ratings. She is the best part of this show.

Lisa I can't wait for the reunion show. I am team Lisa without even seeing it yet. you have no need to defend yourself to these catty women. Please stay away from Taylor-Cedric in waiting. Good luck with SUR and the new book. Adored the wedding. Mazel

As far as Adrienne being upset because you didn't ask her if she would do your daughter's party at her hotel, you were 100% correct in that you would be imposing on her and what is wrong with her . . . . . why couldn't she offer her place the same way your friend did? Some people just want to see you come to them for things and when you don't, they get upset! But if you did go to her, you might be hearing it from someone else "the nerves of you" so don't let Adrienne make you feel bad for not asking her. Lisa, I think you are far and far the best out of all of them! You are down to earth and witty and very stylish! Sometimes I felt you might be a little bossy like when Taylor wanted to keep the tea bag in her tea and you told her to take it out because you felt that was enough of the tea bag. Taylor just went along w/you but if she likes the tea bag in her tea for a shorter period of time, what's it to you??? I know you didn't mean any harm, but it's all about perception. I love ya girl - you rock!

I give Adrienne a lot of credit and admiration but she needs to lighten up
already and learn to go with a joke. Lisa has a talent with play on words and
is funny. The 'Maloof hoof' comment has received more positive press than
any paid advertisement could have. Adrienne should say 'thank you' to Lisa
and send her flowers.
Good luck to all...
