Did Lisa Vanderpump Defend Tom Sandoval After His Affair?

Lisa sounded off on the claims that she was defending Tom Sandoval's affair at the Season 10 reunion.

“If I was defending him, I’d be saying what he did was OK. What he did was not OK," she told Us Weekly. "But a lot of other people [on the show] have done it. So if you look at statistics of infidelity, he didn’t kill anybody. So yes, the way he did it [and] the way he handled it was all wrong."

Though some fans thought that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was choosing sides, Lisa has "love" for all of the cast members.

“So I love them all. And as a mother figure to them [to] see them grown up, I think any person in that position would always try to get everybody to try and really have a better understanding of each other’s actions," she concluded.
