Gaining Perspective

Lisa thanks the fans for her support and sharing their points of view.

Feb 14, 2012

As we come to the final conclusion of a tumultuous season, it is time to say goodbye. . .

I have to thank you the viewer for your incredible support, humor, and honesty, which is invaluable especially when we flounder and wonder if it is only us who "sees it that way." Then you all step in with your different points of view and suddenly, we gain perspective on the situation from many different angles.

Many of you have watched us all for almost 45 episodes over the last two years, so when people stop us in the street and say "I really feel I know you," I think you do. You have witnessed incredibly special intimate moments -- the preparation of the wedding, the news of the proposal, little vignettes of our lives that have been documented for all the world to see. It is almost as if you join us on our emotional journey.

I have few regrets this season, but I have been more deeply disappointed when watching the footage of some of the negativity. I would never allow, out of allegiance to my friend, somebody to repeatedly trash a friend of mine who was totally unaware of the situation until it had been aired. That is something I just can't fathom.

After watching the season finale, I think that it's clear that Adrienne needed to leave the public eye and concentrate on how to alleviate her self-centered ego. And Faye(busy-body, attention seeker) Resnick needs to stay at home AWAY from the cameras. Kim needs to own her actions and quit living in the past and Kyle, well Kyle needs to take a course in friendship, honor, sincerity, and truth. ALL of the above need to leave the public eye and work on their own flaws.

Lisa who brought Faye to your party???? You know she is nothing but trouble. It was sickening to see Kyle sucking up to Faye. She crashed the party or hid behind Kyle to get in .......really Faye!!!! Lisa you and Ken are the best! Your husband stands up for what is right and it was nice that Ken defended Brandi when Kyle allowed her to be attacked at the "white" party which should be called "who will get ganged upon this year." That theme party needs to be changed. How dare Faye start trouble at your anniversary party she only thinks of herself. Hello HW have a Faye bouncer to keep her out of parties. So sweet of Ken to want to re-new his vows Lisa!!!!

Lisa,

 

I do hope that you come back for another season, it just won't be the same without you!  You have been a good influence for Brandi and a great example of how to be the bigger person in any situation.  As for friendships, some come and some will go, those that are meant to be stand the test of time.  My nana used to say that "truth and beauty never spoil".  So stand by your convictions and uphold your beliefs.  Best wishes to you and Ken and the "jiggie".

Lisa is the best house wife on the show. What a classy ladie. I think the sexiest guy on Vanderpump Rules is Peter your manager. I would LOVE to meet him someday. I'm a big fan. I'm glad you bring him on the house wives show ocassionally. I live in a small town in the valley. I hope one day we can meet..:0).

I think lisa is a wonderful lady with great morals.  she loves her family and the relationship she has with her children is inspiring.  she is a great ambassador for the british and a shining example of hard work paying off.  she deserves her lifestyle as it has been earned.  well done Lisa  and ken on being great to watch.

I think Lisa and Ken are nice people but they should stop pandering to Brandi. Also, Lisa went overboard when Adriene suggested that Lisa sold a story. Big deal! She wasn't accusing her of committing some crime. I thought Lisa's reaction was out of line and Adriene did make an attempt to make amends when she sent that huge flower display. I would like to see Lisa and Adriene become friends again.

Lisa,

    Wait just a cotton pickin' minute.  Brandi was wrong for saying the "f" word to Adrienne, but it's okay for a customer to call an employee a "B"????  What a hypocritical attitude.

Lisa, you are the most classiest and comedic woman I have ever seen on TV! You are honestly my favourite of all of the housewives of Beverley Hills. You have money and still you are down to Earth and always willing to help people out (Taylor). Do not worry yourself about Kyle, I feel as though she understands that in order to fit in she needs to talk behind her friends back. You do not need people like that in your life, you have plenty of other friends who I am sure will truly stick by you. If you left the show, that is something that I could not fathom. You are the reason why I watch Beverley Hills! I do not care for many of the other housewives, but you I ABSOLUTELY LOVE :) 

 

Best of luck to you, we love you in Australia!

Hi Lisa,  Just want to tell you that I think you are the classiest housewife of all of them.  You may be the oldest, but you are the most beautiful.   Stay classy and don't let the others drag you down to their level.

Hi Lisa, 

I have been wanting to write you for months. I have a pom who also has alopecia and I found a natural cure. Binky is getting pink and hairy again. I wanted to share it with you. 1/4 cup apply cider vinegar to 3/4 cup water. Spray it on the skin once a day. Binky was almost bald on her back and legs and I have been doing this for 4 months and now she is pink and getting so much new growth. Try it on your babies. Can't wait for the new show.

In Light, Devra

Hi Liza,We love you on the show,and when the other girls pick on you may granddaughter goes mad, Please Liza do not be fooled by  Taylor, their is no way you can put your jaw back in by your self,not with the mouth she has with all the money spent on her teeth,you have to have the bite checked,My daughter fled violence ,she left with just the babys cloths plus what she was wearing, and for her to say she knew nothing its all a lie, and you would never make a comment like I Have Lost My Friend not when you are supposed to have been beaten,also Adrianne husband is a plastic surgeon so he should know all about jaws.and this comes all the way from Yorkshire,We all think that the only trueful people on the show are you, Camile,and Brandi, the others are all full of them selfves and they need to open their eyes and take a deep look,and no one likes Dena she is so full of ,,,,.Take care Liza and thank you for letting us see your beautifull daughters wedding.Keep safe and best wishes to Ken, and we are all water logged over hear its never stopped raining.

Lisa-  I love you!.  You are the most real and honest wife out there.  If you leave....you'll leave a very large void in the Giginess off housewive's lifes

texasviewer 2461 pts

Even with all the material possessions that you have, you seem so down to earth and a good friend.  You can also cook.  Mom always told me growing up that it isn't rich people who are snobs, it's the ones who think they are.  Thankfully, you seem very grounded whether you had money or not...and your family always seemed to come first.  That is HUGE in today's world.

Dear Lisa, reading your latest blog one can feel your hurt and understandibly so, you are very loyal as am I and it is especially with people whom you protect and are close with very hurtful when they play the diplomatic card yet have no problems too aggressively protecting another friend. Knowing now the extent of it must be hard and I know we all feel for you, loyal friends are hard to come by and adding further disrespectful allegations, backstabbing etc I have to say I am very chocked at others behaviour this season. At the core you are beautiful, smart, savvy, witty and above all a loving person with inpeccable taste - I believe when these women compare themselves to you ultimately they feel lesser and instead of supporting and admiring you for it they turn these negative selfimage feelings against you, this is very human I am afraid and I hope you therefore can heel faster.

Also although english is spoken there is huge cultural gap between Europe & Us, I myself have made similar experiences growing up in Europe and then moving to New York as a business lawyer & entrepreneur - loving every bit of it but also seeing the differences which are enchanting at the of the end the day which I believe you agree with. If I were you I would strongly reconsider returning, tv is great promotionally however there is a thin line of when one gets too exploited and it is at your expense, you are very intelligent and I am sure you will know when that line crosses as there also very positive sides to it.

All the best to you & your wonderful family, Lili

Kyle came up for air when discussing Brandi's crystal meth comment, she made the statement that once it's out there, it stays with you even if it isn't true. Sort of makes a case for Kyle and Adrienne knocking themselves out to be sure and disparage your character, hoping it wouldn't be forgotten. Love you, Lisa, you don't need friend like those two. I think you would make a wonderful talk show hostess. Hope we see your face soon!!!!!

Noooooo, don't leave Lisa. Totally my favorite housewife. You will be greatly missed. No point in watching the show next season :( Best wishes to you and your family. Thanks for entertaining us

I wish you and yours nothing but health, happiness, love and prosperity! You, my dear, are a shining example of class, no matter the size of one's bank account. Thank you.

Lisa~ You're the best... You showed such compassion, honesty and class, something the other ladies lack. Blessed Be~

Lisa, your blog sounds like you have closed the door on the RHWOBH :(. As I hate to hear this I do understand your feelings. You were completely blindsided by Kyle and Adrienne. The fans love you and suspect with you being gone the series will be cancelled. I personally know that I will not watch it anymore!

Please don't leave the show. I love your honesty, integrity, loyalty, and humor. You are a straight shooter with soooo much class. I don't think Kyle is a true friend to you. Maybe she is jealous of how loved you are while she acts like a mean girl straight out of high school.

Classy, Charismatic, Comical, always the Consummate Lady! Lisa, you are the one saving grace in the sea of Beverly Hills madness that keeps viewers coming back! I have so enjoyed "getting to know" your family...Ken is a doll in his own right and obviously loves you. Your children are a testiment to the values you hold true. You are the Dose of Divine that shines each week!

Now that the season has ended, I hope you realize through comments like my own, how much you are loved and respected by your fans. I will continue to get my "dose of divine" following you on twitter.

Thanks, Lisa, for opening up your persoanl life. It seems that you have, as much as possible, stayed true to yourself and you pretty much are who we see. I'm sure editing has everything to do with what the public sees. The one thing that really screams at the public is that no matter what the size of your bank account, people are people, have issues and problems regardless of their status in life. I don't have friends like the ones I've seen on ALL the HW shows...thanks goodness. Your sense of humor is great and besides faith, truly gets us through life. Enjoy your life, your husband is WONDERFUL and hopefully soon new grandbabies will come. They are such a gift in life. Best Wishes and Smiles

Lisa, I'm glad you finally got to really see Kyle in action.I have always believed that she is a user and turns situations around to make her look good. As for Adrienne what a total dissappoint. She also showed her true colors. You really showed both of them how a women handles herself even though we could tell in your eyes how hurt your were. Adrienne needs to get over herself. So what you didn't have your daughters party at her establishment. Did she offer to pay? Do you turn into a back stabbing witch when she eats at other restaurants? Of course not because you are not so self absorbed that you feel no one can do it better. So dissappointed in her behavior.Glad you moved. As for Kyle its obvious she tries to surround herself with wealthy people. She'll be back when she realizes no one gives a hoot about Taylor and her book doesn't do well.Not trying to be mean but things still don't add up. We love Ken too.

Love you Lisa, your are a classy lady. You and Ken are so funny together. You, Camille and Brandi were the only ones that I liked this season. Pandoras wedding was beautiful. I hope to see you and your family back next season along with Camille and Brandi.

Mrs Vanderpump We love the show and we believe you are the heart of the show. We only watch because of your class, charm, and loveliness! We will only stay tuned if you return!!

What a wonderful example you are to all! I hope to see you on your own show soon!

I am a senior fan who appreciates your mature grace and dignity. My comments are for the benefit of your little dog, Jiggy. I had a teacup poodle and now a pom-poo. This is what I have learned: Your dog could have allergies on a grand scale. Dogs should not eat fruit, especially strawberries and blueberries, even if served on a silver platter. As you know, all fruit is sprayed with insect repellents and a very small animal is vulnerable to everything. Dogs, even teacup dogs, are carnivores. Lots of fancy dog foods have chemicals which your dog doesn't need. A holistic approach may help. My little guy loved baked chicken and ground beef--which I prepared. I give my dogs only DISTILLED water and suggest you bathe him in it as well to avoid any tap water chemicals. Use only hypoallergenic shampoos with NO scents. After you bathe him, rub him down with vaseline and let him run around naked for a while. If he's cold, provide him with special-made stairs so he can climb to a raised bed and cover him with a towel. Let him be natural. He's a dog--and dogs scratch. I assume your Vet has checked him for mange and other microscopic parasites. The vaseline would help with that as well. When you want to dress him, wipe him off with a soft rag and put only soft USA cotten loose-fitting t-shirts on him to run around your hot climate. His body heat will insulate him. If Jiggy were your child, you would take what the doctors tell you into consideration and then use your own common sense--right? Jiggy is not a toy or a child and if you focus on his animal needs you might see changes. This message is meant sincerely and I would be glad to share any other ideas with you should you desire.

Lisa, Thank you so much for the glimpse into your fabulous life, I really enjoyed it! I hope to see you back next season, but I can understand why you would not want to return. I am so sickened by the way your "friends" treated you all season, it was very hard to watch. As usual you have proven yourself to be a true lady, and I think that just ticks off the other women who treated you so poorly even more. Take care, hugs to you, Ken, and of course Giggy!

Think you are gorgeous! I agree you should stay away from Brandi, she is low rent trouble. Wish more time was spent interacting with Ken. He seems like he has a good sense of humor. Love Giggy. Do the other dogs get jealous of him because he is always held and gets to go everywhere?

Greetings,

I am just now catching up on the "Lost Episodes" and wanted to share a little bit of info from what my veterinarian has said about my Pomeranian. She suggests that the itching is caused by a food allergy - for my pom, she suggested a diet rich in salmon and salmon oil. I found an organic, small kibble, dog food that is made locally and my little pom no longer has itchy skin and his coat is shiny and beautiful.

On another note, I hope you stick around for another season, but do have to agree with a few other people's comments, you are a bit more classy than the rest of the housewives - so if you depart, I wish you good luck, happiness and good health for everyone in your family (including the critters)

I am so looking forward to seeing your beautiful new home next season. Just please do not host any "instruction" parties or game nights! Thank you for the fun you brought to this past season and for sharing your daughter's lovely wedding. Ken has really started to sparkle and it is fun getting to know him a little bit better----without Giggy (even though we all love your little dog).

Although I never thought the hoof comment was that funny, it was the editing that really drove it into the ground. If Adrienne had let it go, it would probably have been forgotten by now. I hope you have all learned from this and will resolve to not damage the future business ventures of the others on the show.

The only real mistake I can see that you made this past season, aside from trusting people that are not worthy of your trust, is that you should have made a fuss over little Jackpot. He really is cute, and all dog names seem silly to someone. The world is certainly big enough for both Giggy and Jackpot.

Please come back!

Dear Lisa

I have to say that you are incredibly classy and you just have zillion tons of style in all kinds of situations.I live in sweden wich isnt faar from england but me myself have lived in florida.I just love the show but at the same time it must have taken a toll on some of you to always have been in focus on tv..I really dont judge and it would be unfair of me to judge anyone on the show since it only shows portions of your everyday life-so if i would judge any of you ladies for anything then that would say something about me myself..I think you are a true rolemodel and you look like a true top model-and im sure you will after you get to be 105 years old :) I think that you and your husband looks like a great couple...I just saw the episode over here in sweden when you had made over SUR-oh my god that is a awsome place-too bad im too faar away and too bad im not a moviestar or i would have loved to see it...Thank you for showing us all how to be classy...Anne

I was kind of wary of you at first but you won me over. As for animosity some of your cast mates have shown to you - we have a saying: "Dogs bark, but the caravan passes on". And soon their bark will fade. In general this season was difficult to watch and kind of ruined RHOBH for me - I honestly don't know if I will be coming back for more. In any case wish you all the best with whatever your next project will be. It was nice watching you.

Lise of all the housewife shows and all of the women on them you ar by far the most endearing and compassionate one of all. If I am reading right you are not returning to the housewives which is a great loss to those who watch, but understandably with what happened on the reunion, it looks as though you were targeted by the evil richards sisters, and Adrienne. Brandi truly appears to like and respect you even though she wants your husband, lol. And Taylor ...but I have my own opinion of her and put little thought into her life other than think about the childrens life you just destroyed with your lies get the hell out of the public eye. I am an abuse survivor and what she says does not add up to true abuse, which makes it much harder for the women in these situations. please watch your back with her. Keep on being real Lisa and thank you for sharing your family and your wit and humor with us. Wish you all the best.

I am not sure why Addrianne and and Kyle decided to turn tables and become very hostile towards you. I never understood why Taylor desperately needed you to be her friend. Kyle, I suspect, wanted her own spin off show. With the talk of you getting one, I am sure she is not pleased! Addrianne, I also suspect, came on this show, to promote her businesses. After the "attacks" at the reunion and such many viewers are wishing they were off the show. Taylor is an emotional drain that needs to get her life in order before appearing in anymore reality tv shows. I like that you and Brandi have become friends. But, I would be a bit un-nerved by all the talk about your husband. I have friends from the UK and I know first hand how their sense of humor differs from my American humor. Move on from those who proved not to be your friends, and continue to do what you do.

Lisa,

I'm glad you gave us one last blog for this season. You are a very classy lady and the show won't be the same if you don't return. I am very disappointed with your friends' behaviour as well at the reunion - so sad. I love your humour, your husband (same as Brandi!), and the way you live your life with common sense and class. Best of luck to you and your fam!

Lisa, you are the most insightful, intelligent and elegant of all the housewives. I appreciate your humor and honesty. Also your true appreciation for your family and pets. I was so disappointed when Adrienne and Kyle unfairly maligned you...where was all that coming from? Your last blog sounded as if you will not continue with the filming of the show. If that is true, I absolutely understand...your life is full and enriched and thoughtful. I think RHOBH isn't worth your valuable time. I've become frustrated with myself for watching the antics of poor Kim and Taylor. I would continue to watch if you continue to film. Thank you for your refreshing honesty and brilliance.

Lisa, I do hope you come back next season. Your inner strength is amazing. It is a lesson to be learned. If you and Brandi does not show up on the next season their is no reason to watch the show. I cannot not deal with Kyle and Taylor. They are to far fetch in their own egos. Camilla would be nice to see again. I know their are more to your lives than what Taylor and Kyle has displayed. They are totally tacky people.

thank you Lisa for sharing your life with us.. You are still my favorite housewife, and you are the most gorgeous, wonderful, person inside and out..

Lisa,

You are a Class Act, all the way!! You handle yourself beatilfully. Because of this we love you!! You and your wonderful family take care!!

I love you so much. You're the only reason I watched this show. Your post makes it sound like you're leaving? I'm going to miss having a window into your life but I understand why and I think it's probably for the better. I was disgusted at how they treated you at the tea party and on the reunion. I felt for you because you looked hurt, you were slumped back on the couch and quiet. I don't even understand what their criticisms are of you. That you make jokes? That you're more intelligent than them? It's disappointing because you make them feel insecure, because of their own issues, so they decide to attack you for it and try to bring you down to their level so that they feel better. It was disgusting. I felt like you were too good to be hanging around those ladies, too good to be doing the show. I'm sorry they treated you that way. I hope that you can reflect and learn from the experience. Please don't take anything they said to heart. There was nothing wrong with jokes like the Vanloof Hoof or Crackpot. Something happened with Adrienne this season where she completely lost her sense of humor and got involved in drama as much as she could. Anyway, I will miss you and thank you for being a role model! You are so classy, intelligent, funny, and down to earth, all at the same time.

Lisa, I've watched the show from the beginning. From that time you have remained my favorite. Used to really like Kyle, but geesh, what happened there?! Makes me wonder if she was hiding her true colors, or just lost her damn mind! Anway, just wanted to tell you how much I admire you, as a woman, a mother, a human being. Really like Ken as well. It must be nice to have the kind of true, mutual admiration that you two have for each other. I have learned alot from all of you. Sadly, not all good from some of the others. But, the main thing I did learn from the show, is to appreciate the little things. They truly are what makes one happy. I will follow anything you do in the future. I wish you, and yours continued happiness~

Dear Lisa, You are the first Bravo Housewife to become an example of living life in a way that is kind, productive, honest, & sincere! At the reunion you proved it even more by not grasping for rumors, & going into hystrionics for the sake if the show. You sat quietly throughout until blatent lies began to be thrown at you. You were totally awesome at the reunion! Anyone that thinks that wealthy people must have it easy is incorrect. None of us can get through this life without disappontments, heartbreaks, & some serious tribulations. Yet, you have showed us how to make the least of it, & not turn it into everyone elses drama along side of your own! That is a great quality to have in keeping friends! Too bad this show unvieled a few friends of yours that were not friends for the right reasons! You really are a wonderful lady! Watching Pandy's wedding was a highlght of the season, & your story was always entertaining because of your adorable sense of humor! Goes to show that housewives don't need to be nasty & bratty to keep this show entertaining! Have a great spring & summer! Cheers, love mel, xx

My feelings remain the same especially after viewing reunion3: you are the BEST! The hijacking/hood-winking coup Kyle & Adrienne pulled on you was horrendous. It backfired on them, and they have made one messy bed in which to lie. GOD BLESS THE WONDERFUL LISA VANDERPUMP...and your family and pups!

Lisa you are a teacher to some of us, an example on how to handle hurtful, situations with dignity and grace, the best way to expose your attacker and let them looking like like shit. That is exactly what happened. and I am glad you managed the situation the way you did. Looking forward to see you and Kem next season.

Lisa, I think you’re amazing and fabulous. I truly hope you return to the show, but after the bs you incurred this season, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t. I did read that you may get a spinoff and I’ll tell you now, ALL YOUR DEVOTED FANS WILL WATCH AND SUPPORT! I’m not one to blog but after watching this season and the reunion (geez), I was so sad and felt SO compelled to let Kyle know how WRONG and disloyal she was, so I blogged to her too. I thought of emailing Adrienne but I figured why bother. Adrienne who was such a diplomatic sweet person season one and season two still sweet but mad over ridiculous things; she just seemed hell-bent on being mad at you. She should take the time to speak to her chef (he’s rude and obnoxious), she should have beat your friends to punch by asking to host Pandora’s bachelorette party, and MOST of all she should have come to you ONE-ON-ONE to discuss this RadarOnline issue, instead of making false accusations and trying to cause embarrassment, you have just as much money as she does (if not more) so why the hell would you sell a story?!?! Makes no sense. This only made her look worse. Your fans feel like they know you and your fans support your honesty, humor, and kind spirit. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to see RadarOnline post a statement defending you on the nonsense you did not do! It was excellent! I hope in time when your wounds have healed, you and Kyle will reconcile or that you will forgive her for being an untrue friend. It’s sad because you could see during season one and parts of two that you guys were such good friends, a friendship I (like many) admired. I’m sure by now you’ve dusted off your shoulders and moved on from this, but if you haven’t , just know….you’re amazing and truly one of the best!
