Natalie starts their candid conversation by explaining the purpose of her role on the show. “I am responsible for making sure all the episodes are bleeped,” she told Scheana.

Lessons learned from working on Vanderpump Rules
Natalie has been working on the show for over a decade and has overcome many challenges on Vanderpump Rules, so much so that she informs Scheana of some valuable lessons she’s learned along the way.
“I think learning how to tell a story and... truly getting to understand everyone points of view,” Natalie says, adding, "And looking for humor in moments where it doesn’t seem there is humor to be had.”
