If Faye's There, I Won't Be

If Lisa had known Faye was planning on being a mouthpiece at Kyle's party, she (and Brandi) should have skipped it.

By Lisa Vanderpump

Hello to you all,well I forewarned you that this journey was going to be riddled with trials and tribulations!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Peacock and the Bravo App.

So let's try to dissect this complicated episode. . .we resume with the awful scenario at Mauricio's event. Clearly Kim wanted to be a loyal friend and inform them, but she shouldn't have ignited the situation there. But hindsight is 20-20!

I had been briefly given the lowdown by Kyle the next morning and then, as you saw, Brandi comes over to see Ken and explain what had exactly transpired.

When I viewed this episode I wasn't prepared for the venom and ugliness, the temper of Paul, the vicious accusations by Adrienne towards Brandi, and I immediately understood why Taylor looked like a deer in the headlights, given her past. I cannot fathom how the other men stood by and let Paul verbally assault Brandi. It would never have happened if Ken had been there. Lord knows what would have ensued.

I have always endeavored to be honest with my friends, fellow 'Wives, and you the viewer. I would be dishonest if I let my support of Brandi supersede what I truly believed was right -- she shouldn't have said it. However I understood Brandi's frustration with Adrienne, as I have been in situations manifested by Adrienne and her staff of complete utter nonsense, constantly on social media and in the press, that I have really wanted to respond to,but have somehow managed to ignore. Maybe with the support of my husband calming me. When I have been so insulted by the things written that have come from her and her staff, it has been somewhat easier. . .Brandi has had to deal with it alone.

Brandi is, as you know, more volatile. She regrets what she said. Did I chastise her? Yes, to be truthful I did. She wished she could retract it. . .too late.

Ken, on the other hand, as thrilled as I was to have him home and doing so well, as you see, is a nightmare of a patient. He had been home a few days, had me up and down like a bloody yo yo. So when I witnessed him laughing with Martin, I know that, if there is another time. . .He can stay with Martin.

I have to say anybody undergoing a hip surgery,this doctor was amazing and within a week he was pain free and back to normal. Incredible!

We were invited to Kyle's house for dinner. If I had known that Faye was going to be there, all clued in, on what was supposed to be a secret, I would have possibly refused the invitation and advised Brandi to do likewise. I have memories of another dinner party where Faye was back up, mouthpiece, or whatever one would like to call her. It was an impossible situation. I knew Brandi had shown her regret but still felt indignant, and I agree with the fact that her feelings were valid too.

So we leave the party so to speak, until next next time. I will take this chance to wish you all a very happy holidays. My family want to "relax" at home that means me cooking 24/7! I wouldn't change it as I rarely have them all under one roof. It is a time of year to reflect, value, and cherish what we have.

In the wake of the horrific shooting in Connecticut, I send my condolences to the families that have lost their little ones. I cannot possibly ever understand the motivation for a heinous crime like this. My heart truly breaks for each and everyone who has lost somebody.

Thank you all for your support. God bless and a happy Christmas.
