Reality television star Lisa Vanderpump remains unfazed by rumors that Vanderpump Rules may be coming to an end, especially after Bravo decided to pause production on season 12. She mentioned that every year she thinks it may be the last season, but they are taking a break to focus on other projects, such as opening another restaurant. Vanderpump also stated that they are likely done talking about previous drama involving Tom Sandoval and Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ affair.
Despite the hiatus of Vanderpump Rules, Lisa Vanderpump has been keeping busy with other endeavors such as her restaurant projects and working on other shows. She is producing shows like Vanderpump Villa and The Valley, the latter featuring original VPR star Kristen Doute. Vanderpump has mixed feelings about Doute being on TV again, particularly after Bravo cut ties with Doute and other cast members in 2020 due to past racially insensitive remarks. While she acknowledges Doute’s place in the group, she admits that Doute has always driven her crazy.
In addition to her other projects, Lisa Vanderpump is set to appear as a contestant on Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, which will premiere on Fox. She explained that her decision to participate was due to her playful and competitive relationship with Ramsay, as well as the different levels of interest in the competition. Vanderpump hinted at some tension between herself and Ramsay, as both are used to being in charge. Despite some disagreements, Vanderpump stated that the interactions were based on respect.
Viewers can catch the reunion of Vanderpump Rules season 11 on Bravo and the premiere of season 2 of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars on Fox. The show will explore the emotional aspects between contestants, business strategies, challenges, iconic locations, and the dynamic between Vanderpump and Ramsay. Vanderpump commented on the experience of working with Ramsay, mentioning the clash of two strong personalities but emphasizing the mutual respect between them. Overall, while Vanderpump Rules may be on pause, she remains committed to her various projects in the entertainment industry.
