While RHOBH fans miss Lisa Vanderpump, her new reality series Overserved offers up a look at her incredible home. This famous former Real Housewives star is beloved and
Fans are uncertain about Kelly Dodd's future on the show, but she has recently been in the news for some drama with Lisa Vanderpump, and it turns out it involves one of Lisa's restaurants. Let's take a look at what happened.
The Drama
No one is sure if Vanderpump Rules will return, and after watching the show for many years, fans are very familiar with Lisa Vanderpump's restaurants. She owns PUMP, SUR, and TomTom. Today.com reported in the summer of 2020 that Lisa was shutting down Villa Blanca. She noted the COVID-19 pandemic and rising rent as the reasons. Fans of the show are definitely familiar with that place so it's sad news.
Since Lisa Vanderpump starred on RHOBH and Kelly Dodd has been a long-time cast member on RHOC, viewers haven't seen the two interacting, but they have had some recent drama. And the situation between Lisa Vanderpump and Kelly Dodd has to do with Pump.
Lisa Vanderpump said that Kelly Dodd didn't pay for her meal at Pump. According to Us Weekly, Kelly tweeted that wasn't true: “THIS IS A LIE. A) It was 6yrs ago. B) I was a guest of [Vicki Gunvalson] & her friends. C) I paid my share & have the receipt. It was the others who didn’t pay! No wonder Villa Blanca went under. #RevisionistHistory.”
The tweet was then deleted. Kelly also said, "Oh & by the way @LisaVanderpump your food sucks & so does your service." People say that Kelly wasn't allowed back to Pump after that incident.
At the end of March 2021, Kelly got an apology from Lisa, who said that she was sorry for saying that Kelly didn't pay her bill.
According to Page Six, Lisa said, “Gosh of course I was told there was a problem and you didn’t pay. i was away but of course whatever you say,… I apologize if there was such a fiasco and apologize on behalf of all my staff. Would love to host you.” Kelly thanked her but said she wanted Lisa to say more on the matter.
Fans of the Real Housewives franchise are no strangers to fights and apologies, as it seems like every season, there is one major argument that leads to a string of apologies, along with conversations about whether that was genuine or not.
Lisa Vanderpump's Story
When Lisa Vanderpump shared in the summer of 2020 that Villa Blanca was closing, she said she would open her other places once she could. E! News quoted the reality star saying, "We will definitely be opening up the other restaurants as soon as the government allows it and they are safe to open, and many of the Villa Blanca staff members will be relocated to these businesses."
Lisa's story is impressive and fans might not be super familiar with her background since her time on RHOBH focused on her daily life with her husband Ken and her friendships.
According to The List, Lisa, who was born in London, England, enjoyed ballet when she was young. Lisa and Ken met when she was 21 years old and then they had their daughter Pandora and adopted their son Max.
Lisa was an actress and at 13, she was in a movie called A Touch Of Class, which came out in 1973. Lisa said of her younger self, "I was really together. I kind of very much believed in a strong work ethic. I had a job since I was like 13, you know?"
According to Bustle, Lisa Vanderpump has lived in many cool places, from the South of France to London to, of course, Beverly Hills.
Lisa was interviewed by Ad Week and said that she had several restaurants in London: she said, "I think we’ve had 32 in total. I’d always had a real affinity for design, so even now I design and create, with my husband, all the aesthetics and visuals for our restaurants."
There has been a lot of news surrounding Lisa Vanderpump's restaurants recently. According to Vice.com, a car drove right into Pump in January 2020.
There is also the lawsuit that Adam Pierce Antoine, who used to work for Lisa and Todd, filed in December. The lawsuit says that employees weren't given overtime and minimum wages when their shifts lasted 12 hours. The lawsuit also says that employees weren't given the breaks that they are allowed to have.
According to People, there was another class action lawsuit for the same reasons filed by Olivia Beverly Hanson on July 31st, 2020.
