Trigger warning: This article mentions suicide.
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules has been a mixed bag. Tom Sandoval is still making excuses for having an affair with his girlfriend, Ariana Madix’s friend, Rachel Leviss. Sandoval isn’t owning much of his behavior. Surprise, surprise. One person whose behavior has been a bit unexpected is Lisa Vanderpump.
Sadly, Lisa’s brother took his own life, and she was extremely worried about Sandoval. She invited Lala Kent and Scheana Shay over to explain her concerns about his mental health. Lisa asked the ladies to stop “attacking him” because he was in a “very dark place.” But Ariana felt that Lisa was wrong to put Sandoval’s mental health in Scheana and Lala’s hands. “It’s a heavy burden to put on people,” Ariana explained. “If someone has concerns they should seek professional help for someone.”
Well, once Ariana watched back parts of Season 11 of Pump Rules, she had some thoughts about Lisa’s behavior.
So, where does Ariana stand with Lisa?
Ariana was a guest on Watch What Happens Live earlier this week, and shared the status of her friendship with Lisa. “It’s been good. She came to see me at the Dancing with the Stars finale, which was super cool, and every time I see her, it’s great,” Ariana said.
But watching Lisa on Season 11 of VPR was a bit different. She explained, “When you watch the show, you see things that you’re like, ‘What the heck?’ You know, so.” It’s understandable because Lisa is on a mission to reconnect this fractured friend group.
Plus, Scheana has also noticed a shift in Lisa’s behavior. When she was a guest on WWHL, host Andy Cohen asked her if Lisa had a “softer spot” for Ariana or Sandoval. “Sandoval. You will see it this season.” Scheana replied.
We will have to stay tuned to see who will mend their friendship with Sandoval, and who is just over it.
