For years, Lisa Vanderpump was Bravo’s golden girl. She was the face of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and often seemed to do no wrong. However, she eventually started making enemies amongst her own sex. As the seasons went on, she seemed not to be the greatest supporter of women, and her actions proved this over and over again. 

Ally Lewber revealed Lisa Vanderpump told her to stay with James Kennedy after his arrest

Ally Lewber has had a rough year since news broke that she was involved in a domestic dispute with James Kennedy. During the holiday season, James was arrested after Kathy Hilton’s party. The police report shared a statement from the responding officer, who said he saw a “male and female inside of a residence.” The arrest log said the “Female stated that her boyfriend lifted her up and threw her to the ground” and confirmed that the arrest charge was “domestic battery upon spouse/co-habitant.” Recently, Ally opened up about a “weird phone call” she had with Lisa. 

While on the Viall Files, the astrologer revealed, “[Lisa] called me to make sure like, ‘Are you okay?’ I mean, this was like two months [after the arrest].” Ally added, “She’s very protective of her James. And I get it because I was too for a long time … I think that they, like she feels protective, like a mother almost to him. And I thought that was really weird at first when I first got on the show.” Ally revealed that Lisa tried to convince her to stay with him. 

Lisa Vanderpump always seemed to support the men more than the women on Pump Rules

“She was like, ‘You should go travel with him to his shows this weekend,’” said Ally. “I’m like, ‘First of all, what shows? He’s canceled right now. And also — no. I just moved into an apartment … We’re not together.’ But it was really weird because on the call I was kind of like … weak in the moment, you know? And I’m like, ‘Did I make the wrong [decision]?’ … Like questioning everything.” Lisa has been called out more than once when it came to supporting the men’s bad behavior.

She was caught by TMZ trashing Rachel Leviss. “I think if you don’t want somebody sharing your porn don’t send it to your best friend’s boyfriend. Lisa also took a hard stance with Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney when they were being so hard on Tom Sandoval after Scandoval. Some fans would argue that she went out of her way to convince other co-stars to support Tom after his betrayal.

Rachel Leviss says Lisa Vanderpump doesn’t support women

During her podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, Rachel opened up more about her true feelings regarding Lisa. She told listeners, “I feel like Lisa has extended her resources to Tom more than I’ve ever seen that extended to me, and that concern for me. So, I’m not surprised by it because I feel like it’s pretty typical for Lisa to take the men under her wing and make sure that the men are okay, but she doesn’t really care about the women on the show as much.” 

Rachel added, “To me, my perception of it, it seems like the women are more disposable to her. And, she has invested in the TomTom name and has business with Sandoval. So, yeah, it’s like, okay, if you were really concerned about Tom having dark thoughts, like, you had to have considered my mental state of mind as well. Because we were both going through the same thing at the same time.” Rachel had a lot to say, adding, “I feel like Lisa does have a responsibility and production does have a responsibility to treat the cast equally when it comes to caring for their mental health. You can’t preach that and only apply it to one person or pick and choose who you extend that care to. So I don’t think that was right.” Here’s hoping Lisa changes her tune when the reboot finally airs.

The Valley is available to stream on Peacock.
