The ‘Vanderpump Rules’ cheating scandal keeps churning. Let us break it down for you
LA TimesIn the wake of the “Vanderpump Rules” cheating scandal, nobody edited the reality show’s newest episode, which was taped before its infamous love triangle exploded onto the pop-culture landscape this month. Tonight’s “Vanderpump Rules” episode possibly has deeper, hidden meaning in light of the cheating situation that blew up in early March. Scheana Shay, left, and Raquel Leviss appear on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.” She also defended herself a bit, writing, “Although I chose to be on a reality show accepting the good and bad that comes with it, beyond my own actions, I have been physically assaulted, lost friendships, received death threats and hate emails in addition to having had my privacy violated.” That day Leviss also filed for a restraining order against Shay alleging per TMZ that her apparently former friend had “shoved Raquel against a brick wall and punched her in her left eye.” The rumor is that Shay, 37, was defending their mutual friend Madix, and the filing included photos of Leviss with dark marks on her eyes. “There’s a lot of deception that comes with it.. People might not be able to identify with scamming old people or taking money from orphans and widows, but this feels relatable, where people know what it’s like to be cheated on or deceived by a friend.” Lifestyle Reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump’s latest L.A. venture is simply for the dogs With its bright pink exterior and white picket fence, the Vanderpump Dog Rescue Center, one of entrepreneur and reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump’s latest ventures, is hard to miss, especially if the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” costar and her husband’s white Rolls-Royce is parked out front.
