RHOBH Reunion Lisa Vanderpump Jabs Were Staged by Housewives: Brandi Glanville
BEVERLY HILLS (LALATE) – The RHOBH Reunion last night was staged by certain Housewives, Brandi Glanville claims. The RHOBH reunion last night disappointed with obviously staged jabs at Lisa Vanderpump all night long. Bravo delivered to viewers just petty, infantile disputes that weren’t entertaining and cast several housewives in a far negative light than ever seen before.
Lisa Vanderpump was seated on one side alongside Camille Grammer, while Kyle Richards sat next to Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong. In truth, Bravo probably wanted to sit everyone on one side of host Andy Cohen, and Lisa on the couch by herself.
All night long, the attacks flew at Lisa Vanderpump. Earlier this season, Adrienne Maloof was “angry” that Lisa didn’t have Pandora’s party at the Palms and that Lisa called Adrienne’s shoes a “Maloof Hoof”. Last night, Bravo dedicated ten minutes of airtime to whether the words “Hoof” (and then “little fat shoe”) are insulting words. When Lisa said she didn’t mean to insult with her selection of words, Andy Cohen enticed Maloof, and yanked even Camille Grammer into the mix, to claim Lisa is a downright, mean, insulting cast member.
No one believed it for a minute.
Rather, Adrienne Maloof turned out to be far more petty than ever before. But Bravo wasn’t done with Lisa yet. Next it was time for Adrienne Maloof’s chef. Bernie Guzman, as previously reported on LALATE, has been insulting Lisa on screen and off (notably his Facebook page) for an entire season. But last night, Maloof jabbed at Vanderpump for allegedly insulting Guzman’s cooking as being too bland. So apparently Bravo thinks (allegedly) insulting a chef’s cooking makes great reality programming. It doesn’t.
From alleged insults about high heels and bland cooking recipes, there wasn’t anything worthy of watching in the episode. But then, Maloof claimed that Lisa allegedly sells celebrity news stories for $25,000 to pay the bills. And Maloof said the ridiculous line with a straight face.
First, celebrity news sites do not pay $25,000 for a nominal story about a Beverly Hills Housewife. Second, Lisa Vanderpump’s reported net worth is $65 million. Third, viewers know that most if not all these cast members have publicists. In fact, viewers have watched publicists and managers appear on the telecast. The Richards’ sister manager appeared in the Sur Lounge opening this season; Camille Grammer’s publicist appeared earlier this season.
In the end, the show was dreadfully campy. And if it seemed staged, it’s because it reportedly was. One report claims that Maloof, Richards, and Armstrong allegedly met ahead a time and planned their jabs against Lisa. The source of the allegation is Brandi Glanville. Brandi Glanville has told news that the three Housewives allegedly met privately to stage their Vanderpump attacks before the taping began.
