Lisa Vanderpump is not worried about the rumors surrounding the end of Vanderpump Rules after Bravo paused production for season 12. Despite the uncertainty, Vanderpump remains calm and focused on her restaurant endeavors. Following the fallout of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ affair during season 11, Bravo decided not to film season 12 during the summer months, allowing everyone involved to take a break and breathe.
In addition to her restaurant ventures, Vanderpump has been working on other shows such as Vanderpump Villa and The Valley, both of which she executive produces. The latter spinoff show features original VPR star Kristen Doute, with whom Vanderpump has mixed feelings about being on television again. Despite her reservations about Doute, Vanderpump recognizes the authenticity of the show and how the cast members fit in due to their long-standing friendships.
During the VPR hiatus, Vanderpump is keeping busy and will be a contestant on Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, which premieres on Fox. She describes her relationship with Ramsay as playful yet competitive, given their past rivalry with their restaurants being located opposite each other. Vanderpump is excited about the emotional components, business strategies, challenges, survival aspects, and various iconic locations featured in the show, as well as how she and Ramsay will interact.
Vanderpump hinted at some tension between herself and Ramsay on the show, noting that he is used to being the boss and now has to share that responsibility. Despite some clashes, Vanderpump made sure to assert herself and maintain a level of respect during filming. Meanwhile, fans can catch the second part of the Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion on Bravo and the premiere of season 2 of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars on Fox, providing ample entertainment for viewers.
