Lisa Vanderpump is a former main cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She has also received two spin-off series, titled: Vanderpump Rules and Vanderpump Dogs.
Casting[]
Vanderpump made up one of the original main cast members in the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She starred as a 'Housewife' until the conclusion of the ninth season. She decided to step away from the show after not getting along with any of her co-stars after they all believed that she leaked a story to the press; which led her to film less and less for the show and not at all with her co-stars. After a tough year personally and professionally, she more-or-less left the programme mid-production and while providing a "wrapping up storyline" type scene in the series finale, she did not attend the season’s Reunion Special; announcing this just the day before and that she had officially quit the show altogether.
During the third season of the main show, the first spin-off premiered, titled: Vanderpump Rules; which followed Vanderpump and some of her staff and some of her bars and restaurants as they navigate their futures in show business and their interpersonal dramas with each other. The series would go on for eleven seasons before being placed under "indefinite hiatus" ahead of the conclusion of its eleventh season.
Vanderpump, after her entire time on the main show, received a second spin-off series, titled: Vanderpump Dogs; which followed Vanderpump (running her dog foundation/rescue center), her staff and those who come to the adopting centre. This was only a one-time series.
Vanderpump has also found success in two additional self-produced and self-revolved series, titled: Overserved With Lisa Vanderpump and Vanderpump Villa.

Friendships[]
Kim Richards[]
Friend[]
Season 1[]
In Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wealthiness, Kim and Lisa are bought together when the six 'Housewives' go on a day trip to Las Vegas to watch a home game and cheer on NBA’s Sacramento Kings; a trip organized by their owner and Lisa’s friend, Adrienne Maloof. Since Kim is introduced to her Sister, Kyle Richards' friends, Kim doesn’t have a history with any of the non-related members of the group to her and doesn’t form a connection with any of the ladies in the group immediately, including Lisa, but realizes that forming such friendships will take time. Lisa picks up on the reserved nature of Kim which Kim describes as natural considering she was a child star.
In Chocolate Louboutins, after Kyle invites Lisa and her family to join her extended families' Easter get-together, Kim admits not to be too thrilled (meaning no offence but just doesn’t like the fact that their family celebration is being extended to other people and she is going to have to work hard to socialize and get to know Lisa which she finds is an uncomfortable task) . When Lisa helps both Kyle and Kim cook for a vast number of people during their first night together in Palm Desert, the Richards Sisters get into a small disagreement which Lisa notices is not something that you want to get in between as whoever you do not side with will bite your head off! Despite this, she says that she adores spending time with Kyle but finds Kim a little on the defense and hard to get to know.
In Plenty of Baggage, Kim and Lisa both attend the Las Vegas trip that Adrienne organizes yet their on-camera interaction is little. During the episode, pre-Las Vegas, Kim is invited, alongside all of the other 'Housewives', to Villa Blanca, for a bite to eat, however.
Kyle Richards[]
Former Friend[]
Season 1[]
In Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wealthiness, Lisa and Kyle talk highly of each other with Lisa labelling Kyle her "partner-in-crime", indicating that they already have a withstanding friendship. As Lisa goes onto say how funny she finds Kyle, she points out that they’re so close since they both have a handbag addiction! Lisa, does however, find flying with Kyle a little annoying since the latter is such a nervous flier and it brings out her dramatic and neurotic side. At lunch, in Las Vegas, Kyle seems most comfortable with Lisa and tries to imitate her English accent; which the latter feels isn’t done too well!
In Chocolate Louboutins, Kyle invites Lisa to spend Easter with herself, her Sister, Kim Richards, and their families. They all enjoy the festivities together and while Kyle commends how Lisa always has the best and biggest things from the cards to the dogs to the gifts, Lisa gushes over how much she adores Kyle. When the pair of Sisters have a little disagreement while away in Palm Desert, Lisa does defend her friend within the mini-battle, which is Kyle.
In Plenty of Baggage, Lisa is in good spirits with Kyle, as normal, as they have a laugh with each other at the airport, during dinners and by pool during the trip that Adrienne Maloof has organized in Las Vegas. Since Camille Grammer and Kyle had a mini-altercation before they left Vegas, Camille vents to their mutual friend, Lisa, and alleges that Kyle questioned why "anyone would be interested in Camille without Kelsey being there". Lisa does though defend her good friend, Kyle, suggesting that she’d never say such a thing and speculates that maybe Camille misheard or misunderstood Kyle’s wording and intentions.
Adrienne Maloof[]
Friend[]
Season 1[]
In Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wealthiness, Adrienne and Lisa are introduced as neighbors of five years and having a strong friendship. As Adrienne invites Lisa, along with a few other of her girlfriends, on a day trip to Las Vegas to watch NBA’s Sacramento Kings play a home game, Lisa jumps at the opportunity and commends Adrienne’s hosting skills - which she jokes that a friendship with Adrienne comes with many perks!
In Plenty of Baggage, Adrienne invites Lisa, alongside all of the other 'Housewives', once again to Las Vegas in order to have a couples getaway and to watch a Jay Z concert. Lisa gushes once again about going to Las Vegas with Adrienne who owns a lot of it and is such a VIP.
Taylor Armstrong[]
Friend[]
Season 1[]
In Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wealthiness, it is clear that Lisa and Taylor have not really had any type of relationship or friendship since before boarding the private jet that Adrienne Maloof organizes for some of her closest girlfriends; Taylor and Lisa included. Taylor comments on Lisa’s dog, Giggy, which she appreciates and the former commends the latter for being so stylish and fashionable to carry off walking around with a dog instead of a handbag well.
In Plenty of Baggage, Lisa meets Taylor’s Husband, Russell, for the first time, when she hosts a lunch at Villa Blanca for the 'Housewives' and their Husbands. She laughs as he is not remotely how Taylor painted him out to be, according to Lisa. However, when she gets to know him during their trip to Las Vegas (a trip organized by Adrienne), Lisa seems to privately compliment Taylor but criticize her Husband at the same time. An example is when Lisa describes Taylor as stunning, bright and vivacious yet pokes fun at how opposites do attract (likening Russell to be, in fact, none of these). During this trip away, Lisa notes the lacking of bonding that Russell does manage to do with the group.
Camille Grammer[]
Friend[]
Season 1[]
In Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wealthiness, there appears to be more of an acquaintance-type relationship between Camille and Lisa as they do not mention how well they know each other but seem to be only getting to know each other on the private jet over to Las Vegas, which Adrienne Maloof has organized.
In Plenty of Baggage, after a mini-altercation between Camille and Kyle Richards at the end of their trip to Las Vegas (organized by Adrienne), Lisa does go shopping with Camille to hear her side of the story. While Camille alleges that Kyle said that no one would be interested in her if it weren’t for her Husband, Lisa does defend Kyle and says she can’t imagine that she’d ever say such a thing. She speculates that maybe Camille misheard or misinterpreted what Kyle had said. While there is a difference in opinion here, their friendship does not suffer as a result.
