There may be a small chance Lisa Vanderpump will return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the winter season. But they can say about it Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls TripWhen it comes to Vanderpump Rules season 10 premier party on Saturday, the 62-year-old restaurant maven was asked if he would ever appear in the Peacock spinoff in one interview as he opened up about his recent run-in with Add Chesthe “ding dong” tweet, and another on another.
“Oh, there’s about six reasons,” Vanderpump told Hollywood Life after shaking her head when asked about a potential role in the RHUGT.
“I’m very busy,” he continued. “I’ve got five restaurants. I’m opening two more. I’m planning now. I’ve got a dog foundation. I’ve got rosé and wine and thousands of dogs. If there’s something I want to do, I’m probably going to do it, but I don’t.
In the second interview, with Extra’s Terri SeymourVanderpump said that after sharing her infamous “ding dong” tweet in response to Rinna’s move from RHOBAshowing that “the witch is dead,” the two cross paths in Paris.
“I tweeted ‘Ding dong.’ Then I went to Paris two days later and who was there but Lisa Rinna! she shared, stating that the two were “politely ignored.”
“There is nothing to discuss. He didn’t treat me well on the show and we were old friends, but I think he had issues with some of the other people as well,” she said.
According to Vanderpump, she wasn’t surprised by Rinna’s exit, especially after seeing her booed at BravoCon.
“I don’t know whose choice it is, really. I try not to get involved,” he said, admitting that he “didn’t tweet ‘Ding dong,’ but I did.”
When Vanderpump regrets joining her in the drama of RHOBA, he has said “never say no” about making a comeback. However, when asked how much money it would take to get him back, he said, “I can’t be bought.”
For now, Vanderpump is content with her role Pump Rules.
“This season, it feels like we’re back to where we should be,” he teased. “The story is a bit more mature, I must say, because we see them struggling to grow up. There are stories with real problems, divorce and separation, separation of assets, and opening a business. This year there is a circle that is quite complex and complicated.
Most notable, perhaps, is the dynamic between the newly-divorced Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloneywhich met with a scandal in the middle of production because Tom was caught making out with his co-star, Rachel Lewis.
“I think she started off in a good place, but where it ended up not being right, she said,” Vanderpump said.
Also during the interview, Vanderpump looked back on her horse riding accident in January 2022, which left her with a leg injury.
“It’s terrible and it’s really devastating. I’ve been riding for many years, and then my horse fell while we were cantering and I broke my leg, about seven places. So it’s a bit of a wake-up call,” he admitted, indicating that he’s not sure he’ll ride again.
“I think there’s some PTSD in having a bad accident, but you know, we’ll have to wait and see,” he mused.
Fortunately, after her accident, Vanderpump was met with a happy arrival: her grandson.
“It’s great to have this beautiful baby and have full access to this baby like it’s my own, but I don’t have any responsibility,” Vanderpump said. “[Pandora Sabo is] a good and natural mother.”
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
