In an exclusive interview with Page Six, Vanderpump addressed Leviss’ claims that she was not supportive of the cast’s personal growth and development.

Leviss’ Criticism

Leviss, who joined the show in Season 8, recently spoke out about her experience on ‘Vanderpump Rules‘, stating that Vanderpump did not provide adequate support for the cast’s personal growth. Leviss claimed that Vanderpump focused more on the drama and controversy surrounding the cast rather than their individual development.

Vanderpump’s Response

Vanderpump, however, disagreed with Leviss’ claims, stating that she has always been a supportive and caring mentor to her cast members. She pointed out that many of the cast members have gone on to achieve great things in their personal and professional lives, including opening their own businesses and starting families.

‘I think it’s very unfair to say that I haven’t been supportive of the cast,’ Vanderpump told Page Six. ‘I’ve been a mentor, a friend, and a boss to these people for many years, and I’ve seen them grow and evolve into the people they are today.’

Supporting the Cast

Vanderpump cited several examples of her support for the cast, including her role in helping Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix open their own bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s. She also mentioned her support for Stassi Schroeder, who recently gave birth to her second child and has been open about her struggles with motherhood.

‘I’ve been there for Stassi through her pregnancy and the birth of her second child, and I’ve supported her every step of the way,’ Vanderpump said. ‘I’ve also been a constant source of support for Tom and Ariana as they opened their own bar, and I’ve been there for the rest of the cast through their ups and downs.’

Focus on Drama

Leviss also criticized Vanderpump for focusing too much on the drama and controversy surrounding the cast, rather than their personal growth. However, Vanderpump defended her approach, stating that the drama is a natural part of the reality TV show.

‘This is a reality show, and drama is a part of it,’ Vanderpump said. ‘But I also believe that the show provides a platform for the cast to grow and learn from their experiences. It’s not just about the drama; it’s about the journey that these people are on.’

Conclusion

In conclusion, Lisa Vanderpump has responded to Raquel Leviss‘ criticism of ‘Vanderpump Rules‘, defending her role as a mentor and boss to the cast. Vanderpump believes that she has been a supportive and caring figure to the cast, and that the show provides a platform for their personal growth and development.
