According to a new source close to the Vanderpump Rules boss, her behavior towards the rest of the ladies is a direct result of her brother’s untimely death this past May. “Lisa hasn’t been herself for a while now. Her brother’s death truly rocked her and she hasn’t healed from that. The pain of it is trickling into other things and she’s doing her best to move forward with her life, but she’s having difficulties with it. She’s really focusing on her restaurants and charities and skipping out on the drama,” the source reveals to Hollywood Life.“Lisa has been really private about her brother and his passing but his tragic loss has been devastating,” the source continues.
Lisa was “shocked and saddened” after it was reported that he died from a suspected overdose. Now, “she doesn’t want to talk to anyone about it. It has really made her sad and it has affected her life and her work with RHOBH. [Her husband] Ken [Todd] has barely left her side throughout all of this and as usual, he always has her back. He and Lisa feel attacked by all of the other ladies this season, but the other wives feel that Lisa is just doing what she always does and stirring the pot to create stories and drama. Lisa is sad and disappointed the other ladies are not being more sympathetic to what she is going through.”
However, the source adds that Lisa's co-stars “may not realize some of the trauma and pain Lisa is enduring.”
Another source claims that the drama between LVP and the rest of the ladies stems from her feud with Dorit Kemsley over a rescue dog. But LVP denied those claims and even came to Dorit's defense during an interview with TMZ. Even Kyle revealed on Twitter that the story was not true.
Meanwhile, new sources reveal that the RHOBH ladies accused LVP of leaking stories to the press, in particularly to Radar Online, which is the reason why they are currently feuding - allegedly!
But Radar's Dylan Howard denied the claims and said the following: "I can say unequivocally that Lisa has never been an anonymous source to the site — although I for one wish that she was! She’d be as rich with information as she is rich is real-life!"
As for Lisa. she reacted to the topic when a fan reached out to her on Twitter and she responded, "I hear you... thank you for that....Apparently guilty before being proved guilty. Truth prevails. Always."
Lisa Vanderpump raised more eyebrows over the weekend when she skipped out from attending Camille Grammer's Hawaiian wedding. Many believe it was due to her ongoing alleged feud with the rest of the ladies, but a new source revealed the reason why she decided not to attend the nuptials.
“She’s going through a lot right now,” a source told PEOPLE. “It’s not been the best time for her.”
The source says that the death of Lisa's brother Todd in May “took a toll,” and tensions with the other women have been at an all-time high.
“Lisa’s choosing not to film during any of the group activities,” says the source, who notes that the drama arose partly after Lisa Rinna allegedly called out Vanderpump for not joining in during a cast photo shoot.
Now, “Lisa doesn’t want to be around the women as a group, so she’s getting less filming time. But nobody has quit. She’s definitely still on the show.”
Meanwhile, Lisa responded to a fan's lengthy comment via Instagram (see above), which she basically confirmed that she's avoiding and feuding with the RHOBH ladies. After the fan pointed out a few reasons why LVP is keeping her distance, Lisa replied back, "Someone's paying attention."
While the ladies were celebrating Camille Grammer's wedding in Hawaii, Vanderpump spent the day in L.A. at the Dodgers game.“Now, let’s concentrate on the important stuff... Go Dodgers!!! If you need me back to throw the first pitch, I'm available.”
