“She’s definitely been through a lot in the last year or so with lots of family members and also feeling probably like she maybe had friendships that also don’t exist anymore,” Ariana told Us Weekly. “On our show — or at least this summer — she was so giving of herself and so open and so willing to kind of put herself out there with us more with our cast more. I think that people are going to really enjoy.”
Sandoval added that Vanderpump felt “so much more present” ever since quitting RHOBH.
“You’ve got to understand, Lisa fricking hated filming Housewives. She f–king hated it. I’d be having a conversation with her, and I could see in her head that she’s stressed,” he told Us Weekly. “She’s like, ‘I have to go film Housewives after this, and it’s really making me miserable.’ … When you’re stressed out about something you can’t really care about anything. It can overtake you.”
After nine seasons, Vanderpump quit the series while the show was still airing on Bravo and skipped the Season 9 reunion. LVP left the show due to the show after falling with her co-stars and she was dealing with personal issues after the passing of her brother.
