Katie Maloney is sharing her thoughts on the Vanderpump Rules reboot that is currently filming.
The Bravo reality series is getting revamped with a whole new cast, and although Maloney was ready to move on from the show, she still has some thoughts she wanted to share about the house she helped build.
“I was ready to walk away but it doesn’t mean [I] don’t care about our show and the legacy that we brought to it,” Maloney said on the Detox Retox podcast hosted by her ex-husband and former Vanderpump Rules co-star Tom Schwartz.
“I feel like this isn’t against any of them,” she added. “I don’t know them but it just feels cheap to me. It feels cheap and I don’t like cheap.”
Maloney reiterated that her opinion is not mean to bash any of the new cast members and suggested why it wasn’t made into “a whole different show,” instead of continuing on as Vanderpump Rules.
“To me it just feels like it’s going try to have the same flavor, the same everything…. When you try to replicate the recipe just based off of taste, you can’t do it,” she said.
Vanderpump Rules premiered on Bravo in 2013, following a group of servers working at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant in West Hollywood. Maloney was among the original cast members of the reality TV series, which documented the ups and downs of her tumultuous relationship with Schwartz, ultimately culminating in marriage and then divorce.
