Lіsа Vаnderрumр ‘Doesn’t Understаnd’ Rасһel Levіss’ VPR Tһerаріst Comments

   

Lisa Vanderpump took issue with another one of Rachel Leviss’ comments to the press. What was it this time? Well, one news outlet asked Rachel if she’d ever return to Vanderpump Rules.

In response, Rachel said, “It would take all-expenses-paid therapy. I would need a therapist on call and therapy sessions after every single filming session!” Sounds like something any reality TV star could use, frankly.

Granted, even with infinite therapy, Rachel admitted she wasn’t so keen on returning to the cameras. However, Lisa didn’t quite understand the basis of Rachel’s comments. But perhaps not for the reason you might think.

In an interview with Us Weekly, Lisa addressed Rachel’s comments about needing a paid therapist to return to VPR. “She said that, but I think she has had a therapist on hand the whole time through filming,” Lisa said. “I think Bravo [is] very cognizant of that — of being there even when you’re filming, saying somebody’s available for you to talk to.”

With that in mind, Lisa added, “So, I don’t quite understand what that means.” Given Lisa’s response, the ball is in Rachel’s court. She might deny that therapy was always available to her. She might take issue with the quality of Bravo’s therapists. Bravo certainly has the resources to provide on-call therapists. But at this point, it’s a “she said, she said” situation.

However, whether Rachel receives her desired therapy or not, she probably won’t make a Pump Rules return. She told outlets she didn’t “see a path forward because it’s not a healthy dynamic.” That said, she could make a reality TV return one day. If she had it her way, she might enter a competition show. But nothing more than that.
