Lisa Vanderpump’s Grudge Against Kyle Richards Will Never Die

Lisa Vanderpump has been a lot of things in her life, from attempted actress and music video starlet to restauraneur and philanthropist. One thing that remains consistent about the Bravo darling is that Lisa's grudges have spanned across shows like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Vanderpump Villa.

Lisa's been known to rectify some past strained relationships, such as rekindling her mother-daughter dynamic with Stassi Schroeder and welcoming her on to Season 2 of Vanderpump Villa. However, that's not to say that there isn't a lot of groveling, and it's never coming from Lisa's end. Lisa's a brilliant businesswoman and media savant, so she knows she should forever have her Christian Louboutin on the neck of her enemies to maintain relevancy and cash flow, especially when it comes to nemesis Kyle Richards.

Lisa's Petty With a Self-SURving Purpose

Recently on Watch What Happens Live!, Andy Cohen brought up to Lisa that Kyle was looking to buy Channing Tatum’s old house, which just so happens to be right across the street from her. While he was just looking for some casual remarks, maybe a couple of petty jabs, Lisa couldn't resist verbally dismantling Kyle. She even brought up that Kyle visited the house four times and put in an offer that got rejected, insinuating that Kyle was obsessed with her. Honestly? Kyle kind of deserves it as she’s been holding RHOBH hostage for quite a while now as she refuses to speak on her relationship with singer Morgan Wade and it’s not like the demise of her marriage with Mauricio came out of nowhere.

LVP's penchant for grudges doesn't end with Kyle. Take one look at her social media activity, and you will see a woman who nurses her on-screen rivalries far longer than she's ever really nursed her on-screen friendships. Lisa follows every single enemy of those she's been accused of mean-girling: she follows Tom Sandoval, but not Ariana Madix, she follows Joyce Girard, but obviously her feud with Brandi Glanville lives on, and she follows Mohammad and Gigi Hadid, but not Yolanda, who she had an admittedly superficial friendship with. She's never been known to take shots in an ostentatious, low-brow arena like the comment section or her Instagram stories, but the pettiness speaks for itself. Even though Lisa thrives in a space where she gets to be quietly catty, she still recently posted an Instagram about the dangers of cyberbullying.

Lisa Has No Problem Standing On Her Own

While Lisa's following list speaks volumes, she saves her best work for interview clips that are ripe to go viral. During the aforementioned interview on Watch What Happens Live!, she pulled no punches when talking about Scheana Shay, who recently got vulnerable on her podcast Scheananigans about how Lisa only really reaches out to her when she needs something. Lisa dismissed Scheana's claims, saying that she has an upcoming memoir, My Good Side, coming out soon and likely wants to stoke the flames of lingering tension. Lisa also could not help but take jabs at Kristen Doute as well, who is currently reigning Season 2 of The Valley, a show that Lisa produces. She questioned the paternity of Kristen's baby both this past April and in December 2024, feigning like she had no idea she was pregnant or engaged. Kristen backed Scheana, both on her Instagram stories and pop culture podcastThe Bitch Bible, asserting that Lisa's always been like this and that Scheana will be spilling "a lot of tea" about Lisa in her forthcoming book.

What's interesting is while Lisa, an astrological Cancer, has been accused of coddling the likes of Tom Sandoval and James Kennedy, both proverbial cancers, she has never directly acknowledged the valid criticisms from fans, coworkers, or victims of their toxicity and abuse. She will gleefully put herself in the position to throw daggers at women instead because it garners headlines and she never has to own any wrongdoing. Lisa has been called out a lot as of late now that the former cast of Vanderpump Rules has been dismantled and women like Rachel Leviss, Ally Lewber, and Kristen have come forward about James' abuse and how Lisa enabled him.

Even Nick Viall took her to task on The Viall Files, but she remained mum on her support of James. While Lisa's jabs at Kyle or Scheana keep Bravo fans satiated, you can't help but wonder why she will take jabs at women that currently aren't fan favorites but protects men like James and Tom, who are some of the most hated men on television.
