Lisa Vanderpump clamped down on claims that she paid Vanderpump Rules cast members to sleep together to increase ratings. Lisa, the CEO of SUR, the West Hollywood restaurant employing the mostly-dramatic Vanderpump Rules cast, has come under fire for her supposed involvement in Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss' cheating scandal. While the Bravo stars have been criticized for cheating on Tom's girlfriend Ariana, Lisa seems to have a controversial view, appearing to defend the duo in her latest appearance on Watch What Happens Live. Her shrewd perspective on the subject led her The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Teddi Mellencamp to accuse her of orchestrating the affair.
Following Teddi's allegations, Vanderpump Rules' Lisa Vanderpump took to Twitter to debunk the claims. "I didn't pay cast members to sleep together for ratings," she tweeted. "They do that on their own." She proceeded to tag the allegations as "fake news," before wishing her followers a "beautiful day." Lisa’s clarification quickly set fans against Teddi for spinning the rumor mills.
Twitter user @Kathywill1951 wrote, "Teddi needs to be 'accountable' for all her false statements. We know she's a known liar." While many condemned Teddi's actions as an attempt "to be relevant," as @setislady said, others reassured Lisa that they never believed the lies, as @BB_Macs_World knew she "wouldn't do that to Ariana."
