It was anything but a quiet night on Watch What Happens Live when Lisa Vanderpump made her return to the Bravo spotlight.
The restaurant queen and reality TV icon brought her signature wit, a touch of sass, and absolutely no filter as she weighed in on some old Bravo drama — and stirred the pot just enough to remind everyone she’s still the queen bee.
At 64, Vanderpump continues to dominate the entertainment and hospitality game, and her latest appearance proved she’s not ready to fade into the background any time soon.
The Woman Behind the Empire Still Has Fire
Before we dive into the Bravo gossip, let’s not forget who Lisa Vanderpump is. Born in London and now a beloved Hollywood restaurateur, she and her husband Ken Todd built a nightlife empire with hotspots like SUR, Villa Blanca, and TomTom.
On top of that, she turned her staff into celebrities through Vanderpump Rules, launching the careers of reality stars like Jax Taylor, Stassi Schroeder, Tom Sandoval, and Scheana Shay.
So, when LVP speaks, people — including Bravo fans — listen.
And on Thursday night, she had plenty to say.
Lisa Claps Back at Scheana Shay’s Memoir Tease
During the episode, Lisa took aim at Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay, who recently announced she’s writing a memoir and promised to spill some juicy “tea” about her former boss.
But Lisa wasn’t exactly shaking in her designer heels.
“Oh good Lord,” she sighed when a caller asked if Scheana had given her a heads-up about the book.
“That’s probably just to sell the book because she hasn’t got anything else to say.” Ouch.
She followed up with more shade: “I’ve heard she’s said some nasty things.
Like I only call her when I need something. True dat, right?”
Then, in classic LVP fashion, she delivered a cutting but cool explanation.
“I’ve got 600 people that work with me. The last time I needed her? I invited her to my house for Teddy’s birthday.”
The Kyle Richards House Situation Gets a Hilarious Roast
As if that wasn’t enough entertainment, Andy Cohen couldn’t resist bringing up another juicy tidbit.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards had claimed she “almost” bought a house across the street from Lisa.
Lisa’s reaction? Priceless.
“First thing I’d do is put my house on the market,” she quipped.
“However my doorbell would ring, it’d be, ‘Goodbye, Kyle.’”
From imaginary electric fences to weaponized attack swans, Lisa painted a hilarious (and slightly savage) picture of what it would be like to live next to her longtime frenemy.
She even joked that Kyle acts like she wants to sit on her lap.
“Doesn’t she get the message?” Lisa asked, exasperated.
And when Andy clarified that Kyle didn’t actually buy the house, Lisa took another swipe: “No, because the offer wasn’t accepted or what she says.
But she’s not always totally transparent — as we’ve seen on the show.”
Oh, and the kicker? That house used to belong to Channing Tatum.
Lisa admitted she once joked about digging a tunnel to get to him. “But he sold it,” she shrugged. Bravo gold.
Lisa Shows a Softer Side Reacting to Jax Taylor’s Addiction Struggles
While most of the episode was filled with sharp jabs and playful digs, Lisa did reveal her more serious and caring side when asked about Jax Taylor opening up about his addiction issues.
“It’s very upsetting, the whole thing,” she admitted.
Lisa was visibly emotional as she spoke about her hopes for him.
She emphasized the importance of aftercare, noting that it’s not just about going to rehab. “He’s got to do the work.
He’s got to really distance himself from people who are still doing that stuff.”
Clearly, despite the drama, Lisa still cares deeply about the people she helped usher into fame.
Still Reigning with Glitter, Grit, and a Killer Sense of Humor
Lisa Vanderpump may be known for her glitzy style, glamorous restaurants, and flawless one-liners, but she proved once again that she’s not just a character — she’s a force.
Whether it’s offering tough love to a struggling former cast member or throwing playful jabs at her frenemies, LVP knows how to keep people watching.
With memoirs on the way and rumors always swirling, one thing’s for sure — Lisa Vanderpump never goes out of style.
