I feel like I’m going insane watching Vanderpump Rules and it honestly is really uncomfortable. I’m supposed to believe that Lala wants to be friends with Tom Sandoval after she has read him for filth for years?
Two episodes ago she called him a groomer. She compared him to Randall, who she seems to incredibly traumatized by, but now she wants to form a deep friendship with him? Give me a break, Lauren from Utah.
Jo is supposed to be welcomed into the group but it was ok that she knew about the affair and moved in with Schwartz when the divorce was just fresh?
It’s a double standard for Katie to hook up with Max but Schwartz was allowed to hook up with Raquel 4 months after they separated? Schwartz can be upset about Max but Katie can’t be upset that Scheana and Schwartz made out 12 years ago when they were dating and the two of them just lied for years?
*Let’s not forget this was the same time Scheana was spreading Stassi’s sex tape around which is why Stassi left the show and caused a rift between her and Katie. Scheana has also been working nonstop to get back in Katie’s good graces, and was a bridesmaid in her wedding but never thought to just mention that she made out with Tom? Imagine if someone made out with Shay when they were engaged and just didn’t tell her for years? This is a woman who still talks about Eddie Cibrain and John Mayer.
Lala can say that any straight man triggers her and reminds her of Randall but Ariana needs to get over being cheated on by Sandoval 4 months after she found out?
I would love to see what Lala would do if she actually owned the house with Randall and people told her she should just leave it. I wonder what Lala thinks about Jax making Brittany and Cruz leave their house and up the baby’s routine? I would love to know if Lala would feel the same if that was Ocean.
In what world are we living in? Why are the producers forcing us to believe this exhausted, outdated and misogynistic narrative? Why are Katie and Ariana the villains?
If my partner of 10 years fucked my best friend in my house while I was at my grandmother’s funeral, you would have to come visit me behind bars because I’d be in jail for murder. If I finally found my voice and self worth, and divorced the bastard who cheated on me multiple times and chose his loser best friend over me repeatedly, and I was told I was bitter and needed to move on because I’m miserable, I would rock some people in the face.
The way these two powerful, beautiful, smart women are being forced to make themselves small to please the likes of Lauren and Scheana, two of the most insecure mistresses I’ve ever seen in my life, is disgusting.
Andy said Lala is the voice of the people and I’m going to need Father Cohen to take that back right now because in no way does Lala represent me or any of the sane Bravo fans.
Ariana and Katie have barely said a word this season; they haven’t raised their voices, they haven’t made any ultimatums…they’re just putting down boundaries. They’re filming in the same places as Sandoval, they’re doing their jobs…they don’t need to be best friends with him to make the show work. As adults, they are allowed to say what works for them and what doesn’t.
Yes, Ariana said 3 weeks after her life fell apart that she would not be friends with anyone if they were friends with Tom, but it seems that her tune has changed which makes sense. The dust has settled and things are calmer, but she is allowed to pull away from a friendship if she doesn’t feel like someone has her best interest at heart.
Stassi said on her podcast after Scandoval that Tom was always protected by production, that she was always put in situations that made her uncomfortable for the sake of moving the show along. Ariana and Katie are older, stronger, and honestly bigger than the show (at least Ariana is) and they don’t need to accept these things anymore. The show doesn’t need the same format as it did in seasons 2-3.
Let Ariana and Katie set their boundaries, they’re literally not hurting anyone.
What are your thoughts? Am I insane for thinking we’re being gaslit into believing Ariana and Katie are evil?
