Lisa Vanderpump admits she confronted Kevin Lee over his work with Kyle Richards
Lisa Vanderpump reunited with Kevin Lee on Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas, where she confronted Lee over his work for “enemy” Richards.
She said, “I had to tell him off first, and he still didn’t get it,” referring to Lee’s explanation of a business decision.
Vanderpump said, “I was like, ‘No, it’s not. Let me explain it to you. If I had another party planner on the show, how would you feel?” Lee said, “I’d be terrible.”
She replied, “There you go. I think you always have to reverse things to people and put somebody in your position, and then they understand it, right?” (via Bravo)
In Episode 1, she explained she had considered Lee a close friend and appreciated his work over the years. Lee has planned parties for Vanderpump for years. She added, “And then, suddenly, I see him fraternizing with the enemy. It’s somebody that hurt me badly, scr**ed me over badly, and he’s doing her party without telling me. It was like, ‘What the f**k?’”
Vanderpump invited Lee to work on her namesake Las Vegas hotel despite the tension between them. During their meeting for work, Vanderpump noted they had not seen each other for long, and Lee admitted she was mad at him. When asked whether he knew why she was mad, Lee added that his work for Richards was just about business.
Vanderpump said, “I know, but it was Kyle, somebody that hurt me badly, f**ked me over. When I see you working with her, when I introduced you to this whole situation because you were that close to me with Pandora’s wedding… I always thought of you like family.”
Lee planned SoFi Stadium White Party for Richards during RHOBH Season 13 finale. Vanderpump also emphasized how much loyalty matters to her, explaining that disappointment from close friends can hurt.
