We often hear tale of the edit being unfair to our favoritereality stars. But that doesn’t seem to besomething thatLisa Vanderpumpis ever going to blame things on. Vanderpump, who started her reality journey onThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, now has her very own slate of reality shows under her umbrella, namelyVanderpump Rulesand its subsequent spin-off shows. Soshe knows what an edit can do. In a newinterview with Bustleas she was back in England working onGordan Ramsey’s showFood Starsas a judge and for hernew showVanderpump Villa,she talked about how she feels about “blaming it on the edit.”
“I’ve never thought [production company] Evolution gave an unfair edit,” Vanderpump said. “They said I was probably one of the only people who’s never said ‘cut [this] out.’ I thought, well, if I get it wrong, I must have said it for a reason. I’ll learn from it.But sometimes [the show] was too mean for me.On my last scene inHousewives, I lost my mind and was just like, ‘Get the f*ck out of my house.'”
In the same interview, Vanderpump opened up about how she felt when she first auditioned for the show. “I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be here.I am not really cut out for reality television.’ I sat there, and they were like, ‘OK, what’s your sex life like?’ I said, ‘What do you mean, with my husband or with everybody else?’ I remember laughing at myself and thinking, ‘This is bullsh*t. Who talks like that?’ And Andy [Cohen] saw my tape, and he went, ‘I love her.’ I think it was me not caring and not putting pressure on myself, thinking, ‘I don’t care if I do this.'”
