Lisa Vanderpump reacted to Kristen Doute suggesting her daughter Pandora Sabo‘s accent is “fake” while appearing on a podcast on Tuesday.
As she also dished on Vanderpump Villa, sharing her favorite cast member and addressing the Hulu series’ potential second season, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 63, clapped back at Kristen, 41, shared her thoughts on the allegations against Andy Cohen, 56, and shaded Jax Taylor, 44.
“Pandy’s British. She’s a little confused,” Lisa said of Kristen on the June 18 episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat.
That said, Lisa did note that Pandora “sometimes” sounds more American.
“The only thing I think she might do is put on a little bit of an American accent when she’s with her American friends,” Lisa explained. “She went to school in the South of France for many years … She was in America till she was 8 and then she came back to America when she was 19. And her parents are British. They both have a British accent. She gets everything twisted, Kristen.”
Regarding the allegations against Andy, which have included Brandi Glanville‘s sexual harassment claims and Leah McSweeney‘s suggestion that she was pressured to relapse on The Real Housewives of New York City, Lisa said she “didn’t believe any of them.”
“I’m a big advocate of Andy Cohen. I love him. And I was very indignant about all these accusations coming against him,” she explained.
When she was then asked about Kristen getting messy on The Valley, Lisa, who produces the show, said she “expected” her to.
“I’m glad that she’s on the show. I’m glad that she’s being herself,” she admitted.
As for claims that she never liked Kristen, Lisa pointed out that it was “very nice” of her to put Kristen on Vanderpump Rules.
“I was very nice to her to put her on my show. I did bring the group to the casting … she was part of the group but I always felt Kristen was right in the middle of everything and liked to stir things up. Even as a waitress, she would make things more complicated than it was. That’s what I don’t like … But I didn’t dislike her,” she clarified. “I knew she was part of that friend group and I wanted her to be part of the cast.”
As Pump Rules fans well know, the show began in Lisa’s West Hollywood restaurant, SUR, and nearly everyone who is featured on the series worked there at some point in time. Over 10 years later, much of the group has moved on and started families. And, when it comes to potential SUR returns, Lisa isn’t on board with everyone returning to work at her restaurant.
“[Lala Kent], [Tom Schwartz], not Kristen, not Jax,” she said of who she would and wouldn’t want back.
While Lisa’s daughter has appeared on her shows on occasion, Lisa said Pandora would never want to follow in her reality star footsteps.
“Oh God, no. She wouldn’t,” Lisa confirmed. “She’s more of the mother in our relationship, super smart, chastises me all the time.”
When Vanderpump Villa was mentioned, Lisa said her favorite castmate is Marciano Brunette, 31, who is “so charming,” and said she “can’t answer” whether they’ll have a second season.
“But I think they loved it,” she added.
Continuing on the podcast, Lisa addressed potential regrets, saying, “I don’t have many regrets. I try to live my life with humor and grace and try to make the right decisions.”
