PHEW.
That was a close one.
Earlier in the week, we were forced to wonder what a season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills would be like without Lisa Vanderpump.
Would she really leave the show that made her famous?
It felt like a strong possibility after Vanderpump met with network executives to discuss her future and how much money it would take to retain her entertaining services for Season 7.
According to the initial report, Vanderpump also had issues with the program’s “negative vibes,” along with the ways in which certain co-stars “ganged up on her.”
In other words: she apparently had issues with everything that makes The Real Housewives franchise into an ongoing hit.
So… is she really out?
Not based on the latest information TMZ has gathered.
Production sources tell that celebrity gossip website that Vanderpump does have a list of demands.
You will not be able to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online with her as a series regular unless they are met.
However, the demands are not centered around her paycheck.
FIRST, Lisa wants the show to give a platform her work in the LGBT community.
SECOND, she would like a spotlight on all the work she does to combat AIDS.
THIRD, Vanderpump is seeking publicity for her fight to put a stop to the dog meat market in China.
The insider goes on to say that Bravo higher-ups have agreed to all of these demands and, as a result, Vanderpump will be back in the fold when the series returns.
Lisa didn’t even bring up the issue of other Housewives acting all jealous or mean because she understands this comes with the reality TV territory.
We don’t even know what to say here.
This all sounds way too rational and reasonable and not crazy.
How is Lisa Vanderpump a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member?!?
