Kristen Doute took aim at Lisa Vanderpump on Instagram after seeing that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum had dissed Scheana Shay during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live last Thursday.
After being asked about Scheana’s claim that she would be spilling “tea” about Lisa, 64, in her book, My Good Side: A Memoir, which hits stores in July, Lisa accused Scheana, 39, of using her and poked fun at her former employee by suggesting she didn’t have “anything else to say” — before calling on fans to “stop cyber bullying” the cast of Vanderpump Villa amid season two.
“That’s probably just to sell the book because she hasn’t got anything else to say,” Lisa told host Andy Cohen, 56, on the May 1 episode of WWHL. “I’ve heard she’s said something nasty recently. She said something like I only call her when I need something. True that. I have 600 people I work with.”
Lisa then shared that the last time she called Scheana was to offer her an invite to her grandson Teddy’s birthday.
“That’s when I’ve called her,” she stated.
After the clip was shared on Instagram, Kristen spoke out, shading Lisa’s “ego” and applauding Scheana.
“What an ego response. I’m proud of [Scheana] for speaking her truth. Not an easy thing to do,” Kristen wrote, prompting a response from Scheana.
“ily!!!” Scheana replied.
Meanwhile, on Lisa’s own page, she reacted to the recent bullying her Vanderpump Villa cast had received by begging viewers to “uplift, not tear down.”
“To all of our wonderful fans: I’m so grateful for your passion and support for my shows. But I must say this—no one deserves to be bullied, harassed, or targeted online. The cast members are human beings, with real feelings, doing their best in a high-pressure environment. Healthy conversation is welcomed, but cruelty is not. Let’s uplift, not tear down. Kindness always wins,” she wrote, along with a hashtag for “Stop Cyber Bullying.”
Following the sharing of the statement, however, fans reacted to the irony.
“LV, the phone call is coming from inside the house,” one person stated as another told Lisa to “stop bullying women.”
“Practice what you preach,” another declared.
And a third asked, “Like when you bully, harass, or publicly target your former staff and cast mates in comments?”
“People inside glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and you literally live in a glass house. The messaging of this post isn’t the issue, it’s who is saying it,” they added.
Vanderpump Villa season two is currently streaming on Hulu.
