LISA Vanderpump was accused of not supporting women after choosing not to attend the opening of Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney’s diner.
The Bravo stars officially opened their new burger joint, Something About Her, on Wednesday.

But when fans saw that Lisa, 63, wasn’t present at the pre-opening event last week, some criticized her for choosing not to support Ariana, 38, and Katie, 37.
“LVP hasn’t really written even a short story or Instagram post congratulating Katie and Ariana on opening the business after serving her brand for over 10 years…she doesn’t support women,” one written in Xold Twitter.
“Things she posted about: TomTom brunches, SUR brunches, DJ James Kennedy at SUR, etc,” they continued.
“I think she sent Penny to spy and report so LVP could mess with A&K,” a second theorized about the diner’s chef, Penny Davidi.

“You could see on their faces that they had no idea what LVP was talking about, so they got away with her nefarious plans for them. The best part is that now the viewers are behind her!”
“You nailed it. You could tell during the reunion that Ariana Katie + LVP weren’t vibing. Something happened. They have issues,” said a third.
“Her Instagram has been active and even promoting brunches in her stories, she could post that she is detail oriented and didn’t want to,” noted a fourth.
“She just doesn’t support Katie and Ariana,” a fifth said briefly.
“Or maybe she noticed Ariana’s skeptical look when Lisa said that a restaurant that stays open for ten years should be considered a success,” argued another.
LISA’S REPLY
When appearing in Page sixOn this week’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast to promote season 2 of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, Lisa revealed the reason she decided not to attend the pre-opening.
“I’ll give them a minute,” she shared.
“I don’t invite anyone to my restaurants for the first two weeks. I want a minute to sort out all the kinks before I say we’re open.
“They’re open, but let’s give them a minute,” Lisa explained.
SHOWING SUPPORT
Although Ariana and Katie invited friends and family to the grand opening event last week, only Tom Schwartz publicly promoted Katie and Ariana’s new business.
On Wednesday, the actor posted an Instagram Story on an orange background with white text.
“Shout out to @somethingabouther at their grand opening,” he wrote with a flower emoji.
“The campaign to place the muffuletta menu starts now.”
No other cast members wrote a congratulatory message on social media.
FAN THEORIES
Once again, fans rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their opinions on the frosty opening response.
“Tom Schwartz gives a shout out to Something About Her at his grand opening. He’s the only one in the #PumpRules cast so far,” he wrote.
“The most support he has ever shown Katie,” commented a second.
“Her incessant need to be loved is almost as exhausting as LaLa’s…well, just her in general,” a third chimed in, noting co-star Lala Kent, who was previously criticized by fans for hitting on Ariana at the reunion.

“Did any of them go to any of the openings, including the pre-openings? I don’t remember seeing any of them in anyone’s stories. Specifically LVP [Lisa Vanderpump]’, noted a fourth.
“I’m not surprised LFU [Lala Kent], [Tom] Scheana and Sandoval (obviously) weren’t going to be there, but I thought James Ally Schwartz and LVP would be there.”
“I’ll give him a brownie point; It’s better than nothing,” admitted a fifth.
After more than a year of delays and licensing issues, Ariana and Katie finally opened their diner.
