Breaking news! Hold onto your cocktail shakers because the Vanderpump Rules rollercoaster has hit a temporary pause button. That’s right, Andy Cohen, the wizard behind the Bravo curtain, has spilled the tea that Season 12 won’t be gracing our screens this summer.
Now, usually, this reality TV gem struts its stuff between May and August, but lo and behold, production has hit the snooze button. What’s the deal? Well, gather ’round, because Andy spilled the piping hot gossip on his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live.
In his classic Andy style, he dropped the bombshell with all the finesse of a bulldozer in a china shop. “Remember how we used to play this game with the Housewives? Yeah, we’d be like, ‘Let’s give the cameras a little vacay, let them collect dust for four or five months, and boom, drama!’ Life happens, people change, and we want front-row seats,” Andy chuckled.
The plot thickens like a good gravy. Turns out, the production pause isn’t just about letting the cameras cool off; it’s also about giving the Vanderpump crew a chance to catch their breath after the Scandoval fallout. Ariana, bless her fiery soul, is still rocking the “violently angry” stage after being cheated on. And who can blame her? Andy’s practically handing out empathy like candy on Halloween night.
“I mean, seriously, we jumped back in the ring just a few months after Ariana discovered the infidelity bombshell. So, naturally, she’s still steaming like a runaway locomotive. Let’s give the girl a break, shall we?” Andy reasoned, his wisdom rivaling that of a reality TV sage.
In the grand scheme of things, sometimes you gotta let life marinate like a fine wine, or in this case, a dumpster fire of drama. Cameras can wait, but the chaos? That’s a one-time-only deal. So, let’s raise our glasses to Vanderpump Rules: the gift that keeps on giving, even when the cameras take a coffee break. Cheers to that! 🍹
