A dramatic revelation has emerged from BravoCon, shedding light on the complex dynamics between Brittany Cartwright and her former boss, Lisa Vanderpump. In a candid interview with Decider, Cartwright opened up about her strained relationship with Vanderpump, leaving no stone unturned.
Cartwright's journey with Vanderpump began as a waitress at SUR during Season 5 of Vanderpump Rules. She remained a part of the show until Season 8, when she and her then-husband, Jax Taylor, announced their departure. Despite the show's continuation for three more seasons without them, Bravo recently announced a major shake-up, with Season 12 featuring an entirely new cast.
With Vanderpump hosting a screening of the upcoming season at BravoCon, Cartwright revealed why she won't be in attendance. She shared her disappointment, stating, "I wish them nothing but the best, but Lisa hasn't invited me to anything. She hasn't checked on me since my divorce, since my son's autism diagnosis, or since any of the major life events I've gone through. It's been ages since I've heard from her."
Cartwright, who is currently starring in the Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley, filed for divorce from Taylor in 2024 and recently shared that their son, Cruz, 4, was diagnosed with autism. According to Cartwright, Vanderpump has not reached out to her since either of these highly publicized life events.
"I have no ill feelings towards her. Lisa is all about who's bringing in the money at the moment, and that's not me right now," Cartwright explained. "I thought, at the very least, she'd reach out after my divorce, but hearing nothing from her has been upsetting."
Despite the apparent distance, Cartwright admitted that she has always admired Vanderpump. "I've always looked up to her as an incredible person, loved working with her and her charity, and tried to help wherever I could. But it's been four years since I've heard from her. Cruz is four now, and she's never once reached out."
This revelation has sparked a debate among fans, leaving many wondering about the true nature of their relationship and the reasons behind Vanderpump's silence. What do you think? Is there more to this story than meets the eye? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's discuss!
