And Jax left medication right next to where Laura-Leigh was sleeping. As if he was hoping she would fall off the wagon.

Jax is a terrible person. He doesn't deserve to be on tv again, and yet here he is. And he is profiting from it.

Meh. SAH is flourishing and VPR may have hit bumps, but is still huge.

There’s an interesting podcast interview with Laura-Leigh.

You can read the recap on Vanderpod Recaps, Instagram. 

Laura Leigh is drunk/fucked up on this podcast.  She’s supposed to be sober (even though she admits that she’s not sober 365 days/year.  I always felt bad for her but this interview was annoying.

Her accent is annoying, Her squeaky voice comes and goes.  She thinks that she was on the road to being Britney Cartwright.. she thought Jax wanted to marry her!  

I’ve never seen her act, is she good?  She went to Juliard.

I thought she sucked on Gossip Girl.

Yeah Jax may be an ass, but she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the bathroom for sex on camera.  I take her comments with many grains of salt, especially if she was drunk on the podcast.

If memory serves, she left the show for an "acting" career, but I assume nothing came of it because I haven't heard her name since.

I believe she said she was cast in a Jennifer Aniston movie!  I'm not a moviegoer myself, so I can't confirm if it ever actually happened 😄

We're the Millers. It was a watchable movie imo.

I saw Laura Leigh on an old Law and Order episode from the late 2000s (pre VR). She sounded like on VR- not a great acting voice, unless it's for a character part.

Just walked into a Ralph's grocery store by the floral department and was greeted by an entire display of Vanderpump flowers.

And a photo of LVP smelling her flowers. Or maybe she was just admiring them. 

Not sure why Lisa's flowers would be any different than flowers from a florist but LVP sure knows how to pimp herself out.

Ally confirms that she and James have broken up. 

Smart girl.

The prosecutors don't normally file charges when the victim is uncooperative, like Ally in this case.

ETA: Ally saved his career, or at least she tried.

The prosecutor was lenient with him. This is also because he didn't have any previous legal issues as far as I know (I didn't check), meaning other women didn't report incidents, so it was his first offense. People are not necessarily aware that only some DV incidents are reported to the authorities. What happened or said on a reality show, or social media (by Rachel, and Kristen) is not relevant. I wouldn't hire him if I were a Bravo producer, or anything else.

I agree. 

But I was just joking that, Ally’s incentive to pursue and stay with James, despite his abusive and aggressive behavior, has always been that he was on a TV show. If they aren’t going to let him (and her) appear on The Valley, there’s really no point.

I got the impression Ally was not that different from Rachel, in that both sought him out in hopes of riding his Bravolebrity coattails.

She knows his career might be over.

She traveled to the west edge of the Valley to see/meet him when he was a guest dj at a bar. This was not an accidental meeting.

Back in the day I thought it was clever of Raquel to claim she wanted to work at VDP Dogs instead of SUR!  And Ally likewise acted like she was all about the tarot, but they all just want to be on tv 😄

Someone on Reddit recently visited SUR... looking kinda dumpy.

This doesn't look like a Sexy Unique Restaurant.

I passed by many years ago. There is nothing impressive about it. Lisa managed to capitalize on the show fame. I read a lot of customers were fans of the show, mostly out of town tourists.

Wow, just when I thought LVP couldn't go any lower with her constant enabling. 

Kennedy and Lewber, 28, were “both being ridiculous and arguing,” which resulted in somebody calling the police. “She basically said, ‘Oh yes, take him away. It’ll teach him a lesson,'” Vanderpump told Us. “But no, he didn’t hurt her categorically. … She regrets what happened with how this blew up.”

I'm 100% with Kristen Doute on this one. LVP always sides with the men, it's always the women's fault. To condone James' behavior & publicly chastise Ally for daring to report it, is utterly ridiculous. What's next, it'll be Ally's fault if James continues to drink because she left him? F U, LVP.

[Marley]

No surprise there with Lisa. That is what she's saying to press she's prob saying worse in private.

[ZettaK]

It's fine according to LVP because James didn't seriously hurt her....

I found this on Reddit about the Two T’s in a Pod episode from February 18th, “The TWOT Seat: Alex Baskin” podcast

Quote

Any update on Vanderpump Rules? (timestamp: 30:14)

• Alex: We are getting set. We're really excited about it. We are not endeavoring to make the same show we made before. So it's a new group, all of whom are very interconnected and live together, work together, kind of figuring things out together, which is really the premise of the original Vanderpump Rules.
• Alex: But this is a different expression of it. It's a lot of fun. So we're trying to embrace what was great about the original. But I don't really consider it a reboot. I think that's the word that's thrown around. My view is it's a brand new group that work at the restaurant. And so it's a new series that carries on the legacy of the original.

Can you give us any update? Is there any former Vanderpump Rules cast members that will potentially get a spinoff? (timestamp: 31:05)

• Long pause
• Alex: Umm Well, I think all things are possible. There's nothing to announce. Obviously, we did that successfully on The Valley. And that second season is insane, by the way. So very excited about that. But that's what I would say.
• Alex: I mean, obviously, look, the Bravo universe is strong. You know, and sort of as Denise (Denise Richards) (can’t tell if he says proves, grooves, or moves) out as well, there's always an appetite to revisit the lives of the people who inhabit it. And so, you know, all things are possible.

And how about The valley? (Timestamp: 31:58)

• Alex: The only thing I can say is you will be absolutely gripped from the first minute and it never lets off. And it is the craziest season two of any show I've ever made. And I say that in a positive sense. It is fast paced. It is fascinating. It's relentless. It's the story behind some of the headlines that you've read. And then I'm glad things haven't leaked, you know? But like I'm not over promising.

It's the second season of The Valley, and I'm afraid nobody is going to be "natural", even the cast members who were new to reality content. They are seasoned professionals now. Even more reality tv veterans joined (Schwartz, Lala, Scheana) in bigger roles.
