Lisa Vanderpump shaded Kyle Richards’ niece Paris Hilton, referencing her “porno” with ex Rick Salomon on Lisa’s new Hulu show, Vanderpump Villa.
Lisa also shared how the series will differ from Vanderpump Rules, and she revealed why the process was “difficult.”
On the new show, Lisa shaded Paris in a confessional.
“Before the festivities, we have A Night in Paris,” said Lisa, via @thetalkofshame on Instagram, alluding to the name of the adult video.
“Not the porno, this would be the dinner.”
In an interview with TV Insider, Lisa addressed how her show in the French countryside differs from Vanderpump Rules.
“[It’s] so totally different because they’re all living together. They don’t have a history,” she said. “A couple of them do. There was the existing couple of relationships. But also, to add the guests and to add that layer and then to add the aesthetics, it just made it a very different experience.”
“There was a few tears. There’s a lot of up and downs,” said Lisa of the cast, which she handpicked. “It was very, very carefully thought out. I needed some people that I knew I could really rely on … I think you have to manage people a lot more when you’re living with them and you can’t replace people … I’m not saying we didn’t, but you’ll have to see the show, too. It was quite difficult when you’ve got young people all living together.”
Lisa claimed the casting was a serious endeavor.
“It wasn’t like we were just looking for a reality cast. Everybody had to be an expert in their field,” she said. “I had no time for training. We had guests coming. So, it was a unique experience for sure. And it was complicated. It was complicated. They will talk to that. They all lived in very close proximity.”
Lisa said the chateau is not a “celebrity situation,” suggesting her famous friends will not make appearances.
“It was about people’s real heartfelt stories. So we wanted the show to have a lot of heart to it,” she added. “They all kind of brought something special, and it was how the staff kind of reacted with it.”
