One day before the season 9 premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bravo released the cast’s new taglines — and the women did not hold back!
“You can stab me in the back, but whilst you’re there, kiss my ass,” Lisa Vanderpump declares in her new catchphrase, seemingly referring to her falling-out with her castmates.
Us Weekly broke the news in October 2018 that the 58-year-old restaurant owner was on the outs with her costars, including Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne. A source told Us at the time that Vanderpump was arguing with Dorit after the Beverly Beach designer reportedly brought a dog she adopted from Vanderpump Dogs to a shelter.
“The women feel like Lisa doesn’t want to face them and confront the situation,” the source said at the time. “She has kept her distance and now that’s creating more problems with the cast.”
Another insider revealed that Kyle, a longtime friend of Vanderpump, got into a heated argument with the Vanderpump Rules star’s husband, Ken Todd. Fans saw a glimpse of the fight during the season 9 trailer.
The rest of the cast’s taglines are also extremely telling about the new season.
“In Beverly Hills, the truth always has a away of rising to the top,” says Kyle, who revealed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen earlier this month that she and Vanderpump have not spoken since her fight with Ken.
Newcomer Denise Richards also promises to bring the drama. “My problem with the tabloids? My real life is so much juicier,” she says.
Rinna, meanwhile, got her new tagline — “In the game of life, it’s Rinna take all” — from one of her Twitter followers.
“Thank you @joewritesthings for suggesting such a fabulous tagline this season,” the Melrose Place alum tweeted on Monday, February 11.
Check out the rest of the taglines below:
“Most people talk about their fantasies; I’m living mine,” Erika proclaims.
“In business and in life, I wear many hats — and hairstyles,” Dorit, who is known for switching up her hairdo, says.
“I’m not afraid of hard work, but I’ll never do your dirty work,” Teddi vows.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns to Bravo Tuesday, February 12, at 9 p.m. ET.
