I'm dating your ex-boyfriend.' … She's always been a go-getter.” Another RHONY and RHOBH crossover? Brandi Glanville and Kristen Taekman!

Lisa doesn’t care. She’s never messaged me about it or asked me about it,” Stassi told Us in May 2020 before she was fired from Vanderpump Rules. “It’s not like Teddi and I sit around talking about [Lisa]. Do you know what I mean? It’s a completely separate thing. It’s a completely separate friendship.” Scroll through for a list of Bravo crossover friends:

It was pretty wild when we walked in, things were just running around everywhere. It was definitely an experience. It was a really funny day.”
