May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

As Lisa Vanderpump's career continued to pick up steam thanks to her various roles in TV shows, music videos, and advertisements, she found herself in a volatile relationship. Talking to Daily Express about an abusive ex, she recalled, "He grabbed me by the neck and I thought: 'OK, I'm done!' I thought he wasn't going to change, and got out as quickly as I could." 

She's opened up about this past relationship before. When host Andy Cohen asked about this piece of her life story at The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Season 6 reunion, she replied, "I was 19, and I was threatened and physically hurt." And in a Bravo blog entry, she shared, "I have encountered abuse myself at the hands of an ex-boyfriend many years ago. It would seem redundant for me, personally, to relive that traumatic time." Vanderpump also wrote that she feels lucky that she "had the strength to walk away" from the situation. "Many don't have the resources or opportunity to leave, and I am thankful to be in a loving, secure relationship with a man who is my protector, rather than aggressor," she said.
