Lisa Vanderpump Reacts To Co-Stars' 'Petty & B*tchy' Trash Talking: 'This Is The Toughest Year Of My Life'
Feb. 12 2014, Published 6:31 a.m. ET
Lisa Vanderpump has become the resident punching bag on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills – but she’s trying to stay strong during what she calls “the toughest year” of her life.
In a new interview with Star, on newsstands Wednesday, the 53-year-old British beauty admits she’s feeling the heat but doesn’t understand how she suddenly became everybody’s enemy.
“It was tough. The other Housewives definitely succeeded in making things difficult for me — but I won’t be affected by their petty, b-tchy remarks,” Vanderpump says.
“The only way to get through all of their mean comments is to ignore them. I just pretend it doesn’t exist.”
On RHOBH, Lisa’s former BFF Brandi Glanville has cut off all communication with the sexy restaurateur — and the other Housewives have followed suit, trashing her on talk shows and Twitter.
Lisa claims she’s trying to take the high road.

“I believe that tweeting is a great way to communicate with fans — not a good way to put down your castmates. It would be easy for me to say something bad back to these people, but if it comes to that for me, there is no point anymore in continuing on the show.
Lisa says her fans are helping her keep things in perspective.
“The viewers have been so supportive,” she says. “They’re getting me through all of this.
“Being attacked really has been tough, but for the most part I feel lucky. I try not to take myself too seriously,” she added.
