How can I watch Vanderpump Rules? Vanderpump Rules returned to Bravo for its 9th season in September. The show lost a large chunk of its original cast, including Stassi Schroeder, Brittany Cartwright, and Jax Taylor. As a result, ratings have been significantly lower than in previous seasons. Spoiler TV reported that the premiere drew in only 637,000 viewers — a staggering drop from past seasons. The show never addressed the casting shakeup, instead carrying on as though nothing happened. Fans believe the low ratings are behind the recent scandal involving LaLa and Randall. We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The US Sun team?

Her attorney described the allegations as "an unspeakable violation of human decency, respect, and of the privacy rights of the victims and their families.... He called for those who shared the photos to "face the harshest possible discipline, and that their identities be brought to light, to ensure that the photos are not further disseminated.... Vanessa's legal team stated: "Unable to defend the indefensible conduct of its employees who took and shared horrific photographs of Plaintiffs' deceased loved ones… the County has resorted to scorched-earth discovery tactics designed to bully Plaintiffs into abandoning their pursuit of accountability,... according to court documents seen by USA Today. It comes amid reports that Vanessa could be forced to take a test on her mental state after suing Los Angeles County.

"Plaintiffs cannot claim that they are suffering from ongoing depression, anxiety, and severe emotional distress and then balk at having to support their claims."
