Lisa Vanderpump spills the tea on the new Vanderpump Rules Season 8 cast members, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni‘s, racist tweets. Spoiler alert- the restaurateur is NOT here for racism and bigotry.
In a statement to People, Lisa explained, “I do not condone any of the heinous comments made in the past by Max and Brett and I am glad they understand the severity of their offenses and have shown utmost remorse and contrition.”
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member continued, “I embrace a community of diversity and do not tolerate bigotry of any form within my workplace. Max and Brett are both appropriately ashamed of their past obnoxious teenage arrogance and casual use of unacceptable terms. While both have now matured as adults, they have shown remorse for their prior reckless defamatory statements.”
The animal rights advocate concluded her statement by saying, “I do sincerely believe both have learned the power and impact words can have, and I have every hope this will be a lifelong lesson for them as we move into this new decade.” Let’s hope she’s right.
