Andy Cohen weighs in on ‘Vanderpump Rules’ taking a sudden ‘break’
told Page Six on Tuesday that production for Season 12 was put on pause despite typically filming in the summer months.The network felt like the cast needed a break from the cameras in wake of Scandoval, which resulted in additional filming over the last two seasons.“Everyone needs a moment to decompress after two very rough, intense seasons,” the source said.“The cast is looking forward to a break from filming the show.”Cohen, 55, expanded on the issue on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live.” “I think that, you know, I was talking to Ariana [Madix] about this on the after-show last night,” Cohen said, referring to one of the women at the center of “Scandoval,” the name for the scandal when cast member Tom Sandoval, 40, cheated on his then-girlfriend Madix, 38, with their then-mutual cast mate Rachel Leviss, 29. The affair was unearthed in March 2023.
