The latest episode of “Vanderpump Rules” addressed fan theories about the authenticity of James Kennedy’s reunion with his dog Graham, revealing the behind-the-scenes details of how Lisa Vanderpump facilitated the surprise reunion, amidst broader discussions about the dog’s custody and well-being following Kennedy’s split from Rachel Leviss.
Oh, the drama of “Vanderpump Rules” never ceases, does it? Just when you think you’ve seen it all, bam! Another curveball. This time it’s about James Kennedy and his dog, Graham. Fans were all up in arms, questioning the timeline of their heartwarming reunion. Did Bravo pull a fast one on us?
Lisa Vanderpump, the queen of pup rescues, was at the center of it all. She orchestrated this reunion at her Vanderpump Dogs center. But wait, there’s a twist. Scheana Shay spilled the beans that James and Graham had already reunited during a cast trip to Lake Tahoe. Talk about a plot twist!
And then there’s this moment. Picture it: Lake Tahoe, Lisa descending the stairs with Graham in tow. The cast was gobsmacked. Lala thought she was being punked. James was all heart eyes, and Sandoval? He was just sitting there, probably contemplating life or his next cocktail creation.
Segue to a bit of a tangent – ever noticed how TV and film crews miss the odd Starbucks cup in a medieval fantasy world? Fans do love catching those slip-ups. It’s like a sport at this point.
Back to the drama. Some folks thought this whole dog reunion was a scripted setup. A way to weave Rachel “Raquel” Leviss back into the storyline. Because, of course, reality TV can’t just be about real life, right? It needs that extra sprinkle of drama.
But then, the show aired the scene everyone was talking about. Lisa did indeed bring Graham to Tahoe on her private jet. James was like, “I couldn’t get Graham on my flight, but Lisa’s got this.” And just like that, Graham was back in the limelight.
Graham wasn’t just any dog. He was a Vanderpump Rules veteran, having appeared on the show multiple times. James and Rachel had co-parented him until their split. Post-breakup, Rachel took primary custody until… well, things took a turn.
Rachel decided to rehome Graham after a bit of a scandal and a stint in a mental health facility. She wanted him to be with a family well-versed in handling dogs with a bit of a temper. But then, Lisa swoops in and brings Graham to Tahoe, surprising James. Rachel was not pleased, to say the least.
She was especially miffed about the narrative that Graham was close to being put down. And she wondered, how on earth did Lisa manage to adopt Graham? Was it all just a ploy to get her back on the show?
Rachel has been vocal about her concerns with James caring for Graham. She even told Bethenny Frankel that James encouraged Graham’s biting habit. Not exactly Father of the Year material, according to her.
Despite the controversies, James was thrilled to have Graham back. He felt like it was fate, a cosmic reunion of sorts. Ally, James’s girlfriend, had her reservations. She was like, “Great, now I have to deal with Rachel’s dog? Can’t shake this girl off.”
The cast’s reaction in Tahoe was mixed. Most were happy for James, except Sandoval, who had his doubts. But he chose to keep the peace, not wanting to stir the pot any further.
And there you have it. Another day, another drama in the world of “Vanderpump Rules.” Catch the next episode to see what happens next in this never-ending saga of love, pets, and reality TV shenanigans.
