Lisa Vanderpump is unbothered by Raquel Leviss’ claims that her dog Graham Cracker was used to get her back on Vanderpump Rules. Leviss had accused Vanderpump of rehoming the dog for a storyline, but Vanderpump stated that the dog was brought to her attention and she takes her dog foundation and rescuing dogs seriously. Leviss rehomed Graham after ending her engagement with James Kennedy, and Vanderpump’s dog foundation later adopted Graham and rehomed him with Kennedy again.
Lisa Vanderpump is unfazed by Raquel Leviss’ accusations about her dog Graham Cracker and remains unbothered by Leviss’ comments, while Leviss claimed that Vanderpump tried to convince her to return to the show.
Lisa Vanderpump shrugs off claims from Rachel “Raquel” Leviss that her dog Graham Cracker was used to try to get her back on Vanderpump Rules. The Vanderpump Rules season 11 premiere party found Vanderpump speaking to Us Weekly about Leviss’ accusations of relocating Graham for a story line. Vanderpump replied, “Well, she also said that she’s Ariana [Madix]’s best friend. That’s how I respond to that.”
Graham Cracker made intermittent appearances on Vanderpump Rules throughout the seasons, with Leviss and then-boyfriend James Kennedy being the pet’s primary caretakers. Later, when Leviss checked herself into a mental health facility, she decided to rehome Graham, claiming that Vanderpump tried to convince her to come back to the show to tell her side of the story. In response, Vanderpump stated, “She should get all the facts before she kind of makes these statements. And I don’t think anybody’s really trusting what she says.”
Leviss later alleged, “Basically, the story that they put out there is that Lisa told everyone that I surrendered my dog at a kill shelter and he was hours away from being euthanized.” Nevertheless, Vanderpump doesn’t seem fazed by Leviss’ remarks, telling Us, “The lion doesn’t care what the sheep are doing.” Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules is set to premiere on Bravo Tuesday, January 30, at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to stream on Peacock the next day.
