It’s only been a week since the news that Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar Lisa Vanderpump might be getting another spin-off show, except this one will take her out of the restaurant and into the pound — literally and figuratively. The show in question would profile the 58-year-old’s dog charity facility, Vanderpump Dogs, and it seems as though her costar Lisa Rinnaisn’t too happy with how the possible spin-off has come to fruition. Scroll through the gallery to see what Rinna had to say about a potential furry feud.
“I’m a hustler. I make no bones about that. I think you get paid for what you do,” the 55-year-old began her in-depth Instagram Story on March 7. “So my feeling is if we indeed are servicing a spin-off we should be paid for it.”

“I am so happy for all of us to use this platform for makeup lines, bathing suit lines, network TV shows, restaurants, charities, clothing lines, fitness empires, you name it. I support these women 100 percent,” she continued.

“But if you are going to use our services without telling us — that we are playing out a storyline to launch a pilot for a new show and you don’t compensate us extra for that,” she continued.

“Yeah, I’m a hustler. I get paid for what I do,” Rinna concluded. “So if this indeed becomes another show, my lawyer will be calling.”

It seems as though Rinna feels the current plotline involving the dog charity that has been unfolding since the start of RHOBHseason 9 was mainly created to cater to a potential spin-off show revolving around the dog haven.

Their costar Dorit Kemsley has been under fire since the season started for giving up a dog she adopted from Vanderpump Dogs to a friend after the adoption didn’t work out — the dog ended up in a kill shelter, which obviously upset LVP.

Lisa’s employees at her dog charity have even been on camera with speaking roles — which wasn’t even the case with the Vanderpump Rules cast before their spin-off show blew up.

“Several of the other Housewives are pissed because they feel like they were used, and specifically Teddi Mellencamp and Dorit were thrown under the bus and into drama all so this spin-off could happen,” the source said.

“They are not happy about it and not happy that it’s happening with Lisa when she didn’t even show up for most of the season of filming,” the insider revealed.
“To not show up for work and not contact any of us for two and a half months? I’m so disappointed in that behavior,” she said. “She’s got 400 employees, I can’t imagine if one of her employees did that. They’d be fired. … There was no consequences.”
