There are tons of forgotten cast members who have blazed through the eight seasons of Vanderpump Rules — but Frank Herlihy stands out above the rest. The then-heartthrob turned heads during the early aughts of the Bravo hit show when he started dating Stassi Schroeder amid one of her breakups with Jax Taylor. But the former SUR bartender was gone as quickly as he came … which begs the question: What ever happened to Frank? Keep scrolling to learn what the Vanderpump Rules alum is up to today.

When Did Frank Herlihy Leave ‘Vanderpump Rules’?

After a short-yet-explosive fling with “The Good The Bad The Baby” podcast ​cohost during season 1 of the series, owner Lisa Vanderpump cut Frank’s ties with the crew when she fired him in a bombshell scene. A patron threw a drink in the blond hunk’s face, which led Lisa to ask for answers. When Frank admitted he’d been rude to the customer, the entrepreneur sacked him on the spot.

Is Frank Herlihy Still Friends With His ‘Pump Rules’ Co-Stars?

After Frank’s departure from the show, the VPR OG claimed on her podcast, “Straight Up With Stassi,” that her ex-boyfriend attempted to sell a sex tape the couple made when they were together.

Frank never publicly responded to the claims.

Jax, who was a part of the love triangle with Stassi and Frank, reflected on his Vegas altercation during the Next Level Basic author’s birthday.

“For some reason, was just amped to try to get [Stassi] back,” Jax said during a March 2023 episode of the “When Reality Hits With Jax & Brittany” podcast alongside his wife, Brittany Cartwright. “I don’t know if it’s just because a guy moved in … I’m not the type of guy that loses a girl to a guy. Doesn’t happen ever.”

He continued, “That guy ended up being a whacko, by the way. Like, he went off the deep end, he ended up in some crazy… I don’t know, whatever. But yeah, anyway long story short, I showed up to Vegas unannounced and I showed up to where they were having Stassi’s birthday unannounced. Obviously, production knew, and I just came in guns blazin’, like ‘I’m f–kin here, what’s goin’ on?’”

Where Is Frank Herlihy Now?

To be totally honest, the one-time reality star has flown pretty far under the radar since his time on Pump Rules. In 2016, E! reported that the former bartender had moved to Santa Monica, California and was completely moved on from the show that gave him his 15 minutes of fame.

More recently, in 2018, Stassi revealed on her podcast that two fans approached her at SUR and explained that they knew Frank — and that he was still in the food and beverage business and working in a deli in New York at the time. My, how the mighty have fallen.

Not only is Frank living privately in real life, but on social media, too. The former Bravo star seemingly does not have an Instagram account and hasn’t made a public Facebook post since 2017 when he changed his profile picture.
