Lisa Vanderpump has revealed a dramatic shake-up ahead of Vanderpump Rules Season 12. The restaurateur confirmed that one employee will be fired from SUR restaurant early in the season, setting the tone for Bravo’s reboot of the long-running reality series.
Vanderpump’s Philosophy on Management
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Vanderpump explained her approach to giving staff second chances. She noted that longtime employees often receive more leeway than new hires, but emphasized that customer experience remains her top priority.
The firing will reportedly take place within the first two episodes of the new season. Vanderpump hinted that the employee’s performance did not meet SUR’s standards, creating immediate drama for the rebooted storyline.
Returning to Grassroots Origins

A Fresh Era for the Bravo Hit
The reboot aims to refresh the series with new faces and renewed workplace tensions. Vanderpump’s confirmation of an early staff firing signals a return to the high-stakes drama that made the show a Bravo staple.
