AceShowbiz - Season 9 of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" focused heavily on the controversy surrounding Lisa Vanderpump, her Vanderpump Dogs and Dorit Kemsley. The drama started after it was revealed that Kemsley gave away Lucy Lucy Apple Juice, the dog she adopted Vanderpump's foundation, after she allegedly bit husband Paul and their two kids "a few times." However, the new owner didn't seem to want the puppy and sent Lucy to a shelter.
That wouldn't be a problem because neither Dorit nor LVP knew that the new owner of Lucy gave her to kill shelter, until Lisa Rinna shared her opinion on the matter. The actress apparently thought that the whole thing was a set-up by Lisa to make herself good since she had been urging everyone to just let it in the past. In Lisa's theory, the Puppy Gate was used to get Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp mad at Dorit because they used to have a history with the latter. "All Lisa Vanderpump wants to do is punish Dorit about the dog. She can't do it so she had those boys do it. She doesn't want to get her hands dirty," said Lisa.
Things went further south when Teddi admitted that she did orchestrate the Puppy Gate with John Blizzard under LVP's instruction. Teddi shared she was feeling betrayed when she saw LVP trying to get her hands clean so that she could be "relevant" and be "the hero to Dorit." LVP vehemently denied the accusation, insisting that she was never "the one who brought it out in the dog center."
As for Kyle, she was initially torn between believing in LVP or Teddi, but she eventually thought Teddi told the truth. The whole cast wanted LVP to apologize for the mess she started but she refused to do so. LVP even decided to skip season 9 reunion altogether and exited the show.
