It’s a sad reality check when a former employee’s value is measured solely by their financial contributions. Brittany Cartwright, a former waitress at SUR and star of ‘Vanderpump Rules’, opened up about her strained relationship with her ex-boss, Lisa Vanderpump, at BravoCon.
But here’s where it gets personal: Brittany’s life has been through major changes, from her divorce from Jax Taylor to her son Cruz’s autism diagnosis. Yet, Lisa, who Brittany once admired and worked closely with, hasn’t reached out in years. Brittany’s words reveal a deeper issue: “She likes who is bringing her money … And that’s not currently me.” This statement highlights the transactional nature of their relationship, leaving us wondering if genuine connections can survive in the spotlight.
Brittany’s journey on ‘Vanderpump Rules’ spanned from Season 5 to Season 8, but her time on the show didn’t guarantee a lasting bond with Lisa. As the show moves forward with a new cast for Season 12, Brittany’s absence from the panel speaks volumes. And this is the part most people miss: When fame and fortune are at play, are personal connections dispensable?
Brittany, now starring in the spinoff ‘The Valley’, holds no ill will towards Lisa. But her experience raises questions about the authenticity of relationships in the public eye. Is it common for mentors to become distant when their mentees’ lives take a different turn? Or is this a unique case of a powerful figure prioritizing business over personal ties?
Controversy arises when we consider the impact of fame on human connections. Do you think Brittany’s situation is an isolated incident, or does it reflect a broader trend in the entertainment industry? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let’s explore the complexities of relationships where money and influence reign supreme.
