The Original 'Vanderpump Rules' Cast Is Saying Goodbye After Bravo Announces New Lineup

LOADINGERROR LOADINGThe stars of “Vanderpump Rules” are officially saying goodbye after 11 indelible seasons.Fans have waited with bated breath for confirmation that the hit reality TV series would return after a viral cheating scandal threatened to ruin the show’s dynamic, only for Bravo to confirm Tuesday that the series will indeed come back — but with an all-new, as yet unannounced cast.Now, some of the show’s original stars — Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, James Kennedy, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix — are sharing bittersweet farewells on Instagram.Advertisement “The end of an era, and the start of something new,” Shay wrote Tuesday.
