RHOBH: Lisa Vanderpump Remembers Adopting Max (Season 7, Episode 7) | Bravo 

Maggy Lee I always felt that Pandora was incredibly protective of him. Like when they adopted him she felt that he was her baby. That’s how a lot of older siblings feel.

His first introduction in the series was 'adopted' son. And so he remains till date. Also, "he's ours", I really find that usage of words rather odd. Sounds like he's their property or something. But then these guys are mega-rich and I wouldn't be least bit surprised if that is how it really is so.

I’ve always loved that! 🥰

@@bigbulk688 you’re thinking way too deep into this lol

@@user-wb1vm9ex4k Yeah some of us can do that. Too bad you can't.

They are very good hearted people and I met Lisa at her restaurant villa Blanca she’s very sweet

@@tylerj2113 you actually met her in person! You are so lucky, and it’s great that she’s sweet in person! 😌

When she got emotional you could see the love. His life could have turned out very different.

Me too...i dnt know why..😢😢😢

She is beautiful, so it’s sad to see her crying 😢

She can definitely be a pot stirrer behind the scenes but I don't fault her for that because its a tv show. I feel like thats what your supposed to do. I think once she invites you into her real life she is loyal AF (until you backstab her) but otherwise your fair game for tv drama.

@@suras8984 - I think with Lisa is that she can give as good as she gets, and sometimes give a lot more lol. Despite all the success and wealth they've built in their lives, underneath all the glitz and glam, they are still very grounded people. So she knows how to spot the difference between formalities and personality very, very quickly. Likewise with any friendship in the UK, we have a very, very strong sense of trust and importance of loyalty. If the trust hasn't been damaged, then they will be fierce friends for life, but if that trust was shattered or betrayed, then it's not a case of downgrading friendship, but instead it is completely ending any relationship whatsoever. That's just how the dynamics work in British culture though. You're either a friend, acquaintance or a stranger. There's not really any other variations of that. They will also be fair about it as well, so for example when they couldn't move past the situation with Dorit but were okay with PK, ultimately they made the decision to take them as a package deal because they didn't want to come between that marriage and they told PK that as Dorit's husband his loyalty lies there first and foremost, so they were going to end the friendship with both of them and move on. Some people might misunderstand why they wouldn't engage with PK, but that's generally the reason why and it comes from a place of the respect we have for loyalty in general. Im simpler words, it's like saying "family comes first, even if we disagree". Not once though did you ever hear Ken or Lisa mention an apology regarding Dorit though, if you pay attention the only thing they were interested in was whether or not their relationship had trust. That was the only thing that mattered really. So when Vanderpump was on the RHOBH and each time you would hear her say "the dynamics have changed in this relationship", to an American audience that would probably say "we're not as close as we once were", but to a british audience that very, very clearly says "we are no longer friends". There's been a lot of times when Vanderpump has spoken to particular audience to convey her true feelings about several situations that I don't think would have been picked up by the American audience, and I certainly don't think the production picked it up either because they've never talked about it. But for instance, she's made quite a few remarks at how she does not approve of the dynamics where one woman will be ganged up on and attacked by all the other women. She then follows up on those with her actions by standing beside certain women and various reunions so they weren't alone. It happened with Brandi, and also with Dorit, and also with Teddi. Even though she acknowledges the things they did was wrong, ultimately she didn't approve of the gang culture and that is something that really got under Ken and Lisa's skin on this show. It was often dressed up as formal literacy, but the context behind it was actually a slang meaning. Ken, on the other hand, was much more forthcoming about it lol.

Also she was the only housewife who straight up had Taylor’s back when she was still with her abusive husband. Kyle who was her bestie was like “is it even true, cos I don’t know why she hasn’t left”. The two girls despised each other, yet Lisa forgot it all in order to support her when she needed it

The Kardashians do so much for charity and Kim herself is helping people who have been given wrongful sentences in prison for their crimes. Not a fan of them but saying they don't do anything for others with their money is inaccurate.

true

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂lmfaooo

Vida Love I know! But I say it in the sense of how sensitive it is, so sweet.

@@valentinaramirez3372 Ik what you mean she is cute

Jennifer Barth preach! and I don't think people used to lisa's humor, I always love her sense of humor tho

Jennifer Barth AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LVP IS NOW THE ONLY REASON I WATCH! ANYTHING SHE SAYS/DOES IS JUDGED AND THE MORE PEOPLE HATE ON HER, THE MORE I LOVE HER AND HER FAMILY! TRUST AND BELIEVE, MAX HATES BEING ON TV, AS SHE HAS STATED REPEATEDLY, SINCE SEASON 1! IF HE DIDN'T WANT THIS, HE,LVP,KEN NOR PANDORA WOULD SHOOT THIS! PANDY WAS MAD AT MAX FOR LOOKING INTO IT, AND I GET IT! PANDY LOVES MAX SO MUCH! MAX IS DOING HIS THING AND THE PARENTS ARE GOING WITH IT! LVP IS HATED NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES AND IT MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jennifer Barth totally agree with you on eileen and Lisa R, the worst characters on housewives along with erika.

Know this is late in the day comment but I'm so pleased I'm not the only one who thinks Eileen and Rinna are the biggest instigators of trouble, and think Eileen was jealous of LVP from the outset. LVP was too classy for them.

P Auluknow I do as well! If she said blue....these boring Betches would say green? OMG......uhhhgggg I HOPE and PRAY she gets other shows so they can see that Kyle is the most!

whats wrong with animals?

They make a boring storyline.

you're entitled to your opinion, and to be entertained by whatever you want but personally I find the work that Lisa does for animals to be incredible and I think documenting it on television shows people the importance of compassion towards animals and encourages others to adopt.

I remember being shocked he wasnt their son. To me he looks like Ken.

Adopted kids tend to look like their parents after some time

Who is the dad lol

she is super sensitive!!!!!!!!!!!

He might have been in foster care somewhere in the uk that was too far to be done with a car ride. His features are also those of a regular/typical Dutch person (blue eyes blonde hair) so he might also have been born around there. But I honestly have no idea. To me it would just make more sense for him to have been born around or in england, rather than an infant having been shipped around the world

@@Seilah789 He has scandanavian and irish ancestry I saw in one of the video clips.

TheRenegadeStarr YAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other ladies can get away with having a kid at 19 and then when the kid is 3, they say NAW, I..I..I..ME..ME..ME and move to LA, marry a rich man, then say okay , that my bay, my baby, "he by baby I gave birth" ETC! NOW, because this lady is hela-jealous of a female 12 years your senior cause her man "likes" her and your "friend" doesn't...Lisa Vanderpump-Todd the problem? GURL BYE!

not everyone has tens of thousands of dollars to do so

TheRenegadeStarr Not everyone should adopt. Some of those kids haven been through hell and back. It’s a tough world out there, and it takes real loving people to bring a child back from trauma.

Like what exactly. My mother said I looked very old with wrinkled skin. I was not a pretty baby until months later. I have seen some really ugly babies in my life.

Jacques Arcadey i mean... i get it. However shes on a show, being a housewife, and housewives usually have children. And i doubt she forced the cameras on him. Its about both of them not just him. She chose to adopt him and hes the adoption and together they made a family. Its emotional for everyone. More than positive he doesn't care. Theyre filming a show that requires content.

Jacques Arcadey I think you're watching the wrong franchise if you think Lisa is the only housewife to bring cameras into personal situations. Also it's clear that she doesn't like to show emotion as she thinks it's a sign of weakness, so I don't think she intended to make it all about her and make this meeting a big deal. Max is looking for his biological mother so this is probably extremely difficult for her; she feels like she's being replaced. I do think housewives set up fake scenes to create sympathy, but in this case it feels very genuine.

TheRenegadeStarr OKAY! How many times has LVP said Max isn't into being on these shows! Max DOES NOT DO WHAT MAX DOES NOT WANT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chrisgeorgiou46 EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOO OVER ALL THESE WOMEN MAKING LVP THE "BADDY"! ALL THESE OTHER WOMEN CAN HAVE DAUGHTERS "DOING MODELING" VIA INSTAGRAM, SONS CRAWLING INTO LAUNDRY HAMPERS, DAUGHTERS SELLING PROPERTIES, MOTHER LEFT HER KID WHEN HE WAS 3? NOPE...NOPE...IT IS LVP'S FAULT! SO WHAT I HAVE GATHERED OVER 7 SEASONS IS THAT LISA HAD KYLE'S BACK 1000% IN SEASONS 1 AND 2. KYLE GOT JEALOUS OF BRANDI IN SEASONS 2 AND 3. SEASON 4 WAS A DIVIDE FOR ALL THESE JEALOUS LADIES AND IN 2017 LISA VANDERPUMP IS STILL THE MAIN FOCUS BE IT LOVE OR HATE!!!!! SO, IMO, ALL THE LADIES GOT LVP IN THERE MOUTH, STILL!!!!!!!!

QUEEN LISA VANDERPUMP-TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iailanee C. It’s very emotional to adopt and foster. You get attached and fear that the child you love and care for deeply can be taken from you is prevalent. Foster and adoptive parents also struggle with their kids not ‘wanting’ them, the same way biological kids decide they don’t want to have relationships with their parents.

Iailanee C. She meant it in good faith.. She feels that he belongs to them as fat as a family unit and I think it's the little girl who was scared of losing her brothef who surfaced

Poor Pandora she was crying because she didn’t want to loose her brother 😢

pogah1985 It's not them, it's the camera's & crew he's not totally comfortable with. He's not an in front of camera type of person but he's doing well.

MAX HATES IT, AND HE WILL NOT DO IT UNLESS HE....HE....HE WANTS TO DO IT!

Yes I think he's just shy and more reserved than his sister and parents ....he's always been so loved . Like Pandora said ..." He's ours"
