AceShowbiz - Lisa Vanderpump has broken her silence after her "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" co-star Dorit Kemsley dissed her for failing to attend the Bravo show's season 9 reunion special. The British restaurateur didn't hold back when responding to a fan who put Dorit on blast for her "vile" comments.

"I saw a video of the crew getting ready for the reunion & asked how felt about you not being there. Most were expected… but what [Dorit Kemsley] said were vile, disgusting & so sad that she could say this [about] a friend that it brought me to tears," the fan tweeted of the backstage interview at the upcoming explosive reunion.

Lisa replied to the tweet, writing, "Awful I agree."

In the backstage video which was released on July 3, Dorit called Lisa a "coward" for sitting the reunion out. "I thought Lisa, at least in this final act, would leave with her shoulders up and her head held up high and have a little bit of grace and her dignity intact and she didn't," she said.

Not stopping there, she continued saying of Lisa, "As far as I'm concerned, she's bowed out like a coward. And I think that's unfortunate… I kind of thought at least she would have done that for the people that do look at her as this regal, super-human but she's not."

In another tweet, Lisa begged to differ when a fan compared her to Adrienne Maloof who decided to skip the season three reunion after Brandi Glanville revealed one of her family secrets. Quoting Lisa's remarks at the time where she suggested that Adrienne "should've come, cleaned up the mess and moved on," the fans wondered "what's the difference" between Adrienne and what Lisa did this season.

"5 against one for 21 episodes...that's the difference," she explained.

This arrives after Lisa revealed that she would not appear in season 10 of "RHOBH". However, that doesn't mean fans will see her less often on the small screen. The Bravo personality recently hinted that she was preparing a new spin-off series which would be based on her newest restaurant, the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

"Finally a @BravoTV Tweet worth a [heart] and retweet. @VanderpumpVegas spin-off soon???" Lisa tweeted over the weekend.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 9 finale airs July 9 at 9 P.M., while the reunion special airs July 16 at the same time slot on Bravo.
