VPR has become one of the most popular reality TV shows in the past year because of some serious drama that happened in season 10 of the show. One of the show’s stars, Rachel Leviss, came into the spotlight because of the cheating scandal. If you missed it… Rachel was caught sleeping with her best friend Ariana’s boyfriend of 9 years Tom. Well, Bethenny Frankel can into the picture saying that Rachel made crumbs for money on the show and Bethenny’s interns probably made more money.

That claim is definitely not true.

According to various sources, Rachel Leviss earned over $350k for season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules.” This amounts to almost $20k per episode and there were 19 episodes that aired in season 10. Although this might be considered “chump change” in the world of multi-million dollar companies, it’s not a small sum that anyone can make just by being a part of a reality TV show.

Rachel Leviss appeared on Bethenny Frankel’s podcast, “Just B,” and was shocked to hear that her earning for the last season is less than what Frankel’s interns were earning. In response to this, Rachel shared details about her contract terms and earnings for the last season. Rachel disclosed that even though she didn’t know what her co-stars’ made, she knows she was paid fairly for her part in the show. Rachel’s earnings were based on her role, the storylines she was a part of, and the time she invested in the show.

So to say that Leviss made crumbs on VPR is just false.

The cast members of “Vanderpump Rules” were not taken in just because they looked good on screen – they had to struggle to earn their spots. The stars of the show had to work in restaurants as servers and bartenders before they became famous. Therefore, their earnings from the show are the result of their efforts and dedication to the craft.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

Another week of Aimee+Shawn is in the books and this week is a special one – it’s back to school time! The kids are back in class, and back to listening every morning!

If you remember last year, Shawn’s son Colin was not a fan of going to Kindergarten. He was petrified of the change of routine and the mysterious new building he’d be going to every morning. Thankfully this year, Colin is in much better spirits heading towards first grade. Now Colin is giving the young Kindergarteners good advice as they enter school for the first time.

Meanwhile, Aimee brought a poem that was bringing the water works. It would have been easier to read if Shawn didn’t pipe in Sarah McLachlan during her reading.

Shawn has been looking around the house wondering where the money is going when it dawned on him: it’s the Goldfish crackers. He shares the one change he made that will be enough to pay for all of his streaming services all year.

Aimee had no idea that Hawaiian rolls weren’t only able to be baked but were suggested to be baked by the manufacturer. She’d never done so… are there any other instructions you’ve been avoiding reading all these years? Monopoly players, we are looking at you.

At Monster Jam over the weekend, Shawn and his family got up to let a man through to his seat… but he soon became enraged when he found out which seat he was headed to.

Plus, why Aimee’s head is always on a swivel just in case she’ll ever be needed to testify.
