Bravo Fans Are In Mourning Because "Vanderpump Rules" Just Announced Season 12 Will Feature An All-New Cast, And I Might Just Need A Bump Of Tequila
by Shelby Heinrich · BuzzFeedDear reader, do you remember when (literally yesterday) I wrote about Schwartz & Sandy's closing and the future of Vanderpump Rules being uncertain? Well, not anymore! We're getting a Season 12...but none of the SURvers we know and love will be there.
Also...Kristen Doute is pregnant. Big day for Bravo fans.
That's right, Bravo just announced that VPR will return, but with an all-new cast (aside from Lisa Vanderpump, who will be returning). The press release describes the new cast as "close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors." We'll see about that.
Although the OG cast left Season 11 on not-so-great terms, this is still a bit of a shock and a devastating blow for fans who have watched them grow up on camera for over a decade. Here's how everyone — both the cast and viewers alike — are reacting (so far):
Ariana Madix shared this heartfelt message on Instagram starting with, "vanderpump rules, you will forever be that girl 💖"
Naturally, Lala Kent posted this lengthy statement, which you are more than welcome to read:
Katie Maloney shared this Instagram story:
"It's a mixed bag. But I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for the memories and the love the last 11 years," she said.
Andy Cohen had this to say:
these were the best days of our lives…

And here's what fans are saying:
I need 5-7 business days to process the entire #PumpRules cast being fired. Thanks

no one did it like them [have one cast member drunkenly spill that another cast member’s ex boyfriend slept with his best friend’s girlfriend who is also her best friend just to then go on and still film ten more seasons together]#PumpRules pic.twitter.com/Yzl4sDp068

I think VPR might not be cancelled if Lala and Scheana had been true friends to Ariana and Katie…watching those four queen out while Tom & Tom suffered would’ve been amazing…but they had to throw it !!!!!!!!

TOM SANDOVAL INDEFINITELY BROKE DUE TO HIS OWN POOR CHOICES…I used to dream about days like this
