‘Vanderpump Rules’ EP Alex Baskin Denies Cast Claims of Interference, Addresses Future of the Show


At Variety’s TV FYC Fest, 'Vanderpump Rules' boss Alex Baskin refuted the cast's claims about threatening to cancel it—and addressed the show's future

That’s something that Alex Baskin — the boss of Bravo’s “ Vanderpump Rules ” — said at Variety ’s TV FYC Fest, during a panel called “Reality Producers Tell All.” He was refuting recent claims made by “Vanderpump Rules” cast member Scheana Shay, who has said of late that during production on the show’s 11th season last summer, Baskin made a veiled threat to the cast about canceling the show if it didn’t improve. Production on Season 11 of “Vanderpump Rules” began in late June 2023, only a few months after the news broke about the “Scandoval,” the term for Sandoval’s affair with then-castmate Rachel Leviss, which blew up his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix. “We go into production very shortly, and I’m excited about that, because obviously all chaos is broken out in their lives,” Baskin said, referring to the now-exploded marriages of Cartwright and Taylor and Jesse and Michelle Lally.
