When you're on not one but two reality series, the drama just doesn't stop!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump will attempt to waltz her way to victory on Dancing with the Stars, but the bruising rehearsals are not the only thing exhausting her. She just finished filming the Real Housewives reunion, and she is spent.

"We've just shot the reunion, which wasn't easy," Vanderpump tells us when we stop by her DWTS rehearsal. "I've recovered from that. It's always tricky. The last reunion for me was very hard. This time I think I was more assertive and really got my opinion and my voice out there."

One person who didn't hear her opinion was Adrienne Maloof, who not only won't be appearing in the next season of RHOBH but was a total no-show at the reunion. When we ask Vanderpump if she knows the story behind Maloof ditching the taping, she insists she knows nothing.

"You'll have to ask her. I know she says a lot about me in the press, and I try not to reciprocate and say anything about her. It's safer that way," Vanderpump says with a smile.
