SUR boss Lisa Vanderpump was very much in Audrey Lingle’s corner in an unaired moment from the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion.
Audrey had been going toe to toe with Chris Hahn about the demise of their relationship when host Andy Cohen called for a five-minute break in Peacock’s extended and uncensored version of the Vanderpump Rules Reunion Part 1. That’s when Lisa stepped in to give Audrey a quick pep talk.
When LVP asked how Audrey was doing amid the dustup, the hostess replied, “I’m OK. I think I said everything I need to say, which I’m glad.” Nonetheless, Lisa responded, “Yeah, but I don’t want to hear you, like, get angry just with the world…”

Audrey agreed, “I need to let the anger go,” before Lisa referenced a comment she’d made earlier in the reunion about putting up some major boundaries in her dating life, post-split from Chris.
“You said your piece. … But don’t shut yourself off to the world,” Lisa implored Audrey, who, in turn, assured her, “I’m not. I’m open to it. I love love. I want love.”
As LVP concluded, “You are a very lovable person. You’re very sweet. You’re very beautiful. You’re very smart. You’ve got strength. Don’t shut yourself down.”
Audrey Lingle and Chris Hahn react to cheating rumors
Earlier on the VPR reunion, Andy had brought up that when the show started airing, a woman posted online that she had been “sleeping with Chris the whole time” he and Audrey were seeing each other, before giving her a chance to respond to the cheating rumor.
“So, I was shown a Reddit thread. I’m not even on Reddit, I was shown this,” Audrey explained. “And I was very confused because … there [were] certain details that were, like, believable. People saying, like, ‘I was talking to him the whole time I was on the show. He’s still in my DMs.’ All these things.”
That’s when the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host interjected to point out that “talking to someone is different than actually sleeping with them.”

Natalie Maguire, meanwhile, chimed in to say that someone had also sent her the reddit thread, which she subsequently brought to Audrey’s attention. By her account, the person claimed that Chris and Audrey’s relationship was “fake,” but Natalie ultimately disagreed with that accusation.
“I feel that too,” Audrey remarked. “And unless men are vile, evil monsters and that was all fake, I don’t believe that it was [disingenuous]. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.”
Andy, meanwhile, gave the floor to Chris, who insisted that his and Audrey’s romance was “100 percent real,” adding, “I mean, people talk s–t. There are rumors that my last dating show I was in a fake relationship. So, I mean, Reddit is filled with a whole bunch of people that are just gonna hate and talk their s–t and try to stir the pot.”
As for whether he was “sleeping with another woman” while he was with Audrey, Chris said, “1000 percent no.”
Audrey Lingle and Chris Hahn share dating life updates
After Audrey and Chris’ post-mortem on their relationship, both confirmed that they had not hooked up since the show wrapped filming. Andy, meanwhile, asked if they were dating anybody new these days.
“A little bit, yes,” Chris answered first, before confirming that he was dating only “one person” exclusively.
Audrey, for her part, responded, “I’m focusing on myself. … I’m seeing myself, and I’m not letting anyone else into my circle until they prove to me that they are worth my time, my body, my energy, everything.”
She also addressed Chris directly, adding, “I hope that the person that you’re seeing is ready for you, and that you figured your s–t out for her.” His response? “That’s fair.”
Just prior to the aforementioned five-minute reunion break, Audrey’s love life comments prompted Lisa to observe that the whole situation seemed to “really hurt” her, to which she replied, “It hurt me because I just felt like I wasn’t good enough for someone to commit to me.”
In the meantime, get a sneak peek at all the drama still to come on the Vanderpump Rules Season 12 reunion.
