To give the restaurant a proper send-off, Pump will remain open throughout Pride month in West Hollywood, with the family hosting a “last hurrah” to thank their staff and patrons. Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd own several other restaurants, including TomTom and SUR, and they plan to open at least two more restaurants in partnership with Caesars Entertainment in the coming year.
Meanwhile, the couple’s Bravo series, Vanderpump Rules, which centers on the lives of their restaurant staff, has been embroiled in controversy following the news of Tom Sandoval’s affair with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss. The scandal led to the new restaurant, Schwartz & Sandy’s, receiving a wave of negative Yelp reviews and social media comments. However, Vanderpump has asked viewers not to take their frustrations out on the businesses, emphasizing the importance of separating the cast’s actions from the individuals themselves.
