Lisa Loves Tom Schwartz's Growth & TomTom's Epic Opening | Vanderpump Rules After Show (S7 Ep16)

[@addymustapha5475]

I think Ariana et al have to realize that the Toms are just the face of the bar. They own 2.5% of the company each. They are not majority shareholders. It's not Lisa doing a "power play", she literally owns the bar. The two Toms actually got far more say in the bar than most minority owners actually get, and Lisa tried her best to make them feel involved. At the end of the day though, Lisa has more say because she has the biggest financial stake in the business. She is experienced and has to go with her gut when something doesn't feel right. She may be wrong, but she has earned the right to make the final call. The frozen shots are cool, but if they built it into the bar table, they would literally have to break it apart if the customers didn't like it. Lisa made the right call in my opinion by putting it behind the bar.

[@ventisale1]

Exactly! thanks Addy. You're absolutely right. It's naive - surprinsingly naive - that Ariana and others didn't/don't recognize that from the beginning. As for doing a lot of work for the project, they have no idea how much work the whole project was, from the get go to the finish and opening - no idea.

[@jackiemccoy6282]

Addy Mustapha well said!!!

[@tammieg4788]

OMG. What Ariana said at the end made me gasp! We got to see what vanderpump said first about the cost of some of the drinks, as lovely as they were, were just not practical, so they were cut. Then we see Ariana say the drinks were cut because Lisa was just on a power trip! How immature is that Ariana! It's a business and Lisa being a business woman treats it as such. You Ariana are little girl, and not a very smart or grateful one at that.

[@Mus1c_4lifee]

Britney has absolutely no back down she'll go along with whoever or whatever is the most convenient with the crowd

I 100%agree..such a follower but they always have something to say when Schenna does it...

[@esthercastaneda-wilson285]

Samantha Proctor yup! When Scheana tried to be friends w everyone (back when thy didn’t like LaLa) they called her a flip flopper but Britney is friends w everyone and no one tells her anything! I like her but I don’t see what’s so special about her. They act like she’s a saint!

[@lizlemon3652]

Wow you guys are heartless. Brittany literally never does anything wrong😂

[@KingstonsMuva]

Lizzzi D I like Brittany most of the time because she is nice..however her anger for James is crazy...all he did was rap about how jax cheated on you...yes what James was wrong but he was not lying...she had every right to be upset with him . It just seems like just really is over what James did yet she goes along with them hating him by added her two cents

[@dianecarol2748]

So right

[@karinaf8326]

That just shows you she's not very smart.

[@ilurvekimchi]

LOL as if Tom and Tom can open a bar just by themselves, Ariana. At least not with $100,000 in Weho, a lemonade stand maybe?

[@michelleadamik6013]

I can’t believe what Ariana said about Lisa, I think it was a huge mistake to say what she said, it made her look really petty and small. I’ve always thought she was smarter than that, guess I was wrong

[@natashab3412]

Michelle Adamik agreed. very unappreciative

[@GUSANFRA]

I would’ve said it... go to the other side and watch RHOBH.

[@KingstonsMuva]

She thinks that Toms should be able to do whatever he wants at Tom tom...however the amount of money the Tom invested probably couldnt even pay the light bill there so Ariana needs to have several seats..

[@LightworkBeacon]

I am happy for these two but anyone in the hospitality industry know that there are many talented and creative people who work their buns off to get this kind of break/their own bar. So, the fact that they got this opportunity, on a glimpse of potential, is a huge blessing.

[@trance212]

[@HiThere-tv2bd]

The Tom's are just show ponies and that's how LVP treats them. They own a tiny percentage of the bar, not enough to have a say. Ariana dear it's called VANDERPUMP RULES what do you expect? No one is forcing them to be on the show it's their choice to be under her thumb.

[@charmainelira5664]

Ariana your boyfriend invested just $ 100,00 in tom tom that probably covered just the plumbing and painting job so don't sound obnoxious and ungrateful.

[@k.holland7011]

Not even that. They each invested $50,000. That bar and it's decor along with the construction cost millions. She sounds very ungrateful for the huge opportunity.

[@dianamorales1245]

Charmaine Lira $10k it’s my down payment for a house and you’re right when it comes to the business it just covers the plumbing

[@stefani2050]

Charmaine Lira lol yep

Ariana pls don't start slipping away with attitude. Not for LVP no one would know any of you, don't take it for granted. I Love Kristen's dress!

[@Ashley-dw1dp]

I wonder what happened between Lisa and Ariana bc i feel like she's been throwing a lot of shade in these After show segments

[@coriorcorinthial.2098]

Ariana is controlling and displays a lot of red flags with Tom. I feel that by attacking Lisa she is trying to sabotage the hand that feeds Tom. Thus ruining the relationships he has outside of his and hers. She is jealous of Tom's accomplishments and wants to punish him for having them without her.

Cory L. I can see that

[@carmen101900]

@@coriorcorinthial.2098 She is friends with Teddi Mellencamp.

[@Shelby-ng8sw]

Ariana: She just always wants to make sure we're under her thumb. Darling that's what it means to work for someone else. Don't like it, quit and put your own $$ on your own business... Your entitlement is deafening

[@najatm]

Ariana, that was an unnecessary jab. Even if she wants everyone to be under her thumb, take the opportunity for what it is. Learn from the best, leave and do better. The Toms should sit back, work hard, watch and learn and when the time is right go off and do their own thing. LVP is profiting off of you guys but so are all of you. If it wasn't for this show you'd be still living in that one bedroom greasy apt.....

[@esthercastaneda-wilson285]

Exactly! For her to choose them! Wow... what an opportunity. She had 30 something successful restaurants b4 TomTom, she didn’t really need another one. She’s super rich already! She’s smart and seen the potential and likes them and their significant others (maybe not after this), but she wants to help make them be successful. Someone like her wanting to have me under her thumb... giving me the time of day... I’ll take it!

[@TheVerse101]

Ariana gunna get fired talking like Lisa didn’t give you this very platform to talk down on her

[@doreendklutz6400]

Ariana, how about, you ‘elevate’ yourself out of Vanderpump Rules; you won’t have to worry about being ‘under anybody’s thumb’ 🤔😏

[@jeepgirl9592]

Best comment!

[@desiderata333]

WOW I can’t believe what Ariana is saying here. It seems she, Kristen and Stassi are a bit envious! Especially Ariana. DISLIKE and I do hope she, Lala and Katie get called out at the reunion for their crappy behaviors this season.

[@honeyafun7450]

lol because Ariana wants the show to be named Ariana rules :D

[@GardenRetriever]

So has anyone tried the Ariana @ tomtom. Equal parts ignorance, arrogance, delusion and jealousy served in a beautiful vessel. I hope she was making a joke and it was bad editing...no one that age is allowed to be that stupid!

[@sharonsedore]

How do I find all comments made by this super funny person, omg this comment is hilarious!!! So please help me out... how can I find other comments by Valaria?

[@orangejmoothies]

1. That motorcycle side care is friggin hilarious....even more hilarious and fitting that lil ol’ schwartz is in the sidecar :P no shade to them both, they’re hilarious! 2. Okay soooooooooo i understand why ariana said the thing she said..but at the end of the day, tom & tom contributed pennies compared to what lisa did. As much as they keep saying “my bar”, is it really though? It’s lisa & co’s bar..it’s all her money, her people, her connections, etc. They’re just the model/face! So as much as i want tom and tom to feel more a part of the bar the thing is....they’re barely “owners” as it is :/ Also....unless you are fronting all that dough, you kinda have to sit down.

[@janetskelley2198]

Ariana has changed. She is listening to Tom too much and the both of them it's all gone to their heads. Take a step back and look at the big picture. Lisa has owned bars forever and has the experience. Tom has none. He was a bartender. To be given this opportunity with a 2.5% share means that you listen and learn from an expert and shut up and possibly in 30 years you might be a fraction of the expert that Lisa is and be able to open your own bar.

[@Camdino24]

Ariana, tell me how you really feel! lol she didn't hold back!

[@lillianz7111]

Ariana you do realize that everyone on VPR is replaceable right?

[@esthercastaneda-wilson285]

These ppl are so ungrateful! I doubt LVP wants to have these same set of ppl under her forever!

[@lizlemon3652]

Not really though. Even LVP days the show is so successful bc of the genuine friendships the OGs had before the show. And that's still what makes it.

[@taylormade4393]

Lizzzi D The show can do very well without Ariana. She brings nothing to the table.

[@lizlemon3652]

@@taylormade4393 yeah shes just okay

[@andreagarrison2109]

It's slightly concerning that Ariana has such discontent this early on in the process of Tom Tom's successful opening and debut. Lisa hasn't achieved what she has by being not good in business and branding. The opportunity this endeavor has given to the Toms should be celebrated, appreciated and respected. It's almost like Ariana expected for Lisa to be like, "I'll invest 95% of the money needed and just throw the Toms the keys and control and call it a day". Weird. I hope this evident "power struggle" doesn't cause resentment or an issue that compromises the Toms' standing and relationship (both personal and professional) with Lisa and Ken.

Katie was actually such a loving and supportive gf/wife. She always made excuses for him and spoke so sweetly of him during these after shows. Ofc there were toxic times but I don’t like how she is put down, I don’t believe she was as bad as the show portrayed her. And it’s crazy watcbing this back after my veil has been lifted on Sandoval! I loved him, I fell for his good guy act but after seeing him do Exactly what he did to Kristen to Ariana just shows what a little slime ball he is.

I mean for Ariana to say that is odd because Lisa is the sole reason she has a job and a steady paycheck Lisa employs them all and is often like a mother to them

Before I was born, my dad drove such a bike (a BMW left by the Germans after the war), with my mom on the back and my two sisters in the sidecar. Like that they even went camping! No glamping back then though...🤣

[@junem342]

Yikes, Ariana... need a prospective adjustment. In reality she handed them a huge opportunity. Neither of them have development to management experience let alone owning a bar. AKA no proven track record to run majority of decisions. Especially since LK has invested millions in building the bar, 98% steak, assuming the risk and proven success of course she and her team will guide the bars decisions. They are getting a FREE education in what it takes from a successful restaurateur making educated decisions vs. whims and taking steps to necessary... they put a little skin in the game, and they will enjoy the "residuals" and am sure once they start learning and growing their "input" will have more impact and the reins will loosen.

[@JackJudeUK]

Ariana not understanding what it takes to run an empire. She literally is a know it all and comes across like she is too cool for school.

Make no mistake Lisa is the boss lady, you girls have a lot to learn before you should question that. Ariana comes across as ungrateful and entitled. Also, her negative attitude is starting to rub off on Tom Sandoval, that text message to Staussie this season was a reflection of her talking in his ear. Ladies don't alien yourself with this negative gal.

Ariana’s right. That’s a good life partner...wake up...not every hand that reaches out, you should take. Figure out on your own how to do it bc at the end of the day if Lisa wants to take it from you she can.

[@user-df4wr7qp2d]

I think what Ariana meant was that Liza dogged them around a lot in terms of what type of inclusion so I don’t think she meant she’s better but that she wants Liza to see them as more than bartenders cause her and Tom have shown they are professional hard workers

[@fakiola9184]

Whenever I see Jax with these two who are out there killing it I can't help but wonder has Jax reached his full potential as bartender at SUR? At least he'll get a good pension though as he'll have racked up 4 decades worth of service in one position at the same place!

[@uppereastsidegirle]

I'm guessing Tom Sandoval feels the same as his girlfriend Arianna. They probably feed off one another, hope Lisa sees that! Where as Swartz & Katie seem to understand and appreciate their place a little more. It's a little entitled and unappreciative.

[@gracebowers3524]

Sandoval boring us with the difficulties with a bike & sidecar... Wow... Good job Lisa & Ken project managed.

[@centigradz2centigradz289]

They were given creative rights and they did dumb stuff like the diamond cube. Lvp was very tolerant of that. And they have very little shares. My dad had 33% shares and his brothers wouldn't even let him change the decor. The worst thing is my dad was the one at the shop working 24/7 and the two brothers never showed up to work. My dad got the inventory and had to pay the bills and paid for maintenance but still had to share the profits equally. Some ppl can b ruthless as shareholders. So yeah, Ariana your bf is super lucky to have a great boss like lvp. And Tom would never side with Ariana. He would save a male friend or a male stranger over Ariana anytime.

[@tanyabrown6969]

Ariana, please don't sign next season's contract! And that's how you get from under LVP's thumb. You're basically stassi's thong now anyway, so you're bringing nothing extra to the show these days. Go back to being a blurr in the background, if being ungrateful is going to be your talking point.

[@Jeritavibez]

Um I get where Ariana is coming from also Lisa . But these people are afraid to speak up cause she is their boss plus she owns part of the show now that’s where their real money comes from they just pretend to work every now and then I knew when I’d go eat at sur I usually would see Peter the rest were only around during shooting which sucks cause Sandoval makes a mean jalapeño margarita 🤷🏽‍♀️

Absolutely hate the motorcycle sidecar. It’s what clowns ride in and typically the dumber, shorter clown, or a painted dog rides in the sidecar. It’s the least coolest, least macho thing a guy can do. They are not dating, nor slept with each other...I don’t get the picture of them kissing. Well, it looks like one of them completely understands the dynamics (the one dating Tom) when she said, “......no matter what, we will always be under Lisa’s thumb.”

Lisa used Tom Tom literally to build another bar for herself and used the guys. She will never give them control over it and likes to keep control over whats in and whats not gonna be used at the bar. The frozen shots, should been used the diamond ice cubes could have been incorporated. Unfortunately, she has these little digs toward both Tom's, that makes her look bad.

[@electronomic2745]

Lisa is using the tomtom brand, practically for free. Imagine if they wanted to open a tomtom on their own, they would get investors in a minute, and they would be sole owners. They are being used. It's business, but no one is doing any favours. Plus, they have NO contract...NOT GOOD..Lisa will reap ALL the benefits..

[@addie5533]

They should’ve invested more money then. It’s business. And she’d be successful with any bar regardless of the brand.

[@imalaylunna4810]

Oh well...they only invested 50k each which is nothing. If they wanted to have more say they could of invested more money. Technically its Lisa's bar and they are very very small owners of the bar.

[@electronomic2745]

My point being, they have made 100k donation and given their identity for free. As of now, no contract, no deal. Lisa is doing fine, just saying, if they had a business advisor who was looking out for their interests this would have been pointed out. This is a vanderpump project using the tomtom brand. There is no legal obligation on Lisa's part.

[@phuoitrinh1]

Please! If it wasn't for Vanderpump rules they would never have been able to open anything. They get paid for being on the show and the did nothing but make drinks for the bar. So, Lisa does deserve most of the credit!

[@k.holland7011]

That $100,000 they invested together would not cover the cost of the lighbulbs in this magnificent high end bar that cost millions to build and the decor. They are being well compensated for the $50,000 each investment. Lisa has opened over 30 successful bar/restaurants and TomTom is the number 1 bar in West Hollywood. She knows what she is doing. Love to think I could get a future return of a huge yearly salary from the investment price of a midprice car.
