Katie Maloney Claps Back: The 'Vanderpump Rules' Reboot Drama Unfolds

Vanderpump Rules Reboot Faces Backlash from Original Star

The dazzling world of reality TV is no stranger to drama, and the latest "Vanderpump Rules" reboot is stirring the pot even before it hits the screens. Katie Maloney, one of the original stars of the beloved series, has sparked a fiery debate by labeling the reboot as "cheap." Her comment has quickly become the talk of the town, especially when Chris Hahn from the new cast seemed to dismiss her entirely.

During a candid moment caught on camera, Chris Hahn, while speaking with E! News, admitted he wasn't familiar with Katie, adding fuel to the fire. His remarks seemed to dismiss not just Katie but the legacy of the show's original run. In the clip shared widely online, Chris asserts, "I don't know who you are, Katie," while also attempting to differentiate the reboot as a "totally different show."

“I said the rebooting felt cheap. Before it came out," Katie Maloney shot back on social media. "But you know what, I was right. Give your cousin a kiss for me.”

Katie Strikes Back on Social Media

Katie wasn't about to let those comments slide. When Page Six posted the interview clip on Instagram, Chris doubled down in the comments, maintaining his ignorance of Katie's identity. However, Katie swiftly responded with a quip about Chris's cousin, Jason Cohen, linking it to a risqué moment involving OnlyFans.

Katie took her thoughts to her podcast, "Disrespectfully," co-hosted with Dayna Kathan, not holding back on her disdain for what she called "loser behavior." While she laughed off the idea that someone from the new cast wouldn't know her, she pointed out the absurdity, given her long-standing presence on the original show.

OG Cast Members Rally Behind Katie

Katie wasn't alone in challenging Chris's claims. Jasmine Goode, a familiar face from "The Valley" and a former SUR employee, chimed in to suggest Chris might not be entirely truthful. "The lies lol," she commented, recounting how Chris was involved with the show as far back as 2022, making his ignorance seem incredulous.

As "Vanderpump Rules" gears up for its reboot, the tension between old and new casts is palpable. The original stars are not shying away from defending their legacy, ensuring that fans are eagerly watching each twist and turn in this reality TV saga.
