Vanderpump debuted on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" in 2010 and is an original cast member of the show. In 2019, she announced her departure from the show after nine seasons following "Puppygate", a scandal suggesting that Vanderpump was trying to shade co-star Dorit Kemsley for not returning a puppy back to the shelter. In 2011, she was part of CNN's coverage of the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. In 2013, she was featured in a spin-off of the program, "Vanderpump Rules", which focuses on the staff of her West Hollywood restaurants SUR, Pump, and TomTom.
