| Posted: 21 May 2019 10:38 AM PDT ![]() Real Housewives fans have seen some true stunts go down on this show, but the latest on Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills takes the cake. This is a season that's focused on a dog named Lucy Lucy Apple Juice and the fallout from it being adopted and then unceremoniously unadopted. Now we have Lisa Vanderpump arranging a lie detector test! But was Lisa Vanderpump's lie detector test on Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills real? The jury is out on the efficacy of the test to begin with. In order to clear her name and to make the other women believe that she's not planting stories in the press, Lisa opted to take a lie detector test on a recent episode of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. According to the American Psychological Association, lie detectors, or polygraph tests, are well known from TV and movies, but they're not as foolproof as you'd think. Polygraph tests get results based on physiological responses, and because an honest person may be nervous and a liar may be able to keep his or her cool under pressure, "there is no evidence that any pattern of physiological reactions is unique to deception." Basically, if Lisa's test were real, it doesn't mean she was telling the truth or lying. There's no way to know for sure. Still, Lisa maintains that she did the test for clarity and that it was completely real, as demonstrated in the tweet above. "I say that when people are accusing you and they don't believe you, what other choice do you have?" she told Hollywood Life. "I actually did it more for the audience than the women to just basically say I've got enough confidence in the fact that I'm one thousand percent innocent to go do whatever it takes." It probably didn't work, though, as Kyle tweeted her disbelief when the lie detector episode aired. "Who ordered the test?" she asked. Erika also agreed with Kyle's disbelief, telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live!, "Who did this?" Bravo tapped polygraph expert John Ross of NY Polygraph to shed some light on the whole polygraph process, and he said that Lisa's passing the test could be legit. He explained that small lies are easy to get away with because there's nothing at stake, but it's the big ones that tend to show up on the tests. "There's no loss there, you're not facing prison time, you're not facing the loss of a job or a marriage, or risking something big," he said. "Depending on what your reputation is, if you're a big executive and what you're being tested for has significance to it, and you have a lot to lose, then yeah, you have a [lot hanging] on it." True? False? Who knows? One thing is for sure, though — Lisa's lie detector test hasn't done much to patch things up with Kyle, and it hasn't fixed her relationship with Dorit, either. Lisa recently told Us Weekly that she hasn't spoken to Dorit and PK since their blowout over dinner. Lisa admitted to Entertainment Tonight that she wasn't sure if she'd be at the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 9 reunion, and it's not hard to see why — she has not one single ally this season. Lisa is outnumbered, and taking that lie detector test won't change it one bit. |
| Posted: 24 May 2019 10:31 AM PDT Lisa Vanderpump's lie detector test seemed to answer some questions surrounding that story that was leaked to Radar Online — namely, that the test found she was telling the truth about not leaking the story and that she didn't know who did. However, this polygraph test also raised other questions among The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies, including who ordered the test and who wrote the questions. Kyle Richards expressed as much on Twitter. Lisa provided some more insight into the origins of the lie detector test during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9 After Show, which you can check out, above. She explained that John Sessa, the executive director of the Vanderpump Dog Foundation, suggested she take the test and also wrote the questions. "Well, I think you actually have to formulate the question because the guy doing the test doesn't watch Real Housewives or didn't know what the hell we were talking about," Lisa said. "And he probably thought when he normally works for the FBI and the police force that it was gonna be something a little bit [more] interesting than, 'Did you give a story to Radar Online?'" Lisa said that she wasn't afraid to take the test. "I don't think anybody would volunteer for a lie detector test if they were one iota guilty, so I was happy to say yes, you know?" she shared. "It seemed kind of intriguing." Lisa added that she felt "absolutely secure with my innocence" while taking the test. Unfortunately for Lisa, the results of the lie detector test didn't appear to do much to change how her fellow Beverly Hills Housewives viewed her alleged role in Puppy-Gate. Kyle, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave all cast doubt on the test results. "She's trying to focus on something that she can control like that instead of the actual problem, which is the initial thing she did with [Dorit], the Vanderpump Dogs thing, because that's the betrayal," Kyle said on RHOBH. Find out who else Lisa thinks should take a lie detector test among the 90210 squad in the clip, above. See what's coming up on RHOBH Tuesday at 9/8c, below. |

Steve Dymond apparently died of an overdose a week after failing the test in the studio, and the show has now been cancelled. The validity of lie detector tests has been up for question for a long time. The "polygraph", the most common form of lie detector, works not by detecting actual lies, but by examining physical proxies, such as breathing rate, heart rate, or the skin galvanic response – how much your skin conducts electricity, which correlates with how sweaty you are. This is the kind of lie detector used on the Jeremy Kyle Show, and on... |
