McKinley Franklin editor Season 10 of Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” garnered the reality series an Emmy nomination while drawing record breaking viewership, thanks to the #Scandoval cheating scandal — but star Lala Kent tells Variety that the aftermath of the controversy that bled into Season 11 left her feeling “numb.” “I think it’s gonna be really hard for me to watch this season, because I’m in a very different place,” she said. “It’s the first season that I felt a little bit numb, and a little checked out.” In Season 10, which concluded in June, Kent’s “Vanderpump Rules” cast members Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss — who has since left the show — were at the center of one of reality television’s greatest controversies, after it was revealed that he’d cheated on his long-term partner Ariana Madix with Leviss.
Emma Thompson Says ‘Content’ is a ‘Rude Word’: ‘It Makes Me Feel Like the Stuffing Inside a Sofa Cushion’

K.J. Yossman Emma Thompson rallied for creatives on Thursday, saying she finds the word “content” offensive. “I think the relationship between the executives and the creative branch just has to be much, much closer,” she said during an in-conversation with CAA boss Bryan Lourd at the Royal Television Society conference in Cambridge on Thursday afternoon.
“To hear people talk about ‘content’ makes me feel like the stuffing inside a sofa cushion,” Thompson continued. “It’s just a rude word for ‘creativity’.” She went on to acknowledge that many executives are creative and that creatives can also be executives. Thompson also expressed her love for television at the conference, saying because she didn’t go to drama school she felt she learned to act in front of television cameras.
The “Harry Potter” actor added that her experience of mentoring another young actor through BAFTA had given her another insight into the often rocky relationship between talent and executives. “You find your audience by being completely authentic,” she says. “These formulas don’t work… And then you sit there and you watch them and you wonder why at the end of it, you feel a bit ill.
And I think that’s something else that we don’t talk about as creators in television and in film. How does it make us feel inside ourselves after we’ve seen something?” Thompson also discussed the effects of the concurrent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, particularly on craftspeople in the industry. “It’s a very, very, very hard time.
