Back in October, Yolanda Foster revealed that her two youngest children, Bella and Anwar Hadid were diagnosed with Lyme disease back in 2012.
The topic of Foster's health has been brought up several times during this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and on Tuesday, talk turned to her kids (dad is Foster's ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid).
Lisa Vanderpump, who is close with Hadid, updated the women on the latest with the Foster-Hadid health crisis.
Vanderpump told the group of women at Kyle's BBQ (dinner, really) that Hadid told her that his children were "fine" and didn't have Lyme disease.
This made both Foster and Hadid irate, to the point where the usually private father had to release a statement about Vanderpump's comments via Instagram.
Yesterday, Vanderpump took to her Bravo TV blog to clear the air about what she said.
"I would never delve into the health history of somebody's children, but now as the subject was brought to the forefront by Yolanda, a week previously, without provocation, then I was asked questions by Kyle, I have no alternative but to speak my truth," Vanderpump explained.
"My truth being over the years of interacting with all of the children there had never been any mention of illness.
I knew them [Bella and Anwar] to to thrive, flourish, but I state I had no reason to question their well being. Mohamed had always said they were fine, but that is their prerogative as parents, whatever medical issues or information they choose to divulge.
"I obviously interpreted that as they were not infected by this insidious disease, and as it is not contagious, I understood them to be healthy.
I love and adore all three of them, for sure. I regret even acknowledging the subject, but we live and we learn."
Vanderpump, however, pointed out that all's fair in reality TV.
"I can't stress this enough: I believe when we initiate conversation on a reality show,whether inadvertently or not, we open the doors for discussion," she wrote.
"I have initiated sensitive subjects myself,with regard to my children, for one... Max's adoption, with the full understanding that as cameras were documenting this, it would be flung into a forum where many would speculate.
"It was a conscious choice, so people would gain a better understanding of our family dynamic."
