Who is Lisa Vanderpump's son Max?
Lisa Vanperpump is the mother of two -- Max Todd and Pandora Vanderpump. Max was adopted by Lisa and her husband Ken when he was a baby. Max Todd was born on December 7, 1991, making him 30 years old this year. Max was said to be a troublemaker as a teen and was sent to boarding school. He isn't that well-known but has made a few appearances on 'RHOBH' and 'Vanderpump Rules'. He works in his mother's restaurant, SUR, and is introverted in nature. He once had an interest in music but doesn't seem to have pursued it.
James Kennedy clashes with Max Todd
The season premiere saw Lisa confront James over a bunch of harsh texts he'd sent Max and later we see her invite him over to her house to sort it out with Max. The fight apparently began when James wanted to share a salad but Max pointed out splitting plates would cost extra. This annoyed James who splashed water at Max which led to a scene at the restaurant as James thought Max was going to take a swing at him. This had led to James sending Max abusive texts fat-shaming him and calling him a "miserable p***k" who no one likes due to which he was blocked.
When James comes over to apologize, Max isn't in the mood to talk. He questions James' aggression which blindsided him. Kennedy gives a lousy excuse blaming it on the "pre-workout pill" they both had, saying it made him manly and aggressive. Max calls it bulls**t and asks why he was calm then. Max tells James this was the last straw and hes' done with James, telling him not to show his face at SUR and leaves. James said he didn't mean any of it but the friendship is on the rocks. After Max leaves we see James break down in front of Lisa, questioning his own behavior. Well, it's now left to see what happens with this friendship that's barely hanging on.
