The cast of couples on the show, and even some of the better relationships have been filled with a lot of drama.
The series is well-known for having cast who act poorly, but the men of the show are partially known for being bad boyfriends. There are some good boyfriends on the cast, too, so we’ve ranked them from the worst to the best.
Frank Herlihy
Frank was briefly Stassi’s boyfriend during the first season of the show, but things didn’t last long as it became clear he was a total jerk. Frank made Jax seem like a pretty decent guy, which is saying a lot.
The main reason why Frank is at the bottom of this list, however, is because he blackmailed Stassi for money over a sex tape of her that he had. This makes him a pretty despicable human.
Patrick Meagher
Patrick is another one of Stassi’s ex-boyfriends who is a total jerk and bad boyfriend. He might not have blackmailed Stassi over a sex tape, but he did manipulate her and put her down.
He clearly didn’t respect women as he even harassed Lisa Vamderpump in front of Stassi. Patrick was arrogant, and he clearly made Stassi feel awful about herself.
Jax Taylor
Jax is one of the most infamous cast from the series, and he is basically the definition of a bad boyfriend. His biggest sins as a boyfriend are the fact that he’s a serial cheater.
He cheated on Stassi multiple times, and then cheated on Brittany as well as probably every girlfriend he’s ever had. He can also be manipulative, sexist, and angry. While he might be trying to have a better image these days, he still isn’t a particularly kind partner.
James Kennedy
James Kennedy only barely beat out Jax Taylor because he’s really been spiraling in the most recent season. But, even when he was with Kristen, he could be verbally abusive and mean.
His relationship with Kristen was clearly toxic, and he’s once again repeating the same patterns with Raquel even though Raquel has always been very kind and loyal to him. Hopefully, he’s started being nicer to her now that he’s been addressing his alcohol addiction.
Tom Schwartz
Some people have the impression that Tom is a sweetheart and that Katie is the only toxic one in the relationship, but it’s become clear in the most recent episodes that this was never the case.
They both have been nasty to one another, but Tom has never really stepped up in the relationship. He’s clearly never been as invested as Katie is, and he has a rather emotionally and verbally abusive side.
Mike Shay
Mike Shay started out seeming like a great boyfriend and then-husband, and he seemed to really Scheana at first. However, because of his own individual struggles with substance abuse, their relationship came to an end. He’s not nearly as cruel as some of the other men on this list, and he did seem to care about Scheana.
However, in the end, he wasn’t a great partner.
Randall Emmett
While Randall and Lala’s relationship got off to a bit of a weird and mysterious start, they actually seem to mostly have a good relationship. Randall is mostly a goofy guy, and he seems very loyal to Lala.
While he might not be the type of person you’d think would work with Lala, these two seem to work together and are actually a team. It's been interesting to finally get to see the two of them interact.
Beau Clark
Beau Clark hasn’t been on the cast for too long, but he is by far the best boyfriend Stassi has had on Vanderpump Rules. While their relationship isn’t always perfect, they do seem to work through things together, and he doesn’t cheat on her or manipulate her like many of the guys from her past.
Hopefully, their relationship will continue to grow and stay strong.
Ken Todd
Ken was always Lisa’s husband on the series as they’d been married for decades before the show ever began, but he can definitely be included on this list as he’s a long-term partner.
Ken and Lisa have clearly made their relationship work and know each other so well. They seem to have found a balance and dynamic that works for them, and they each other. Ken has never done anything to Lisa that would make one concerned.
Tom Sandoval
Tom Sandoval isn’t a perfect person, and he does have moments where he messed up as a boyfriend and person. However, it’s pretty clear that he deeply loves Ariana.
He’s been really ive of her and the different issues she’s had since ing the series. He has always ed her coming out journey, and, even when he’s messed up with things like that, he always apologizes and works to understand where Ariana is coming from.
