Lisa Vanderpump, 58, surprised fans by flying to Kentucky for the nuptials of Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor, 39, and Brittany Cartwright, 30, on June 29. Her mother Jean Vanderpump had just passed away in England on June 17, meaning her funeral would unfortunately fall close to such a happy celebration. Jeanā€™s cause of death had previously remained confidential, but a troll who suggested that Lisaā€™s mom was left to ā€œrotā€ in a nursing home forced LVP to speak up. ā€œHow dare you?! My mother died suddenly of DVT you vile woman,ā€ the SUR Restaurant owner tweeted on June 30. DVT stands for deep vein thrombosis, which is ā€œa blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the bodyā€ and can ā€œbreak loose and cause a serious problem in the lung,ā€ according to MedlinePlus.

Lisa had no way for preparing of the unexpected blood clot condition, so she explained how she still made it to Jax and Brittanyā€™s wedding despite her motherā€™s tragedy. ā€œI am sad,but really wanted to show them my support and love..it is beyond our control but funeral is now not until next week.šŸ˜¢,ā€ LVP revealed in another tweet on June 30, in response to a fan who noted that Lisa looked ā€œsadā€ in a photo from the nuptials.

Lisaā€™s tweet echoes what a source close to the restaurant entrepreneur EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife, before Jax and Brittany exchanged vows at the altar. ā€œ[Lisa] decided it would be good for her to go and it was better to be there having fun than sitting at home,ā€ our source told us, adding that ā€œfilming and a joyous occasion after two weeks of mourningā€ would ā€œlift her spirits.ā€

Fans werenā€™t the only ones surprised to see Lisa mingling with the wedding party in the Bluegrass State. She didnā€™t decide to make the trip until the ā€œvery last minuteā€ ā€” as in, ā€œessentiallyā€ the morning of the service, our source told us! Lala Kentā€™s fiancĆ©, Randall Emmett, even posted a photo of him, Lisa and her husband Ken Todd touching down in a jet on the same day of the ceremony. ā€œThose close to her are happy she did this,ā€ the insider added. ā€œIt was a surprise to everyone as last the Vanderpump cast heard it sounded like she was not going to be making it.ā€
