Andy Cohen supports the decision to put "Vanderpump Rules" on an extended hiatus after Season 11, noting that breaks can allow cast members to live their lives and return with fresh perspectives. Despite not being a producer on the show, Cohen's experience with "The Real Housewives" franchise informs his view that pausing production can be beneficial. The hiatus follows the intense "Scandoval" drama, providing time for the cast, especially Ariana Madix, to process recent events.
