Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules kicked off with Venus Binkley and Marcus Johnson being the best of friends. However, things quickly went south between them when Venus was tired of being the sounding board for Marcus and his girlfriend, Kim Suarez. This led Marcus to tell everyone what Venus had said about them behind their backs. And now Venus has a thing or two to say about Marcus as well.
Marcus Johnson is a gaslighter according to Pump Rules’ Venus Binkley
Relationships can turn on a dime on VPR. And that’s what happened with Venus and Marcus.
When Marcus and Kim crashed out over Marcus’ friendship with Natalie Maguire, Venus was caught in the middle. Marcus denied saying he and Natalie were like brother and sister. Venus yelled at Marcus, “B*tch, I know you’re lying!”
The next day, Marcus and Kim got back together, which set Venus off. Marcus retaliated by tattling to everyone about what Venus had said behind their backs. Venus then ended his friendship with Marcus. But was it really over?
For now, we don’t know. However, Venus was on Watch What Happens Live and dished about his former bestie. And it’s not looking good for the two of them.
Andy Cohen did a speed round of shady questions, and Venus had to choose either Marcus or Kim for the answer. Unsurprisingly, Venus chose Marcus for the majority of the questions.
Venus said he thought that Marcus was the one responsible for the majority of the problems in his relationship with Kim. But he felt Marcus was a better friend to him than Kim was.
Andy wondered who had changed the most since the show premiered. Venus asked, “In a good or bad way?” Andy said, “In a bad way.” Venus immediately said, “Kim.” And in a good way, Venus said, “Neither.” Yikes.
Then Andy asked, “Who’s the bigger gaslighter?” And Venus picked, you guessed it, Marcus. It seems like Venus and Marcus aren’t going to go back to being best friends anytime soon.
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock the next day.
