Paulo from Vanderpump Rules was left ‘fighting for his life’ in coma after motorcycle accident
He was in the coma for almost one month
Despite not appearing on the new season of Vanderpump Rules, 53 year old SUR employee Paulo is already at the centre of the drama.
However, he sadly was involved in a horrific motorcycle accident at the end of September 2025 which resulted in him being in a coma for almost one month, requiring a tracheostomy and feeding tube just to survive.
His sister set up a GoFundMe for Paulo, explaining that the accident happened on September 29th, with the recovery being extremely “challenging for Paulo.”
His friend and the co-owner of SUR, Guillermo Zapata also posted a series of updates about Paulo’s condition following the accident.
He wrote at the time: “My dear friend Paulo has been in a terrible motorcycle accident and is now fighting for his life. In this incredibly difficult time, I ask everyone to keep him close in your thoughts and hearts.”
Guillermo later posted an update about the his condition, revealing that after “three and a half weeks” Paulo was finally out of the coma.
He continued: ” Waking up and facing the reality of the accident has been incredibly difficult, but with the love and support of family and friends, he will find the strength to recover.
“The doctors remain optimistic about his progress and slowly returning to normal life, though healing takes time. I’m deeply grateful to God for His blessings and for giving Paulo another chance at life.”
It seems Paulo is still recovering as the last post on his Threads account appears to be from the night before the accident, as the Vanderpump Rules star was doing a DJ set.
Since the most recent season of Vanderpump Rules was filmed in April his accident most likely won’t be covered as a point of discussion during the new series, and hopefully he’s recovering okay.
