She was Jax\u2019s chaotic rebound who somehow made group therapy look like must-see TV.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"691\">Then she vanished from SUR, Jax dumped her outside an AA meeting, and boom\u2026 she was gone from our screens.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"691\">Or so it seemed. What most casual Pump Rules fans don\u2019t realise is that Laura-Leigh quietly traded in goat-cheese balls for a seriously legit acting career, stacking up roles in hit movies and buzzy shows.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"691\">Let\u2019s take a little nostalgia trip and stalk her IMDb, shall we?

Laura-Leigh literally left SUR, and Vanderpump Rules, to play Kymberly in the 2013 road-trip comedy We\u2019re the Millers with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1217\">The movie was a huge box-office hit, earning well over $200 million worldwide and giving her a breakout studio credit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"1217\">It\u2019s a blink-and-you-scream moment when you realise Jax\u2019s ex is the stripper robbing clueless tourists on the big screen.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1239\">The Client List<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1681\">At the same time, she was a series regular on Lifetime\u2019s The Client List, playing Nikki Shannon opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1681\">The show follows a suburban mum secretly working at a spa that offers \u201cextra\u201d services, with Laura-Leigh as one of the other girls at the parlour.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1681\">For someone we met crying in AA on Bravo, anchoring a steamy cable drama as part of the main ensemble was a serious glow-up.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1683\" data-end=\"1699\">Gossip Girl<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/vanderpumprules\/comments\/svpvfi\/lauraleigh_in_gossip_girl_i_remember_jax_telling\/\">Laura-Leigh in Gossip Girl?!?

procedural streak going well into the late 2010s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2573\" data-end=\"2972\">It\u2019s a quick appearance, but it proves she stayed in the game long after her SUR days, quietly booking solid network roles while her former castmates were busy opening bars and launching podcasts.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2974\" data-end=\"2987\">The Ward<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2989\"

psychological horror The Ward, playing one of the patients trapped in a seriously creepy psychiatric hospital.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2989\" data-end=\"3402\">It\u2019s moody, jump-scary and about as

dreamy, very weird Los Angeles mystery.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3453\" data-end=\"3997\">In between, she\u2019s popped up in offbeat projects like Lost Angeles and the Taken parody Tooken, leaning into quirky, left-of-centre roles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3453\" data-end=\"3997\">So while Bravo fans remember her as Jax\u2019s messy rebound, Hollywood quietly booked her as the slightly dangerous girl
