The new season of Tell Me Lies releases today, and as it turns out there’s a link between Grace Van Patten character’s Lucy, as a particularly tumultuous couple from Vanderpump Rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grace revealed that she drew inspiration for Lucy and her toxic relationship with Stephen after watching Jax Taylor and Stassi Schroeder on Vanderpump Rules.<\/p>\n

She explained: “I keep saying this. Is it an excuse because I\u2019m so obsessed with the show and I\u2019m embarrassed.”<\/p>\n

Grace continued, saying: “Vanderpump Rules was a really good character study. Tell Me Lies is the scripted version of Vanderpump Rules.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s all these young people being so terrible to each other. They are messy and in denial. Just not great people at that age and at that point of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She added: “But, it was so fun to watch. I really felt like Stassi and Jax\u2019s relationship from the first season. It reminds me a lot about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
