Lisa Vanderpump might want to pump the brakes on her wine.

Buggy rosé isn’t the only issue the "Vanderpump Rules" star, 60, has faced this year. In March, her Los Angeles restaurant Pump was temporarily suspended from opening because she had failed to pay a $250 tax-related fine to the state of California.

"So important, worthy of a headline…said no one ever. Geez," Vanderpump sarcastically tweeted after the news broke, adding that "10;000 [sic] restaurants have closed for good" during the COVID-19 pandemic.
