It is worth noting that Lala Kent had previously announced that she wouldn't be attending the award ceremony in light of the Writers Guild of America Strike. She was also absent when the other three cast members accepted the awards.

Several fans took to Twitter and Instagram to chime in about the award and stated that it was “so undeserved” and credited "Scandoval" for the win. They said that the team won because "Tom (Sandoval) slept with Raquel."

Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules was nominated in two categories, Best Docu-Reality Series, and Best Reality On-Screen Team. For the latter, the four cast members Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, and Lala Kent, took home the prize.

While fans were happy that the Lisa Vanderpump show won, they credited the win to Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss. Fans even thanked Raquel for her contribution and added that the cast should “be on their knees” bowing to her for saving their show and careers from extinction. They also stated that they wouldn’t have gotten the votes without the scandal and called it a “strange turn of events.”

Several Vanderpump Rules fans took to Instagram to chime in about the win and credited Raquel for it. Some wondered if Tom and Raquel were also nominated for the award as fans claimed that the two deserve it.

Fans also questioned why Scheana was nominated alongside Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, and Ariana Madix since “they aren’t even a team.” They wondered why Scheana and Katie were on the same team since they have been at odds throughout season 10.

MTV Movie & TV Awards 2023 aired on Sunday, May 7, 2023. While the show was initially supposed to be a live-streamed event, in light of the Writers Guild of America strike, several celebrities decided against being in attendance. These included the show's host, Drew Barrymore, and Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent. However, the show went on without a red carpet, and the winners of the 19 categories were crowned during a broadcast.
