She joined the show during its eighth season and appeared through the tenth season, becoming a familiar presence among the ensemble cast centered around Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant SUR Restaurant & Lounge. Though her tenure on the series spanned several seasons during a period of significant cast turnover, Burnett carved out a distinctive on-screen persona that resonated with a segment of the show's fanbase.

Career

Vanderpump Rules

Burnett became a cast member on Vanderpump Rules, the Bravo reality television series that premiered on January 7, 2013, as a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The series, which focuses on Lisa Vanderpump and the staff at her West Hollywood restaurants and bars — including SUR Restaurant & Lounge, Pump Restaurant, and Tom Tom — had already established itself as one of Bravo's most popular unscripted programs by the time Burnett joined.

Burnett's arrival on the series came during a period of notable upheaval in the show's cast. In June 2020, Bravo fired cast members Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute from the series after their past racially insensitive behavior came to light, including an incident in which they had reported a Black woman to the police. Additional cast members, including Jax Taylor, were also let go from the show. Other departures included Dayna Kathan, who announced she was leaving the series.

This wave of departures created opportunities for newer cast members like Burnett to take on more prominent roles within the show's narrative. Bravo confirmed details regarding the cast for the show's ninth season, with filming set to begin as the series continued to evolve its ensemble.

Burnett appeared on the show through its tenth season before departing the series. Her time on the show coincided with what many viewers considered a transformative era for Vanderpump Rules, as the program navigated significant cast changes while maintaining its position as a cornerstone of Bravo's unscripted programming lineup. The show, which had been renewed multiple times throughout its run, continued to attract audiences and critical attention.

Post-Show Career and Public Profile

Following her departure from Vanderpump Rules after Season 10, Burnett maintained a public profile through social media and continued to be referenced in connection with the show's broader franchise. The series itself went on to produce three spin-offs over its run: Vanderpump Rules After Show, Vanderpump Rules: Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky, and The Valley.

In May 2025, Burnett became the subject of public commentary from former castmate Peter Madrigal, a longtime SUR Restaurant manager and Vanderpump Rules personality. Madrigal described Burnett as "dishonest" after she stated publicly that she had never truly worked at SUR, the restaurant that serves as the central setting for the series. The exchange highlighted ongoing questions about the nature of employment at the reality television-featured establishment and the degree to which cast members' roles as restaurant staff were authentic versus arranged for the purposes of the show.

Personal Life

Burnett married Corey Loftus, her boyfriend of eight years, in November 2025. The couple held a destination wedding ceremony in San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. The location held particular personal significance for Burnett, as it is a region where her great-grandfather had roots. Burnett described the wedding as "deeply meaningful."

The wedding was attended by at least one fellow Vanderpump Rules alum, though the ceremony was described in media reports as relatively private compared to the public nature of Burnett's television career. Coverage of the nuptials appeared in multiple entertainment outlets, including People, Extra, Bravo, Yahoo, and The US Sun, reflecting Burnett's continued name recognition within the reality television sphere.

The US Sun characterized Burnett as having "quietly married" her longtime partner approximately two years after departing from the Bravo series.

Recognition

Burnett's time on Vanderpump Rules placed her within one of Bravo's most commercially successful and culturally discussed reality television franchises. The series, which first aired in 2013, aired twelve seasons and generated substantial media attention, particularly during the period of cast upheaval in which Burnett was a featured player.

Her wedding in November 2025 drew coverage from a range of entertainment media outlets, including an exclusive feature in People magazine, coverage on Bravo's own digital platform, and reporting from Extra, Yahoo Entertainment, AOL, MSN, and The US Sun. The breadth of this coverage indicated that Burnett retained public interest and media relevance following her departure from the show, a measure of recognition not always afforded to reality television cast members after leaving their respective series.

Fan reaction to Burnett's wedding was described as enthusiastic, with AOL noting that "fans are obsessed" with the nuptials.
