"Tell Me Lies is the scripted version of it," Van Patten tells Bustle of the Bravo mainstay. Much like VPR, the Hulu show centers on a group of young, hot couples doing horrible things to one another. Lucy and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White), however, are the hottest and most horrible of the bunch. "They're like Stassi Schroeder and Jax Taylor in early seasons," she says.
"If you're so young and that's how your first relationship is, then that's how you see love at that age," says Van Patten who, off-camera, is in a (healthy) relationship with White. "So there's probably some sadistic behavior that goes on that's like, 'If something's not [like that dynamic], then it must not be love.'"
"I was just telling Jackson, 'The only way for Lucy to not engage with Stephen is if he died or went to jail,'" she says. Though, on second thought, she's not sure even prison could keep Lucy away. "She's going to become like a Ted Bundy wife."
