The latest drama surrounding Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent and her digs at co-star Ariana Madix is making waves again, but not necessarily holding fans’ excitement. The tension between the two reality TV personalities reached new heights, especially after Lala’s recent comments on the Vanderpump Rules: After Show
.
Tensions Reach a Boiling Point
Lala Kent talking to fans about her feelings towards Ariana Madix revealed a lot about the ongoing friction. During an interaction with fans on her podcast Give Them Lala, she openly criticized Ariana.
She stated, Off-camera everyone was really pissed off about how she was maneuvering through the season. No one wanted to talk about it, and then all of a sudden, what Ariana says, no one f**king questions
. This candid remark only added more fuel to the fire that already burns between them.
Divergent Paths on Social Media
The tension escalated further when fans noticed that Lala Kent had unfollowed Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney on social media. When asked why she unfollowed them during her Amazon Live session, she gave conflicting reasons, adding confusion among fans. Initially, Lala mentioned she was simply looking to follow people who bring positivity into her life, and unfollowed those who didn’t fit this criterion.
This situation was fueled by the reunion showdown where Lala accused Ariana of manipulating the show’s dynamics by refusing to interact with Tom Sandoval after their highly publicized fallout.
Conflicting Narratives Unveiled
In an after-show discussion, Lala didn’t hold back in expressing her frustration. I’ve never seen someone go from, like, the entire world being so indifferent to this person. It was like no one ever spoke about her, and now what she says f**king goes
, she remarked. This indicates a significant shift in the dynamics within the cast and clearly points to underlying issues brewing for some time.
A Shift in Public Sentiment
This season saw significant drama unfold for these two stars, one memorable instance being when Madix confirmed that she still wants to be part of the cast for Season 11 stating if they’ll have me
. However, she emphasized her resistance to film with either Leviss or Sandoval.
The criticism from Lala comes partly due to Ariana’s refusal to engage directly with Tom Sandoval amidst their scandal. This avoidance has significantly impacted the show’s narrative direction.
An Icy Reunion
The reunion special provided a rare moment for the trio – Lala, Katie, and Ariana – to discuss their friendships and realign or detach based on their experiences from filming Season 11. While viewers initially anticipated reconciliation or at least peace talks, Lala’s constant remarks have only led to more division and conflict among them.
The apparent reason for these fractured friendships seems rooted in personal grievances and mishandling of sensitive topics on-air and off-camera. Only time will tell if these apparent cracks can heal before they return for another season.
