Lala Kent took to her Give Them Lala podcast to address pressing questions from fans and provide an unfiltered look into the challenges she encountered during the tumultuous Vanderpump Rules Season 11.
Maintaining honesty, Kent expressed feelings of betrayal saying, I feel like these people who I thought were so honest are actually not. I was feeling like, ‘Oh we got some fraudulence in the mix,’
showcasing her frustration with the lack of transparency from her co-stars.
The Real Reason Behind Moving
Lala set the record straight concerning rumors about her moving to join another show. I have not had any conversations about entering ‘The Valley,’
she clarified. Lala revealed that her decision to purchase a house in the valley was driven by practical considerations. I bought a house in the valley because I could not afford a home that was large enough for my family, with a yard, in the flats of Beverly Hills,
she explained.
Navigating Criticism and Relationships
Kent addressed misunderstandings about her relationship with Tom Sandoval. Despite perceptions, she did not ride hard for him during Season 11. I didn’t show up to his events that he invited me to. I practiced compassion and simply acknowledged that a human being was a human being,
she articulated.
Her willingness to show compassion did not safeguard her from criticism. It’s wild that I was actually lit on fire because of it this season,
she reflected.
The Struggles of Filming
Kent divulged the inner battle she faced during filming saying, This season I was really being obliterated… And it really hurt my feelings.
She further demonstrated vulnerability discussing how personal attacks affected her wellbeing.
Tensions with Castmates
The mayhem surrounding Vanderpump Rules reached an emotional climax this season. In describing her stance towards Ariana Madix post-Scandoval, Kent maintained loyalty while acknowledging conflicts. I would always pick her… Still, right now, even with us not seeing eye-to-eye, if you said, ‘Pick Sandoval or Ariana,’ it’s a no-brainer,
she emphasized.
The Decision to Unfollow
Lala’s social media actions have spoken volumes. Addressing why she unfollowed former friends Ariana and Katie Maloney, she confessed that self-care motivated her actions:
If unfollowing people who don’t make me feel good keeps me where the light is—especially being pregnant—then that’s what I’m going to do.
Kent explained,
This season was very tough for me, and I felt like there were moments where I was having people come at me for things that had nothing to do with the show.
Sincere Support and Realizations
Lala has consistently backed Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop venture, Something About Her. Kent’s support is evident as she indicated,
I care tremendously about Katie’s business… I have done nothing but support Something About Her since they came up with the idea.
An Evolving View on Friendships
Kent honestly assessed her own friendship qualities stating,
I think I’m a friend. If you’re looking for a great friend or a bad friend, I’m in the middle.
