Lala Kent and Katie Maloney’s heated exchange during the Vanderpump Rules reunion has everyone talking. The drama, palpable and electric, centered on accusations of dishonesty and betrayal. Lala didn’t mince words when she accused Katie of not being truthful about her grievances with Ariana Madix throughout Season 11.
Katie Responds to Lala’s Accusations
Following the explosive reunion, Katie took to Instagram Stories to clarify her position. She shared, I had an emotional response that didn’t feel appropriate bringing to her front door so I went to where I felt safe. Or where I thought was safe.
She expressed her struggles with imposter syndrome and how it affected her actions, especially towards Ariana, who was navigating new opportunities amidst personal turmoil.
The After Show Controversy
On the Vanderpump Rules After Show, Lala wasn’t done yet. She revealed that Katie often voiced her concerns off-camera but shied away when the cameras rolled. According to Lala, Katie had strong opinions about Ariana still living with Tom Sandoval post-breakup but chose to stay silent on-screen.
Ariana’s Breakup Adds Fuel to the Fire
The backdrop to all this drama is Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss, which rocked the group dynamics. The tension spilled over into business ventures as well, complicating Katie and Ariana’s sandwich shop partnership.
Lala’s Stunning Look Amidst the Drama
Despite all the chaos, Lala looked absolutely stunning at the reunion. Wearing a floor-length lilac gown by Oscar de la Renta paired with Amina Muaddi heels, she channeled what she described in a May Instagram Story as whimsical, flowy, feminine, and delicate.
Lala also hinted that her issues stemmed from broader group dynamics, noting how both Ariana and Tom surround themselves with people who agree with them. This insight sheds light on why some cast members might act differently on camera versus off camera.
Katie’s Final Word
Katie concluded her message in another Instagram Story set to the song I Hope You Choke! by Movements, emphasizing her values of trust, loyalty, and integrity.
