Former Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent posted a “soft launch” picture with Tom Schwartz, poking fun at those who believe fake AI-generated headlines that they are dating … which they aren’t.
Lala’s Instagram story:
In case people missed the sarcasm, Lala even posted that this “soft launch” photo with Schwartz is “not even real.”
The source of the fake news:
Facebook is out of control with AI-generated headlines and articles, like the following from https://t2news68.feji.io/blog. *Pro tip, if the site’s handle isn’t real words, it’s not a real site.*
The fake news claim: “BREAKING NEWS: Lala Kent CONFIRMS she’s officially in a romance with Tom Schwartz, stunning the Vanderpump Rules cast with whispers of baby plans less than a year in. Insiders say Lala isn’t holding back, sharing intimate details of her messy, complicated love life that have left friends and co-stars speechless. ‘I’m not here to sugarcoat it — it’s messy, it’s raw, and it’s real. But I’ve never felt more sure about us,’ she declares. Fans are buzzing, producers are reportedly intrigued, and the Valley is bracing for drama: with Lala’s bold honesty, loyalties, secrets, and old rivalries are about to collide like never before.”
Lala and Tom shut down the fake news earlier this summer:
The mother of two appeared on Tom’s podcast, Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz. The VPR alums set the record straight. Lala and Tom are not dating each other. Lala quipped at the rumor, “If it’s on the internet, it’s true, right?”
When Tom’s pod was recorded, Lala noted she’s not dating anyone. In fact, she hasn’t dated for a while. “I don’t think I haven’t thought about men in a romantic way in a very long time.”
However, she did reveal that she is “open to like whatever the universe places me in. We’re gonna know that’s where we’re supposed to be.”
