During a guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Lala Kent gave a status update on her friendships with the cast of Vanderpump Rules and The Valley.
The VPR friend group:
First, Andy Cohen asked Lala about the show’s breakout star, Ariana Madix. “We don’t speak. She’s killing it, and I’m thrilled about it.”
“And I mean it,” reassured Lala to her skeptics. Bravo TV‘s daddy asked if she’s been in contact with Ariana since the reunion. “No, I have not,” answered Ocean and Sosa’s mom.
Lala’s friendship remains fractured with Katie Maloney as well. “We have not spoken since the reunion either. Nothing.”
Andy asked about Tom Sandoval. Lala revealed, “He will reach out every so often. I’m the worst texter in the world, so I rarely respond.” Lala figured, “We weren’t friends before. Too little, too late … buddy.”
Of course, Andy asked about Lala’s friendship with Tom Schwartz. “I just saw Schwartzie the other day,” Lala beamed. “I’m back to loving his little puppy dog, nail biting thing when he’s nervous. I like him.”
Regarding Lisa Vanderpump, Lala declared, “I love LVP.”
Lala’s friendship status with The Valley cast:
Andy pivoted from WeHo to The Valley with his next batch of names for Lala.
As for Lala’s relationship with Kristen Doute, Lala told the WWHL audience, “We don’t speak either. But, I have to say … ” Andy cut her off to offer some light shade. “You’re really good with the group,” he joked. Lala did admit she’s “burned a lot of bridges.”
She laughed it off and confessed she “had to block” The Valley’s villain, Jax Taylor. But, I see “him at school. Our kids go to school together, so I’ll be like, ‘What’s up, dude?'”
Andy’s mouth remained agape as Lala revealed, “Summer Moon, Cruzey, and Ocean go to school together. Like most of us watching, an awestruck Andy quipped, “I want to see that show!”
What about Brittany Cartwright? Lala said, I “love Brittany. We’re thick.”
Regarding the rest of the cast of The Valley, Lala explained, “I’ve known a lot of them for many years. So, we’re good.”
“But, I’m also not on a show with them. It tends to change a bit once cameras come up. Everyone comes out of the woodwork. It’s a whole thing.”
Although Andy didn’t ask, Lala reminded the audience that she’s still very close with Scheana Shay. …
@tof_r Unpopular opinion- I don’t think #VPR needs to return, and this is why. I appreciate Lala’s honesty, though. 🤷🏻♀️ Thoughts?? #lalakent #vanderpumprules #bravotv #wwhl ♬ original sound – Taste of Reality
