Lala Kent is calling out the co-stars who keep “coming” at her on Vanderpump Rules and claiming that she’s being targeted this season. During the season premiere, Lala got into it with Ariana Madix shortly after seemingly settling her feuds with Scheana Shay and Raquel Leviss. With all the unfinished business Lala had coming into the show, welcoming a daughter didn’t stop her from getting called out. After watching the episode back, Lala is convinced that her co-stars are out to get her in season 9.
With the show’s resident villains getting the boot, Lala’s outspoken clap-backs have seemingly thrust her into the forefront of the show. As one of the few remaining veterans following the cast shakeup, Lala actually had closer ties with the axed cast members than she does with the ones left over. As a result, Lala is the odd one out and walking into tense situations anytime she links up with the cast. During the premiere, Lala and Scheana were able to put their differences aside with Scheana owning up to heightening a feud that could’ve been solved privately and not in the media. Meanwhile, Raquel had some things to get off her chest after getting yelled at by Lala in season 8. The two melted the ice, but it also left a sense that their feud wasn’t over.
After watching the back-to-back showdowns take place, Lala hosted a Q&A on Instagram and didn’t hold back. “Did you feel like everyone was coming for you? Thought it was unfair,” one fan said, as captured by Reality Blurb. “Yes, it just kept coming,” Lala said in response. “It keeps coming… just wait. Luckily my mama raised a savage. [And] no one will tell me otherwise,” she added. It’s clear that Lala is on the defense with her castmates. It’s not like it’s something new for her. But it’s more visible when the more controversial cast members are absent.
It wasn’t the only shade Lala spewed out. She also subtly shaded Ariana after she briefly took down a photo of the “Fab Four” that included Lala, Katie Maloney, and fired cast members Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute. When Ariana left a comment telling her she was living in the “past” Lala briefly archived the post before reposting it with an edited caption. “I had to, it’s not the deep,” Lala said. During her Q&A, when a follower asked why she briefly took it down, Lala claimed it was because “Someone got affected.” She also added a photo that showed her rolling her eyes as another subtle jab at Ariana. Lala is definitely rubbing her co-stars and viewers the wrong way this season.
She was able to dodge a lot of the drama in the past because Jax Taylor didn’t need any help in that department. But with much of the veteran cast being let go, Lala is forced to keep the show entertaining. A teaser for next week’s episode showed Lala getting into it with Charli Burnett. It looks like no one is off-limits for Lala. One would think, she would be a lot more chill considering she’s a new mom. But Lala is staying true to the “savage” her mom apparently raised her to be. The Vanderpump Rules star might have a long list of enemies by the season’s end.
