Lala Kent has been open about her feelings towards her Vanderpump Rules costars, with whom she has had both good and bad relationships over the years. From miscommunications to subtle shade, Kent has had her fair share of feuds with Kristen Doute, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Raquel Leviss, and Brittany Cartwright. One of her biggest feuds was with Katie Maloney, which stemmed from a miscommunication and ultimately led to an off-screen falling out before filming the reunion special for season 10. Despite attempts to reconcile, Kent and Maloney couldn’t get their friendship back on track, leading to more tension between them in season 11.
Another significant feud for Kent was with Raquel Leviss, which began when Leviss started dating James Kennedy, Kent’s friend. Rumors of Kennedy’s infidelity caused tension between Kent and Leviss. Despite attempts to make amends, their relationship deteriorated even further after Leviss kissed Maloney’s ex-husband, Tom Schwartz. The feud escalated after news of Leviss’ affair with Tom Sandoval broke, causing Kent to express her disapproval of Leviss’ actions. Kent defended her stance, stating that everyone on a reality show should be mentally prepared to handle anything that comes their way.
Kent’s feud with Kristen Doute started after Doute attended a podcast taping where Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi shaded Kent, and Doute didn’t back her up. Kent took this personally, leading to rumors of a feud between the two. Doute later clarified why she didn’t defend Kent, mentioning her admiration for Kent as a mother but feeling hurt by Kent’s handling of the situation. Despite Kent not caring about their former friendship, tensions remained between the two. Kent also had disagreements with Ariana Madix, particularly after the aftermath of Madix’s breakup with Sandoval. Rumors circulated of a possible feud between Kent and Madix during the season 11 reunion special, hinting at unresolved drama.
The most recent feud for Kent was with Brittany Cartwright, which arose over a babysitter-related issue. Cartwright reached out to Kent’s mother about the hiring of a babysitter without permission, causing a heated exchange between the two. Kent clarified the situation, emphasizing the importance of the distinction between a babysitter and a nanny, and expressed her frustration with Cartwright’s actions. Despite the feud, Kent revealed during the season 11 reunion show that she was pregnant with her second child through intrauterine insemination (IUI) and plans to raise her baby girl with her mother.
Overall, Lala Kent has faced multiple feuds with her Vanderpump Rules costars over the years, ranging from miscommunications to personal disagreements. While some friendships experienced setbacks and never fully recovered, Kent has also shown attempts to reconcile and make amends with those she’s had issues with. Through it all, Kent has remained open and honest about her feelings towards her costars, leading to a roller coaster of relationships within the Bravo series. As the show continues to progress, it remains to be seen how Kent’s relationships with her costars will evolve in the future.
