Lala Kent, a long-time cast member of Bravo's hit reality TV show Vanderpump Rules, recently made headlines when she shared her thoughts on which of her co-stars has the biggest ego. In a candid interview with E! News, Lala, who has been a part of the show for seven seasons, didn't hold back when she was asked whether she thought Tom Sandoval or Ariana Madix had the bigger ego.
"Oh, Ariana is blowing us all out of the water, even me, which is wild," Lala said, surprising many with her response. This revelation comes amidst growing tension between Lala and Ariana, as Lala has been vocal about her support for Tom Sandoval in the wake of the highly publicized cheating scandal known as "Scandoval."
During the filming of Vanderpump Rules season 10, Lala was going through a difficult time in her personal life, dealing with a contentious divorce and custody battle with her ex-partner. When news broke about Tom Sandoval's affair with Rachel "Raquel" Leviss, which ultimately led to his split from Ariana Madix, Lala found herself ready to fight battles on Ariana's behalf.
However, as Vanderpump Rules season 11 has progressed, Lala's relationship with Ariana has become strained. Lala has criticized Ariana's friendship with their co-star Scheana Shay, and has even gone as far as defending Tom Sandoval at times. This has led to growing tension between the two women, with viewers witnessing the drama unfold on screen.
Lala's willingness to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in has been a defining characteristic of her time on the show. She has never shied away from confrontation, and has always maintained that honesty and truth are of the utmost importance to her.
In a previous appearance on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Lala who she currently trusted the most among her castmates. At the time, Lala responded, "Katie's a vault, okay? Girl's a vault." However, when asked who she trusted the least, Lala surprised viewers by saying, "Honestly, all three of them, I would trust them with my life, honestly." It remains to be seen if her opinions have changed since then, especially in light of the recent drama.
As Vanderpump Rules season 11 continues to air, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming reunion episode. Last season's reunion was filled with explosive moments, including Rachel "Raquel" Leviss' restraining order against Scheana Shay, which prevented them from being in the same room during filming.
When asked what viewers can expect from her at this year's reunion, Lala teased, "I think you're getting a brand-new Lala and the reunion, they've done something that they've never done before, and it was genius and so uncomfortable, and just thinking about it, my heart is pounding."
One of the many storylines this season has revolved around Scheana's belief that she should have been chosen to compete on Dancing With The Stars instead of Ariana. Scheana had been taking dance lessons in preparation for the opportunity, but ultimately, Ariana was selected due to her connection to the highly publicized "Scandoval." While Lala believes Scheana means well, she acknowledges that her co-star often struggles to "land the plane" and hopes that Scheana will have a chance to compete on the show in the future.
As Vanderpump Rules season 11 continues, viewers are witnessing the cast members navigate a web of complicated relationships and emotions in the aftermath of the explosive events of season 10. Some are trying to move past the anger and hurt, while others are drawing clear boundaries when it comes to their interactions with certain castmates.
With the reunion episode on the horizon, fans can expect even more drama and revelations as the cast comes together to hash out their differences and confront the issues that have been plaguing them throughout the season. Lala Kent's comments about Ariana Madix's ego have only added fuel to the fire, and viewers are eager to see how this will play out when the cast is face-to-face once again.
