Lala Kent has been a part of the cast of Vanderpump Rules since season 4, and she quickly became a mainstay in the franchise. Over the years, she has formed close relationships with her costars but has also had her fair share of conflicts with them. Some of her biggest feuds on the show have been with Kristen Doute, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, and Raquel Leviss.
Kent and Maloney’s friendship took a turn for the worse when Maloney mentioned on her podcast that the vibes between them were off. Kent responded by explaining that she had a lot going on and accidentally forgot to wish Maloney a happy birthday. Despite attempts to work out their differences, Kent and Maloney’s friendship suffered a falling out before filming the show’s reunion special, and they were unable to reconcile their issues.
Kent and Leviss were at odds long before Leviss started dating Tom Schwartz. They had a history of disagreements, particularly regarding Leviss kissing Maloney’s ex-husband. Their feud escalated when news broke of Leviss’ affair with Tom Sandoval. Kent defended her feelings towards Leviss amid the drama, expressing her frustrations with the situation. Despite attempting to reconnect with Leviss, Kent regretted reaching out after learning about a tell-all interview Leviss did with Bethenny Frankel.
Kent and Doute’s feud began when Doute failed to defend Kent during a podcast where Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi shaded her. Kent hinted at bad blood between them, while Doute explained that she didn’t feel the need to fight for Kent in that situation. Doute expressed her disappointment in how Kent handled the drama and encouraged her to handle conflicts more directly. Kent later dismissed their former friendship and didn’t seem bothered by Doute’s comments.
Kent supported Madix during her breakup from Sandoval but continued to interact with Sandoval for the show. Rumors of tension between Kent and Madix at the season 11 reunion special surfaced, prompting Kent to address the rumors and hint at drama. Kent also expressed her thoughts on why Madix was losing friends after her breakup, suggesting that she may have moved on too quickly without processing her emotions.
Overall, Lala Kent’s time on Vanderpump Rules has been marked by both close friendships and heated feuds with her costars. Despite attempts to reconcile with some of her castmates, certain relationships have remained strained. Kent has not been afraid to speak her mind and address conflicts openly on the show, contributing to the drama and intrigue that has made the series a fan favorite.
