Scheana Shay weighed in on the rumored confrontation between Lala Kent and Ariana Madix at the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 11 reunion during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.” Shay expressed understanding of Kent’s frustrations with Madix, but also praised Kent for being loyal and an incredible friend. She hinted that viewers will understand the situation better after the reunion and finale air.
Speculation about a falling out between Kent and Madix arose after rumors spread about a heated argument at the reunion. Reports suggested that Madix had “eviscerated” Kent, leading to the end of their friendship. However, Kent later implied that she was the one who had “eviscerated” Madix, which Lisa Vanderpump supported. Vanderpump explained that the argument was complicated and related to Tom Sandoval’s mental health struggles following backlash over his affair with Rachel Leviss while still dating Madix.
Vanderpump suggested that Kent was more understanding of Sandoval’s struggles, while Madix was not as willing to listen. She noted that emotions were heightened during the confrontation and there was tension between the former friends. Despite the current lack of communication between Kent and Madix, Vanderpump remains hopeful that their friendship can be mended, as the group is outspoken but forgiving after everything they have been through.
Kent and Madix have not publicly addressed the reunion or the rumored confrontation. “Vanderpump Rules” continues to air on Bravo with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. Vanderpump remains optimistic that the unresolved issues between Kent and Madix can be resolved in the future, given the group’s history of forgiveness and working through challenges. The situation remains complex and viewers will have to wait until after the reunion and finale air to fully understand the dynamics between the former friends.
