Lala Kent slammed the comparison of her own friendship ultimatum against ex Randall Emmett versus Ariana Madix’s friendship ultimatum against ex Tom Sandoval. She also suggested Ariana is losing people in their friend group and that she should’ve taken a “break” from Vanderpump Rules.
In the past, both Lala and Ariana declared they wouldn’t be friends with anyone who is still friends with their respective exes (both of whom were accused of cheating). But throughout the current season, Lala called out Ariana’s demanding rules.
“I also wasn’t living under the same roof as him,” said Lala, addressing the comparison with her ex Randall. “I think that’s where [Ariana’s] maybe losing a couple people in the group is you’re talking about how unsafe you feel.”
“Yet you live in the same house as [Sandoval],” she added on Jeff Lewis Live, via @Breakingtherulespod on Instagram. “[Also] you’re talking about, you know, this devastated me, but you met a new guy 10 days later, so I wanted her to kind of explain how all of these things can be true at once and I was looked at as kind of an idiot, like ‘how could you not even understand this.’”
Lala said she truly felt “unsafe” after her past relationship – so much that she left in the middle of the night and “paid cash for an Airbnb” because she didn’t want to leave a “paper trail.”
She also indicated that Ariana should have taken a break this season.
“I think it would have been good for her to take a break,” she stated, before addressing the reality that Lala and the cast are expected to film with Tom. “We’re an ensemble cast. You have to take everyone else into consideration as well.”
