Lаlа Kent Sһаres Her One Regret Wіtһ Arіаnа Mаdіx Amіd Tһeіr Feud on Vаnderрumр Rules, Plus Insіder Teаses Her Role on Tһe Vаlley & Hіnts аt Seраrаte Projeсt Wіtһ Tom Sсһwаrtz

Lala Kent has one regret about Vanderpump Rules season 11, and it involves her friend-turned-foe, Ariana Madix.

As she and Ariana, 39, remain estranged with no hope for future reconciliation, Lala, 34, appeared on Scheana Shay‘s podcast, where she spoke of nearly quitting the show after season 10 and admitted to making a wrong move with her castmate as an insider spoke out about her upcoming role on The Valley season two.

“I was adamant after season 10, I am not coming back to Vanderpump Rules. I’m on such a f*cking high. And they were like, ‘Just one more season,’” Lala revealed on the November 29 episode of Scheananigans, via Breaking the Rules Pod Clips on Instagram. “And I was like, ‘This is gonna turn out very badly. I’m just letting you all know it’s gonna turn out badly.’ [And] it turned out worse than what I prepared them for.”

Looking back on the events of season 11, Lala said there was “one thing” she “would’ve changed.”

“I wish that after the finale, after I lost my mind, that I would’ve called Ariana and said, ‘I want to let you know that I said some really, really hurtful things that’ll probably be friendship ending,'” Lala shared. “It was not my style. I can’t even believe that I didn’t do that because I’m so adamant about when I say things behind your back, I’m gonna say it to your face. I still went to her show. I still supported her, all the while knowing that I said what I said.”

According to Lala, she wasn’t truly angry at Ariana as a person. Rather, she was mad at Ariana for the show after she refused to film a sit-down with ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval, 43, after his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30.

“I don’t regret saying what I said. I regret not giving her the heads up,” Lala added.

In other news, Lala, along with Scheana, 39, and Tom Schwartz, 42, are set to appear on The Valley following the recasting of Pump Rules.

“It’s natural for Lala to be around everyone [on The Valley]. It’s not forced,” a source told Us Weekly on November 27. “She’s naturally around them all the time … They are all friends and their kids are around each other too. She enjoys hanging out with them.”

In addition to filming for The Valley, the insider added that Lala “recently filmed” a different project with Schwartz.

As Pump Rules fans may have seen, Lala reacted to her firing on Instagram after the news was shared, via press release, earlier this week.

“Where to begin. I was a young girl from Salt Lake City who made her way to L.A. I would introduce myself as Lauren, but because my childhood best friend referred to me as Lala, my nickname quickly stuck,” she wrote on Tuesday. “Sur was a place that became home. I found myself not only sipping on vodka sodas there, but behind a hostess stand … it still to this day is the most intimidating job I’ve ever had. A short time later the opportunity to be on a show called Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me.”

“This show changed my whole life. I’m unbelievably grateful for every moment. I’m unbelievably grateful for Bravo, for NBCU, for our crew, the entire cast, and most importantly all of you. We rocked this b— until the wheels fell off,” she added.

The Valley season two is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime in early 2025.
