Lala Kent finally breaks and reveals what she really thinks about Ariana Madix in tonight’s emotional Vanderpump Rules Season 11 finale.
After Scheana Shay performs her Rachel “Raquel” Leviss diss track “Apples” for the first time, Tom Sandoval attempts to approach Madix to seemingly apologize for his affair. However, Madix remains firm in her no-contact rule with her cheating ex-boyfriend and not only does she walk away, but she breaks the fourth wall by telling producers that she is leaving the event altogether.
Madix awaits her ride to Applebees with her new beau and some other friends, while Sandoval goes off about his ex-girlfriend’s refusal to film with him, claiming that she “talks shit” about the rest of the cast.
“If you don’t want to film with your ex, don’t be on the show,” he fumes. “Don’t sit back on your fucking lazy ass and collect a fucking check for doing nothing.”
At that point, Kent appears to fully turn on Madix.
“This happened to her. The world rallied around her. She now thinks she is Beyoncé,” the Give Them Lala author says. “It’s bullshit that she can’t film with someone that she stays under the same roof!”
She continues, “It’s a lot that she’s saying, ‘Don’t fuck with Tom Sandoval, but I’m gonna sleep down the hall from Tom Sandoval.’ I get it. He fucking cheated. You did a really fucking shitty thing. It was weird how you looked us all in the eye and said a lot of shit. But he did not kill somebody!”
Shay then agrees that the situation is “unfair” to them, before Kent adds, “I have never in my life experienced someone who gets cheated on and suddenly she becomes God.”
Kent further explains her perspective in her confessional, where she says Madix walking out of the event feels like “a slap in the face.”
“We’ve all experienced high highs and low lows,” Kent continues. “There’s a responsibility that comes with living your life on camera. You have to be truthful even when it’s extremely uncomfortable.”
Madix, on the other hand, tells cameras that Sandoval “never” tried to talk to her off-camera.
“He could’ve written something in a fucking letter and left it on the kitchen counter and I could’ve read it at my leisure,” she says in her confessional. “But if he would only do it on camera — to me, you just showed your true colors.”
The episode ends with what appears to be a hot mic moment as Sandoval revels over Kent’s outburst against Madix.
“I love it,” he says with a laugh. “It’s good for me.”
Vanderpump Rules airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
