VPR Feud Continues! Lala Kent Calls Ariana Madix & Katie Maloney’s Reaction To Cast Shakeup A ‘Slap In The Face’!

Feud Continues! Lala Kent Feels Ariana Madix & Katie Maloney’s Reaction To VPR Firing Was A ‘Slap In The Face’!

Lala Kent’s bitter feud with Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney rages on as she once again slams her former co-stars, this time for their reactions to the Vanderpump Rules firing

Back in November, Bravo announced the iconic reality show would continue with Season 12 — but with a brand new cast. The news wasn’t much of a surprise given all the bad blood between the cast members in the wake of Scandoval. While everyone appreciated their time on VPR, two of them seemed relieved it was over — Katie and Ariana! In fact, Katie didn’t plan to come back to the show before Bravo decided to recast them! That’s how done she was with Vanderpump Rules! She said on her podcast Disrespectfully:

“I didn’t plan on returning. I had made a decision months ago after this past season. I needed to move on with my life. I had talked to our producers about it and I told them my decision on that. I felt personally ready to move on from the show. I felt like my life and where I was at was moving in a different direction. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, I was prepared to move on from the show.”

Meanwhile, Ariana expressed to Us Weekly how she was glad the news was finally “out there” and that she didn’t “have to sit here holding that” anymore. These two women have been through A LOT over the years on the show! Between cheating scandals, huge breakups, and friendship troubles, it all takes a toll on a person. Can you blame them for no longer wanting to deal with drama constantly anymore?

But unfortunately, just because they aren’t on the show, doesn’t mean they can avoid beef with their former castmates. Not when Lala is still holding on to a grudge! You see, she has not been on good terms with Ariana and Katie. They don’t even speak to each other these days! And now, Lala is calling them out for acting like “everyone’s fine with” the shakeup.

While on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast on Tuesday, the Give Them Lala author slammed Ariana and Katie’s reactions, saying:

“I don’t want to say that I’m fine with it because I’m not. It was like the greatest time of my whole life. But at some point, you have to look at the bigger picture and say, ‘Are we even able to film it any longer?’ I just don’t think we were able to film it any longer. So anyone who’s acting okay with it, I feel like it’s a slap in the face.”

Lala pointed out that they should be thankful for everything the show has given them over the years, such as Ariana’s Love Island USA hosting gig, Katie’s podcast, or their sandwich shop Something About Her. She continued:

“There are moments where I look around and I’m like, ‘Do we realize we have all these opportunities that are fabulous because of Vanderpump Rules? Without this show, no one gives a f**k about any of us, and I just tried to always remember that. I always tried to remember what got me to this place, because before Vanderpump Rules, I was just a bitch trying to beat the streets, a squirrel trying to get a nut. This show changed my whole life.”

Katie and Ariana never said they weren’t thankful for the show and the opportunities they got from it. They were just ready to move on! And there’s nothing wrong with that!

But what do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Were Katie and Ariana’s reaction a slap in the face to you? Let us know in the comments.
