'Vanderpump Rules' Star Lala Kent Says She Is An Alcoholic

Lala Kent gets real about alcohol.

Lala Kent reveals she is an alcoholic.
On the current season of Vanderpump Rules, the 29-year-old said she and now-fiancé Randall Emmett (47) made a pact to stop drinking after a crazy night led to Kent getting naked and breaking a hurricane-proof window.

However, on Instagram Story on Sunday, the Bravolebrity revealed she had to get sober because of her dependence on booze.
The SUR hostess — who is using Bill Wilson‘s Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step program to get clean — admitted:

“Five months ago, I came to the realization that I am an alcoholic, and I am now a friend of Bill W., which you will never know how much this program means to me [and] has given me new life… I always say if you don’t have to be sober, I wouldn’t recommend it, but me — as someone who does need to be sober — being in my right frame of mind every single day is truly incredible… When I’m having the roughest day that I could possibly have, I — for once in a very, very long time — see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know that tomorrow I’m gonna be okay.”

The reality TV personality then got emotional when talking about dad Kent Burningham, who passed away last April.

“I’m thinking a lot about my dad today — not different from any other day — and I just feel very, very blessed that I think back on my time that I had with him and there’s no regrets.”

Though she said that “half of me is gone” following her father’s passing, she is “so grateful that I have this program and that I can mourn him,” adding:

“The program has allowed me to sit down and remember my dad in a clear frame of mind, and remember what he brought to my life, what he meant to me, what he taught me.”

Three months prior, in December 2018, Lisa Vanderpump‘s employee told People that she and her Hollywood producer beau were both 50 days sober.

“We’re just taking a different turn with our life… During the day, I was like, ‘How am I so down to drink right now?’ And after my dad passed away, we had lots of drinking.'”

She also revealed that giving up alcohol has lessened her anxiety.

“I have been open about suffering from anxiety, and not saying that I don’t anymore, but it has gone down tremendously since I gave up drinking and I don’t smoke weed anymore; I’m a clean baby!… I’m ready to be a healthy person.

As we wrote, in September 2018, Kent and Emmett got engaged during her birthday celebration in Cabo San Lucas.
