Lala Kent is keeping her (seemingly one-sided) feud with Ariana Madix going, even if the cameras aren’t there to capture it.
As viewers saw on the first full post-Scandoval season of Vanderpump Rules, Season 11 concluded with Ariana and Lala’s friendship on the fray after Lala and Scheana Shay broke the fourth wall to voice their frustration over Ariana allegedly not carrying her weight on the Bravo series by refusing to have an on-air conversation with her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval. The tension between the former friends continued at the Season 11 reunion.
On Tuesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Lala was asked about the current state of her and Ariana’s friendship, to which she told host Jeff Lewis, “we don’t have one.”
Podcast host Ryan Bailey, who was also a guest on Tuesday’s episode, proceeded to ask Lala if there had been any “thawing” to the feud or if she had tried to speak to Ariana– or vise-versa– in an attempt to reconcile the friendship.
“That will never happen,” Lala replied.
As The Ashley previous told you, Lala– who welcomed her second child last month– made similar comments about her fractured friendship with co-star Katie Maloney in September, revealing on her Give Them Lala podcast that she doesn’t think she and Katie “have anything in common anymore” and that their once-close friendship has “ran its course.”
In response to Lala’s comments regarding her friendship with Ariana, Jeff noted on Tuesday’s show that when “incredible damage” is done to relationships on reality shows, they can sometimes become so irreparable that it causes a show to end, speculating that ‘Vanderpump Rules’ “is probably one of” those cases. (As The Ashley previously reported, production on the show’s 12th season remaining “on pause.”)
“Where do you go from here?” Jeff asked, to which Lala replied, “Let’s just say there’s no more story to tell, right?”
While Lala hasn’t held back on her feelings towards Ariana, (or Katie, for that matter) she doesn’t blame Ariana for what’s happened among the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ cast.
“There’s only two people to blame for that and that’s Sandoval and [Rachel Leviss], OK,” Lala said, before going on to surprisingly pay Ariana a compliment.
“Ariana, I will always be a cheerleader for,” she said. “To watch someone … she was absolutely fantastic on Broadway, I heard she killed it [as the host of] Love Island– I’ve never watched the show and certainly didn’t start watching it, because we were not good.
“I have no ill feelings about anybody on [‘Vanderpump Rules’] and I think that’s what feels for the first time, like, I just feel peace,” she added.
Despite Lala claiming to have “no ill feelings” towards any of her cast members, she made a point to unfollow both Ariana and Katie on social media back in June and has yet to re-follow either cast member. Meanwhile, both Ariana and Katie continue to follow Lala on Instagram.
Ariana has not responded to Lala’s latest comments.

Lala just mad she made fool of herself. Arianna carried that show whether she talked to Tom or not. Her hang up on Arianna still living with him, Arianna actually OWNED house too, uike lala didn’t own crap til she made money off Arianna misery, she needs to thank her.
I’m sure Ariana is just devastated by her friendship with Lala being broken.🙄
What I do find interesting is that Lala and Scheana both complained that Ariana wouldn’t film with Sandoval. Which is her right. I definitely wouldn’t want to be in the same room having forced conversation with my cheating ex. Since they are both joining the Valley (God help me) I wonder if they will run their mouths about Brittany? Brittany has refused to film with Jax.
If garners them favor with fans they will!
That’s bad news for me. I have a limit on the number of people I despise being a show and still being able to watch it. I’m already maxed out for The Valley with Kristen (I hate liars and she’s pathological).
