Lala Kent opened up about the demise of her relationships with Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, and Kristen Doute on the latest episode of her podcast, and she suggested her friendship with Katie was over for good.
The 33-year-old Vanderpump Rules star, who is currently pregnant with her second child, said that while many of her friendships on the show have ended, she looks back on them with appreciation.
“They all have a really special place in my heart. I had a really fun time with Ariana when I first was on the show … Katie … we were friends for a really long time, but season 10, I felt that that friendship was really on point,” Lala revealed on the August 21 episode of Give Them Lala.
Although Lala’s relationships with Ariana, 39, and Katie, 37, both became strained amid season 11, she acknowledged that her friendship with Katie helped her navigate a very difficult time in her life.
“I don’t want to say served its purpose like I needed to get something out of it, but when I think back, I’m like, even though it was a hard time in my life, that friendship really got me through a tough time in my life, so that friendship, I’m very fond of,” Lala said of Katie.
She then noted that she had “really fun times” with Kristen, 41, and Stassi Schroeder, 36.
“I’ve had fun times where it was like, I think about me and the Witches of WeHo, where there were so many fun times that if I could go back and relive those moments, I totally would,” she admitted.
According to Lala, it is “sad” to see things “shift” between her and Katie as they were “very close,” and she hinted their friendship was done.
“I don’t think now we have anything in common … I don’t even know what we would talk about. We’re in such different places and I think that friendship was meant to be the way it was for the time being and it ran its course,” she stated. “And I think that that’s totally okay.”
“I have nothing but fond memories of that friendship. I have nothing but fond memories of the friendship I had with Ariana and Doute, but people change and move on, and there’s not a lot to talk about anymore, and we’re just in different stages of life,” she continued, “So no matter why we fell off, I don’t really give a sh*t. What I do know is the time that we had together I really enjoyed, and I wish them all the best.”
Vanderpump Rules remains on hiatus following season 11.
