Lala Kent explained why she is interested in watching the “Vanderpump Rules” reboot after Bravo cut her and her co-stars from the cast.
Kent appeared in Friday’s episode of her former castmate Scheana Shay’s “Scheananigans” podcast, on which they talked about the bombshell news of the long-running show being revamped.
“I feel like we’ve graduated,” Kent said. “It’s just not the same. Nothing lasts forever, and I’m really excited to see this group of new young [people] just excited about life.”
The “Give Them Lala” podcast host, 34, added that she hopes the new group will embrace the show’s roots and “f–k each other” and have “f–king meltdowns.”
“It’s all f–king good!” she reiterated. “I know what this show did for me and my life, and it completely changed it. I’m so excited to see another group of people.”
Kent encouraged the new stars, who have yet to be announced, to “take advantage” of their time on the series because it does not last forever.
However, the “Give Them Lala” author also expressed hesitation, calling the original cast a “once-in-a-lifetime” group and “lightning in a bottle.”
“As excited as I am for these new Vanderpumpers, I’m like, you guys have really big shoes to fill,” she said. “Like, there were so many authentic connections that you just don’t find very often. It’s like once in a blue moon.”
Shay, 39, agreed with Kent and admitted she had “mixed feelings” over the reboot but was overall “at peace” with it.
“We had such a good f–king run,” she said. “I am so proud of us.”
The former co-stars both said they “knew” the news was coming and had been “waiting for that moment.”
The “Good as Gold” singer also confirmed reports that she will be making appearances on the spinoff show “The Valley” and teased that she and Kent both have the “opportunity to continue having our stories being told.”
Shortly after Bravo announced Tuesday that Season 12 will feature a “new group of close-knit SUR-vers,” several cast members, including Shay and Kent, took to social media to share emotional posts about their time on the show.
The series also included Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz and James Kennedy. Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute and Jax Taylor were OG stars who departed after Season 8.
While Bravo has yet to share more details about the upcoming installment, production is set to begin next year.
