Lala Kent<\/strong><\/a> is confident that Jax Taylor<\/strong><\/a> and Kristen Doute<\/strong><\/a> would have been her partners in crime in uncovering Tom Sandoval<\/strong><\/a> and Raquel Leviss<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 affair if they were still on Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one wanted to hear me on this,\u201d Lala, 32, claimed during her appearance on the \u201cWhen Reality Hits With Jax & Brittany<\/a>\u201d podcast, which aired on Tuesday, June 27. \u201cPeople love to live in the \u2018if this didn\u2019t happen, you would look so bad\u2019 [headspace]. If we live in the \u2018if,\u2019 then we have to live in the \u2018probably.\u2019 \u2026 I had this gut feeling<\/a> because it was f\u2014king happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Us Weekly<\/em> confirmed in March that Sandoval, 40, and Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> split after nine years once she learned of his months-long affair with Raquel<\/a>, 28. While the scandal did eventually come to light on camera \u2014 with additional footage being filmed for the season 10 finale<\/a> \u2014 Lala revealed on Tuesday that things may have unfolded sooner if both Jax, 43, and Kristen, 40, were still on Pump Rules<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201c[Kristen] would have hacked into their phones,\u201d Lala joked, noting that Kristen \u2014 who was fired from the Bravo series in June 2020<\/a> alongside Stassi Schroeder<\/strong><\/a> after their past racist behavior resurfaced \u2014 would have had her back amid her speculation of Sandoval\u2019s indiscretion.<\/p>\n Jax, meanwhile, agreed with Lala and claimed he would have been \u201csent in to do all the dirty work\u201d of exposing the affair after Lala and Kristen did their digging. (Jax and his wife, Brittany Cartwright<\/strong><\/a>, announced their exit from Pump Rules<\/em> in December 2020<\/a> after eight years.)<\/p>\n \u201cI think for the first time ever, you and I Jax, we would have been like Bonnie and Clyde in this s\u2014t,\u201d Lala said, adding, \u201cAnd Brittany would have been telling us to calm down. And we would\u2019ve been like, \u2018We ride at f\u2014king dawn.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cGive Them Lala\u201d podcast host<\/a> insisted that with Jax and Kristen\u2019s help, the scandal would \u201c100 percent\u201d have come out sooner.<\/p>\n \u201cYou and Kristen, you stir. That\u2019s what was so difficult when you guys weren\u2019t a part of the show anymore,\u201d Lala explained. \u201cA lot of people, I\u2019m not going to name names, but the camera goes up and they worry about what the comments section is going to look like.\u201d<\/p>\n Jax agreed with his former costar, pointing out that the stars of Pump Rules<\/em><\/a> \u201ccan\u2019t pick and choose\u201d what they talk about.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what Sandoval did,\u201d Jax alleged. \u201cIt was frustrating. I called it out for many, many years. [Saying], \u2018They\u2019re not talking about their relationship.\u2019 I [said], \u2018This relationship is not right. Tom is not right.\u2019 I called it out so many times.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Jax, Brittany, 34, and Kristen exited the show in 2020, news broke on Wednesday, June 28, that a Vanderpump Rules<\/em> spinoff is in the works<\/a> at Bravo \u2014 with the trio likely to be featured. Deadline reported that the new series will focus on a group of friends as they put their wild pasts behind them in exchange for parenthood and adult life in California\u2019s San Fernando Valley. The reality show is slated to debut with eight episodes, but further details have yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n Lala, meanwhile, has continued to be vocal about the most recent Pump Rules<\/em> drama<\/a> ahead of season 11. She argued on the Tuesday podcast that Sandoval is \u201ca dangerous person\u201d because of how much he lied about the affair. However, Lala previously confessed to feeling \u201cdirty\u201d about her season 10 reunion comments.<\/p>\n Fans watched Raquel and Sandoval\u2019s affair play out on the Bravo series in spring. Viewers then caught up with the cast during a multi-part reunion that aired in May<\/a>. At the time, Lala slammed both Sandoval and Raquel for hurting Ariana and for lying about the timeline of their relationship, which actually started in August 2022.<\/p>\n Raquel confessed during the reunion that Sandoval coached her to saying they hooked up<\/a> much later than when it really happened. After the bombshell scene, Lala finally saw that Raquel was \u201chuman\u201d and hurting too.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s going to kill me, I just hate lying so much,\u201d Raquel said of the TomTom co-owner on camera last month. \u201cHe is my one person that I do have and if I just went and betrayed him then I\u2019d really have nobody.\u201d<\/p>\n Sign up for Us Weekly’s free, daily newsletter<\/a> and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
