Lala Kent<\/strong><\/a> hit Tom Sandoval<\/strong><\/a> with a serious accusation during an explosive fight on Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the newest episode, which aired on Tuesday, March 5, Lala, 33, attempted to find closure with Sandoval, 41, at the end of their cast trip to Lake Tahoe.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I ask you a question? When you could look me in my eyes and say, \u2018You need to be real. You need to be honest with your life.\u2019 All of those things knowing that you were doing what you guys were doing. How could you look at me and say that?\u201d Lala asked Sandoval about how he hid his affair with Rachel \u201cRaquel\u201d Leviss<\/strong><\/a> from his costars. \u201cI genuinely want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lala took aim at Sandoval\u2019s past claims that she didn\u2019t share enough of her life<\/a> with the cameras<\/p>\n

\u201cYou said it to me often. Then you even went on to do an article the day you guys got caught. It was mind-blowing. It was such a mindf\u2014k,\u201d she said before elaborating in a confessional. \u201cSandoval was in this publication saying that I have douchey energy and I just need to be real. And I just thought, \u2018How poetic that this would come out on this day? And how rich coming from you.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandoval, meanwhile, defended his comments about Lala\u2019s relationship with now-ex-fianc\u00e9 Randall Emmett<\/strong><\/a>. (Lala and Randall, 52, took their romance public in 2018 after his split from wife Ambyr Childers<\/strong>. Rumors previously swirled, however, that Lala and Randall\u2019s relationship began before his divorce was finalized<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cLala, your entire life was a mystery and off-limits for years and years and we respected that,\u201d Sandoval fired back. \u201cIt feels like things are only allowed to be talked about if you are OK with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

While talking to the cameras, Sandoval admitted he didn\u2019t see Lala\u2019s side of the story, adding, \u201cLook, I did lie about the seven-month relationship. Lala lied for a few years of a six-year relationship. We both lied. We are both liars. I think in this instance we both just call this a wash.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandoval remained on the offense about his belief that Lala failed to show enough during her few years on Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a>. In response, Lala walked off before returning to hurl insults at Sandoval.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are insane. I felt bad for you for five f\u2014king seconds and now you are proving to me that you are terrifying,\u201d she told Sandoval. \u201cIt is all you have on me. You will not allow me to evolve. But yet this happened four months ago and I am allowing you to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhile some things never change, the cast of Vanderpump Rules is used to a shake-up \u2026 and a touch-up. Vanderpump Rules was introduced to Bravo viewers during a special episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in January 2013. Season 1 starred Lisa Vanderpump, who was a Beverly Hills Housewife at the time, Stassi [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lala questioned whether she \u201coverestimated\u201d the work Sandoval was doing on himself since his personal life made headlines. (In March 2023, news broke about Sandoval and Ariana Madix<\/strong> calling it quits<\/a> due to his infidelity. Sandoval found himself on the outs with most of his costars \u2014 except Tom Schwartz<\/strong> \u2014 while filming season 11 of Vanderpump Rules<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s heated argument took a surprising turn when Lala revealed why she started to feel bad for Rachel<\/a>, 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what triggered me was when she said [during the final part of the season 10 reunion], \u2018If I don\u2019t fall in line with Sandoval then I have nobody.\u2019 You isolate. You groom. You lie,\u201d Lala told Sandoval. \u201cI do not want to know you. You are scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandoval, whose relationship with Rachel fizzled out<\/a>, was furious about Lala\u2019s accusations, saying, \u201cLala, you don\u2019t know me. Don\u2019t sit there and accuse me of grooming. You do not know me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheana Shay<\/strong> and her husband, Brock Davies<\/strong>, ultimately stepped in and pushed Sandoval to apologize. Sandoval told Lala he could understand why his actions came off as \u201chypocritical\u201d after he hid a seven-month affair from his cast members.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhen viewers were introduced to staff at Lisa Vanderpump\u2018s restaurant during Vanderpump Rules\u2018 2013 premiere, it was clear everyone was intertwined in one another\u2019s love lives. From Stassi Schroeder\u2018s rocky relationship with Jax Taylor, which took a turn when he hooked up with her best friend Kristen Doute, to Peter Madrigal\u2019s casual connections to several [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I understood you properly,\u201d he said before pulling Lala into a hug. \u201cI am sorry. I don\u2019t want to be this way around you. I really appreciate you. It means a lot to me. It changed a lot of what I think about you. It is a lot. I am still processing even these days. I am processing everything. It is a lot for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
