Rumors have been swirling that Lala Kent<\/strong><\/a> and Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s friendship is on the rocks<\/a> following the Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a> season 11 reunion and it sounds like the rumors aren\u2019t too far off from the truth.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the exact [fan] tweet was \u2018Ariana eviscerated Lala at the reunion and it was friendship ruining.\u2019 And only one of those things is true,\u201d Lala, 33, revealed during a Wednesday, March 20, episode of The Talk<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019ll let you all decide.\u201d<\/p>\n This season, Lala and Scheana Shay<\/strong> have received backlash for giving Tom Sandoval<\/strong> another shot at friendship after he cheated on Ariana, 38, with Rachel Leviss<\/strong>. Life & Style<\/em> confirmed the infidelity<\/a>, deemed Scandoval by fans, in March 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cI stand by everything that I said last season, even last season\u2019s reunion. And I stand by everything I said this season,\u201d the \u201cGive Them Lala\u201d podcast host told cohosts Akbar Gbajabiamila<\/strong>, Amanda Kloots<\/strong>, Natalie Morales<\/strong>, Jerry O\u2019Connell<\/strong> and Sheryl Underwood<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m in a different place than I was last year. Scandoval ran very parallel with where I was in my heartbreak \u200bso I was out for blood.\u201d<\/p>\n The heartbreak Lala mentioned was caused by her split from ex-fiance Randall Emmett<\/strong>. The pair called off their three-year engagement<\/a> in October 2021 after they postponed their big day due to the height and restrictions of coronavirus. The reality star and film producer, 52, never made it down the aisle after Randall was caught cheating on Lala shortly after they welcomed their daughter, Ocean<\/a>, in March 2021. The Bravo star is currently pregnant with baby No. 2<\/a> via intrauterine insemination (IUI).<\/p>\n As for Lala\u2019s friendship with Ariana, well, it seems like things went south after season 11 of Vanderpump Rules<\/em> aired. Days before the premiere, Ariana made her Broadway debut<\/a> as Roxie Hart in Chicago<\/em>. The women were on good terms as Lala and Scheana, 38, were in attendance and supported Ariana on her big night.<\/p>\n The trio\u2019s dynamic slowly started crumbling come the following weeks. During episode 6, a group photo circulated the internet of Scheana and Tom, 40, standing next to each other during a mutual friend\u2019s birthday dinner. Fans slammed the \u201cGood as Gold\u201d singer online and accused her of being a disloyal friend to the Dancing With the Stars<\/em> alum. The situation put Schena in a funk during their trip to South Lake Tahoe and Lala took it upon herself to address Ariana, whom she claimed \u201cdidn\u2019t come to [Scheana\u2019s] defense at all.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not gonna post and have my s\u2013t reposted as headlines and stuff,\u201d Ariana told Lala, who responded, \u201cEven for your friend? You couldn\u2019t tell all these people who are your stans \u2026 \u2018I love Scheana, she\u2019s a great friend, knock it off\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI guess I could,\u201d the Broadway star said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
