After Scandoval erupted and shook up the Bravoverse, nearly all of the Vanderpump Rules cast supported Ariana Madix. That left Tom Sandoval all alone, with just Tom Schwartz to hug him. Both Sandoval and Rachel Leviss were slammed at the Season 10 reunion. Rachel entered a mental health facility afterward. She also decided to walk away from Pump Rules.
Sandoval appears to have slithered his way back into the group. Scheana Shay doesn’t want to give up on him. Schwartz isn’t capable of it. And even Lala Kent seems to have softened her opinions. After all, she did defend Sandoval at BravoCon.
So, for some, the latest Pump Rules teaser wasn’t a surprise. But for many others, it was truly shocking.
Don’t come for Lala
In a new VPR Season 11 promo, fans saw Katie Maloney and Lala mix it up. “It’s a bit much,” Katie told Lala. “You’re a bit much all the time,” Lala clapped back. I agree with Lala in this case.
Lala and Katie’s friendship has always been a rollercoaster ride. Last season, Katie was icy because of Lala’s friendship with Scheana. Remember when Katie thought that Scheana urged Rachel to hook up with Katie’s ex-husband, Schwartz? Of course, by that time, Sandoval and Rachel were already having an affair. Ick!
Lala tried to be friends with both Scheana and Katie. But it looks like there is tension between Lala and Katie again. It could be because Lala reportedly tried to reach out to Rachel. Why Lala would decide to reach out to Rachel is a mystery.
Meanwhile, Katie isn’t just Ariana’s bestie. They are supposedly business partners in the sandwich shop, Something About Her. If only they could open the damn place. So, Katie would also be angry if Lala contacted Rachel. And let’s not forget that Lala is supposedly jealous of all the good things that have come Ariana’s way.
That is a recipe for plenty of drama, shade, and tears. And someday, I pray, sandwiches.
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules premieres on January 30, 2024, at 8/7c on Bravo.
TELL US – WHY DO YOU THINK KATIE AND LALA ARE FIGHTING? COULD IT HAVE TO DO WITH LALA REACHING OUT TO RACHEL?
