Lala Kent Unveils Shocking ‘Strange Dynamic’ Between ‘Pump Rules’ Cast and Tom Sandoval - Her Unwavering Journey Towards Forgiveness

Lala Kent teases the intriguing dynamic among the 'Vanderpump Rules' cast in season 11, particularly with Tom Sandoval, amidst the fallout from his cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss

during an Amazon Live. "That's not a place where I've always felt completely at ease."

Speaking about season 11, the reality star also mentioned that she's been discovering a lot about herself. "I've always found it easier to confront someone head-on. Although it doesn't feel pleasant, it just feels more detached," she added. "I'm realizing that I only truly felt completely at ease when forming deep connections with my family."

Later on during the livestream, Lala playfully addressed the ongoing rumors about her and Ariana Madix's feud, which had been a topic of discussion among fans curious about their current relationship status.

"Oh no, I have no idea what you're referring to," she teased, while making amusing faces at the camera. "Just kidding. This season has been the most unconventional and challenging one I've experienced. I keep mentioning it to you all, but it's really strange and difficult. The dynamic has never shifted like this before, obviously."

Lala expressed that her friendship with 38-year-old Ariana is going well. Both Lala and Ariana have been seen filming season 11 with their co-stars Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, and James Kennedy since cameras started rolling again last month. As fans eagerly anticipate new episodes, Lala hinted that there will be some notable firsts on the popular Bravo series.

On the July 26 episode of her podcast "Give Them Lala," she shared, "I have encountered situations where I needed certain things in the past, but they were denied to me because people assumed I could handle it on my own." Expressing gratitude, she mentioned, "Fortunately, there was a surprising turn of events that I am really thankful for. It has created a unique and captivating atmosphere."

Lala further explained, "Eventually, the chaos will settle down, and people will move on. This season of filming has been incredibly unusual. In the past, I would eagerly anticipate the airing of our episodes, but this time, I am more focused on taking care of myself and embracing the healing process."

Viewers are well aware of the stance taken by some costars following Ariana's explicit statement about not wanting to film with Sandoval, 41, and Raquel, 28. This trio grabbed headlines in March when it was revealed that Sandoval's infidelity led to the end of his nearly decade-long relationship with Ariana. At that time, Ariana emphasized that she had no intention of encountering Sandoval or Raquel in the future.

"I have no intention of speaking to either of them," she revealed to The New York Times in May when questioned about the possibility of collaborating with her ex and former friend following their affair. "Our show depicts genuine friendships within a specific group, and they are not part of that group. So, I wish them the best of luck."

While Sandoval continues to appear alongside his fellow cast members, excluding Ariana, amidst the aftermath of the controversy.

Raquel has been absent from filming since her admission to a mental health facility. Last month, James was joyfully reunited with Raquel's dog, Graham Cracker, who has now been affectionately renamed Hippie.
