Last week, Lala Kent confirmed that she's quitting Vanderpump Rules after two seasons. Now, the former SUR hostess is opening up about her decision to exit the Bravo hit reality series and slams her former #PumpRules co-stars for their "hypocrisy" and more.
"It's very weird because I've been doing this for a year and a half, so to know that my time is up, it's bittersweet for me," Lala told E! News. "I think just the negativity finally got to me. I'm not good at separating real life from work, so it started trickling into my everyday relationships with people who have nothing to do with the show and once that started happening that was like not OK anymore."
Lala highlighted the rumor that she was dating a married man (and possibly broke up his marriage) as one of her main problems with being on the show, as it started negatively impacting her real relationship, which she is still choosing not to reveal who her boyfriend is.
"The hardest part for me was when they started making accusations about a relationship that I really wasn't in," she explained. "When that trickles into my real life and I am going to the person I am in love with venting about these crazy people, it really did take a toll on my relationship with my boyfriend."
Viewers will see Lala quit the restaurant in an upcoming episode, with Lala saying she wasn't the only "hot mess" over her decision to leave.
"It's sad. I haven't seen the episode, but I do come back one last time to say my final goodbye," she told E! News. "I was a hot mess, Lisa Vanderpump was a hot mess, it was weird."
When it comes to her former boss Lisa, Lala gushed, "I adore her," but the same cannot be said about her former co-stars, especially Katie Maloney, Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute.
"No, never, ever, ever in my whole life," Lala said when asked if she could ever see herself becoming friends with Katie. "Even if she came to apologize to me, I would be like, ‘You're just so boring to me.' I can't even believe she's on TV!"
"I can't stand Jax. I can't stand Kristen. She looks like a horse, and I love horses. I'm like, why do you gotta mess that up for me girl?"
While Lala quit due to the negativity and rumors about her personal life, she said she's "grateful" to Vanderpump Rules as "it really helped me to find myself. In all of the crap, I found the beauty, as cliché as that sounds. I really was like, I'm OK by myself."
When asked if she will return to face off against her former co-stars at the season five reunion, "I'm going to bag it. I'll defend myself from a yacht!," said Lala.
Lala has revealed that she's working on a new TV show — that's not reality television, two movies and an EP. She also revealed that she booked a voice over gig on American Dad.
