Lala Kent is saying goodbye to season 11 of Vanderpump Rules with a range of feelings. After the 3-element reunion show completed airing, Lala, 33, reflected on her knowledge filming the show.

“Vanderpump Rules season 11 has officially wrapped. It is bittersweet. Filming this season was bittersweet,” she stated on the Wednesday, May 29, episode of her “Give Them Lala” podcast. “Reliving it was — in my opinion — one of the most difficult things or difficult seasons that I’ve ever had. It’s more difficult than filming the season when my dad had passed away.”

While Lala generally makes use of her podcast to go over the show, she took a unique method this season following she saw comments on social media criticizing her function as a mother. (She shares 3-year-old daughter Ocean with ex Randall Emmett.)

“I don’t show Ocean on the show. I’m very protective of motherhood and Ocean and the bond that we have,” Lala explained whilst holding back tears. “She’s a very, very special child and she’s always going to have the most sacred soft space in my heart because of what we went through together when she was seven months old.”

In October 2021, Lala and Randall known as off their engagement. After their breakup, Randall expressed his want to have their kid not be filmed for Bravo.

“Originally, me not being able to have her on the show was not my choice,” Lala explained. “Two parents have to sign off on a child’s appearance on TV and the other side was not about it. And I felt like that was okay because I got to hold this part of my life so close to my heart.”

She continued, “Then I see this season people really coming at me as a mother. Something they really know nothing about. I didn’t feel like that was fair game.”

The on line comments, Lala stated, place her “into a really, really dark space.”

Today, the reality star is expecting her second kid following going by way of intrauterine insemination (IUI) applying donor sperm. With the show on a summer time pause, Lala desires to remind listeners that she’s grateful for all the possibilities Vanderpump Rules has offered her loved ones. She also is thankful for the viewers, who may possibly not usually agree with what comes out of Lala’s mouth.

“I love making this show. I am able to provide a beautiful life not only for myself but for my family and that’s because of you guys,” she stated. “Even though we didn’t see eye to eye this season, that you enjoyed season 11 and know that I’m really grateful for you.”

Past episodes of Vanderpump Rules are at the moment streaming on Peacock.
