Ambyr Childers recalled watching Randall Emmett‘s sex tape with Lala Kent during Friday’s episode of their joint podcast.

Years after learning that her then-husband, and the father of her two children, was having an affair with Lala, 35, of Vanderpump Rules and The Valley, Ambyr, 37, admitted she was thankful to have seen it because it forced her out of her dysfunctional relationship with Randall, 54, and her denial, as she suggested their mutual ex was a serial cheater.

“I’ve seen all of you, the front, the back, inside and outside,” Ambyr began to Lala on the January 9 episode of Untraditionally Lala‘s An Unlikely Affair, via a transcript shared by Vanderpod Recaps on Instagram. “I don’t want to get into the details because the details aren’t important … [But that moment] really shaped me in my life … I knew you guys were together. I knew the affair was happening.”

Although Ambyr, who shares daughters London and Rylee with Randall, wasn’t sure who was calling Randall in the middle of the night, it all came together once she looked at the tape.

“My whole life kind of just stopped. And it wasn’t about what I was seeing in front of me. It was more of like, I had completely realized that I had abandoned myself,” she admitted.

Despite the betrayal, Ambyr said she found herself staying with Randall due to her lack of boundaries.

“When your safety and your well-being and who you are as a person is threatened, you forget those boundaries. You put aside the boundaries because, for me, that dysfunction was going on for so many years that it felt safe,” she explained. “Leaving never felt safe.”

Even though Ambyr had heard plenty about Randall’s infidelity, the sex tape woke her up in a different way.

“I was like, if you don’t leave, you’re going to die. Because I really did. I wanted to die. I felt so trapped in that relationship,” she shared. “I stayed because of my kids. I didn’t want my girls to grow up with a broken home. I didn’t know what that experience was like, and I didn’t want that. And in that moment, I realized, I was like, okay, I got to get out. This is it.”

“I [had] to save myself for my kids and myself,” she continued. “I was half dead. I was taking pills to numb my feelings, to just suppress all that sh*t that I was feeling inside because I didn’t know what to do with it.”

In addition to coming across Randall and Lala’s sex tape, Ambyr also received a call from Lala, which she is now grateful for.

“I think God was doing for me that which I couldn’t do for myself … [Because] I wouldn’t have [ever] left,” she admitted. “It was denial … it’s debilitating.”

During another segment of the show, via Breaking the Rules Pod Clips on Instagram, Lala looked back on the moment she knew she and Randall had been caught.

“When it came up on Vanderpump, Katie Maloney had been at a barbecue, and there was a guy there who was an actor, and his wife had said to Katie, ‘Oh, you’re on that show with that Lala girl. You know she is with [blank],’ and that’s when Katie was like, ‘Oh, I have confirmation,” she shared, confessing to trying to have her IMDb page wiped.

But by that point, Ambyr “had known for a while,” but didn’t speak up since Randall had cheated before.

“Every time, you get a little bit smarter … [And] from my experience and from what I’ve read and learned through my own healing, is that you get really good with following addicts and their patterns. And it became like a calendar. It was like clockwork for me,” she noted.

“It [was] unhealthy. I was in such a spiral cause I was so desperate to save my marriage,” she added.

After Ambyr and Randall’s divorce, he and Lala became engaged and welcomed daughter Ocean, now 4, before splitting in late 2021 due to his apparent cheating.

RHOBH’s Lisa Vanderpump Refuses to Squash the Beef With Kyle, Talks Mauricio Umansky Split and Morgan Wade, and Admits to Avoiding Cast at BravoCon

Lisa Vanderpump had no interest in playing “Squash That Beef” with Kyle Richards at BravoCon.

As she discussed her former friend and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star’s impending divorce from Mauricio Umansky, 55, and rumored romance with Morgan Wade, 30, Lisa denied she joined The Traitors, teased the upcoming 12th season of Vanderpump Rules, and more.

“I’d never squash the beef. I’d swallow it whole,” Lisa declared when asked if she’d make amends with Kyle during a November 13 interview with Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap. “I still have an axe to grind, but I’ve moved on.”

Although Lisa, 65, insisted she was “too busy” to care about her ex-castmates, she was planning to avoid them at BravoCon.

“I think there’s six of them,” she explained of how many of her Bravolebrities she was hoping to steer clear of. “[But] I think [Bravo is] sensitive … They don’t want a problem, so they’re not going to suddenly have me sitting next to Beverly Hills housewives.”

While Lisa confirmed she was still in touch with Garcelle Beauvais, 58, saying that she loved her, she confessed to recently telling Andy Cohen, 57, he’d have to fire everyone for her to consider a return.

“What I said was, ‘All of them,’” she replied after being asked about a text he had sent her.

Getting back to Kyle, Lisa said it wasn’t much of a revelation when Kyle said she could go Brad or Angelina in the season 15 trailer.

“Anybody could go Angelina or Brad,” Lisa noted.

As for why she believes that Kyle and Mauricio have yet to divorce, Lisa suspected it was “complicated,” signaling their kids and finances. She then said they could “find their way back to each other” before suggesting Kyle “should be with Morgan.”

“I think she should just bring it out in the open if that’s what she wants,” Lisa stated. “I don’t understand what the fuss is. Where is all this ambiguity? If you want to be with a woman, be with a woman.”

Then, after reflecting on her 43 years of marriage with Ken Todd, joking that their relationship “lasted longer than [she] anticipated,” Lisa denied she would be a part of the upcoming season of The Traitors.

“I can unequivocally say bullsh*t. I’m not doing Traitors. I can’t say I haven’t been asked but I’m definitely not doing Traitors,” she clarified.

Also during the interview, after noting that she’ll be opening a Wolf restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, in “about six weeks,” Lisa explained how the Pump Rules reboot differs from past seasons.

“That last season, it very much moved on from the restaurant. Now we’re back to grass roots. So we have this nucleus, the restaurant, which always pulls them back together. And that’s what I used to really love about the show — because they have to work together and they have to make it work and sometimes they don’t, but it’s multifaceted … it’s a very interesting show this season. They’re young, they’re naughty — naughtier,” she teased. “It’s very different because they’re just such different characters.”

That said, there are some similarities.

“I suppose going back to the early days of Vanderpump Rules, just seeing them struggling together, that’s an essential part of it,” Lisa shared. “It feels a little vintage Vanderpump but with a whole new set of problems.”

Vanderpump Rules season 12 premieres on Tuesday, December 2, at 9/8c.

Katie Maloney Claps Back at Scheana Shay for Calling Her “Low” and “Forgettable,” Shades Her Past Demotion and Slams Her Criticism of Ariana Madix

[ad_1]

Katie Maloney is speaking out against Scheana Shay after her former Vanderpump Rules co-star suggested she was “low” for going on Brock Davies‘ wedding trip to Mexico uninvited in an effort to get paid in her newly released book, My Good Side.

As she also called out Scheana, who additionally suggested she was “forgettable,” for shading Ariana Madix, 40, for not reaching out to her after learning Brock had cheated, Katie, 38, denied that she went to Mexico to ensure her episodic paycheck, reminded Scheana, 40, of her past demotion, and demanded she “leave [her name] out of [her] goddamn mouth.”

“I didn’t want to talk about this because at the end of the day, talking about something and saying you don’t care about it is a bit of like an oxymoron. So I don’t want to confuse the fact that I don’t really care, but I also just feel like, you know what? It’s time. It’s f*cking time,” Katie began on the September 10 episode of Disrespectfully.

In addition to noting that she’d been told that Scheana referred to her “as a drunk” throughout her book, Katie said she was put off to learn that Scheana, who now appears on The Valley, had accused her of reaching a new low for a cast member by traveling to Mexico.

“It wasn’t because I [wanted] to get paid or I’d miss out. They were gonna have to film me regardless of whether I was in Mexico. I was paid per episode, so I was getting that episode no matter what,” she clarified.

According to Katie, Scheana had been panicking “for months … because Bravo told her that they were not going to film her wedding.”

“They did not want to film her wedding, but everyone was going. And I know production was freaking out because like, half the cast was gonna be there, and what were they going to do? Were they gonna have to ask some people to stay back?” she recalled.

Because she and Scheana were having drama at the time, producers ultimately decided it would be good for the show to film with Katie in Mexico and sold Bravo on the idea of “two trips.”

Although Katie didn’t want to go and “be around a bunch of people [she] can’t stand,” she was told by a producer that she had to go during the car ride home from Lake Havasu.

“[Lala Kent] was in the car with me when she told me this, if she wants to corroborate,” she noted.

While Katie could have told Scheana this long ago, she didn’t want to betray her producers.

“I am good at my job. I don’t speak about this sh*t. I don’t spoil behind-the-scenes stuff. I don’t make producers’ lives hard. That’s why I’ve never been demoted, unlike Scheana,” she declared.

Moving on to Scheana’s recent appearance on Gia Giudice‘s podcast, Katie slammed her as “b*tchy.”

“I’m forgettable? Go on, girl. I don’t care,” she said. “She was talking about how she wasn’t gonna send me her book. I don’t want your book. You asked me for my address last year to send me some bullsh*t in the mail. I don’t want you to know where I live. I’ve actively put you out of my life on purpose. So please stop talking about me.”

Katie then shaded Scheana for revealing that Ariana never reached out to her after she confirmed Brock’s affair in her book and suggesting she wasn’t there for her when she needed her.

“[Scheana] wanted Ariana to read her mind and just ask her if she was okay. She’s blaming Ariana for not telling her, but then giving her the f*cking third degree,” Katie noted.

Scheana Shay Snubs Lala Kent’s Birthday as Fans Suspect a Feud Amid The Valley Filming, Plus Tom Schwartz Mocks Dating Rumors With Lala

[ad_1]

Did Scheana Shay snub Lala Kent on her birthday because Lala failed to promote her new book, My Good Side, in a way she approved of?

As Tom Schwartz, 42, honored Lala on her 35th birthday, September 2, with a post on his Instagram Story, the 40-year-old Vanderpump Rules cast member was radio silent about Lala, whom she called out on her podcast days prior for sharing just one post about the memoir in which she was tagged.

“Scheana didn’t post for Lala’s birthday,” The Bravo Investigator revealed on September 3. “Do you think it’s retaliation for Lala not posting more than a picture of Scheana’s book with just [Scheana]?”

After the post was shared, some suspected that there was no real drama between the ladies, but rather an effort to create buzz and potentially land themselves in full-time roles on the upcoming third season of The Valley.

“Beef for The Valley hahahaha they [are] desperate,” one person wrote.

“I think it has more to do with the Valley picking up filming soon and who got a spot and who didn’t, or trying to create drama so they get screen time … We know these two live to self-produce,” another alleged.

A third fan said Scheana and Lala were “not good” as they suspected Lala would align with Janet Caperna, 35, for The Valley season three.

In other Lala Kent news, Tom did honor her on her special day with a post poking fun at the ongoing romance rumors regarding the two of them.

“HAPPY BDAY … to my imaginary internet [girlfriend,” Tom wrote, as seen in a screenshot shared by Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

Months ago, after fans suspected there was chemistry between them, Lala addressed the matter on her podcast, Give Them Lala, with Tom as her guest.

“People always said that… We talked about it. I feel like I would be way too high-strung and intense for you,” she told her castmate.

“Remember, these were your words: You would chew me up,” he replied. “No, I think you said, ‘I eat pieces of sh*t like you for breakfast.’”

Days later, on Tom’s podcast, Detox Retox, he and Lala spoke more about the rumors.

“If it’s on the internet, it’s true, right?” he laughed. “I woke up today, the first thing I saw from my good dear friend, Jesus, who you’ve met, [is] a text, he’s like … what’s up with you and Lala? And then he sent me a screenshot of this [rumor]. And then I got another text from somebody else, another article, rumors abound today that we’re dating.”

“I won’t even lie, Schwartz,” Lala admitted. “Since the podcast that you did, my podcast, I’ve had some dreams. And I wake up [like], what the f*ck?”

The Valley season three is currently in production.

Scheana Shay Reacts to Lala Kent Not Posting PR About Her Book After Sending Her a PR Box, Hints at Where They Stand Today Plus Their Recent Convo

Scheana Shay hinted at where she stands with Lala Kent after she allegedly failed to post Scheana’s new memoir, My Good Side. The Vanderpump Rules star also revealed their conversation after the book’s release.

In the book, Scheana said she hid her husband Brock Davies’ past affair from friends and family. But right before the book’s release, Scheana gave Lala a heads up. The co-stars have remained close since their firing from the show, though it seems there may be a crack in the friendship.

Reports have also surfaced that Lala and Scheana are taking on greater roles in the new season of The Valley after Jax Taylor’s exit.

On her Scheananigans podcast, Scheana hinted at her status with Lala after the new memoir.

“I don’t know that I lost any friendships, but it definitely put some relationships into better perspective, I will say that,” shared Scheana, via @breakingtherulespodclips on Instagram.

A fan then asked, “Are you and Lala still friends? Why didn’t she post anything about your book?”

Scheana answered, “So I think it was like maybe a week after it came out, I saw she posted a slide and just said, ‘@scheana.’ There was nothing else that she posted. I had reached out to her a couple days after all of the [PR] boxes were delivered because … you do expect your closest friends to post and support, and I sent everyone a really nice PR box. I’m sure you guys saw some others who posted it.”

“And I reached out and I was like, ‘Hey, did your box come? Because you know, I hadn’t seen it posted yet and I just wanted to make sure I didn’t need to reach out to the publisher to be like, hey, Lala didn’t get her box,’” she continued. “And [Lala] said that her brother and her mom deal with the packages and that she would have them check. But then a week went by and the box didn’t get posted. So I’m assuming she got it because she posted the book @scheana.”

But Scheana claimed she and Lala, as well as their daughters, are “still friends.”

Tom Sandoval Discusses Falling Out With Billie Lee, Slams Her for Telling People They Were Having a Kid, and Creating a False Narrative About Victoria, Plus Accuses Her of Using the “Trans Card” and Ridiculous Lies

[ad_1]

Tom Sandoval opened up about his falling out with Billie Lee during Wednesday’s episode of his podcast.

Months after Billie blasted the 43-year-old Vanderpump Rules star and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, 32, in a series of podcast episodes and live Instagram appearances, accusing them of drug use and claiming Victoria disrespected Ariana Madix‘s belongings in her and Sandoval’s shared home, the couple is fighting back.

“We were close and good friends and it’s very sad,” Sandoval said of the end of his friendship with Billie on the October 23 episode of Everybody Loves Tom. “You feel like you trust somebody and you feel like you have a friend who’s open and honest and real with you and you find out this whole other side and it makes you sort of pull into your shell.”

Reflecting on Billie’s tangent against him and Victoria, Sandoval said her claims were “so frustrating” because they painted Victoria in a negative light.

“It’s so f*cked up for her to create this character,” he stated.

“I haven’t even been able to speak and she’s already created a narrative of who I am,” Victoria agreed. “It’s like, ‘Nobody knows you but I’m going to paint the narrative of who you are.’ And that’s the first thing that everyone hears … [But] I’m not gonna let some person that’s hurting on the inside, or whatever’s going on with her, paint the narrative of my life and who I am because that’s not who I am.”

Although Billie suggested that Victoria was a drug user, Victoria said she’s simply a woman who drinks socially, having drinks at events and, of course, Sandoval’s bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s.

Even Sandoval said that he’s been doing much less socially than he has in the past.

“In like 20-plus years, this is the least that I’ve drank, gone out,” he shared. “I’m much more responsible and I think it took taking that eight months off of drinking. I needed a reset. I never planned on never drinking again. I was just taking a break.”

Looking back on the moments that followed the reveal of his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30, Sandoval recalled Billie initially being Team Ariana before contacting him and helping him around their home.

He then said that she lied about having to give up friends and having lost friends due to their closeness.

“She didn’t lose any friends. People in general were always a little scared of Billie because she would use the trans card,” he explained, giving a nod to her past claims about Jax Taylor, 45, and Bravo.

As Sandoval grew closer to Billie on the heels of “Scandoval,” she propositioned him about being a sperm donor for her potential child. And, at the time, he told her he “would consider” the idea.

In the months that followed, Sandoval began dating Victoria and learned that Billie had been telling people that they were having a child together.

“It freaked me the f*ck out because I know how reactive Billie can get. This is somebody who has been close to me during this time, who can sell stories and get blah, blah, blah. [So] I’m scared of what she might f*cking say,” Sandoval admitted.

After then telling Billie that she wasn’t ready for a child due to her financial position, Sandoval and Victoria began to notice that Billie was creating drama between the two of them.

“It became very invasive and where the falling out came from, I’m hearing all these things being said about me to my friends,” Sandoval explained. “She reached out to my friends and said, ‘You haven’t seen Tom lately because he’s drinking every day.’ It’s like, f*cking ridiculous. I don’t do drugs recreationally. I don’t do that shit. Music festivals, yeah, mushroom trip every once in a while but I don’t do that sh*t and I sure as f*ck ain’t dating somebody who’s doing that either because we wouldn’t vibe then,”

“We found out there were a lot of lies, and we found out they were all coming from her,” he added.

Vanderpump Rules is on pause ahead of season 12.

Stassi Schroeder Says Offer to Return to Vanderpump Rules Was Rescinded, Plus Shares Where She Stands With Lala, Katie & Scheana

[ad_1]

Stassi Schroeder shared details about a meeting she had with a Vanderpump Rules producer in regard to a potential post-firing return while appearing on a podcast on Tuesday.

Before “Scandoval” broke amid season 10, exposing Tom Sandoval‘s months-long affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 30, Stassi, 36, considered returning to the series. And during the podcast episode, she explained why she opted against doing so. She also offered an update on her relationships with Lala Kent, 34, Katie Maloney, 37, and Scheana Shay, 39.

“It was right after I’d announced my second book, Off With My Head … I was asked by a producer to come back, and I had to really think about it,” Stassi revealed on the October 1 episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “We kind of argued about it.”

Ultimately, however, Stassi decided that because she’d seen success outside of Bravo, it wasn’t in her best interest to return.

“I walked into this meeting being like, ‘You know what? No.’ Because I’d seen the reaction I got from my second book. And I had seen that, like, you know what? My career, I think I can keep going and do it on my terms,” she explained.

But when she arrived at the meeting, she learned that her potential return to Pump Rules may not have been a possibility at all.

“[The producer] was like, ‘Oh, by the way, I take it back. I didn’t get approval yet.’ It was a really messed up situation … It was like a mindf*ck,” she recalled, saying that if she had decided to return, it “would’ve killed [her]” to be shot down.

Although Stassi did not want to return to Pump Rules at that time, that’s not to say she didn’t consider returning to reality television in another way.

“It’s something that’s been part of my life since I was, like, 16. It’s always been something that I did, so of course it was always something that was on my mind. But I wasn’t going to do it unless it felt fully right,” she explained.

Four years after her firing from Pump Rules, which was prompted by racially insensitive behavior toward Faith Stowers, Stassi has married Beau Clark, 44, welcomed two kids, Hartford, 3, and Messer, 1, and announced her official return to the small screen.

As fans may have heard, Stassi will soon make her debut in a new Hulu docu-series, Stassi Says, and she will also be featured on the second season of Lisa Vanderpump‘s Vanderpump Villa.

“I’ve had to work on things. I didn’t just get offered things. I had to work on them myself,” she noted.

As for where she stands with her former castmates, Stassi confirmed she’s “still close” with Lala and Katie.

As for Scheana?

“I run into Scheana. Scheana and I have never been besties, but I run into her,” she revealed. “There’s always a kid’s birthday party. So much time has passed. I’ve been out of their filming world for so long and you have to try — when they’re not in their filming world, everyone’s a lot more relaxed and normal. So I don’t have that constant fighting or whatever. I’m just bringing my kid to a kid’s birthday, and we’re just talking about normal sh*t.”

Lala Kent Discusses Terrifying Moment Newborn Baby “Turned Purple” After Birth, and Shares How Sosa is Doing Now

[ad_1]

Lala Kent revealed the terrifying moment when her newborn Sosa “turned purple” amid the delivery as nurses “freaked out” and called for backup.

The Vanderpump Rules star gave birth on September 3. Lala shared that she used a sperm donor. She also has a three-year-old daughter Ocean, whose father is Lala’s ex Randall Emmett.

On her Give Them Lala podcast, the star opened up about the fast labor and delivery.

“During my second-to-last push, [my obstetrician] kind of stands up really fast, and he’s fixated on the monitor,” said Lala, via Page Six. “And he’s making eyes with the nurse who’s reading things to him that I clearly don’t understand cause I’m not a doctor. And he looks nervous.”

Lala then asked if things were okay, and her doctor responded, “Yep, I just want you to keep pushing.”

She later found out “the [umbilical] cord was wrapped around [Sosa’s] neck a couple of times,” though the doctor “didn’t let [her] know that” and “stayed calm.”

“She comes out, they put her on my chest and I go to hug her — you know, embrace my baby — but the way that the nurse is acting with the baby … and she’s not crying. She does one cry and then it stops,” said Lala. “And my hands are freezing, so I’m like, ‘I’m not touching her because I don’t want to send her into shock.’”

She recalled that the nurses started “rubbing her chest” and also “sucking things out of her mouth.”

“For mama, it was great that she came out so quickly cause I didn’t have to push very many times, but with a fast birth like that, she swallowed a lot of amnionic fluid,” said Lala.

“[She] had so much fluid that she was vomiting all the food she had,” she explained, noting how the nurse “freaked out” and called for backup after noticing that the baby “turned purple.”

“They then bring in a specialist, and they’re like, ‘We want a surgeon to look at her cause this isn’t normal, and we got 10 milliliters of amnionic fluid out of her stomach the first time, then we got another eight, then we got another however many milliliters,” she said. “And they go, ‘And now we’re draining it through the nose, and it won’t stop.’ And they said, ‘We’re either going to have pediatric surgery deal with it, or we want to keep her in the NICU.’”

At the time, Lala was “beside [her]self,” asking, “What the f–k?”

Though the pregnancy itself was “perfect,” Lala “started feeling guilty” as she wondered what she did during her first pregnancy that she didn’t do with Sosa’s.

“I started crying, and they were like, ‘You did nothing wrong during pregnancy; we’re just a little confused,’” said Lala, who explained that her daughter is now “fine.”

Rachel Leviss Calls Out Ariana Madix for Dehumanizing Her at ’Pump Rules’ Reunion & ‘Propelling More Death Threats’ Amid Scandoval, Says She’s Had 2 Run-ins With Scheana, and Shares What Tom Sandoval Does That’s “Gross”

[ad_1]

Rachel “Raquel” Leviss called out Ariana Madix for her behavior at the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion on the latest episode of her podcast.

After sharing that she was happy to see that the scandal surrounding her and Tom Sandoval‘s affair had launched Ariana’s career, Raquel, 30, shaded Ariana’s character, revealed if she’s hoping to reconcile with Scheana Shay, 39, and shared something “gross” about Tom, 42.

“I think the part that irks me the most is the way that [Ariana] went out of her way to dehumanize me at the reunion,” Raquel shared of “Scandoval” on the September 17 episode of Rachel Goes Rogue. “It really propelled more hate my way and death threats and things that were not necessary, because I already had a lot of shame surrounding it and a lot of people shaming me already.”

“It’s very telling to her character,” she added.

Still, despite her criticism, Rachel praised Ariana for her success since the scandal.

“Honestly, I’m really happy Ariana is living out her dreams. She always wanted to be on Broadway,” said Rachel. “She’s always been obsessed with Love Island. So, the fact that she’s a host of Love Island is pretty epic. I’m just happy that Scandoval was able to really launch her in the direction that she’s always dreamed of.”

When a fan questioned whether she’d say, “Hi,” to Scheana if she ran into her, Raquel confirmed she’d already run into her “twice” before noting that she would not want to interact.

“I don’t have a desire to speak to her, and clearly, she doesn’t have a desire to speak to me. So that’s not going to happen,” she shared. “I just don’t think that there’s any type of conversation that I can even comprehend. There’s no point in having a productive conversation with somebody that you don’t want to have a friendship with anymore.”

“[I have] no desire to reconcile with Scheana,” she further clarified.

As for what’s “gross” about Sandoval, Raquel recalled her former flame sweating off his self-tanner.

“This may not come as a shock to all of you guys, but Tom Sandoval does love his Loving Tan self-tanner, and he will wear it and sweat it off, and he doesn’t care what it looks like when he sweats it off,” she revealed. “[It’s] just kind of gross and funny.”

Vanderpump Rules season 12 is expected to go into production sometime this fall.

Lala Kent is now a mom of two!

Just moments ago, the Vanderpump Rules. star confirmed she has welcomed her second child.

“Welcome into the world, my love,” Lala wrote in an Instagram Story on September 4 before confirming that her daughter was born a day earlier, on September 3.

The 33-yr-old Bravo star had previously announced her pregnancy back in March, as she wrote on Instagram, “I’m expanding my pod,” along with an adorable photo of herself and 3-yr-old daughter Ocean who she shares with ex-fiance Randall Emmett.

Lala later revealed that her baby was due on September 1 which is the day before her own birthday.

The podcast host, who has been open about her decision to use a sperm donor for her second baby, recently discussed a health scare she suffered on a recent Give Them Lala podcast episode as she got quite emotional.

“My arms and legs went numb, and I could not breathe, and [it] took everything in me to not pass out and just make it to my bed,” said Lala on her podcast. “I was trying to yell for my mom, but again, I was really struggling, and I was very, very concerned.”

Even worse, the health scare took place at her home while she was hosting a baby shower. “I don’t don’t know what happened. I’ve heard that she could be sitting weird, but I felt this overwhelming amount of guilt because I’ve been complaining a lot about my [body] aching and just wanting it to be done,” she shared holding back tears.

Luckily, her mother was at the baby shower, and she was able to call the doctor who told her to start staying off her feet and to start taking it easy.

For the time being, Lala has yet to reveal the name of her baby.

Raquel Leviss suggested Bravo is preparing for upcoming Vanderpump Rules spinoffs and claimed they have the “budget” for it. She also shared her theory behind Lala Kent’s recent announcement about her friendship break with Katie Maloney as well as a rumor she heard about a full reboot.

After a bizarre season in which half the cast barely interacted with the other, Pump Rules reportedly went on hiatus — with some sources claiming it may not return. One rumor suggested that the entire cast will eventually be replaced by actual servers from Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants. The show’s recent spinoff, The Valley, had a successful first season and is now filming its second.

On her Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, Raquel addressed Lala’s recent declaration about her friendship with Katie.

“There’s no reason for Lala to be friends with Katie at this point if they’re not filming a show together,” said Raquel. “I don’t know why she needs to announce it. That’s, like, in classic Lala fashion.”

According to Raquel, she believes the reason Lala was okay with announcing the end of her friendship with Katie is because Lala has been offered a permanent spinoff opportunity, likely on The Valley.

“I think she’s framing for announcements yet to come,” Raquel explained. “And you know that NBC and Bravo have the budget for that. They’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s do all the spinoffs.’”

Raquel also suspects that while Lala and Scheana Shay will move on to The Valley, Bravo will likely offer Ariana Madix and Katie their own spinoff based on their sandwich shop Something About Her.

As Reality Blurb recently reported, Lala and Scheana have both been spotted filming for the upcoming season of The Valley.

Raquel also theorized that if Bravo launches a spinoff for Something About Her, Vanderpump Rules won’t return with the same cast, adding that she heard “through the grapevine” that the network was planning a full cast reboot for the series.

“If that’s the case, Vanderpump Rules is definitely not coming back unless they’re recasting with a whole new cast, which is, you know, what I heard through the grapevine,” said Raquel.

On a past episode of her Scheananigans with Scheana Shay podcast, Scheana addressed Jax Taylor’s claim that she and Lala should not join The Valley.

“For the second time on his podcast, he has said that he does not want me or Lala to join The Valley because it would be disrespectful to the current cast, and, like, no one wants us,” she said at the time. “And I’m, like, actually, Jax, I just think you don’t want us. If we did a poll, these are all of our friends. You’re afraid of me and Lala being on the show because we’re gonna call you out for the s**t we actually know.”

She went on to say, “When the whole concept of The Valley was coming to fruition, Jax and Brittany were the ones that were, like, we want you and Brock in it.”

The Valley is currently filming. Both Lala and Scheana have been spotted filming for it in some capacity.

Ariana Madix Praises Katie Maloney for Telling Tracy Tutor to “Shut Up” After MDL Star Applauded Lala and Suggested Ariana “Move on” From Vanderpump Rules to Better Things

Ariana Madix praised Katie Maloney for telling Tracy Tutor to “shut up” on Instagram after the Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles cast member suggested it was time for Ariana to move on from Vanderpump Rules.

After Tracy, 49, also praised Lala Kent, 33, stating that she “brought it” to season 11 while Ariana, 39, was seemingly unwilling, Katie, 37, shaded her fellow Bravolebrity as Ariana offered a response.

“You have a responsibility when you sign up for a show like this to show up and be accountable, vulnerable, and aware. And if there are certain people that aren’t willing to do that, then perhaps it’s time for them to make a decision to walk away from the show, or for the network to say, ‘You know what? If you can’t give anymore and you have all these boundaries that are now in place, then maybe it’s time for you to move on from the show,’” Tracy shared on the August 13 episode of the LadyGang podcast, via The Bravo Investigator on Instagram.

Although Tracy claimed she was “not speaking to anyone directly,” she acknowledged that her comments related to Ariana’s status on Pump Rules.

“I very much understand and relate to what Ariana has been through. I’ve been there myself. I totally get it. But maybe it’s no longer the best avenue for you and maybe it’s your time to say, like, ‘I’m signing off,’” she continued.

Moving on to Lala, Tracy felt that she delivered on her responsibilities as a reality star.

“She’s got a baby to raise. She’s going to have another one … She’s a single mom. And with all due respect, she brought it this season,” Tracy noted.

While Tracy didn’t seem to think that Ariana had brought enough to season 11, she admitted that it must have been tough for her to return to production so soon after learning that her then-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, 42, was having an affair with her former friend, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29.

“Ariana literally was cameras down for like 10 minutes to process what the f*ck she just went through on live, national television watched by millions and millions of people. And they were like … ‘We’re going to start shooting in three weeks,’” Tracy recalled. “Mind you, for all of us by the time it aired, it had been months. So, we’re like, ‘Get over it.’ She did live that. She had to put cameras up a month after the [show’s] finale. That must have been incredibly hard for her.”

“Perhaps, at this point, maybe she is ready to move on. She’s incredibly talented. She’s a gifted actress. That’s her wheelhouse. She can do other things,” Tracy suggested.

But Katie didn’t agree.

After Taste of Reality shared a headline about Tracy’s comments on Instagram, she weighed in.

“Shut up,” Katie stated.

And after seeing that her co-star and co-owner of Something About Her had clapped back at Tracy, Ariana praised Katie’s post with a post of her own.

“Queen,” she deemed Katie.

Vanderpump Rules season 12 is currently on pause ahead of its 12th season.

Ann Maddox Says Hours at Ariana & Katie’s Restaurant Has Been Cut Back as She Asks for Support to Pay Rent, See Her Post and How Vanderpump Rules Fans Are Reacting

Ann Maddox has gotten her hours cut back at Something About Her.

After going to work for Ariana Madix, 39, and Katie Maloney, 37, at their sandwich shop after leaving her job as Tom Sandoval‘s assistant, Ann, who was featured on Vanderpump Rules season 11, shared a message on her Instagram Story about her hours as she requested help from her followers.

As they shared a screenshot of Ann’s message, The Bravo Objective noted that they found the cut odd considering Ann was a draw for fans.

“Well my hours got cut at the shop so I have no choice but to have this succeed … Please vote for my podcast so that we can get host read ads and pay my rent thank you!” Ann’s message said, along with a link to a survey where fans could vote for her podcast, We Signed an NDA.

Following the sharing of the post, several commenters admitted they didn’t feel that bad for Ann.

“She seems like an unhinged super fan. I said what I said,” one person stated.

“She needs that podcast now because who will hire her as a PA when she has proven she cannot be loyal?” asked another.

“Oh, I wonder if she’ll go work for the other partner who is suing Katie and Ariana now for her revenge like she did Tom. That seems to be [her] thing,” mentioned a third person, who signaled Penny Davidi‘s lawsuit against the Pump Rules cast member.

“I don’t even feel sorry for her, she was giving thirsty from the beginning,” added someone else.

But others pointed out that her hours being cut was a “shame” since Ann “added a lot to the atmosphere” and was “very upbeat and taking photos with anyone that asked.”

It was even mentioned that many other California restaurants had cut employees’ hours due to the state’s new wage law.

“Well when they have to pay their employees at a restaurant 20 an hour bc that the state’s new restaurant wage, yeah every restaurant has cut hours,” someone shared.

Ann’s cut comes just days after a job listing for Something About Her was shared on Reddit and met with criticism from users of the platform, who felt that Ariana and Katie weren’t paying enough to their staff.

The listing was for a part-time employee, Monday through Friday.

Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent Opens Up About “Terrifying” Health Scare Amid Pregnancy for Baby No.2 as She Holds Back Tears

Lala Kent was one of the most polarizing cast members on season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. However, everyone is rooting for her and wants her to deliver a healthy baby. Sadly, the reality star recently opened up about a health scare she experienced while pregnant with her second child.

Lala has revealed that her baby is due on September 1 of this year, which is the day before her own birthday. She first announced the good news on social media in March of this year.

The Bravo star, who has been open about her decision to use a sperm donor for her second baby, discussed the health scare on a recent Give Them Lala podcast episode as she got quite emotional.

“My arms and legs went numb, and I could not breathe, and [it] took everything in me to not pass out and just make it to my bed,” said Lala on her podcast, via US Weekly. “I was trying to yell for my mom, but again, I was really struggling, and I was very, very concerned.”

Lala, 33, says the health scare happened at her home while she was hosting a baby shower. She says she was taking “this little kid up the stairs to show him the playroom” when she felt unwell.

She goes on while holding back tears, “I don’t don’t know what happened. I’ve heard that she could be sitting weird, but I felt this overwhelming amount of guilt because I’ve been complaining a lot about my [body] aching and just wanting it to be done.”

Luckily, her mother was at the baby shower, and she was able to call the doctor.

Lala says, “I positioned myself in a different way, and all of a sudden, I could breathe. [The baby] was definitely active. I said [to the doctor], ”She hasn’t hasn’t stopped moving. And he was like, ”Oh, OK, I’m less concerned now.”

She continues, “He was like, ‘I really need you to start staying off your feet. Don’t overdo it during the day.’ Which I have been. I think I’ve been overdoing it since [the] second trimester.”

As of right now, Lala says that she feels “ok,” but “not great on my feet right now.” She also shared that she hadn’t been acting like a pregnant woman with all the standing she had been doing.

However, she is now following the doctor’s orders.

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Face Criticism Over ‘Something About Her’ Job Listing as Vanderpump Rules Fans Question the Employee Pay

[ad_1]

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are under fire for the pay they are offering for a position at their sandwich shop, Something About Her.

After a job listing for a prep team member at the restaurant was shared on Reddit, revealing that the position started at just $21 per hour, fans slammed the Vanderpump Rules stars for the “abysmal” offer as they compared the ladies to Lisa Vanderpump, 63, who was previously accused of stiffing her restaurant employees.

In the Reddit posting, it was noted that the prep team position would receive paid training and an employee discount and that the employee would be expected to work part-time, between 15 to 30 hours per week, Monday through Friday.

looks like something about her is hiring!
byu/Global_Picture432 invanderpumprules

Following the sharing of the post, one person pointed out that they lived in Dayton, Ohio, and said that a sandwich shop nearby was offering $24 per hour for a back-of-the-house position.

“The cost of living here is so much lower than [Los Angeles], it’s hard to fathom someone in LA making so little,” they noted.

Another person said the pay seemed low, unless they “also get tips.”

“And part-time hours so they do not have to offer benefits,” noted someone else.

Others pointed out that $21 per hour “is not enough for how busy [it is there]” and wondered how anyone could “survive” in Los Angeles on such a pay.

“I think employers should pay their workers a living wage/ fair wage,” one person stated.

“They do this to the little people? Naw, it’s unethical,” another agreed.

Some even suggested that they did not want to support the Pump Rules stars due to how they were treating “the little people.”

“Ariana and Katie are treating their workers as a commodity to be drained of value in order for them to get richer,” someone noted.

Several more Reddit users suggested they’d learned from “the master of not paying people (LVP).”

“LVP has been caught committing wage theft frequently over the years in order to build wealth for herself (and the execs at Bravo) who all profit enormously from these workplace-centered shows,” someone alleged.

“If you can’t afford to pay your employees a living wage (and this is not a living wage in LA) then you can’t afford to be in business,” another concluded.

Vanderpump Rules is currently on pause ahead of its 12th season.

Andy Cohen Discusses If There Will Be a RHONJ Reboot & “Distrust” With the Cast Amid Leaks, Plus Seeing Both Sides of Ariana Madix vs Lala Kent Drama

[ad_1]

Andy Cohen is speaking out about the potential recasting of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

While also addressing the drama between Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix, 38, and Lala Kent, 33, the Watch What Happens Live host, 56, hinted at “extensive casting,” reacted to the many RHONJ leaks, and admitted to seeing both sides of the Pump Rules feud.

“There was a lot of play with [the idea of a reboot] and I think the answer is — I was talking to a cast member about this today — we are gonna cross next season as that comes,” Andy revealed on the June 3 episode of SiriusXM Radio’s Reality Checked with Kiki Monique. “Right now, we’re just kind of focusing on, ‘Okay, well if we’re not doing a conventional reunion, what are we doing and what is something different that we could do?’”

Andy then signaled to the “extensive casting” of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which saw the exits of Kandi Burruss, 48, Sheree Whitfield, 54, Sanya Richards-Ross, 39, and Marlo Hampton, 48, after season 15, saying that he’s “so happy with what’s going on” with RHOA right now.

“Some things take time,” he explained. “We want to take a minute to figure things out. You know, there’s no point in rushing into something just to rush into something.”

As for the RHONJ leaks and drama surrounding certain fan accounts that have allegedly worked with certain cast members — allegedly Teresa Giudice, 52, and Jennifer Aydin, 47 — Andy said he “hates leaks”

“That’s what was so fun about that Reality Von Tease thing. It was like no one knew about it and it was just so fun as a viewer, so I hope that we can get into a vibe of not leaking,” he stated. “I just think that there’s a supreme level of kind of distrust amongst the cast with each other and that’s never healthy in terms of trying to make a great television show.”

“I think that the cast on Jersey is so fed up with each other. There are teams of people against each other,” he continued, giving a nod to Teresa’s feud with Melissa Gorga, 45.

“So that’s our thing to solve for next season of Jersey and we can do it and we will figure it out,” he stated.

As for the backlash Lala received after questioning Ariana’s handling of her drama with Tom Sandoval, 41, particularly her refusal to film with him during the finale, Andy admitted he could see where she was coming from in wanting more from Ariana.

“When they broke the fourth wall, as a reality producer, I really respect what she was saying about ‘We are all on this show and this is doing our jobs,’” Andy told Us Weekly on May 30. “I think it’s one of those great arguments where I could see both sides.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Scheana Shay Shares What Ariana Madix Told Her After Reunion, & Addresses Drama With Lala, Plus She Suggests Producer Swayed Her Actions and Questions if LVP Guilt Tripped Her Into Friendship With Tom

[ad_1]

Scheana Shay addressed feeling “differently” about Ariana Madix walking away from the Vanderpump Rules season finale and her reunion drama with Lala Kent. She also discussed her past convo with Lisa Vanderpump about Tom Sandoval’s mental health, and she suggests a producer swayed her actions after telling her the season wasn’t going well midway through filming.

During the finale, Ariana refused to speak to her ex Tom despite producers and castmates wanting to make a good episode. The move angered Lala, who ranted about Ariana’s decisions throughout the season. Scheana backed her up in the moment, though at the reunion Lala insinuated that Scheana wasn’t sharing her full thoughts.

Earlier in the season, Lisa approached Lala and Scheana about checking in on Tom, who had told her he was having suicidal thoughts. Due to Lisa’s attempt to help them understand, Lala and Scheana felt bad that their former friend was facing this alone.

On her Scheananigans podcast, Scheana shared that she feels “differently” about Ariana choosing to walk away at the finale.

While she understands why Lala “lost her s**t,” Scheana shared that Ariana’s decision was “real” for her, and she “respect[s]” that Ariana stood her ground.

“I feel like with Ariana walking away, after we filmed the reunion and all of that, I do feel a little differently. And this is where I get in trouble in this friend group because I live in the gray, and I always see both sides, completely understanding Lala being like, you know what, you still live in the house with him, you still are on a show with him, then you should film the season finale with him,” said Scheana. “Then I also understand Ariana being like, but this isn’t real, and we’re supposed to film our real lives.”

But the “frustrating thing” was feeling like the cast had to “walk on eggshells” all season.

According to Scheana, producer Alex Baskin said by mid-season the show was not in a good place, and certain things needed to happen or the season would be cut short and the show would be “canceled.”

“I know Alex Baskin has said that midseason, the show was not in a good place. It was you know, X,Y, and Z needs to happen, or we’re going to have a short season, and the show’s going to be canceled, and that’s it,” recalled Scheana. “I think Lala and I felt a lot of pressure after that day.”

Scheana felt pressure to make the show continue, not only for her family but also the crew of 80 to 100 people. She indicated that Ariana walked away in the finale as if she doesn’t “care if the show ends.”

Addressing her reunion drama with Lala, Scheana said there were so many “layers” of complexity given that she didn’t want her to feel alone, though she also understood Ariana’s side.

According to Scheana, Ariana approached her after the reunion wrapped, gave her a hug, and said “I love you.” Scheana then went into the dressing room to check on Lala, and they later played mini-golf with their families.

Though she and Lala are still “very close,” she hinted it’s going to be “tough to navigate” her friendship with Ariana in the future.

She then addressed her on-screen conversation with Lisa, who made her feel like Scheana would have “blood on [her] hands” if Tom “does something” while facing “suicidal” thoughts. She also felt that Lisa in a way was trying to guilt her into being friends with Tom again, as she knew the “heartstrings” she could “tug.”

“In a way, I think [Lisa] knew the heartstrings of mine she could tug on, and having lost a brother to suicide, having me lost someone very close to me from suicide, that is something I take extremely seriously,” shared Scheana. “And in that moment, I was like, okay, I don’t like what you’ve done to Ariana, but I also don’t want to see you dead.”

Scheana claimed Ariana wouldn’t tell her if she believed Tom was “suicidal,” and she didn’t help her figure out how to handle the situation. Because of this, Scheana had to “figure it out” for herself, and she decided to have more conversations with him to check in on him.

But Scheana claimed Tom had “ample opportunity” to have a conversation with Ariana before the season began filming, so she suggested that his attempts to talk to her on camera in the finale were too late.

Ariana Madix Shades Vanderpump Rules Producers for ‘Trapping’ Her at Reunion in Retaliation, Accuses Them of Trying to “Manufacture” Fake Scene, Plus Talks Criticism

[ad_1]

Ariana Madix slammed producers for seemingly trapping her at the Vanderpump Rules reunion in retaliation for her refusing to film with Tom Sandoval during the finale.

While appearing on Katie Maloney, 37, and Dayna Kathan‘s podcast on Wednesday, Ariana, 38, accused producers of attempting to manipulate a fake scene between her and Sandoval, 41, while also reacting to criticism she’s received regarding her behavior at the reunion and dishing on her boyfriend, Daniel Wai, 40.

“They did not do what they thought they were gonna do,” Ariana began of producers on the May 29 episode of Disrespectfully. “You see me mouth, ‘What the f*ck,’ I think to Scheana, which was literally like, ‘Oh, so this is what they’re doing? Because when they emailed the episodes, they said, ‘You’ll notice that you don’t have da-da-da,’ but then they didn’t really say why, and so it felt like, honestly, it felt very pointed towards me.”

After denying Sandoval a conversation at the finale in San Diego, Ariana and her castmates were met with footage of the final moments of the finale during the taping of the reunion.

“It felt like, ‘Well we have her trapped in this room now, so we didn’t get what we wanted to get, this like, some sort of tearful … we didn’t get to break her down [in real life] in the moment so we’re gonna retaliate by doing this right now in a place where she’s contractually obligated to be here and try to force this moment now.’ And it’s like, ‘Great. I cried. You guys happy now?’”

According to Ariana, she “gave them the best f*cking ending to what that season could’ve had in that moment by leaving.”

“It was real and it was exciting to watch. Sorry. If you’re looking at it only from a perspective of like, ‘good reality TV,’ I gave you good reality TV,” she insisted, further targeting the series’ producers. “Standing there, this conversation that was like, being, this fake thing, manufactured thing that was like wanting to be had, would’ve been a boring cap to a boring a** season.”

“What did I not show you? I showed you my storage unit of a f*cking bedroom. If you watch the season and you don’t see how low I am during the whole time, you need glasses. I showed all of that stuff. If there’s stuff that they filmed and then decided not to air, that has nothing to do with me, but I gave it all,” she continued. “I even had to convince Dan to film FaceTimes. He’s like, ‘I don’t want to do that.’ I was like, ‘Well, please?’”

As for what her producers wanted out of her, Ariana compared her and Sandoval’s situation to his past drama with Miami girl, who he was accused of cheating with.

“They wanted the [Kristen Doute]-Miami conversation [re-done], like 2.0, but the tearful apology is the two seconds later — that’s why it’s never a thing because there is no … it’s like two seconds after that it turns on a dime so you can’t ever trust it anyway so what’s the point in having it?” she wondered.

Although some have criticized Ariana for not watching the entirety of the season before the reunion taping, suggesting that she would’ve given more emotion if she had, Ariana noted that she saw “plenty of clips online.” That said, she simply didn’t care to go tit-for-tat with her castmates.

“I went there, I flew in, stayed at Katie’s, and then literally got on a plane that night after the reunion to fly back and do two shows [on Broadway] the next day,” she recalled. “I was doing my best to show up, but at the same time, it was like, I don’t have that strong of feelings — I don’t think that would’ve changed anything about like how I responded to things because I also was, like, even if I feel deeply about something, which you do see me talk about things I felt strongly about. But other stuff, I’m like, ‘Am I really gonna sit there and correct every little lie, interject?’ No. I’m not gonna do that.”

“I’m at a point now, I feel like something that’s changed for me as a person is I’ve become a little bit like, ‘What you say about me, you can think that. I don’t care.’ It doesn’t change my life, or it doesn’t change who I am if you think that about me, especially if you’re not a part of my life on a day-to-day basis,” she continued. “So it’s like, I could sit there and I could correct it … but it’s like, for what? For who? Who would I be doing that for?”

As for claims that due to her romance with Dan, she shouldn’t have held such resentment toward Sandoval, Ariana clarified that her new relationship had nothing to do with what she went through.

“Being over that person romantically doesn’t mean you’re over the stuff that you went through — and still going through because I’m still having to deal with like, all of it. I haven’t been there since September and I’m still having to deal with it,” she shared, signaling to the fight over her and Sandoval’s $2 million home.

Vanderpump Rules is currently on pause ahead of its 12th season.

PHOTOS: ‘Something About Her’ Opens Amid Technical Issues as It Draws Large Crowd, Find Out if Ann Maddox Was Present as Fan Shares Pics & Number of Seats, Plus Ariana & Katie Confirm Loverboy Partnership

[ad_1]

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney opened the doors to their new sandwich shop, Something About Her, on Wednesday, amid some technical issues — following months of delays and a soft opening earlier this month.

After droves of fans made their way to the Vanderpump Rules stars’ new business, which is located in West Hollywood, California, not far from TomTom and SUR Restaurant, new information about the venue was revealed as Ann Maddox‘s absence was pulled into question and a collaboration with Summer House cast members Kyle Cooke, 41, and Amanda Batula, 32, was confirmed.

In a video captured by the Vanderpumprulesparty Instagram page, Ariana announces the POS system (Point of Sale system) was having issues. “Our POS system has decided that today is the day that it wants to not work,” said Ariana to the crowd lined up outside.

Speaking of their experience on day one of Something About Her, Bravo Breaking News on Instagram shared that the POS system was working properly by the time they entered the restaurant, adding: “I got in line about 9:15am (45 minutes before opening) and was about 15th in line. They opened a little late (around 10:30) and rather than getting it to go, we waited for a table inside and sat down around 11:30.”

They also included a photo and screenshot of a video of the “MAJOR LINE” of people outside.

“Was Ann there?!” a fan asked the outlet during a Q&A later that day.

“ANN WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!! I also didn’t see her in any of the content from the soft openings,” the fan page replied, also asking with a hashtag, “Where is Ann?”

As Pump Rules fans well know, Ann, the former assistant of Tom Sandoval, 41, began working at Something About Her amid season 11.

Another person wondered, “How many seats are inside?”

And, with a pic of Katie’s mom, Teri Maloney, the outlet revealed, “There are literally [seven] tables (six 2 tops [and] one 4 top) inside. It is TINY! But very cute and quaint. But there is a huge park nearby if you have to take it to go!”

“Is there alcohol on the menu? Outdoor seating?” someone else asked.

“They have [Loverboy] and [Avaline] wine (my two faves). No liquor! And no outdoor seating as of yet … Katie said they are working on that!” they confirmed.

Following the opening, Katie returned home, where she took to her Instagram Story with a message of thanks to her fans and supporters.

“My heart is so f*cking full. I cannot say enough thanks to everyone that came out to support us today and waited in line at [Something About Her]. It means the world to me and [Ariana Madix],” she captioned a sleepy pic of herself.

In another photo shared by Bravo Breaking News, several sandwiches were seen placed on top of Something About Her paper-lined trays, including The Drew, The Viola, and The Kate, each of which came with a pickle and grapes.

Also on opening day, Something About Her and Kyle and Amanda’s Loverboy announced an exciting partnership.

“There’s just Something About Her… drinking a Loverboy … [Something About Her] is officially open and you can pair your new favorite sandwich with [a Loverboy] spritz or tea! Cheers to that,” the companies wrote in the caption of their joint post, which featured an image of Ariana, Katie, Amanda, and Kyle seated in a corner booth at the restaurant.

The Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion concludes next Tuesday, May 28, with part three at 8/7c on Bravo.

Vanderpump Rules Reunion Recap 2: Ariana Snaps at Lala for Not Respecting Her Boundaries, Schwartz is Slammed for Refusing to Admit Jo Relationship, and Sandoval Teases Dirt on James, as James Calls Him Out for Rolling His Eyes

[ad_1]

45

It’s part two of the Vanderpump Rules reunion. Lala is still trying to understand things that have nothing to do with her and Katie is just mad…pretty much the whole time. First it was Lala coming at her, then the Scheana/Schwartz make out gets brought up, and finally Jo comes out to try and speak her truth. That doesn’t go so well, as Schwartz tries to gaslight Jo into thinking they were never a thing. James jumps in at the very end, proving that maybe he’s the number one guy in the group.

Things are going GREAT for Lala and Katie so far. Not… Lala is coming in hot, calling Katie out for acting differently off camera. Lala reminds Katie that she had a lot to say about Ariana when the cameras were down, but when Lala tried to bring it up while filming, Katie wouldn’t bite. Katie claims she chose not to talk about it because she was “over it” and didn’t want to make Ariana feel guilty. And she was certainly not resentful towards Ariana, as Lala insinuates.

Schwartz points out that Katie was probably scared to not be #TeamAriana, but Ariana backs Katie by calling her 100% authentic. Ariana states that Katie is valid in her feelings and Lala just misses the Katie who would also be a truth teller, delivering facts and having uncomfortable conversations. Lala felt like Katie was treating her like the enemy, but believes they will be back to being good friends, even after this touchy conversation. When Andy points out that Katie looks p*ssed, Lala retorts, “well, that’s standard….” And also an easy way to have Katie remain angry with you, Lala.

Because Katie was not mad enough, Andy decides to switch topics and bring up the make out session between Scheana and Schwartz. To be clear, this happened YEARS ago, during a time when Katie HATED Scheana coming into the group. Scheana buried this secret because the last thing in the world she wanted was to hurt Katie. Schwartz apologizes to Scheana for coming on to her and for being a “sloppy, drunken fool.” If not for Scheana’s repressed memory of the evening coming to light during glamping, this would have stayed quiet.

Scheana stands by the fact that every guy in the group has hit on her. James denies it. Sandoval also denies it, however, Scheana’s got a LOT of details… Speaking of hook ups, Katie’s revenge bang with Max gets discussed. Schwartz claims to have manifested this so he could show the world he was a bigger person in this kind of situation, but you know it’s killing him, since Max is his bff. Katie plays coy when asked if she hooked up with Max a second time, so…she did?

The Lake Tahoe trip was NOT a “Sandoval redemption trip,” but rather a way to try to get the group together after the chaos of the past year. Schwartz gets questioned for calling Ariana the queen of the group and Ariana believes that Schwartz is the ONLY person who thinks she has an ego. Just wait til she sees Lala go off about this on the finale episode…

Ariana understands where Scheana was coming from this season as she struggled to be loyal to Ariana, but wanted to let Sandoval back in her life. Scheana desperately tries to show Ariana how much she means to her. Ariana’s boundaries are a hot topic and Andy points out that Lala had boundaries in 2022 about communicating with her ex, so why was everyone giving Ariana such a hard time?

Lala says that the giant difference is that there was a child involved. Katie believes that Ariana is still allowed to have boundaries, but Lala doesn’t understand how Ariana can sleep in the same house as him, yet claim boundaries, especially after having a new boyfriend “10 days later.” Ariana reminds Lala that she supported her boundaries and that Lala doesn’t have to understand her boundaries, but rather respect them.

The fan photo where Scheana has her arm around Sandoval gets brought up. Ariana admits that she was slightly uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as Scheana was when Ariana didn’t tell her she was going to be on Dancing with the Stars (Scheana’s DREAM position). Ariana says she remained tight-lipped because of production and she was afraid that if she told Scheana, she may have been over-heard. Andy makes a plug to have Scheana on DWTS and Scheana poo-poos it, as she has plans with her band…but maaaaybe next year.

Ally enters ready to read Andy’s chart, and Jo enters ready to be eaten alive by Katie. The whole Jo segment left me feeling uncomfortable, since Schwartz refuses to call what they had a relationship, when it very clearly was one. Schwartz and Jo met through Kristen Doute, but it’s strange how they connected…and how Jo wound up crashing at Schwartz’s when she could have asked her FRIEND Kristen.

Schwartz states that it started platonically, but it evolved into a sexual relationship and refers to Jo as “an escape.” Katie actually felt bad for Jo because she saw her situation with Schwartz very differently. Schwartz claims he never texted Jo that he loved her, but he really did say he loved her because he cared about her. Schwartz believes that he was transparent with Jo, but Katie believes that Schwartz was “displaying f*ck boy behavior.” Jo reaches for a tissue and nods as the girls talk about the disconnect. Jo points out that it’s sad to see there was a relationship and it’s even more sad that Schwartz refuses to use the word relationship when discussing their time together, opting for the word “magic” instead.

Schwartz was scared to put labels on what they were and Jo is hurt because she felt like Schwartz’s dirty secret, whereas he has hard-launched a new girlfriend now. No one is sure what to make of Jo. Ariana dislikes her because she believes Jo knew about Rachel and Sandoval and Katie, well, Katie makes her opinion very clear. Katie claims she was so mean about Jo because she didn’t trust her and claims she used “colorful descriptors” when talking about Jo. Katie tells Jo it’s not about her, but Katie behaved that way towards Jo because of all she was dealing with. The last thing Katie needed was Jo…but that sounds like a Katie problem.

When it comes to James and Ally, they embrace the airport shade and embrace their role as parents to some cats and Hippie. Speaking of Hippie, Rachel came out to say that the dog’s bad behavior was a result of how James treated her as a puppy, but James states that Hippie has transformed since being home with him. Ally throws shade and says that the group hasn’t really inspired her to get married and have kids, despite James wanting it, like yesterday.

Lala has been sober for almost 5 ½ years and she thanks Andy for acknowledging her sobriety. James hasn’t had a drink since April and Ally shares that she didn’t like who James was when he was drinking. Ally actually moved out of the house for two nights (and no she did not crash at Schwartz’s) and states that if James were to start drinking again, she would leave.

According to Andy, the real star of VPR this season is Ann, Sandoval/Ariana’s assistant (no, it isn’t Summer Moon, much to Scheana’s chagrin). Ann decided to work for Ariana because she wanted to work with and for other women. Sandoval felt like he got kicked in his gut when this happened, but wastes no time throwing Ann under the bus when it came to “attempted dog murder.” Sandoval states that it could have been him OR Ann who left Ariana’s bedroom door open, causing their dog to eat something and get very sick.

In Ariana’s eyes, there is no doubt that the dog stays with her in this break up. After all, she purchased the dog. This causes Sandoval to roll his eyes, setting off James. James points out that Sandoval was fine when Rachel took Graham from him and wonders how Sandoval had no problem with that then and now here he is making a mockery of the situation. Sandoval gets defensive, as he always does, and blurts out to James, “I’m keeping my mouth shut about the things I have heard” about him. James tells Sandoval that he is “galloping so far ahead of you I can’t even see you.” Touché, James.
