Katie Maloney and Lala Kent Tease Rift Ahead of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 10 Premiere

Katie Maloney and Lala Kent have hinted that their friendship is on shaky ground ahead of the Season 10 premiere of Vanderpump Rules. 

Katie read off a fan question during a recent episode of her podcast, You’re Gonna Love Me, asking — “‘Are you and Lala on good terms still? Vibes are off.’”

Katie agreed, commenting, “Vibes are definitely off.”

Lala responded to Katie’s assessment on her own podcast, Give Them Lala.

“So many people asked about [Katie],” she began. “So of course, I was like, ‘Why are people asking this?’ Well, now I know that someone asked Katie this on her podcast, and she said, ‘The vibes are definitely off.’ So I guess the vibes are definitely off.”

Lala’s co-host asked — “Is that news to you?” which prompted the Pump Rules star to reveal that a heated DM exchange went down between the pair, seemingly after Lala failed to wish her pal a “Happy Birthday” on Monday, January 16.

“Well after the DMs I got from her the other day, not so much. Not so much! I would say a little bit off,” the reality star said. “But just like I’ve said before, I got a lot going on. That is the least of my concern. And I hope she had a very happy birthday. It slipped my mind that it was her birthday because it was MLK Day … I completely spaced it. You know, with MLK Day happening, and I had [my daughter] Ocean and she was feeling sick. So there’s that.”

Lala and Katie shared a close friendship leading into the new VPR season as Lala has stood publicly beside Katie amid her divorce from Tom Schwartz. 

“She’s one of those friends where we can sit on the phone for hours and we just gossip and talk about what it’s like to have these new lives,” Lala told Us of her cast mate back in July.

“We’re both back living in apartments and we’re like, ‘It’s single girl summer.’ So I’m just excited that I have her. I mean, I’m so sad that her marriage ended because you never wanna see that. But it happened to the two most perfect people because it has been so easy in the sense that they still maintain a friendship. If that makes sense, you know? It wasn’t like you had to pick a side. There wasn’t this ultimate betrayal where it was like, ‘You’re dead to me.’ So yes, leaning on each other — definitely.”

Lala threw shade at Raquel Leviss at BravoCon in October after Raquel hooked up with Schwartz over the summer. Her remarks seemingly confirmed her ongoing loyalty to Katie. 

Now fans are wondering if Scheana Shay could be at the center of the tension between Lala and Katie.  

Fans will see Lala and Scheana, who spent Christmas together with their daughters, revive their friendship during the upcoming season of the Bravo series. 

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 premieres in February.
