Lala Kent Explains Why She’s Not Friends with Katie Maloney Now: “I Don’t Think…”

The Vanderpump Rules‘ castmates’ issues with one another came to a head during the Season 11 reunion.

Lala Kent and Katie Maloney hit a serious bump in their friendship on Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, and the two haven’t been able to smooth things over in the months since filming wrapped.

On the August 21 episode of her podcast, Give Them Lala, the expectant mom reflected on her past friendships with Katie, Ariana Madix, and The Valley‘s Kristen Doute.

“They all have a really special place in my heart. I had a really fun time with Ariana when I first was on the show,” she explained. “Katie, my friendship with her [during] season 10, I thought that that friendship was really on point. When I think back, I’m like, ‘Wow, even though it was a hard time in my life, that friendship really got me through a tough time in my life.'”

Though Lala and Katie aren’t close anymore, Ocean Kent Emmett’s mama has nothing but positive feelings about her past friendship with the Something About Her co-owner.

“Katie and I were very close. I don’t think now we have anything in common and that’s OK,” Lala said. “I don’t even know what we would talk about [now]. We’re just in such different places and I think that friendship was meant to be the way it was for the time being.”

“I think that that’s totally OK. I have nothing but fond memories of that friendship,” she continued, adding that she also has “nothing but fond memories of the friendship[s] had with Ariana and [Kristen] Doute. But people change and move on.”

“I wish them all the best,” she concluded.

Katie herself looked back on her once-close relationship with the former SUR hostess during an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast on July 2.

“I haven’t spoke[n] to [Lala] since the reunion,” Katie said, referring to the Season 11 reunion, which taped in March. “I mean, yeah, I didn’t see that coming.”

Katie also agreed that the two were in “different places” in their lives.

“I think her and I, and our lives are in slightly different places, and sometimes it just means you’re not meeting on the same page,” she added on the podcast. “And, I don’t know, I just, I felt like, obviously she had been harboring certain feelings, and thinking certain things that I didn’t know that she had felt, and so she was saving them for the reunion, which I didn’t feel like was super authentic.”

She also didn’t feel like she would ever be able to resolve her differences with Lala. “Once you violate my trust like that, it’s very hard to come back from [it],” she explained. “Trust is, like, the most important thing to me.”
