The timeline of Stephen and Ayesha Curry’s relationship
It has come to light that Katie Maloney and Lala Kent do not get along.
In an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast on Tuesday, July 2, Katie provided an update on her life following the conclusion of Vanderpump Rules. The “Something About Her” co-owner claimed she hasn’t spoken to her co-star since they fell out during the season 11 reunion.
“I felt like obviously she had been harboring certain feelings and thinking certain things that I didn’t know she had felt,” Katie explained. “And so she was saving them for the reunion, which I didn’t feel like was super authentic. To sit there and be called an inauthentic person or fake, but meanwhile, I’m sitting next to somebody who I thought I knew and knew very well and was open and honest with me, but had been feeling a certain way about me for a very long time.”
“That was shocking,” she continued.
She said that she believed the season finale in San Francisco had settled her and Lala’s problems, despite the fact that they have been friends for almost ten years. Katie claimed she felt taken by surprise when she learned there were topics Lala hadn’t previously discussed with her during the reunion tape.
“It’s very difficult to come back from once you violate my trust in that way,” Katie remarked. For me, trust is the most crucial factor. And those weren’t the kinds of talks that belonged on camera, so don’t attempt to use it to manipulate me or use it against me by saying we talked about these things.
Despite being costars on a show, Katie thought she and Lala were friends off the show as well. Joking that Lala expected her to “read my diary” for the public to hear, Katie admitted that she sees Lala differently now.
“I’m allowed to have some kind of privacy and talk about emotions with people,” she said. “Just like I do with my mom, I do with other friends. You [Lala] were one of those people.”
Katie continued to say that she and Lala have had several conversations that she “would never make public just for the sake of the show,” and she expected the same loyalty back.
“I was icked out,” Katie confessed. “It wasn’t shocking because it’s just like, ‘OK, well, you could have also brought this up literally anytime last season. It would have been a hell of a lot more relevant.’”
She later added: “I half expected her to do that but I thought, ‘Maybe she just is being respectful of that being a private conversation.’”
Katie said she felt Lala’s accusations at the reunion was a “tactic” to “make me look bad.”
On the season 11 finale, Lala claimed Katie was “not very honest” about her feelings toward costar Ariana Madix.
“I’m like we’ve had discussions, you and I, Katie, about the group being like bobbleheads, that Ariana and Tom surround themselves with. They both do,” she said. “And now you’ve turned into one. How do I talk to you? How do I f—ing talk to you? While she had said many times that Ariana needed to be out of the house, that there was no reason why she shouldn’t be in that house still. Then when cameras picked up it was like the complete opposite.”
