Lala Kent is addressing claims that Lisa Vanderpump once tried to set her up with Tom Sandoval.
The Valley star, 35, was quizzed about the rumor, which former Vanderpump Rules costar Scheana Shay first alluded to on her podcast back in March, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Wednesday, May 13.
“Y’all are killing me right now,” Lala joked before laughing.
She continued, “I do not want to talk about this woman at all,” before adding, “Stuff happens, you know? Things are said. People ask questions.”
“I won’t confirm or deny that that did or did not happen,” the Vanderpump Rules alum teased. “You catch what I’m putting down?”
During a March episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast, Scheana, 41, claimed that Lisa, 65, encouraged Lala to hook up with Tom, 42, during season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.
“The same person who allegedly pushed the Dorit [Kemsley] dog storyline. The same person who tricked me into working a party at Sur one time,” Scheana said of Vanderpump, per Reality Tea. “The same person who tried to get Lala and Sandoval to hook up [in] season 11.”
“[Lisa] called Lala and suggested that. And Lala was like, ‘I would sleep with Ken [Todd] before I would sleep with Tom,’” Scheana claimed.
Vanderpump Rules season 11 followed the fallout of the “Scandoval” drama after Ariana Madix discovered Tom’s affair with costar Rachel Leviss.
While Scheana and Lala appeared to be on good terms after Vanderpump Rules was rebooted with a new cast in 2025, Scheana shared on her podcast in October 2025 that she and Lala had fallen out.
“After extending grace last week, I do feel the need to address it because Lala knows why our friendship is in the state that it’s in,” Scheana said, claiming Lala “did not take accountability” for their feud.
“This is not just about not posting my book for a week. It is about so much more than that,” Scheana added, referring to her memoir, My Good Side: A Memoir, which was published in July 2025.
According to Scheana, Lala told mutual friends about her husband Brock Davies’ infidelity, which she first revealed in her memoir and said she had privately disclosed to Lala before the book’s release. (Last year, Scheana said Brock cheated on her while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer.)
“Not one — but two — of my closest friends repeated the Brock affair story to other people. One of those that it was repeated to was Brittany [Cartwright]. I know Brittany doesn’t have bad intentions. I wanted to tell her myself but I didn’t have a chance,” Scheana said. “That one that I can’t get over is Lala telling [our mutual friend] Jenna Willis, who I have not been on good terms with since last season.”
She continued: “Lala did it to humanize me because she said that Jenna was going so hard on me that she wanted to tell her about what I was actually going through. Now I understand the intent was not malicious. … I kept this to myself for two years and then I told one of my best, closest and dearest friends and you go and tell someone. That was extremely heartbreaking.”
