Over the years, Lala Kent has made headlines for her personal and professional life — which she has filmed for Vanderpump Rules.
After joining the series in season 4, the newcomer quickly became a fan-favorite and a main cast member. Although cameras captured most aspects of her life, Kent decided to offer a different glimpse at the details with her Give Them Lala memoir.
“I wrote it because I thought people would be that interested in my life story. I feel like since I signed on to Vanderpump, there was like a microscope on me that I was not used to,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2021, ahead of her book’s release. “And I kept feeling like I needed to explain certain things. … I felt like I was just walking into rooms with a Scarlet letter on me and just this heaviness of me needing to explain how it happened or why I am the way I am. And even though these things had happened a long time ago, I was still carrying them with me up until recently.”
At the time, the TV personality said her dating life was one of the topics she wanted to clarify. Kent previously made headlines when she went public with Randall Emmett in 2018. After welcoming their first child together, the couple called it quits amid cheating rumors.
At the time, Kent was outspoken about trying to move on and start a new chapter.
“My life is very different. I’m in a good place. If you took my life and it was like a puzzle, I would say it’s pretty much finished. There are just a few pieces I need to find. I know this is such a strange analogy, but I feel happy. I’m excited to be back,” she told Us in July 2022 about filming her as a single mother in season 10 of Vanderpump Rules. “Hanging out with your friends and being able [to] forget the cameras are there. I think the one thing that makes me nervous is I forget the cameras are there and then I come home and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, what did I just share?’”
