Lala Kent Criticizes ‘The Valley’ Cast, Points Out Their Missing ‘Deep Connections’ and Low ‘Stakes’

Lala Kent threw shade at The Valley, claiming it lacks “deep-rooted friendships” and there isn’t “enough at stake.” Specifically, the star called out castmates who weren’t on Vanderpump Rules.

The Valley began as Pump Rules’ spinoff, and it includes alums Kristen Doute, Brittany Cartwright, and Jax Taylor. The other stars are reality TV newbies, except Jasmine Goode, who was a contestant on The Bachelor.

Though Lala and her former co-star Scheana Shay are no longer on Pump Rules, they sometimes film as friends on The Valley.

On her Give Them Lala podcast, Lala threw shade at the spinoff.

“I think [The Valley‘s] missing … the really deep-rooted friendships,” said Lala. “I don’t feel like there’s enough at stake. The thing that made Vanderpump Rules so special is you could be like, wow, they’ve been roommates for 10 years before this show even came to be.”

“I remember entering Vanderpump Rules and people being like, when we were filming the reunion, they’re like, ‘You don’t know us, Lala. This group has history.’ And I was so intimidated by that because I felt like such an outsider,” she added, before seemingly addressing the non-Pump Rules castmates on The Valley. “And now I’m sitting here and I’m like, ‘You know nothing about us. We got history.’”

Back in April, Lala addressed her feud with The Valley star Zack Wickham, who’s friends with Kristen.

“I’ve never ever had an issue with [Zack in the past],” she explained on her podcast at the time. “And I’ve only known that he’s had an issue with me because he comments on these like little mini Bravo accounts where he clearly does not dig me, which I did not know because every time I’ve seen him, he’s been nice … I don’t dig it when someone has a problem for free. Like, I don’t understand what the beef is.”

“So he’s [at this event]. He’s going to this performance, right? And I’m like, of course, like the one night I go out, I’ve got this guy showing up who, like, clearly has an issue with me for no reason that I know of,” Lala continued.

She added, “And I’m like, I’m just going to avoid him and ignore him in a house full of all of six people. Like, I just won’t acknowledge his presence because I just want to have a good night. And I don’t even know what I would say … This kid is literally beefing with himself in these low-level comment sections.”
