Lala Kent blasted her disgraced co-star Tom Sandoval after he was caught on the phone with Raquel Leviss during a flight to Pittsburgh on Sunday night.
Kent, 32, called the ‘clown’ out on her Instagram Stories, posting a blistering message about him checking up on his ‘main chick’ several weeks after they split up.
‘Look at this clown checking in on his Main Chick before he goes to get fu**ed up and bang his Side Chicks. Maybe even some randoms to add to the roladex.
‘He’s also making sure he maintains his energy supply. He’s got to keep her where he needs her. He’s fully plugged into her and she thinks it’s because she’s loved, and cared about by him…
‘Nothing but an energy source for the narcissist.’

Tom was caught speaking on the phone to Raquel while taking a flight to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Sunday night, several weeks after their breakup.
An eagle-eyed passenger managed to capture a photo of the Vanderpump Rules star, 39, chatting with the former beauty pageant queen.
In the image, the rocker, who is currently touring the Midwest with his cover band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, faced the window on the airplane and wore a pair of wireless headphones.
The Schwartz & Sandy’s owner, who received substantial backlash for cheating on his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix during their nearly decade-long romance, held onto his iPhone, which had Leviss’ name on the screen.
One of the Bravolebrity’s fellow commuters told TMZ that Sandoval was trying to speak quietly, but they realized it was him after hearing his ‘highly recognizable’ voice.
The traveler alleged to the publication that the rocker told Leviss that he was going to ‘f**ing Pittsburgh.’
Their chat may indicate she has finished treatment at a mental health facility, where they were not able to communicate during her stay.
In late April, he stated: ‘Raquel is in a mental facility…Whether she decides to tell you where that is after the fact — that’s where Raquel is. No visitors, no friends, no family, no phone, no nothing.’

However, a source has since told ET Online that Raquel remains in the mental health facility and was actually on a scheduled phone call with Tom.
‘Tom was talking to Raquel during a scheduled phone call when he was spotted on the plane with her name on his phone. Raquel is still in the mental health facility and is very focused on doing the work required of her. Raquel only has certain times during the week she can make calls, and she and Tom had a scheduled call.’
Last month, Sandoval and Leviss broke up just two months after their affair was exposed.
An insider told Page Six: ‘Raquel dipped out. Sandoval is not the one for her.’
Although the affair was only unveiled in March, both Sandoval and Leviss have revealed their romance actually started last summer.
A month ago, the restaurateur revealed they are ‘kind of taking a break’ while appearing on Howie Mandel Does Stuff’s podcast.
‘We’re not putting any label on it,’ the reality star stated.

When asked if they were still friends ‘with benefits’ by the comedian, 67, Sandoval denied they were still romantically involved.
‘Not right now,’ the rocker, who is in the cover band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, told listeners, after insisting he and the former pageant queen are still ‘good friends.’
As for how their relationship blossomed from platonic to intimate, Sandoval opened up about his attraction to Leviss as he and Madix, 37, drifted apart after nearly a decade together.

‘We were at my house, and I’m locked out of my house and we’re talking and we kissed,’ he recalled. ‘It was magnetic. We were moving closer and as we were talking, time went on, and we’re talking closer and closer and closer, and all of a sudden, we’re kissing. I felt something that I hadn’t felt in so long, like, emotionally.’
He went on to explain how he and Madix had begun living their own lives and the romance between them had grown stale.
‘We had been together for nine years, and obviously we had built a house and business together and everything. We were a brand. And like many relationships, it became more of a best friend/family/sometimes roommates situation,’ he explained.
The Missouri native said their relationship overall was ‘just lacking intimacy’ and ‘connection.’
He felt that they were remaining together to ‘keep the optics up that [they] were solid’ for their reality show and other business endeavors.
‘We did have each other’s backs, for sure, and that was nice. There was a safety to it and a stability,’ he said of Madix.
Ahead of turning 40 he recalled thinking his life ‘looked very bleak’ and started thinking his ‘best years were behind.’

‘I started to lose my optimism in life and my drive. I felt like I needed to make a change to feel alive again, to feel motivated, to feel optimistic again,’ Sandoval confessed.
Before his affair, he said his ‘confidence was zapped’ and any sexual experience with him would be the equivalent to hooking up with ‘a 19-year-old’ during ‘his second time’ as he lost his ‘game.’
‘I’m not saying it’s [Ariana’s] fault, we just didn’t have that intimacy,’ Sandoval claimed.
After hearing his guest’s side, Mandel urged fans to have ’empathy and compassion’ for Sandoval, who previously said he felt like ‘one of the most hated people in America’ for betraying Madix.
‘You need to be heard because the narrative is everyone else’s but but yours,’ the America’s Got Talent judge told listeners. ‘I don’t understand the hatred and the vitriol.’
While the father-of-three stated he wasn’t ‘condoning cheating on a partner,’ he raised eyebrows for saying that the amount of backlash Sandoval has received has been perplexing.
Leviss checked into a facility for mental health treatment in April – amid the continued fallout from her affair with Sandoval.
The reality star chose to enter the voluntary facility before her fling was discovered, reports ET.
A source said: ‘Raquel and her family decided before the relationship was discovered that she would enter a voluntary facility for mental health counseling.

‘She was scheduled to go in pre-reunion but decided she wanted to finish her filming commitment. Bravo and production were aware and in support of her journey towards better mental health.
Leviss’ rep added that she was not in a facility for substance abuse issues.
Last month Leviss issued a statement in which she revealed she was analyzing her own behavior and speaking to a counselor after the affair was exposed.
She said: ‘I am reflecting on my choices, speaking to a counselor and I am learning things about myself such as my patterns of codependency and addiction to being and feeling loved.
‘I have sought emotional validation through intimate connections that are not healthy without regard for my own well-being, sometimes negatively affecting others and often prioritizing the intimate connection over my friendships. I am taking steps to understand my behavior and make healthier choices.’
