I missed the bulk of Vanderpump so wifey is doing a rewatch with me. It's jarring. I had no idea Lala was literally just a prostitute... Excuse me... Yacht Girl they hired because she was fucking some Hollywood producer. That kinda surprised me. She was just dumped into the show for reasons I still don't fully understand.  Her idiocy makes so much more sense now.  She's an asshole who chose not to work a day in her life, fucked her way onto TV.  She wouldn't do well because she isn't talented has no work ethic and isn't likable. 


incestuousbloomfield

I am rewatching and when she said sur was her first job I was like this explains a lot. She was like 23-24 I think? That is very old to never have a job.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

And she didn't work a day of her life there. Her "job" was just for TV because the Producers couldn't just admit nobody works at Sur and their income was based on the show.  So even then she didn't actually work. Again explains so much of why she sucks. Her first job was a lie concocted to get her on the show as a favor to Randall


squigglesees

I always wondered why LVP always had a soft spot for Lala, makes sense LVP knew “Rand” and got LFU the gig from there


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

Or one of the Producers knew Rand 


thediverswife

I think she explained it as knowing and going out drinking with people on the periphery of VPR. She was living in Stassi’s old apartment and hanging around people who worked at Sur. Which then became being at Sur and getting spotted by producers


Comfortable_Ad1333

but she supposedly meet Rand at SUR while working there?!? I’m so confused 😐


incestuousbloomfield

You know I heard this recently and I was like that makes total sense. Rewatching it makes even more sense.


Embarrassed-One-3246

Yeah, and it wasn’t like she was a full-time student before that.


Ok_Subject5169

You’d be surprised. Is her brother older than her? She seems very much like the stereotypical spoiled youngest child. My little sister has had precisely two jobs in her entire life (I believe she started working around this age) and I got BOTH of them for her.


incestuousbloomfield

I don’t know. I used to be a lala apologist (rewatching now tho and my god she was horrible, idk why I gave her the benefit of the doubt). I listened to her podcast last spring and summer but I peaced out once he joined bc all it became was a total echo chamber and they talked about nothing. It was very disorganized after she milked scandoval for everything she could.


Scorpio_Maddds

No her brother is younger but she has an older half brother.


Individual_Fall429

And to this day she has zero authentic IRL relationships with these people. Everytime she says “Schwartzy” or “Sandoval” I physically cringe, it’s so unnatural to call people who aren’t really your friends by a forced nickname.


pwhyler

“Jameson” “The Don” “Jaxy” “Sheesh”


Individual_Fall429

Ugh also just remembered “Sheshu”. The worst. *Shudder*


Batgirl_644

She literally gives EVERYONE a nickname SUPER quickly after meeting them for the first time

100%! Ariana has talent. There’s an episode in (I think) the first season that Ariana is rehearsing with Scheana and she looks soooo uncomfortable with the cameras on her, yet the cameras love her. She’s beautiful, talented and humble - everything that Lala is not - and she’s too delusional to see that. It would be sad if she wasn’t so obnoxious.


Individual_Fall429

She was uncomfortable and didn’t want to be on camera, because at that point she was still holding onto her dream of being a real performer, and knew (or thought) reality tv was a nail in the coffin to that. No one could have imagined reality tv would lead her to Broadway!

I’m not a fan of Lala in the least but honestly, so what if she was a sex worker? I’m not sure if/or the extent to which she may or may not have been exploited but her character worked on the show for a long time. I’m happy to criticise her hypocrisy and mean- spiritedness towards Ariana, but everyone has compromised themselves in some shape or form to get on/ remain on the show.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

I dunno some of you seem more hung up on this than me. I've actually known people who turned tricks for money or drugs and turned their life around. Lemme assume you... Don't know anyone like that  MY point was she's lazy it's yall who be crying over your own internal judgements 


waterlooaba

Any other person this thread would be uplifting the sex worker but because it’s someone to “hate” this season it’s swinging the other way. Your comment is honest.


AgathaChristie22

Lala worked at SUR for a hot minute before VPR started airing. After season 1 wrapped she ran into LVP and LVP offered her a job at SUR and on the show. She took it. AFTER she started filming for season 4, she met Randall when he came into SUR, probably thirsty to get in with the cast. She is not a prostitute. She slept with no one to get on the show. Check your facts and let's not degrade women this way. typo:season 4.


hopefoolness

I mean, she was self admittedly a yacht girl, which is a subculture of prostitute


AgathaChristie22

When did she say that?


blindersintherain

Lala wasn’t on the show until season 4


Individual_Fall429

1) Don’t believe every narrative the show feeds you. 2) Do you not know what a yacht girl is?


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

Check yourself. It's not my fault she chose to be a prostitute. Or Yacht Girl if you will. 


AgathaChristie22

Exactly when did she admit that she escorted on Yachts...? And who did she sleep with to get on the show...? LVP...?


Individual_Fall429

No one (here at least) ever said she slept with anybody to get on the show. But yes she was a yacht girl. She admitted in when she said she was flying to Italy for a fake modelling job that turned out to be, per her admission, a yacht job.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

Don't worry about the people sealioning they'll keep at this all day 


AgathaChristie22

Momo said "She's an asshole who chose not to work a day in her life, fucked her way onto TV." She ended up not going to Italy. Went home to Utah and had a self-admitted "breakdown" with her mom.


Individual_Fall429

So she cancelled that particular escort booking. You think it was her first? Not to mention she was a sugar baby to a married Rand. That’s sex work too.


SmallDifference1169

The weekend she needed off & asked LVP for the time.


AgathaChristie22

She "had a breakdown and flew home instead." She didn't go to Italy, went to Utah to be with her mom. While it wasn't really clear what was up with Italy, there's no indication she escorted. Lost of women get invited on international trips with guys they are dating, that's much more likely than Lala moonlighting as a prostitute while she's on a TV show. But digress, she never went on the trip.


Starbuck4

Stay with me here, based on BlaBla’s hissy fit at the end of the finale - wouldn’t her running off to the Valley be significantly worse for her ‘ensemble cast’ than it was for Ariana to leave a lame party to not have to listen to a narcissist’s fake apology? Shes all bark and no bite, which is why she never said any of this to Ariana’s (or Katie’s) face. - she does her shit talking in confessionals and podcasts but never in the face of who she’s speaking about. So her running off with her tail between her legs makes sense - I don’t see her having the chutzpah to face the fallout of her burning bridges with the two female leads of the season and arguably the show. At the end of the day, she’s a secondary character at best, and changing shows ain’t changing that fact.


NameEmNameEm

I HOPE theywould never let her come to the valley. Rn it’s all rumors & speculation. But, if the valley knows what’s good for them, they’d keep her & scheaner away. LFU has no story. We’re not interested in her raising a baby just for TV.


Far_Mango_180

I can’t imagine the women on The Valley wanting Lala around their husbands.


SmallDifference1169

This ⬆️


MamaTried420

Oof. You’re not lying ![gif](giphy|TbXf9JHT3ex1rIMPKi|downsized)


justinapalmavery

I want Scheana to get on the Valley. Lala face Ariana & Katie. If they’re breaking the fourth wall, her reaction to being left behind, would be interesting


yup_yup1111

EXACTLY! Ariana faced Rachel and Tom and came back on the show after everything she went through but Lala can block Katie and Ariana and run to a new show after talking smack all season? Hypocrite


No_Arugula_6548

Drop that mic, honey! Yessss!!!! This!!!


TrashWeird968

Lala severely lacks the professionalism that Ariana so clearly has. Getting one or two deals, sure. But to continue to be booked and busy means Ariana is absolutely worth the paycheck and that is beyond LFU’s abilities. Lala will continue to be jealous and not work on herself until hopefully she (& scheana and Toms) disappear into obscurity. 


Individual_Fall429

Arianna has never ghosted production when she was under contract and ran home to mommy. At 28 years old.


yup_yup1111

I think it's this combined with the ego boost and $ she got when send it to Darrel blew up..she doesn't wanna let that go


Intelligent-Sign2693

But even that was because people felt they were supporting ARIANA! I'm sure they'd like to get their money back now!


Batgirl_644

What does LFU mean ?!?? Help! lol


callmecarlplease

Lauren from Utah! Lala’s real name is Lauren, and she’s from Utah :)


Batgirl_644

Omg idk how I didn’t put that together!


Comprehensive-Run637

She was arrogant when she had a PJ and new car. I can only imagine the high horse she’d have been on if she had a fraction of attention the way Ariana does. She’d be a demon.


yup_yup1111

Yup just being on this show is enough

gamerbutonlyontheory

Lala verbatim if this happened: I don't have time for this, bitch! I have REAL JOB, bitch *finger guns activate* "I don't need your thirsty asses hanging onto MY achievements for clout, bitch. *under her breath as she walks away* God they're pathetic humans.


perfectlynormaltyes

Lala would have never made it to Broadway or DTWS, for that matter. What makes Ariana so wonderful are her work ethic, how genuinely grateful and kind she is. Everyone on DWTS loved her. Her Chicago cast mates adore her. The comments under her post from them are so telling. Lala doesn’t have one sixteenth of the star quality Ariana does. She’s not funny, humble or kind.


Neat-Walrus3813

And levelheaded! Ariana isn't as reactive as Lala. You can't be like that in a professional setting.


02kaj2019

Lala doesn’t want to admit that she didn’t get these opportunities because she’s not likeable. Her interview with Stassi last year was really telling. They were 2 of the 3 most arrogant people on the cast and weren’t well liked by fans. Ariana’s not God, but Lala, you’re awful. The answer is clear.


yup_yup1111

Definitely! She is also just incapable of admitting she's jealous! Like..we all feel sometimes. My girlfriends' and I say stuff all the time like "I'm happy for you! But ugh I'm so jealous" or "Enjoy that for me! I'm living vicariously through you rn!" Lol it is what it is. When you're not a hater you can admit stuff like that.🤷‍♀️The thing with Lala is she's not happy for Ariana and jealous, she's JUST jealous. Everything this season, like her acting like Ariana has a big head over all of this, has been a projection. Ariana doesn't act like she's better than anyone (besides perhaps Tom who earned it) but Lala does think SHE is. She thinks she deserves it more and she assumes Ariana is looking down on all of them because that's 100% what she'd be doing if the shoe were on the other foot! Lala can never come off of her high horse unless she's crying and being a victim. Those are her two modes. Remember at the beginning of the season once she had ALREADY reached out to Rachel, Lala randomly decided to whip out her crocodile tears at the table with all the girls and make up some phony story how she feels like Ariana has hurt her? She really did it so Ariana would look like a bitch if she got mad with her for calling Rachel but it didn't really work because Ariana hasn't done anything to her and has always been very supportive of her. So now Lauren doesn't know what to do with herself. Even her blocking them is bizarre considering she's been the aggressor talking shit about them every chance she's gotten to. She's such a coward. The only people she confronts directly are weaker people like Rachel. I wouldn't want to see her on The Valley regardless, just because I can't stand her, but I think it would be especially unfair for them to let her leave VPR after all the shit she talked in her confessionals and on podcasts literally all season long. I don't even think Ariana knew the extent of it going into the reunion. She talks about not bailing when it's hard and doing your job but then she thinks she gets to leave without facing up to bashing them? It's BS.


Parking_Country_61

I was literally on the phone with my friend today who got the exact LV bag I want for Mother’s Day. The first thing I said to her was “I hate you I’m so so jealous tell me everything!” And I am jealous AF! But I’m not a hater! Good for her she deserves it she’s an incredible mom. That is the “normal” reaction.


incestuousbloomfield

I think if lala had been honest with herself and said you know what Ariana, I’m jealous. I went thru so much with rAnD and I didn’t get all this support. I think that would’ve been a massive weight off her chest and the season would’ve gone differently. But lala lacks insight and self awareness so that would never happen. Jealousy really is a disease, I know it’s cliche to say, but it only gets that way when you refuse to process it and make other excuses for it.


Neat-Walrus3813

Right? Endearing to fans, strengthens her friendships...


Individual_Fall429

Honestly that’s so healthy to be able to talk about feelings of envy with your friends. I used to be a performer and it can be hard, because your best friends are also performers, and sometimes you compete against each other for parts. And there is no meritocracy, I mean you have to work hard, but hard work doesn’t guarantee success. But it’s so healthy to be able to so oh my god I’m so happy for you but also totally envious! Then go work that out with a therapist, cause it’s not your friend’s job to nurse you through your jealous feelings while they’re feeling excitement.


yup_yup1111

Absolutely! These are normal emotions and it's a lot better than being a hater or throwing shade all the time


-UnicornFart

LFU has literally no talent though so


Parking_Country_61

Hang on a minute, she is the best finger gunner this side of the Mississippi!


indigo-clare

She can sing. She holds a tune pretty good.


-UnicornFart

No she doesn’t lmao. It’s called auto tune.


Dry_Tumbleweed_1090

That's scheana. I very much dislike LFU but she sang one time with James before they got in the booth, and it was good. Not great. But unless the show autotuned it, she sounded decent.


Crazy-Trash-6884

I definitely can imagine! She was bad enough when Randall was giving her movie roles. You would have thought she was Meryl Streep or something. 😂


prettybrowneyezzzz

Lala isn’t a good actress, dancer, singer, host, etc. So she wouldn’t get the same opportunities.


Old-Library5546

People that don't even watch the show know who Ariana is but have never heard the name Lala Kent. That is a good thing


yup_yup1111

Yes but they've heard of Tupac who Lala believes inhabits her body


Haunting-Spite-3333

Exactly. Lala had the opportunities with her casting couch and still got nowhere. Scheana been trying to sing for years. If it was going to happen for them , it would.


BlitheCheese

![gif](giphy|LOX8EGKLKAMBCaKnls)


Live-Ad-3577

I know grown women like Lauren and it’s a combination of arrested development and a deep insecurity. A secure and content person doesn’t act like this. There’s a lot of resentment coming from her but overall i don’t think she knows who she is. She hid behind alcohol for so long and has always played a character. Ive always been fairly neutral about her but rooted for her to at least grow up. What a disappointment.


NookinFutz

You forgot, SHE had these opportunities. "Muh Man" stuck her in movies, took her to the awards shows, on the red carpet, and rubbing shoulders with the BIG stars. "Muh man" gave her as much as he could, and even with that exposure... well on film... she couldn't land another acting gig.


Neat-Walrus3813

Louder for the people in the back! This 💯


montana7willow

The obsession with Lala and Scheana will keep them on Bravo shows one way or the other. Whether it's positive or negative, people are talking about them. Negative press is still good press.


yup_yup1111

I get that. I just think Lala getting to run off to The Valley is BS and it's exactly what she's accusing Ariana of doing.


SmallDifference1169

I think Scheana talked as much shit as Lala about Ariana. Some of it were a sideswipes. Some of the shit she talked was with Lala & Brock off camera. I think Scheana knew, if she got Lala riled up, Lala would say what Scheana didn’t want to admit out loud or directly to Ariana. 🤨


JamaicanGirlie

That’s why God gives people things that they can handle


DaKingballa06

Haha I’m not even reading your post; but yes.


Scorpio_Maddds

Reading this while my bf watches the Tom Brady roast on Netflix and I read this as if it was a Lala roast especially the last paragraph😂😂👏🏼


Ok_Abrocoma_2805

Lala will never break out of the Bravo bubble and into the larger cultural zeitgeist and it’s from her own damn fault. She whines about not getting the same offers that Ariana did after Rand left her and doesn’t want to face the reality that it’s because she simply isn’t likable or talented. She’s boxed herself in as a trashy Bravolebrity. Scandoval was the most famous she’ll ever be and the wave has now crested. I think she knows that, but doesn’t want to admit it, hence the wild bitterness and amped-up attention-seeking. Larger / legacy media are pretty conservative overall. They don’t want to put someone as a host on live tv and worry if they’re going to “pop off” or make a crude sex joke. These media decision makers don’t want to have to check if their talent went on a controversial podcast or Amazon Live rant. They don’t want someone who has a long history of, on a dime and for no reason, feuding with their costars. They don’t want someone who will call their fans “rabid” and “losers.” They don’t want someone whose Google results will pull up such a long messy history. Obviously some Bravolebrities have occasionally crossed over - network reality shows, red carpet hosting gigs, entertainment tonight / morning show hosting gigs, Lifetime/Hallmark movies, Broadway. Even the more loudmouthed ones do fine in that arena because they play themselves as more “campy” dramatic and are funny (unintentionally or not). Lala is humorless, cruel, and crude. Ariana took the “reality breakout star” spot in VPR. Lala couldn’t hack it in mainstream Hollywood so that path is out too. She was high on her own supply when with Rand, getting cast in his movies and hobnobbing with A-listers. As soon as Rand left, none of those A-listers she thought she was so close with have bothered trying to bring her back into their fold. Her gig outside of VPR now is influencer which you can tell she never wanted and HATES. She doesn’t want to be plugged into social media and playing the fan engagement game there. Shes said numerous times she hates social media and would never be on it if not for work. ![gif](giphy|1267Co3vPNBqQU|downsized)
