Are Katie Maloney and Lala Kent feuding? Fans puzzled over 'Vanderpump Rules' stars' 'bad vibes' jabs
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Stars of Bravos’ popular reality series ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent and Katie Maloney seem to have embroiled themselves in a bit of a feud ahead of the premiere of Season 10. The two stars have been long-term friends, and Lala had been supportive of Katie during her recent divorce with Tom Schwartz.
Katie celebrated her 36th birthday on January 16 and seems to have taken offence at Lala for not wishing her, and the two have also been involved in an argument over Instagram. Fans have speculated the precise reason behind the feud, with both stars commenting their takes on the situation in the last few days.

Katie Maloney and Lala Kent involved in a fight ahead of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 10?
In a recent episode of her ‘You’re Gonna Love Me’ podcast, Katie was asked by a fan whether she was still on good terms with Lala. Katie had a simple response: “Vibes are definitely off.”
Katie did not reveal the reason behind the fight, and also did not elaborate on the overall situation. Lala heard about Katie’s comments during an episode of her own podcast, known as “Give Them Lala.” Lala was initially surprised: “So many people asked about [Katie],” she began. “So of course, I was like, ‘Why are people asking this?’ Well, now I know that someone asked Katie this on her podcast and she said, ‘The vibes are definitely off.’ So I guess the vibes are definitely off.” When Lala’s co-host asked her if this was news to her, she revealed that the two had also had an altercation on Instagram DMs. “Well after the DMs I got from her the other day, not so much. Not so much! I would say a little bit off,” she said.
While it might be possible that the feud is a result of Lala simply forgetting to wish Katie on her birthday, the news has not been confirmed. Lala claimed that she was not able to wish Katie because she had her own things going on, and hoped that Katie had a happy birthday: “But just like I’ve said before, I got a lot going on. That is the least of my concern. And I hope she had a very happy birthday. It slipped my mind that it was her birthday because it was MLK Day. … I completely spaced it. You know, with MLK Day happening and I had [my daughter] Ocean and she was feeling sick. So there’s that.”
Fans will be hoping that the two can solve their feud ahead of Season 10, which premieres on February 8, at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
