Lala Kent breaks silence on Bravo’s ‘Vanderpump Rules’ recasting bombshell
Lala Kent will not be returning for 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 12! The 34-year-old blonde beauty recently took to her Instagram page and shared her thoughts on Bravo's decision to bring in a brand-new cast for the upcoming season.
"Where to begin. I was a young girl from Salt Lake City who made her way to L.A. I would introduce myself as Lauren, but because my childhood best friend referred to me as Lala, my nickname quickly stuck," she started by writing. The reality TV star added, "Sur was a place that became home. I found myself not only sipping on vodka sodas there, but behind a hostess stand… it still to this day is the most intimidating job I’ve ever had. A short time later the opportunity to be on a show called Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me."
