Lala Kent feels she shouldn't have been so critical of Raquel Leviss at 'Vanderpump Rules' reunion, says 'I felt dirty'
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: 'Lala Kent is reflecting on her behavior as the ‘Vanderpump Rules' reunion's third part aired on Wednesday, June 7. The star from the show now ‘regrets’ how she treated disgraced Raquel Leviss. "In the moment during the reunion, after I left, I felt dirty," Kent confessed.
The 32-year-old added, "After watching last night when [Leviss] had finally had the breakdown — just as a human, because for me, it's a reality TV show — I feel like we're all, kind of, playing the same game, but when I watched that, I was like, 'Oh, we're maybe dealing with someone who maybe shouldn't be on this type of platform.'" Kent further told TMZ, “It can be rough and you have to know when you're on a show like this and you make bad decisions, these are the kind of things that happen, especially when you're throwing daggers at people while you're doing something like that.”

'You're gonna get the smoke'
Talking about the episode, the ‘Give Them Lala’ founder said, "You're gonna get the smoke. I don't know how other people feel about the last five minutes, but I did sit there and go, 'Oh—, she needs some real help,' and I'm hoping she got it." Ariana Madix, also admitted when asked if her stand on Leviss has changed amid her mental health issues, “Sure, yeah.”
She also responded on Leviss’ admission that during her affair with Tom Sandoval, the two had sex several times in their co-owned mansion, “I’m sure you can imagine. … Not great.” Madix, 37, said she isn’t sure if she'll ask for a rise while shooting along with Leviss and/or Sandoval again, and further added, “That’s not up to me.”
Leviss entered a mental health treatment facility in April and is still seeking help. A source claimed, “Upon the completion of filming the reunion, Raquel entered a voluntary inpatient behavioral health and trauma facility and remains there to date — 68 days and counting.”
'Becoming a better person'
It added, “She is a young woman that is and has been remorseful for her actions and has apologized repeatedly. Her treatment is helping her learn the basis of her decisions and grow from her mistakes with the hope of making better choices and becoming a better person. Raquel looks forward to sharing her story with the unfiltered truth when she comes out.”
'Vanderpump Rules' is presently available on Peacock for streaming.
