When she isn’t busy talking about giving “killer bjs”, Lala Kent is busy listening to others trash talk her friend, Ariana Madix. In the latest episode of ‘Vanderpump Rules’, the reality star went out for dinner with her co-stars Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and her fiance, Randall Emmett. Jax, who is still upset over Tom Sandoval accusing him of not firing his homophobic pastor until Lisa Vanderpump intervened, took the opportunity to vent out his frustration.
 
Ariana, who identifies herself as bisexual, has recently come out of the closet, but Jax doesn’t seem to be supportive of it. Jax insults Ariana by saying that she needs to “figure out” her sexuality as it changes each day. Lala just sat there and listened to it all without even making an attempt to defend Ariana, considering just in the previous episode she proudly declared that she “chomped” on Ariana’s cookie.
 
Fans were disappointed with Lala for staying mum and not calling out Jax despite identifying herself as a strong supporter of LGBTQ rights.

A fan tweeted, “Wait lala is just going to sit there why jax talks about arianas sexually when she was the one that 'munched on her cookie'....she should have shut him down right then and there #pumprules.”

Another fan wrote, “There’s also two sides to you, Lala! The one that pretends to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community & the one that stays quiet like a church mouse when your “friend” Jax outright insults Ariana. #PumpRules #BravoTV.”
 
Fans were unhappy that she didn’t stand up for Ariana at least as a friend, considering Ariana had Lala’s back always when the other cast-members picked on her. A fan pointed, “Funny how Ariana was the only one who actually gave a shit about Lala for how many seasons and she can’t even speak up when Jax is trashing her sexuality #fake #PumpRules.”

Another fan shared, “So disappointed in Lala for not saying something to Jax. These all are more concerned with being in the wedding than standing up and doing the right thing. Then to trash Ariana, who was one of girls to finally befriend you when the rest were awful. #pumprules."

"Bad ass" LaLa sure in the hell does flip flop often depending on what friend she is around at the time! When Jax was spewing his hatred about Ariana's sexuality, LaLa should have jumped in & said something but of course she sat there saying nothing! Fake as f**k! #PumpRules,” commented a fan.
 
You can watch ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 8 every Tuesday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
