You donāt know what you got until itās gone. Is there a better sentiment to capture how we are all feeling aboutĀ Vanderpump Rules? The recently announced filming and cast overhaul (following several problematic behaviors) didnāt spark the joy Bravo had probably hoped for. Fans recently took to Bravoās Instagram in protest of some teasers. Meanwhile, the remaining cast has quite literally reduced themselves to tooth-brush-in-buttholeĀ gimmicks. How did we get here?
When it first aired, VPRĀ was a hit immediately. The show picked up steam around the eraĀ Lala Kent joined the cast and wildly mixed things up. Lauren from Utah was flirting withĀ Jax Taylor back then. Now sheās having childrenĀ with Randall EmmettĀ and writing memoirs. Itās been a whirlwind.
Lalaās recently released memoir,Ā Give Them Lala, is apparently revealing all kinds of secretsĀ from the early days of Pump Rules.Ā Us WeeklyĀ shared a few excerpts where Lala discusses her entry onto the show as a young hostess at SUR. Fans of the show havenāt forgotten the slut-shamey insinuations made byĀ Stassi Schroeder,Ā Kristen Doute,Ā andĀ Katie Maloney-SchwartzĀ in Lalaās direction back in those days. Long before the the BJs for PJs movement theyāve come to know and love.
LalaĀ recounted the āhigh-fashion modeling jobā she lied toĀ Lisa Vanderpump about. The lieĀ Scheana ShayĀ andĀ Katie caught her in during season 4.Ā Ā She wrote, āRight before joiningĀ Vanderpump, a rich, super-famous actor who shall remain unnamed had invited me alongside a bunch of other hot chicks to vacation on his yacht in Italy.ā Any guesses who it could be? āScheana really tried to give me a tough time, which must have been a lot of work for her, because she can be very sweet, and when she tries to bully people, itās uncomfortable to watch,ā Lala added.

Lala admitted that the āthe meanerā her co-stars/co-workers became, the āwilderā she would act. She revealed that mindset was her motivation for going topless during the cast trip to Hawaii. Who didnāt loveĀ Katieās face during that scene, though?Ā Lala wrote, āStassi, Kristen, and Katie became the worst mean-girl trio ever, and it was three against one at all times.ā
Lala noted that she was āhammeredā throughout her whole first season. The now sober Lala also wrote, āThank the Lord for alcohol, the only thing that helped me through each day with those girls.ā
