Lala's admission about her and Katie's friendship came when she was reflecting on their heated discussion over Scheana Shay potentially reconciling with Tom Sandoval after his split from Ariana Madix

"Katie has been like my ride or die for many years and we've been so in sync, but how we used to fit into each other's lives is different," Lala explained in a confessional. "Now, I'm trying to get soft and heal from trauma because I don't want to end up a miserable, bitter bitch, and she's happy on her war path."

"There was just never resolution," she continued. "It was one thing after the other that we just could not quite conquer and see eye to eye. As the season goes on though, you’ll see that we soften up with each other.”
