Lala Kent Defends Her "Fighting Style" After That Heated Episode of Vanderpump Rules

The rocky relationship between Lala Kent and Raquel Leviss took plenty of turns recently on Vanderpump Rules. From an argument at Jax Taylor’s birthday party to patching things up over lattes to a heated showdown at Katie Maloney-Schwartz's wine night, the two have certainly been through a lot. Now, Lala’s opening up about the situation, and it seems like their friendship is on the mend. 

On April 1, Lala shared a photo in which she’s meticulously filling in a coloring book, with a caption addressing the ordeal with Raquel. “I have never and will never be someone who cares what people think of me when it comes to what they see on Vanderpump Rules,” she wrote. “To me, everything comes with the territory. We pop off, we act out, it is what it is. My fighting style has been this way for quite some time.” 

She went on to explain why she refuses to be ashamed for her actions. 

“I’ll own when I’m wrong or when I’ve gone too far, but to live in shame, that’s not happening. Life is too short. I love being on Vanderpump Rules, I love the process of filming, I love how everyone’s outlook is different, I love when people go toes, and I love when people make-up even more,” said Lala. “At the end of the day, this is reality TV and I want to thank y’all so much for watching. I love you, even if you don’t love me.” 

In a separate post shared before the episode aired, Lala actually did apologize to Raquel, and even gave her props for something she said during the fight. 

“Raquel, I’m sorry I’ve been an asshole. 'If we can’t all agree Lala’s a bully, we can all agree she’s a bitch.’ This had me rolling. Nice work on that bite,” Lala wrote. “It’s onward and upward from here, I promise.” 

It looks like Raquel accepted the apology, and commented “onward and upward from here” on the post.
