Lala Kent is not afraid to respond to criticism she receives online, especially when it comes to her sharing a proud beauty moment. 

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Back in May, the Vanderpump Rules cast member popped onto her Instagram Stories to share a video of her “bruised” lips, telling her followers not to comment on the recent “touch up,” according to Page Six

“I don’t need anyone saying, ‘Stop touching your face’ and ‘You look so much better in Season 4,’” Lala said at the time. “Like, didn’t we all look so much better when we were like 23 [and] 24? We was all hitting different.” 

She continued by telling the commenters not to do any cosmetic work themselves if they have a “problem” with her looks. “Don’t worry who touches mine, because what my face is poked with does not affect you whatsoever,” she stated. “I don’t care what your face looks like. Don’t care about what mine looks like.”

More recently, Lala again took to her Instagram Stories to fire back at online commenters, this time regarding a recent few photos she shared on her feed.

On July 9, the California mom shared a carousel of photos on Instagram with the caption “Mom’s turn.” In the first photo, Lala’s daughter, Ocean, and Scheana Shay’s daughter, Summer Moon, are looking through a backyard fence presumably at either Lala’s or Scheana’s home in Palm Springs, California. 

In the next shot, Lala poses on the golf course in a cheeky black swimsuit, putting her backside on display as she looks off to the side.

Some Bravolebrities took to the comments, including Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy, who wrote “Milf $$.” And Lala’s Vanderpump Rules castmate Katie Maloney threw in some crying-laughing emojis, writing, “[A]lso you’re so f-cking hot!!!” 

Other social media users, however, criticized the Give Them Lala Beauty founder for the post, prompting her to post a response on her Instagram Stories.

“I’m so over the mom shaming from some of you women. I’m a parent, work full time, rarely have one moment for just me, and for a second on the 4th of July I felt hot and wanted a picture,” she began the Story, which also shared the original post. “Anything but praise is unwelcome. If you have anything negative to say go f-ck yourself. Leave me alone.” 

Lala continued her statement by also giving some clarification about the concept behind the two photos. “For the record, the kids weren’t watching me take this picture. And even if they were, we all have butts. Take time to love on yours.”
