Where Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent and Katie Maloney Stand

As a spectator of the ever-changing landscape of celebrity feuds, I find myself in awe of the complexities and nuances that surround these public spats. Each individual involved brings their unique experiences, backgrounds, and personalities to the table, which shapes the way they respond and react to one another.

Take, for instance, Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s tumultuous relationship. Their feud began in 2009 during the MTV Video Music Awards, but it wasn’t until years later that their friendship blossomed and then subsequently crumbled once again after the release of Kanye’s song “Famous.” The experiences they have had in the spotlight, as well as their different approaches to handling high-profile conflicts, have undoubtedly contributed to the ebb and flow of their relationship.

Similarly, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s feud is a prime example of how social media can fuel and intensify these disputes. The altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party was only the tip of the iceberg, with both artists taking to Twitter to air their grievances against one another. However, it is important to remember that beneath the surface lies a shared history of music and collaboration, which makes this feud all the more intriguing.

In the case of Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez’s so-called “feud,” I can’t help but chuckle at the longevity of their disagreement. Over 15 years have passed since Mariah was asked her opinion on Jennifer during an interview, and yet the two remain estranged. It serves as a reminder that some feuds are truly timeless.

At the end of the day, these celebrity feuds offer a fascinating glimpse into the human psyche, reminding us that even those who live in the public eye are not immune to the complexities and emotions that come with interpersonal relationships. It’s a reminder that we’re all just trying to navigate our own lives, one day at a time, whether we’re under the spotlight or not. And on a lighter note, perhaps one day Mariah and Jennifer will find themselves bumping into each other at a grocery store, exchanging pleasantries, and realizing they were both just misinformed about the other all along!

Lala Kent and Katie Maloney‘s friendship appears to be as over as 2024.

The Vanderpump Rules alum ended the year by SUR-ving the tea on her rift with her longtime costar.

On the December 31st episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Lala expressed, “She was my everything,” referring to Katie. She further clarified, “Katie and I hold contrasting perspectives regarding the events that transpired and the breakdown of our friendship.

Lala isn’t, however, ruling out the possibility of reconciling their friendship.

As someone who has navigated the complexities of relationships and friendships throughout my years, I understand the uncertainty that comes with parting ways with someone you care about deeply. “We may one day find ourselves rebuilding what we had, or our paths may never cross again,” I said, acknowledging the unpredictability of life. But regardless of where our lives take us, I hope and wish her nothing but happiness. She deserves to live a fulfilling life, free from worry and strife.

Lala revealed that she hasn’t spoken with Katie since the May 2024 finale of “Vanderpump Rules” Season 11, which was their last appearance on the show before it was rebooted, along with other long-term cast members.

Back in August, Lala explained how she felt about the status of their friendship.

Katie and I used to be extremely close, she mentioned on her podcast, Give Them Lala. Nowadays, I don’t believe we share any common interests, and that’s fine. I can’t even imagine what we would discuss. We’re simply in such distinct life stages, and I feel our friendship was destined to be where it is right now and has come to an end for the time being.

Weeks before the reunion aired, she unfollowed Katie on Instagram.

In an episode of Give Them Lala in June, Lala expressed that she felt extremely criticized during this season of Vanderpump Rules. She’s accustomed to not always being the favorite, but the intense level of negativity directed at her this season, which wasn’t even related to what was portrayed on TV, was overwhelming and genuinely hurt her feelings.

During the filming of season 11, the Bravo star – who was expecting her second daughter at the time – stated, “If I must eliminate social media and disconnect from a few people on Instagram for my well-being, particularly while pregnant, then that is the path I’ll choose.

Katie had said she found out from another Instagram post that Lala had unfollowed her.

Approximately a year ago, Lala and I encountered some difficulties that we managed to resolve. However, during the latest season of the show, it seemed as though we had disagreements on numerous topics, and I felt like our perspectives weren’t aligning. She mentioned this in an interview with Us Weekly last April.

Look back at more celebrity feuds over the years…

In early 2024, amidst speculation about a rift between him and Tan (placed centrally), Bobby (depicted second from the left) clarified the situation, having parted ways with the show Queer Eye two months prior after an impressive eight-season run.

As an ardent admirer, I’m compelled to share this message: “I feel it’s important for everyone to understand that Tan and I are navigating through a challenge, but we’re resilient and will overcome. There was a private matter that unfolded, and it’s separate from our professional lives on the show. It’s been simmering for some time now – just to clarify, it wasn’t a romantic entanglement.

In March 2024, Tan addressed accusations that he was advocating for his friend Jeremiah Brent to take over from Bobby on the show “Queer Eye.

He mentioned on Instagram that Netflix and the production companies conducted a thorough casting process. He didn’t recommend his friend for the role, as they had chosen the most suitable candidate for it. However, he clarified that he didn’t sabotage someone else’s chances to secure the job for his friend.

In a December 2023 episode of her podcast “Let’s Be Clear”, Holly Marie Combs, who used to star with Shannen on Charmed, claimed that Alyssa had given an ultimatum to a producer of the show, demanding that they choose between herself and Shannen. This allegedly resulted in Shannen leaving the show in 2001.

In February 2024, Alyssa posted on Instagram, “I didn’t possess the authority to terminate anyone’s employment,” and she also commented that, due to the significant passage of time, any recounting of these events by anyone could be considered a reinterpretation or distortion of history.

The following day, during a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando, Shannen stated, “I’m confident that the truth I shared isn’t being rewritten or distorted.

In September 2023, while engaging in a game titled “Stir the Pot” on TopMob News with her daughter Kelly Osbourne, Sharon expressed that Kelly’s co-star from That ’70s Show was the most impolite celebrity she had encountered. She labeled him as “very rude,” using the phrase “rude, rude, rude, rude” and a “wretched little thing.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Approximately five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton appeared on “The Talk” in 2014, he showed an “attitude” following her mistake in pronouncing his name.

She remembered him asking, “‘Who are you? What’s your background in this field?'” She responded, “Son, don’t test me, because I’ll make short work of you. So I simply said, ‘You’ve got no idea who you’re messing with, kid.’

In August of 2022, Cassadee and Maren had a heated exchange with Brittany, who is married to country musician Jason Aldean, following Brittany’s Instagram post on August 23rd. The post showcased Brittany applying makeup and included the caption, “I’m truly grateful to my parents for not altering my gender during my tomboy phase. I adore this feminine lifestyle.

Back in 2022, during a TikTok challenge, I, as a die-hard fan, found myself utterly taken aback when the fabulous JoJo Siwa referred to Candace Cameron Bure as the rudest celebrity. It seemed that a red carpet encounter between them didn’t go as planned, with Bure declining to snap a photo with Siwa. However, in a swift turn of events, the beloved alumna of Full House expressed her remorse: “I shattered your young spirit when I wouldn’t take a picture with you on the red carpet. I’m so sorry, JoJo. I broke your heart and made myself feel awful too.

Initially, they resolved their differences. However, several months passed, and Candace was queried about whether she anticipates the Great American Family network, for which she is the chief creative officer, to portray same-sex couples as main characters in holiday films. She responded negatively, stating, “I believe that Great American Family will uphold traditional marriage at its core.

In a post on Instagram last year, JoJo expressed that the actress’ remark was both disrespectful and painful towards an entire group of individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.

In June 2021, Courtney Love claimed that Olivia Rodrigo had used her band Hole’s album cover design without acknowledging the source for a promotional photo. Olivia replied, “I adore you and am deeply influenced by your work.” Courtney then countered, “Olivia, feel free to use it! My preferred florist is located in Notting Hill, London. Shoot me a message for details! I’m eager to read your card [wink emoji].

During an episode on “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was questioned about his strained relationship with the “Forrest Gump” star during the filming of the 1989 movie “Turner & Hooch”.

For 13 days, I had been overseeing the production of that movie. Then, suddenly, I was summoned to Jeff Katzenberg’s office. He asked me, “Have you got everything you need? Go home,” he told me.

Winkler appeared to be quite friendly towards Hanks’ canine costar. He even stated, “We got along wonderfully, just wonderful!” and added, “I adore that dog.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Lovers of “The Hills” might recall the famous quote, spoken by Lauren during the season three opener. This feud between them escalated when Heidi started dating her current spouse, Spencer Pratt, and reached its zenith when Lauren alleged that Heidi and Spencer had spread a rumor about her making a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

The long-standing dispute between Tyrese and Dwayne flared up again when Tyrese criticized Dwayne on Instagram after the release date for Fast and Furious 9 was moved to April 2020. On the same day, it was revealed that a Fast and Furious spinoff featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham would premiere in 2019. A month later, Tyrese stated he might quit Fast 9 if Dwayne was involved in the film.

Later on, Tyrese publicly discussed the ongoing disagreement during an appearance on “The Red Pill” podcast, stating to Van Lathan, “Up until now, I haven’t had a chat with The Rock, but we will talk at some point.” He mentioned that he did engage in a conversation with the producer associated with The Rock, but not the actor himself.

Tyrese admitted that he took on the role of a messenger for several individuals linked to the franchise, but unfortunately, he was the only one who openly expressed those sentiments, a mistake he acknowledges as his own. He stated, “It’s unprofessional, it’s not cool.

No more bad blood here.

For quite some time, Taylor and Katy found themselves at odds, with Taylor’s song “Bad Blood” seemingly reflecting this longstanding conflict. The source of the dispute, believed to stem from disagreements over a backup dancer and clashing tour schedules, finally seemed to be resolved when Perry extended an olive branch – quite literally – to Taylor before her Reputation Tour commenced.

As a seasoned collector of life’s little miracles, I can’t help but feel awestruck when I stumble upon something as extraordinary as an actual olive branch. Just today, in the midst of my busy schedule, I found myself in my dressing room, and there it was – a genuine olive branch, a symbol of peace and unity that resonates deeply with my personal journey and aspirations. This find means so much to me because it serves as a reminder that amidst the chaos and challenges of life, moments of beauty and tranquility can still be found. It’s these fleeting glimpses of serenity that keep me going, inspiring me to continue my pursuit of harmony in both my personal and professional life.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For many years, it was rumored that costars Kim and Sarah Jessica Parker from the show “Sex and the City” had avoided a feud. However, these rumors resurfaced when Kim opted out of appearing in a third film and made some remarks about her co-star that caused people to raise their eyebrows.

Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s response when Kim Cattrall stated they were only colleagues, not friends, during an episode of Watch What Happens Live, dated September 2017.

Reflecting on our recent conversation, I must admit, I’m utterly disheartened. We had discussed this matter extensively, and it left me feeling quite troubled. This isn’t how I remember our shared experiences, and it has been unsettling for me.

She expressed, “It’s unfortunate yet somehow…I can’t quite find the words, but I believe it’s the shared unique experience that binds us. Though it was a professional journey, it transcended into personal territory due to the extensive time we invested. So I’m praying that this prolonged bond outweighs any more recent discussions.” She added, “Sharing so much time doing something extraordinary together is truly a rare privilege.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

 

The renowned musicians have been involved in a long-standing disagreement since 2004. At the Q Awards where Elton received the Classic Songwriter Award that year, he expressed his dissent to the crowd, stating: “Madonna being hailed as the best live performer? I strongly disagree! When has miming on stage been considered live performance? Apologies for the language, but I believe anyone who mimes in public while charging audiences up to 75 pounds should be criticized.

In 2008, the actress who used to play the lead role in Grey’s Anatomy ignited a disagreement with the show’s creator by choosing not to be considered for Emmy Awards. She explained her decision by saying that she didn’t feel she had been given scripts worthy of an award nomination.

Later on, Shonda discussed Katherine’s choice in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ in 2012. She stated, “On one hand, it hurt and on the other, I wasn’t entirely shocked. When people reveal their true selves, take them at their word. That’s something I hold onto frequently, and it has been beneficial for me.”

During the New York Fashion Week, a worldwide-noted brawl took place between Nicki and Cardi at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. A while later, Cardi revealed what led to the argument with Nicki.

Cardi mentioned that for some time, she has been receiving numerous criticisms or attacks from someone,” Cardi said in W magazine’s Art Issue. “We had a conversation twice before, and we reached an agreement. However, she continued the hostility towards me.

As an ardent admirer, let me share my perspective on what ignited the flame in their exchange. It was when I noticed – or so it seemed – that Nicki gave a fleeting thumbs-up to a tweet, then took it back, about my idol Cardi’s parenting prowess. Now, Nicki has refuted this claim, but for me, it felt like the tinder that fanned the flames of their feud.

Cardi B shared, “I had the opportunity to earn millions from my Bruno Mars tour, but I chose to stay with my daughter instead. And for those who might question that decision, I am a fantastic mother. Not everyone may understand this, as they don’t have children. People often argue that it wasn’t the right moment or place to discuss this, but I wouldn’t want to run into another artist in the grocery store or on the street.

The conflict between Kanye and Taylor Swift originally arose in 2009 during her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech, where Kanye (the rapper known for “Stronger”) interrupted her. Although they reconciled later and even developed friendship, their relationship soured again following the release of his song “Famous,” which mentions Taylor Swift.

“I don’t know her.”

For quite some time now, approximately 15 years or so, I’ve found myself in the midst of a friendly yet persistent conversation with two extraordinary women – Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. This dialogue, often referred to as a feud, kicked off when Mariah, the undisputed Queen of Christmas, was asked for her thoughts on various singers during an interview. When prompted about Jennifer, she graciously responded, “I’m not familiar with her.
