Lisa Vanderpump details ‘complicated’ moment that led to Ariana Madix, Lala Kent fallout at ‘Pump Rules’ reunion

Lisa Vanderpump is sharing her take on Ariana Madix and Lala Kent’s fallout after filming the “Vanderpump Rules” Season 11 reunion last month.

“It was very complicated,” the Bravo star, 63, exclusively tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast of the defining moment that led to their demise, while promoting her new Hulu reality series, “Vanderpump Villa.”

However, she emphasizes, “I wouldn’t say Ariana eviscerated Lala.”

Vanderpump’s assessment comes weeks after a viral tweet by fan account @thebravobabe_ claimed, “Ariana eviscerated Lala at the end of the reunion. Like friendship over type of situation. #PumpRules.”

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum confirms that an exchange took place but reiterates that Kent, 33, wasn’t verbally debilitated despite such speculation.

“I don’t think Lala ever wastes any time letting anybody know what she feels which is why we kind of like her,” Vanderpump says of the pregnant podcast host, who is expecting her second child via sperm donor.

“I’ve always been a big proponent of supporting Lala. I think … [she has] just been a great addition to that show.”

During a March 20 appearance on “The Talk,” Kent teased that she and Madix, 38, have indeed called it quits on their friendship.

“I think the exact tweet was, ‘Ariana eviscerated Lala at the reunion, and it was friendship ruining,’ and only one of those things is true –– I’ll let y’all decide,” she said.

The women have largely gotten along throughout Season 11, but some of Kent’s recent comments on “Pump Rules” and its official “After Show” have prompted fans to consider that their once-close bond has crumbled behind the scenes.

Notably, Kent has extended grace to Madix’s ex Tom Sandoval, who infamously hid a months-long affair — dubbed “Scandoval” by fans — with castmate Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

In the wake of the scandal, Sandoval, 41, expressed that he had suicidal ideation, a revelation that hit close to home for Vanderpump as her brother, Mark Vanderpump, took his own life in 2018.

Sandoval’s mental health struggles were discussed at the reunion, Lisa shares with “Virtual Reali-Tea,” suggesting that she and Kent lent support to him whereas Madix did not.

“When we jumped into that, there was a lot of heightened feelings. It was very difficult for me and I talk very honestly about the whole suicide of my brother,” she recounts.

“I talked about how I’ve been involved in suicide prevention and then my brother committed suicide and then Tom actually saying he had suicidal ideation because he felt the whole world was against him, which it was.”

Although Kent and Madix don’t currently seem to be on speaking terms, Lisa doesn’t believe their now-dismantled relationship is beyond repair.

“Have you seen how those dynamics change? They change quicker than most people change their underwear. You just think, ‘I’ve got this now. That’s never going to happen. A line’s in the sand’ — and then they jump over it,” she says of the former SURvers.

“This group is very outspoken but also pretty forgiving if you think [about] what we’ve been through.”

Now, Lisa is overseeing an entire new group of characters on Hulu’s “Vanderpump Villa” — an extension of the Vanderpump universe that follows staffers at her new business venture, Chateau Rosabelle, located in the French countryside.

“‘Vanderpump Villa’ is fun,” raves the entrepreneur, who treats patrons to bespoke hospitality experiences on the show. “It’s immersive, it’s escapism, it’s very pretty, it’s naughty. It’s a different flavor but I think you’re going to like it.”

The first three episodes of “Vanderpump Villa” premiered April 1 on Hulu; new episodes drop weekly every Monday.
