Lala Kent has cleared the air about speculation her friendship with Ariana Madix during an interview at BravoCon.
Kent, 33, appeared at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Sunday, where she made it clear that there is no rift in her friendship with Madix, 38.
‘Ariana and I are good. I was going through a lot when Scandoval happened, so they were running very parralel,’ Kent confirmed, referring to Madix’s ex Tom Sandoval cheating on her with co-star Rachel Leviss, 29.
‘So this next season, I really have to sit with what I’ve been through and really make a choice,’ Kent added.
‘Where do we want to end up? Because we can keep going down this road and end up in a hole and not come out of it,’ Kent said.

She added, ‘I love Ariana dearly, I will always be loyal to her, but when I’m watching something in front of me, I feel like I’m pretty logical, and I’ve got to call it like I see it. That doesn’t mean that I’m not gonna ride hard for you.’
Kent was also asked about how, during the BravoCon panel, she shut down fans who were booing Sandoval.
‘Yeah, well I was over it, and that’s coming from someone who was like all in, right?’ Kent added.
‘But I was like, OK, time has passed, you know, we’ve really got to take a 30,000-foot view on this and go, “It was really really messed up, but we gotta move on,’ Kent said.
‘Like the question he was asked and telling him to fall off the Earth, I was just like, with everything going on in the world, I can think of a lot of people who need to fall off the Earth, Tom Sandoval ain’t one of them,’ Kent said.
She added that she, ‘just felt the need to shut it down, and by the way, I couldn’t hear anything so your booing is now affecting me and now I’m getting pissed off.’
