Lala Kent says Vanderpump Rules is going to be “a different show” when the series returns from its long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“So many people have asked what can we expect this season and this is the first year that I can say I have no idea,” she told Page Six.
“A lot of time has passed, cast members who were key players that are no longer on the show and there has been a lot of things that have said and happened in the two-year period and now we’re getting together where we have to talk about these things.”
She also joked: “I hope I”m still good at my job!”
“I don’t know what to expect, there are mommies now, babies in the mix,” Kent added. “I will say that it’s going to be a different show but I think it’s going to be extremely entertaining.”
In June 2020, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute were fired by Bravo for accusing former co-star Faith Stowers of being a woman wanted by the police with Schroeder admitting she called the authorities on Stowers. Schroeder and Doute have both issued public apologies for their past racially insensitive actions towards Stowers.
Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni were also fired along with Schroeder and Doute after their old racist and homophobic tweets resurfaced last winter. On Tuesday, June 9, Bravo and production company, Evolution Media announced the news on social media.
The statement read as, “Bravo and Evolution Media confirmed today that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens, and Brett Caprioni will not be returning to Vanderpump Rules.”
It was reported that Stassi’s now-husband, Beau Clark, was leaving the Bravo hit reality series following Schroeder’s firing.
Meanwhile, Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor announced in December 2020 that they were leaving the reality series. Last month, last season's newcomer, Dayna Kathan, confirmed that she was not returning to the series.
