Lala Kent is standing up for Lisa Rinna on her podcast, Give Them Lala, expressing her admiration despite Rinna’s controversial reputation among Bravo fans. Kent revealed she’s “obsessed with her” and criticized Bravo community members for holding onto grudges against her.
Lala Kent’s Strong Defense of Lisa Rinna
Lala Kent has taken to her podcast to support Lisa Rinna, urging fans to rethink their opinions. She believes that many in the Bravo community unfairly hold grudges against Rinna. “A lot of people in the Bravo community come for her a lot — still, to this day. Wild. I’m like, ‘Y’all hold a grudge. You gotta let it go. You don’t know this woman,’” Kent said.
Understanding the Controversy
Kent expressed sympathy for Rinna, especially after facing her own controversies on Vanderpump Rules. She defended herself against criticism related to her reaction to Ariana Madix’s rise to fame and her refusal to film with her cheating ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval.
“I’ve been on the side where people may not dig me, but there are plenty who do,” Kent explained, comparing her experiences to Rinna’s. She addressed the comparison to Rinna, viewing it as a compliment and embracing her assertive persona on reality TV.
Embracing Reality TV Drama
Kent highlighted the unfairness of the backlash she received for simply asking questions about someone who had been cheated on. “Now I’m on the side of it where it’s not like I went out and gave some absurd political view. It’s not like you saw me doing something horrific in an elevator. I literally asked questions for someone who got cheated on. Period. And you would think that I murdered a litter of puppies,” she expressed.
A Call for Reconsideration
Kent concluded her podcast segment by encouraging fans to reconsider their judgments of both Rinna and herself. She urged them to appreciate the entertainment value they bring to the shows. By standing up for Rinna, Kent hopes to show that everyone deserves a second chance and that sometimes, things are not as they seem on reality TV.
