“Vanderpump Rules” star Katie Maloney opened up about having issues with her castmate, Lala Kent while filming the Bravo show’s upcoming 11th season.
While recording the January 3 episode of “Bachelor” star Nick Viall’s podcast, “The Viall Files,” Maloney said she and Kent were at odds during the production of “Vanderpump Rules” season 11.
“Lala’s probably the one person I had the most — I don’t want to say drama — but, like, we definitely had a tougher time this season. I think — not that our friendship was strained but there was a bit of a strain or there was something kind of, like, under the surface there that was coming out a bit. We definitely had a short fuse with one another,” said Maloney.

“I have never experienced someone who gets cheated on and then suddenly she becomes a god,” said Kent in the “Vanderpump Rules” trailer.
Maloney stated that she did not believe Kent made her declaration out of jealousy.
“I think it was more of a objectively speaking. More than it was just coming from a place of being jealous or angry,” said Maloney to Viall.

“Have we had our ups and downs? Absolutely. But to see my friend thrive after such heartbreak, I am so happy for her. And I am so proud of her,” continued Kent.
