Heavy/NBCUniversal/Getty Lala Kent and the cast of "Vanderpump Rules" season 11.
“Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent is sharing her reasoning behind unfollowing her castmates, Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix on Instagram.
While filming an April 11 Amazon Live, Kent confirmed that she stopped following Maloney and Madix on the social media platform. She stated that she recently “filmed something really fun,” where she “met a lot of people,” who she “wanted to follow” on Instagram. The mother of one explained that she likes having a specific number in her following list.
“The Virgo in me doesn’t like when my numbers on Instagram don’t add up and align. So, I have 2.4 [million followers], and then it was, like, following 227,” said Kent.
She stated that when she “went in to see who [she] could unfollow,” she decided Maloney and Madix would be the correct choices.
“They were the two that I seemed to not be that interested in following any longer … Maybe when I go up to 2.5 or 2.6 [million], we can bring ’em back,” said Kent.
Kent also stated that it was “nice” that Maloney and Madix decided to remain her Instagram followers.
“My life is interesting, so why would they unfollow? Just kidding. Just kidding. I’m a petty one today,” quipped Kent.

According to the “Give Them Lala” author, she caught some of her castmates being dishonest at the season 11 reunion.
“This round and this stage in the game, I was like, ‘I feel so grossed out.’ Where at the reunion, people looking dead at me in the eyes, being like ‘That never happened.’ And I’m like, ‘What?’” said Kent.
The reality television star said she was “frustrated” by the situation. She also stated that while the reunion made her emotional, she “felt great afterwards.”
“I left with feeling peaceful. I knew that I was as honest as I could have been. Even though it may have not hit the way I may have liked it to. It was like I did not have one thing to hide,” said Kent.
