Lala Kent and James Kennedy reconciled their friendship last month as filming began on Vanderpump Rules season eight but according to a new report, they’ve already suffered yet another falling out.
After years of ups and downs, a source claims Lala and James’ short-lived reunion came to an abrupt end days ago after the DJ took aim at Lala’s fiancé, Randall Emmett, with a post on Instagram.
“James invited Lala to work on music with him and she happily obliged, however, she was quickly offended when James took a dig, whether it was in good fun or not, at Randall. That’s just crossing the line for her and she’s very protective,” an insider explained to Hollywood Life on June 4.
Over the weekend, both Lala and James shared photos of their reunion on Instagram. A screenshot is below.
However, after James took aim at Randall by poking fun at his recent feud with 50 Cent, Lala deleted the photo she had posted. A short time later, James followed suit and deleted the photo he shared.
As the outlet revealed, Lala and James’ latest feud was sparked after James captioned a photo on Instagram by saying, “I want my money by Monday,” which referenced 50 Cent’s demands of Randall. While James has since deleted his post, the Good Tea Time blog was able to capture a screenshot of it. That post is below.
“When James and Lala made up, James told everyone it was his doing. Everyone is completely thrown off at how quickly that make-up lasted,” the insider continued. “Lala is likely done forever with their friendship ever again.”
While some of the cast was caught off-guard by Lala and James’ falling out, Katie Maloney reportedly wasn’t surprised at all and expected it wouldn’t be long before James once again burned Lala.
“Katie loves Lala but she couldn’t understand why she would try and make amends after everything he’s done to her and the rest of the group,” the source explained.
“Katie truly believes James is just a clout chaser and is doing anything he can to work his way into being friends with anyone just to stay on the show,” the insider added. “Katie isn’t convinced that James really wants to work at SUR, she thinks he’s doing it to stay in Lisa’s good graces and to keep a storyline going. She feels bad for Lala that she got hurt again by James and hopes this was the final straw for their friendship.”
Vanderpump Rules season eight is currently in production and expected to air on Bravo TV sometime later this year.
