Lala Kent hinted that she and her ex-fiance, Randall Emmett, are “unable to co-parent” as she addressed their “intense” dynamic. The Vanderpump Rules star also shared that her friendship with his ex-wife Ambyr Childers started as “toxic” after Ambyr discovered their “sex tape.”
Years before Lala gave birth to her and Randall’s daughter, they began their relationship when he was allegedly still with Ambyr. Not long after giving birth, Lala broke up with Randall and accused him of cheating on her too.
On Harry Jowsey’s Boyfriend Material podcast, Lala shared that she and Randall are now “parallel parent[ing]” – as she explained what the term means.
“It means that you are unable to co-parent,” she said, via @vanderpodrecaps on Instagram. “Co-parenting is kind of like two separate households, but you try to keep consistency in both. Parallel is basically, ‘What you do over there is on you, and what I do over here is on me.’ And there’s no crossover, because you just can’t. … It’s high conflict.”
Lala shared that her relationship with Randall is “very intense.”
“We don’t speak on the phone. It’s very short and sweet through an app. Well, not always sweet,” she said. “I don’t want to say [I] give in, but I so don’t want to communicate with him in any f**king way, shape or form. [So] when he sends me messages, I’m just like, ‘Yeah, cool, sounds good.’ I’m desperate to not talk to you.”
Lala later addressed how her friendship with Randall’s ex Ambyr – with whom she now has a podcast – started out as toxic.
“How this friendship came to be was like built from something very f**king toxic,” she explained. “She was the wife, I was the mistress, she found a sex tape with me and her husband at the time. And that’s how everything was found out and how she decided to file for divorce.”
“What we built off of that … [became] the most beautiful connection that I think I have in my life, besides with my children and my family,” Lala added. “[Ambyr is] that person for me.”
“[What] what we [first] experienced, what I put [her] through a while back, you don’t come back from those things,” Lala said later. “That leaves you very wounded and scarred and changes you as a person.”
