Lala Kent Says Friendship With Katie Maloney Is Over After Reunion "Betrayal"

Kent says the breach forced sobriety work that led her to accept the friendship is over.

Overview

  • On her An Unlikely Affair podcast, Kent called the split her hardest friendship loss and said she betrayed Maloney by raising a private issue at the Season 11 reunion.
  • She said she worked with her sobriety sponsor to process anger and sadness, who warned that looping on the feud could put her recovery at risk.
  • Kent said she sent a long apology text about how things went down and received no reply, adding she is content with that silence.
  • She said she misses the bond but does not expect reconciliation, noting both have moved on and she accepts her role in what happened.
  • Maloney previously said the rift began during a Season 11 cast trip and worsened at the reunion, while some outlets link the dispute to private comments about Ariana Madix and a sandwich shop in coverage framed as interpretation rather than confirmed fact.
