Lala admitted to The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Heather Dubrow on the Oct. 15 episode of the Untraditionally Lala podcast that she quoted one of the OC mom’s most iconic lines: “If everyone says you’re dead, it’s time to lie down,” which the then first-time Housewife delivered to Alexis Bellino on the
“I wanted them to air it so badly!” Lala said, explaining that she threw the quote to Tom “because he just kept going. I was like, ‘f–k it, you’re dead! We all agree!’”
The mother of two credited the Housewife’s eloquence, telling Heather, “Everything that comes out of your mouth is just like dripping in gold, and I just love everything you say. And you stay level-headed, but you’re so f–king interesting. Whereas, I think I’m only interesting if I’m ripping someone’s head off.”
Though the Bravolebs didn’t specify which reunion Lala quoted Heather, the dramatic VPR Season 11 reunion — which aired in May 2024 — marked the end of the cast’s on-screen antics.
Lala admitted on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in November 2024 that she and Tom Sandoval talk “ever so often,” though not much.
That said, Lala had Tom’s back during his memorable Season 3 participation on Peacock’s The Traitors. She said in a February 2025 Amazon Live stream that Tom couldn’t catch a break from the other contestants due to the cheating scandal that followed him, but still, “he did get the job done.”
Meanwhile, Lala and Scheana Shay have been embroiled in a public feud since the release of the latter’s memoir, and Lala was recently rumored to be in a relationship with Tom Schwartz (though the two are just friends). On
In a Sept. 26 interview with
Said Lala, “I was dealing with a lot of foreign emotions at that time. I wish I could have pinpointed how I was feeling in real time because then I feel like I could have had more productive conversations with people. And, instead, I just tried to push everything away, and it was an explosion.”
Earlier this year, Todd Chrisley received a pardon from the President. However, Patricia Altschul is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this Southern Charm star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a “felon” like Todd.
Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming. Their tiny tit for tat started after Todd’s release from prison. “During the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it’s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,” Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, “Well, there goes the neighborhood.”
Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.
So, recently clapping back via Decider, Pat quipped, “He’s very irrelevant. I said four words—there goes the neighborhood — and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.” Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, “We just don’t need any more felons in Charleston.”
Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.
And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward her in Charleston.
Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
