Lala Kent clapped back at the accusation she has a “double standard” with Tom Sandoval, and hinted at why her situation with ex Randall Emmett is different. Meanwhile, the mother-of-two also addressed her dating life.
On the last season of Vanderpump Rules, Lala spoke to Sandoval after his affair with Rachel Leviss – despite Lala’s friendship with Ariana Madix. Fans then slammed Lala, who (after her own past breakup with Randall) declared that she won’t be friends with anyone who associates with Randall, the father of Lala’s oldest daughter Ocean. Specifically she slammed
On her Untraditionally Lala podcast, Lala clapped back at a fan questioning what Lala would do if someone in her friend group started being friends with her ex today.
“People are like, ‘You had a conversation with Tom Sandoval, and why can you do that but someone can’t be friends with your ex?’” said Lala. “My ex is a very specific person. If you f**k with him, you’re f**king dirty and I don’t want you in my life.”
“People can say like, ‘Well you have a double standard,’” Lala went on. “No, I don’t. And if you knew what I knew, you too would not want anyone around him.”
Around the same time on Casual Chaos, Lala addressed her dating life.
“I like sex. I think sex is very fun,” she shared, via News Week. “I enjoy that they leave after because I set that boundary. I give them an option, you can leave tonight or you have to be gone before 7 am because that’s when my daughter [Sosa] wakes up.”
Lala shared that men don’t come over when her other daughter Ocean is home. “That’s the boundary that I set and it has been awesome,” she explained.
According to Lala, she may someday find the “right guy,” but she has an “independent, happy, peaceful life,” and she wants it to stay that way. Though she
“So, why would I go do something that I don’t want to do?” she asked. “I don’t want to get married and it’s very hard when I meet someone … who’s around my age, I really have to let them know in a subtle way that I’m not looking for anything … And if you’re looking to get married and have children one day, just know this is just for fun, I’m not going to be able to give you those things.”
Lala also said she only has girls dinners on weekends when Ocean is with her dad.
For a defense that’s already seemed like its on its heels just 3 games into the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens just found out things can somehow get even worse.
NFL All-Pro defensive tackle and 2-time Pro Bowler Nnamdi Madubuike was put on injured reserve on September 27 with a neck injury — just one day ahead of a massive AFC showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
It means Madubuike will miss at least the next 4 games and won’t be able to come back until at least Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins.
The Ravens and Chiefs are both in an unusual place headed into the Week 4 game, with both AFC powers sitting at 1-2.
“We have placed Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington on injured reserve,” the Ravens wrote on their official X account. “We have signed DE Brent Urban and TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden to the 53-man roster. We have also elevated DT C.J. Okoye and NT Josh Tupou from the practice squad for tomorrow’s game.”
Madubuike, 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds, is also one of the NFL’s highest paid players at his position after he signed a 4-year, $98 million contract extension in March 2024.
“The Ravens placed DT Nnamdi Madubuike on IR,” NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo wrote on his official X account on September 27. “He’ll miss at least four games. A huge loss for Baltimore’s defense.”
Not having Madubuike robs the Ravens of having one of the NFL’s elite defensive talents at every level — linebacker Roquan Smith and safety Kyle Hamilton are also NFL All-Pros.
Madubuike also missed last week’s loss to the Detroit Lions.
“It has been a huge loss for a struggling Ravens defense that ranks last in the NFL for the first time since Week 16 of 2021,” ESPN’s Jamison Hensley wrote on September 24, before Madubuike was placed on IR. “The 27-year-old Madubuike, the Ravens’ best defensive lineman who has made the Pro Bowl the past two seasons, has 21.5 sacks since the start of the 2023 season — the most by any defensive tackle in the league. Without Madubuike, the Ravens allowed 207 yards rushing between the tackles — the most they’ve allowed in a game since ESPN began tracking the stat in 2006 — in Monday’s 38-30 loss to the Detroit Lions. Baltimore also didn’t record a sack in a game for the first time in four years.”
The Ravens drafted Madubuike in the third round (No. 74 overall) of the 2020 NFL draft after he earned All-SEC honors at Texas A&M in 2019.
His rookie year was the only time he’s dealt with injury issues when he missed 6 games due to a knee injury and the pandemic.
Madubuike became a full time starter in his second season in 2021 and has played in every game each of the last 3 seasons, including a breakout season in 2023 with career highs in tackles (56), sacks (13.0), TFL (12) and a whopping 33 QB hits.
“I’m concerned about Nnamdi Madubuike‘s neck injury,” Mills RX wrote on its official X account on September 20. “It sounds more serious than initially thought. I think Nnamdi has sprained (or possibly tore) one of the ligaments in the cervical vertebrae. He’s still undergoing evaluation and imaging now. If a ligament is even partially torn, Madubuike will miss an extended period of time.”
