Lala Kent has accused Tom Sandoval of grooming Raquel Leviss in an explosive episode of Vanderpump Rules.
On last night’s episode of the reality show, the group spent time in Lake Tahoe on their first trip since Tom and Raquel’s affair was revealed.
Last year, it was unveiled that Raquel was having an affair with her best friend Ariana Madix’s husband Tom Sandoval.
During a boating outing on the lake, Lala decided to confront Tom about an interview he gave where he said she had “douchey energy” and “wasn’t real on the show.”
Tom defended himself to the cameras and said: “I did lie about a seven-month relationship. Lala lied for a few years of a six-year relationship,” alluding to Lala’s on-again/ off-again romance with Randall Emmett.
He continued: “We both lied. We’re both liars. I think in this instance we maybe just call this a wash.”
Lala disagreed and hit back: “You don’t get to talk to me about my past… I do get to talk about your past because you looked at me in my eyes and told me that I needed to be real when you were doing what you were doing. That is f**ked up.”
Tom retaliated: “It was six years of… all of us were really putting our f**king lives out there and you are not.”
Getting heated, Lala screamed: “You’re insane! I felt bad for you for five f**king seconds and now you’re proving to me that you are terrifying.”
“You will not allow me to evolve and yet this happened four months ago and I’m allowing you to evolve.”
“You isolate, you groom… I don’t know you? I think I know you real well, I don’t want to know you. You’re scary.”
Lala stormed off and told fellow castmate Ally Lewber: “I wanted one f**king thing to have happened, for him to look at me and say, ‘I’m sorry I did that. I f**ked up.’ And instead he wants to bring up my whole f**king past?
Scheana Shay defended Lala and explained to Tom why she was so upset, which resulted in him reconsidering his views.
Tom told the cameras: “I see how it is hypocritical for me to tell her to be real when I was hiding a seven-month affair.”
He then apologised to Lala and said: “I don’t want to be this way around you. I really appreciate you. It means a lot to me. These past couple days have really meant a lot to me. It’s changed a lot of what I think about you.”
