Lala Kent is starting to question Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss‘ relationship.
Although their months-long affair remains unconfirmed on the latest episodes of Vanderpump Rules, a sneak peek at the May 3 episode features Lala admitting that the idea of a romance between Sandoval and Raquel is “not that far-fetched.”
While sitting down with Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly to discuss the events of a prior outing, during which Sandoval yelled at Katie for failing to take accountability for her split from Tom Schwartz and complained that she spread a rumor about him and Ariana Madix being in an open relationship, Katie looked back on the tense moment.
“He was so hellbent on believing that I’m spreading this rumor about him and Ariana having an open relationship when I never said that,” Katie tells her co-stars.
“[But] it’s not that far-fetched. I hooked up with Ariana in the back of his car while he drove, and had we been in, like, a bedroom, he probably would’ve participated,” Lala replies, giving a nod to her season seven hookup with Ariana.
And after Katie says that “it doesn’t matter” because she “didn’t say that,” Lala claims the concept called for further discussion.
“You never said it, but since it’s out there with them thinking that you did, like, let’s break it down really,” she states.
“But the thing is, does Ariana even care?” Kristina interjects.
According to Katie, she doesn’t believe Ariana cares about the speculation surrounding her relationship with Sandoval, but feels that she gets annoyed when her Pump Rules castmates discuss it.
“She doesn’t care, but I think she cares that people talk about it,” Katie explains.
As the preview continues, Lala is seen in a confessional, stating that because she’s experienced her own friendships with men, she knows where they can lead.
“Something don’t smell right with this Raquel and Sandoval ‘friendship.’ I know better than anybody that when you have a dude who’s your best friend, who’s there during difficult times, and then you add alcohol, you end up sitting on their face,” she declares.
Months after the scene was filmed, Ariana reportedly learned of Sandoval and Raquel’s affair after coming across a sexual video of Raquel on her then-boyfriend’s phone.
Vanderpump Rules season 10 airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
