About Vanderpump Rules:
As a mentor and confidant to the group, Lisa is working to restore some peace between two feuding exes as she attempts to provide perspective. Lisa is refocusing her expertise on opening a new restaurant in Lake Tahoe and continuing her success with additional ventures in Las Vegas.
Ariana’s life was turned upside down after a devastating breakup, but she’s determined to make the best of a difficult situation. Although she still shares a home with her ex, Ariana is moving on and dating a new long-distance boyfriend. While working to open the doors to her and Katie’s sandwich shop, Something About Her, Ariana is embracing the countless opportunities that have come her way.
Recently proclaimed #1 guy in the group, James’ friendships within the circle are stronger than ever and his DJ career is booming. He bought a house in the Valley and is settling into suburban life with his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, along with their cat and a dog from James’ past.
With more distance from her divorce, Katie is exploring life as a single woman and dating, even if her pursuits strike too close to home for her ex-husband, Tom. A previous indiscretion comes to light and threatens to upend her and Scheana’s renewed friendship as well as her cordial post-divorce relationship with Tom.
Lala is still in the midst of a challenging custody battle, but being the best mom to Ocean remains her priority. Lala explores fertility treatments and looks for a sperm donor as a single mother. She finds an unlikely connection with Tom Schwartz, forming a friendship that neither saw coming, but creating tension between her and the rest of the girls as her forgiveness for the Toms grows.
Celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary, Scheana and husband Brock are struggling to connect as they leave the honeymoon stage and settle into their life with a toddler. Scheana works on new music as a way to express herself. She finds herself straddling the lines in the sand within the group as she navigates her relationships with her longtime friends, and feuding exes, Ariana and Tom.
In the aftermath of a scandal that changed his romantic relationships, dynamics within the group and the success of his businesses, Sandoval is working on bettering himself. In a fragile state, he focuses on repairing the foundations of his friendships. When he isn’t on the road touring with his band, Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras, he and Ariana live under the same roof ... locked in a stalemate for the house.
Tom is mending a challenged friendship after taking the heat for his part in his best friend’s shocking deception. Embracing a new identity, Tom bleaches his hair, evades exclusivity with a friend-potentially-turned-girlfriend, and winds up in a surprising love triangle with a new flame and his ex-wife.

Lala doesn’t want to fight with another loser father. Once that parent team breaks up, it’s impossible to control who your child is exposed to or left with. Very scary.

You’ve been on tv for 10 years and broke?

[@heresqueenie]

Did you not listen to what she said? She put the money into buying a home and the sandwich shop. There was also a conversation with LVP a while ago where she told Ariana not to buy a home with Sandoval because they weren’t married and she was putting way more money into it than him. The sandwich shop also got the wrong permits which cost her and Katie thousands of more dollars to fix the mistake.

[@justdoit758]

@@heresqueenie it doesn’t matter she didn’t buy a house cash…she contributed to a percentage of the down payment…they have a mortgage which she barley paid because tom covered most…and she had a partner with sandwich shop. That does not add up to 10 years on tv salary.

[@MK-285]

Sandra Bullock can do it but Lala can't, I guess?!? People will literally hate on anything. Let her live her life. If she finds love in the future, even better, but she's choosing not to wait. What's wrong with that?! A woman taking control of her life? Aren't Bravo fans for woman empowerment?! Some of the hate she's getting, I just don't understand

[@catherinecalvert7742]

I was down for her until her brother Easton said on her podcast how hard it was for Lisa(their mom) raising Ocean at her age She's with Ocean the most because of Lalas business and filming schedule Lala was pissed Easton brought it up and that was a few months before Lala announced baby #2 Hopefully she will get a nanny and let her mom just enjoy being a Grandma It's hard raising 2 children no less as you get older Lala sounding like she's just thinking of herself right now

[@yvettetorres7829]

Oh Lala, children don’t belong to us. We are here to love, nurture, guide, provide for them, educate them etc and teach them how to go out in the world with tools. We’re always there, if they need us.

[@thegothlibrarian]

Wanting a creature that is completely their own sounds like a shitty reason to have kids, but then again I think most people have similar stupid reasons re: having kids.

[@dextermoore278]

Lala is a selfish NARCISSIST. EVERY CHILD NEEDS A MOTHER AND A FATHER.

[@joshsaunders6392]

Seriously how selfish can you be. Plus she says no one can take it away from her as if the government doesn't take people's kids all the time.

[@fzrms7954]

I wonder if LaLa thought about what would be best for the baby, not herself? An absent father, purposely done, has major implications for a child.

[@marhar1172]

Agree 💯. The selfishness of lala to not think about the child is mind blowing..Lala only loves Lala.

[@dextermoore278]

LALA IS A SELFISH, NARCISSIST. SHE ONLY CARES ABOUT HERSELF AND HER OWN NEEDS!!! SHE'S NOT BEING A GOOD MOTHER. SHE'S DELUSIONAL AF 😂😂

[@theempresss]

Yes

[@dextermoore278]

Tom said that he was paying all of the bills!!! He said Ariana hadn't paid anything in a long time. That's another reason why he wants to get rid of her. Ariana is dead weight 😂😂

[@sablewalker244]

I understand where lala is coming from.. like you give birth and sacrifice for your child that’s yours and what happens if it doesn’t work out with the guy??? You get split holidays??? Hell no! You can go but this is my child that I gave birth to. So I get it.

[@lisamarie8265]

I'm broke, but I still need an agent, manager and an assistant, give me a break. They are legends in their own minds.

[@baby_ghoul]

She doesn't have an assistant. In order to get book deals and guest appearances you do need an agent. In order to negotiate a lucrative contract and not be taken advantage of, you usually need a manager. You don't need to be Angelina Jolie to have these things. Clearly she wanted to remain in the entertainment industry in order to afford her home, and it's not like ten years of reality TV is going to translate elsewhere.

[@kennethiavail1719]

@@baby_ghoulpeople make comments like they know what they’re talking about. You explained that perfectly.

[@Missmam_micdrop]

Do you not understand how entertainment industry works? You need an agent and manager lol. People love making comments on things they don’t know anything about.

[@dextermoore278]

​@baby_ghoul I think Ariana and Tom are both really bad with money and they live above their means. They want to live in luxury but they really can't afford to anymore. Los Angeles is extremely expensive. Even the big celebrities like Sly Stallone, are leaving California. It's is too expensive and has lots of crime. It's gross 😝

[@rachll7904]

LaLa... sadly, there is no absolute. Children grow up and want to know who their dad is. Especially since your other child has her dad. Just a thought...❤

[@catherinecalvert7742]

I agree Kind of selfish on her part It may be good for her but not the child and children ALWAYS come first.

[@mickeyandres2651]

Bawling over sharing a child with its father, wth Lala check yourself please! Very skewed perspective here….

[@manjitpannu5408]

Depends who the father is. Not every father is good to his children.

[@huntleyqueen]

@@manjitpannu5408but Randall seems to love all his kids? And is constantly keeping ocean and she looks happy? Just because it doesn’t work out with the mother doesn’t mean he’s automatically a shitty father ??

[@txfxri]

@@huntleyqueenbut Randall was also accused of felonious activities and assault so maybe her reservations lie within having dealt with the fallout feelings of finding that out and having to deal with it too

[@monismusings]

Dont talk about things you dont understand little one

[@fzrms7954]

She is definitely staying out of spite.

[@countrygirlxo7188]

Honestly I don’t think lala should have a lot of kids. When we saw her with her baby before she was very hands off and the nanny did most of everything. She has such a chaotic lifestyle. Like her whole MO is to cause drama to get a paycheck. Once those paychecks are gone then what will she do?

[@MK-285]

Honestly, I don't think you have enough information to form that judgmental opinion. You saw maybe minutes taken from hours upon hours of edited footage & all of a sudden you believe you have insight into her day to day life?!? 🤡 Very 'basic troll' of you. As far as the financial aspect, out of everyone, Lala seems to b handling her future financial endeavors the most responsibly. On top of that, she has been showing that she's no longer the spoutin'-off-drama-queen from seasons past. Can she still turn up? Yes! But she's also a person whose character probably leans towards emotional reactivity. Takes time & effort to change, which she's attempting. I challenge anyone to honestly imagine a camera following you around for years & see if they don't get some Lala-level drama out of it that can b spun to create any number of perspectives. Let's just let her live her life & love on some babies. Not much different than split households or absentee parents (fathers *or* mothers), where in a lot of situations, you also pile on the added trauma of negativity, bitterness & resentment.

[@marhar1172]

Your right..Thats because her mother is the primary caregiver of Ocean and the new baby. Lala only thinks of Lala. .

[@dextermoore278]

LALA WILL GO BACK TO BEING A MISTRESS AND A HOLLYWOOD HOOKER. THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS WHEN SHE STARTED VPR AND SHE WAS PROUD OF IT!(! 😂😂

[@catherinecalvert7742]

​. You're right Right before announcing baby #2 Lalas mom was saying how hard it was raising a toddler alone at her age because Lalas always busy amd the mom is getting older She wants to be a Grandma not a full time caretaker Hopefully a nanny is in her plans

[@thatgirlPAIGE94]

There is nothing “reserved” about Lala 😂

[@kellydavis6821]

Give me a break, she doesn't have enough money to move! She may not have millions, but pretty damn close with all she's been doing.

[@huntleyqueen]

Why is no one telling Tom to move and he’s the one that put them in this position ???

[@avamclean-cp2nh]

Everyone’s hating on Lala because the child will “need a father” it’s just so wild to me to think that way??? Like single parents or widows should just be ashamed or remarry as fast as they can because the child needs a father? What about victims of abuse? Lala’s ex has been accused of sexual assault against women - I too would have trust issues with men. I also would not want him around our DAUGHTER. She wants her kids close in age what’s wrong with that

[@dominikastrauss5208]

Agreed, but even though Lala is a single parent, her child does have a father and gets more protection from parents

[@tshidi6533]

Oh my gosh. I absolutely love the woman Lala is becoming 😍. You do you girl. ❤️

[@Rosiebudgets1]

The problem with social media and TV is that people idolize celebrities and influencers. I love her but people and kids will look at this and think it’s okay to bring children into the world just because. Yes it takes a village to raise children but it should first start with two loving parents. Single mothers usually don’t choose that for themselves..I’m sure most of them started in relationships or marriages that they thought would work. So she’s choosing to be a single mother and that’s great because she can afford it because of being on TV but let’s be honest…an average woman can’t afford that and shouldn’t feel like it’s something to consider just because they would like another baby. We all want things it doesn’t mean we should have them.

[@kennethiavail1719]

As a single mom myself, it’s not great and I feel shame everyday. Would never promote this to any woman.

[@osenifabua1912]

When does she not cry 😢😢😢😢

[@samiam5434]

“ I don’t want a baby daddy” She is so screwed up ….daddy issues at it’s finest. I don’t like her but she has some serious issues and she’s using that child as a way to cope for her Trauma . She obviously fears loss and hates not being in control because I’m her mind it increases the possibility of losing something or someone you love. I’m empathic towards her pain and issues but having a child is not the answer. What will end up happening is her trauma will be passed down to her kids…now her kids won’t have a dad around consistently and that pushes the cycle of trauma to continue.

i cant imagine the burden of being that child, when the main reason it was being artificially created was to compensate for the fact that lala chose a partner for his money only, wrecked a two-child married home and got knocked up to secure that check, and yet her plan didnt work out. you shouldnt bring life into this world to compensate for your poor choices, regrets and shame about the fact that your golddigging, manipulative and greedy ways are on tape for eternity and didnt even make you rich like you hoped they would. its not empowering, its exploiting medicine for the wrong reasons.

Once Vanderpump rules is over I would LOVE to see Lala join Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, along with KYle's daughter Farrah. That way we would get a new generation of Housewives for the franchise to live on and honestly Farrah is great tv on Buying Beverlly Hills (the only palatable person there actually) and Lala is great on vanderpump imo

[@myalias2812]

That is a Brilliant idea! Put MJ & Asa on it too. I used to despise Lala but since she gave up drinking she got better & having Ocean has been the best thing in the world for her. Having Farrah on the show should be the first hire & she's not a drama queen like her mother. Maybe Paris can guest star like Kathy does. It would be great to see how their lives are as adults & moms.

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

@@myalias2812 omg yes!! adding Asa and MJ would be perfect and having Paris come in from time to time would be absolutely excellent tv overall. Imagine! It would be a solid cast for a new gen Beverly Hills since we all can sense that there will clearly be a major cast shakeup in a couple of years mostly because much of the women are clearly at a different phase of their lives i think (kinda like how LVP is clearly in a different phase of her life right now...she was always a little older so it was natural that it came to her first but i can see it creeping in on Kyle, Erika, Garcelle and Sutton too that things are changing a little for them). They probably have another like 3 more seasons and then it would be great to usher in these new ladies. MJ, Asa, Farrah, Lala, Christine Quinn from Buying Beverly Hills and keep one of the current cast members to complete a full cast of 6 full time housewives and then have Paris as a friend of. That would be SOLID TV.
