What VPR’s Lala Kent and Brittany Cartwright Have Said About Their Dynamic After Babysitter Fight
Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent and The Valley cast member Brittany Cartwright have two different ideas of where they stand after their argument over a babysitter.
The former costars appeared to be on good terms until Lala revealed at the season 11 reunion that they had an offscreen argument.
“Brittany acted so out of pocket on the day of my gender reveal,” Lala said during the May episode. “She reached out to my mother and was so f–king out of pocket.”
Lala accused Brittany of reaching out to her mother, Lisa Burningham, the same day she was celebrating her second pregnancy. (Lala is currently expecting a child via IUI. She is already a mother to daughter Ocean, whom she shares with ex Randall Emmett.)
“Do not text my mother the day that I find out that we’re having a baby girl and say, ‘Did you really hire our nanny without our permission?’” Lala added. “First of all, you’re in Kentucky with [your son] Cruz, and she said, ‘I have Jax [Taylor] yelling at me.’ And I said, ‘Well, then you need to have Jax call me so I can eat him alive instead.’”
According to Lala, the use of the word nanny instead of babysitter was also a problem.
“People like to get real Hollywood quickly and call babysitters nannies. Babysitter and nanny? Very different things,” Lala added. “Had it not been Brittany, my mom would have slapped this ho the next time she saw her. My 63-year-old f–king mom is being questioned by Kentucky muffin. Are you joking?”
One month later, Brittany offered her side of the story.
“I’m just gonna say this short and sweet because I didn’t know that she was gonna talk about that on the reunion,” Brittany said on her “When Reality Hits” podcast in June. “I was kind of taken back by that because at that point, she had already apologized to me, [and] I had already apologized to her. So, we were completely fine, everything was good so I was kinda thrown. Like, ‘Why is this being talked about at the reunion?’”
Brittany, who shares son Cruz with Jax, claimed she and Lala worked everything out. Lala, however, hinted that she wasn’t in contact with Brittany since they faced off.

Unclear Update
In May, when Lala was asked whether she made up with Brittany during her Amazon Live, she replied, “TBD. I like that answer.”
Hope for the Future
Brittany broke her silence in June by saying she “didn’t really understand” why Lala brought their fight up at the VPR reunion.
“I do love Lala and my mistake was writing the text message, which was a nice message — I would never be rude or mean to anybody, let me make that very clear,” Brittany said on her podcast. “But, my mistake was writing the message on that day, I shouldn’t have done that. I apologized immediately for that.”
Brittany argued that the situation “sounded way worse on the reunion” than what actually happened.
“It was just more of the shock value,” she noted. “But we had already apologized to each other and gotten over it since then.”
Not Completely Over the Drama
While on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast in June, Lala said she wasn’t currently speaking to Brittany.
“Am I? We’re taking a breather from each other,” she replied before admitting she wasn’t close with several former VPR costars. “I have made this very clear. Like I’ve always said when there’s someone who is not talking to a lot of people, you usually have to look in the mirror and say, is it me? And it’s definitely me. I’m changing. I’m wanting different things.”
Lala was asked on an Amazon Live that same month whether Brittany ever apologized, saying, “We’re gonna hold off on that question.”
In addition to Brittany, Lala put some distance between her, Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix. Lala also offered glimpses into what caused her friendship with Kristen Doute to end off screen. During the June podcast appearance, Lala referred to Brittany’s husband as a “buffoon of a human” after confirming they weren’t close.
