0:00
Speaker 1: Hello, gorgeous. It's La La Kent. Welcome to untraditionally, La La, Hello, gorgeous,
0:08
Speaker 1: Welcome back to untraditionally, La La. I mean, the Bravo universe,
0:14
Speaker 1: it just never sleeps. It never sleeps. The moment you
0:18
Speaker 1: think that you're going to get some rest, they hit
0:22
Speaker 1: us with Scamanda. They hit us with Real Housewives of
0:26
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, which is my newest obsession, and I really
0:32
Speaker 1: want to get back to like recapping housewives because I
0:37
Speaker 1: know that if you guys are like me, which I
0:40
Speaker 1: have a feeling, you are just obsessed and you rock
0:44
Speaker 1: through every single city of Real Housewives even when they
0:49
Speaker 1: hit like a little low moment. I mean, we have
0:53
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Atlanta that's back with familiar faces. And
0:58
Speaker 1: they brought Kay Michelle on you joking me, you guys,
1:03
Speaker 1: I've been bopping to k Michelle for the fucking longest
1:07
Speaker 1: and I'm so excited that I can now post like
1:11
Speaker 1: little Instagram stories with her music attached, and people are
1:14
Speaker 1: gonna fucking know I'm obsessed with her. Go and download
1:20
Speaker 1: Can't Raise a Man by K Michelle. It'll change your
1:22
Speaker 1: whole life. Whenever I deal with a square I'm like
1:26
Speaker 1: up in my car just fucking belting belting that, and obviously, uh,
1:32
Speaker 1: Canice Dillard drive back? I mean, it's just it's all
1:37
Speaker 1: too good. So, as we all know, the Summerhouse kids
1:43
Speaker 1: are heading into a reunion. Now. Obviously when Scamanda happened,
1:50
Speaker 1: everybody waited in. We had Rihanna who unfollowed Amanda, We
1:56
Speaker 1: got the joint statement. It was very much reminding people
2:02
Speaker 1: of the scandal that happen on vander pump Rolfs and
2:05
Speaker 1: what a time to be alive and involved in it.
2:08
Speaker 1: But it's also something that consumes you when you're a
2:11
Speaker 1: part of a cast that's in a scandal like that.
2:15
Speaker 1: The show's airing, it's like the perfect storm. Everybody is
2:18
Speaker 1: on a hundred when it comes to the comments section,
2:23
Speaker 1: So to be the cast, I just keep going back
2:26
Speaker 1: and like putting myself in that position because it's extremely overwhelming,
2:31
Speaker 1: and you know, you're watching the show and you're finding
2:36
Speaker 1: all of what are they called easter eggs as Taylor
2:39
Speaker 1: Swift calls them, and thinking like, oh, it's all making
2:43
Speaker 1: so much sense, but like, do any of us really
2:46
Speaker 1: know the full story? Until Amanda and West tell us
2:50
Speaker 1: and even then you think these two people were capable
2:53
Speaker 1: of doing something like this. Can you even trust what
2:56
Speaker 1: they say? Will they go into the reunion prepped like
3:02
Speaker 1: you know Tom and Raquel were prepped. Will they go
3:06
Speaker 1: into the reunion and we're going to see that Jesse
3:09
Speaker 1: Solomon was kind of the Tom Schwartz of it. Of
3:12
Speaker 1: the scandal, we don't know. What I do know is
3:17
Speaker 1: that through this, there is one piece that's really sitting
3:21
Speaker 1: with me where I'm going. Okay, here is a difference
3:25
Speaker 1: in this scandal. I have seen that Kyle has really
3:32
Speaker 1: put Amanda's mental health on the forefront of his mind.
3:36
Speaker 1: He has made sure and again this is all public stuff.
3:40
Speaker 1: I don't know what he could be texting her behind
3:42
Speaker 1: closed doors, and the wrath that she's getting. I don't
3:46
Speaker 1: even feel comfortable saying that if he is going ham
3:49
Speaker 1: on her and we don't know about it, that she
3:51
Speaker 1: deserves it, because when this happened to our cast something
3:58
Speaker 1: very parallel. I went into the reunion and I was
4:03
Speaker 1: out for blood. Sandoval was never someone who was ever
4:08
Speaker 1: in my corner. He constantly was reminding me of my
4:11
Speaker 1: past and my lives, and he went into that reunion
4:15
Speaker 1: Season ten with that same fucking energy. Raquel had called
4:20
Speaker 1: me a mistress, like I was ready to lose my
4:25
Speaker 1: fucking mind, and I did. You guys saw it. But
4:29
Speaker 1: then what happened was I went so heavy in the
4:32
Speaker 1: paint that I kind of set myself up for failure
4:36
Speaker 1: because then I dipped into my emotional and compassionate side,
4:42
Speaker 1: because everyone knows, you know, living in anger and resentment
4:46
Speaker 1: is not a sustainable lifestyle, but you also forget because
4:53
Speaker 1: it is your real life and we are a part
4:56
Speaker 1: of these friend groups and we are filming a show
4:58
Speaker 1: for your entertainment, but it's still our real lives. It's
5:03
Speaker 1: it's hard to come from that place, like, you know,
5:06
Speaker 1: I need to be cognizant of the audience, and you
5:08
Speaker 1: guys don't want that. Otherwise you're not watching reality. Then
5:10
Speaker 1: we're playing into what the audience wants, and then you
5:13
Speaker 1: don't have a fucking great a television show. But I
5:17
Speaker 1: think my advice to most of the cast would be
5:21
Speaker 1: try your hardest to say exactly what you mean, but
5:29
Speaker 1: know that time changes everything, and the audience is not
5:36
Speaker 1: sympathetic to that, and they look at us like we
5:41
Speaker 1: power on for a show and power off until we're
5:45
Speaker 1: ready to film again. They don't see us when cameras
5:48
Speaker 1: aren't up, and even when cameras are up, they see
5:50
Speaker 1: such a small, a small piece of it that you know,
5:53
Speaker 1: when when cameras go down and you're done filming the
5:56
Speaker 1: reunion and you go back to your real life, your
5:59
Speaker 1: real life, because you're not Kyle, you're not Amanda, you're
6:02
Speaker 1: not Sierra, you're not West and you start thinking about
6:05
Speaker 1: the things that are important to you personally and what
6:08
Speaker 1: you want, and you know, things kind of calm down.
6:12
Speaker 1: The moment cameras pick back up and people see a
6:15
Speaker 1: softer version of you, you run the risk of being
6:18
Speaker 1: put in my position where the audience lightly cancels you.
6:22
Speaker 1: They don't appreciate a change of heart, especially one that
6:26
Speaker 1: happens very quickly in their eyes. The other thing that
6:34
Speaker 1: really really upsets me about this happening is there's something
6:37
Speaker 1: very very magical. And you know, we all love Housewives.
6:41
Speaker 1: It's just an iconic household, name brand franchise. But the
6:48
Speaker 1: hidden gems of Bravo, where the vander Pump rules, the
6:54
Speaker 1: summer houses, the southern charms of Bravo. That's what I think.
7:02
Speaker 1: Because these people have just deep rooted history from the
7:08
Speaker 1: time they were very very young, and it is rare
7:11
Speaker 1: that a new cast member is introduced without super deep history,
7:17
Speaker 1: not just like, oh yeah, I met them at a
7:19
Speaker 1: galla one time and we really connected. No, this is
7:22
Speaker 1: like we used to get wasted together when we first
7:26
Speaker 1: moved to New York. We've been in touch ever since.
7:29
Speaker 1: And then they show a flashback of you know, a
7:32
Speaker 1: party that was happening on Summerhouse, and there's their face,
7:36
Speaker 1: like there's receipts for how close the group is. When
7:40
Speaker 1: something like this happens, this scamanda of it all, you
7:46
Speaker 1: you cannot recover, and in return, the show is just
7:49
Speaker 1: not the same because you don't want to film together,
7:51
Speaker 1: you don't want to be around each other. And that
7:54
Speaker 1: happened with vander pump rules and people can say I'm
7:56
Speaker 1: to blame for that, you know, bottom line is the
7:59
Speaker 1: people that are to blame for that are sand of
8:02
Speaker 1: Aal and Raquel. You know, they shattered the fucking group.
8:05
Speaker 1: I'm not taking fucking responsibility anyone who wants to put
8:08
Speaker 1: that on me, you're giving me a lot of power
8:10
Speaker 1: and a lot of credit, which I actually my ego
8:12
Speaker 1: does enjoy. But Unfortunately, it's just not true. So if
8:16
Speaker 1: the show cannot be repaired and these people cannot go
8:21
Speaker 1: forward with filming a show after the reunion, because I
8:24
Speaker 1: imagine reality TV personalities, it's where we come from a
8:29
Speaker 1: place of logical thinking. We're emotional thinkers and we don't
8:34
Speaker 1: know how to take a step back. If we did,
8:36
Speaker 1: we certainly wouldn't be on the show because who the
8:38
Speaker 1: fuck wants to watch that someone who's got it together
8:41
Speaker 1: and thinks logically when emotions are heightened, Fuck that, I
8:44
Speaker 1: want to see a fucking crash out on the rag,
8:47
Speaker 1: which is what we see. So I know that even
8:50
Speaker 1: me saying these things, we're going to as people who
8:55
Speaker 1: are viewers die for what's about to happen at that reunion.
9:01
Speaker 1: But reunion day is where everything that was done behind
9:06
Speaker 1: the scenes comes to light, and after that you really
9:12
Speaker 1: really struggle to come back from it because the damage
9:16
Speaker 1: is just so far beyond repair. I think we do
9:21
Speaker 1: run the risk of Summer House having another season and
9:26
Speaker 1: then there being a tremendous shakeup. Do I hope that
9:29
Speaker 1: that's not what happens. I hope that this group can
9:33
Speaker 1: handle it differently than maybe our group did, and I
9:37
Speaker 1: don't want anyone to take that as I'm saying that
9:39
Speaker 1: people should have forgiven and forgotten what happened happened, what's
9:43
Speaker 1: meant to be will be for the audience's sake. I'm
9:48
Speaker 1: with you, guys, I am right there. I'm coming from
9:50
Speaker 1: an audience perspective for our sake. I hope that they
9:54
Speaker 1: are all able to come together, have you know, some
9:57
Speaker 1: downtime after the reunion before they pick cameras back up,
10:02
Speaker 1: so that we don't have such a shake up with
10:05
Speaker 1: Summer House that people don't even know what the show
10:07
Speaker 1: is anymore. I want this show to live a very
10:12
Speaker 1: long and healthy life because I enjoy it just like
10:16
Speaker 1: you guys enjoy it. And my biggest hope is that
10:20
Speaker 1: we never have something like this happened to Summerhouse, because
10:23
Speaker 1: that show is just fucking tits. That show's bitchin. I'm
10:27
Speaker 1: I obsessed a bitchin It's tits. I feel like I'm Dad.
10:31
Speaker 1: That's how my dad would talk, like, oh yeah, that's tits, LaRue.
10:35
Speaker 1: Not that anybody on Summerhouse gives one fuck about what
10:39
Speaker 1: I have to say, right, they ain't tune in and
10:41
Speaker 1: be like I need a good advice from la Alah
10:43
Speaker 1: because she thrived during the scandal for a minute I did,
10:48
Speaker 1: though for a minute I thrived, but I set myself
10:52
Speaker 1: up for failure. And I wish. I wish that I
10:56
Speaker 1: could sit here because I used to be of the
10:59
Speaker 1: mindset of like, I have no regrets, because I wouldn't
11:01
Speaker 1: be where I am right now, and I'm like, I
11:03
Speaker 1: have a feeling we would be a lot further had
11:05
Speaker 1: I not done that. At least I can laugh about it.
11:10
Speaker 1: But I have so many regrets, and they're at both
11:14
Speaker 1: ends of the spectrum. My first regret is I wish
11:18
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gone as hard at the reunion, and
11:20
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until I was kind of put
11:23
Speaker 1: in hot water with the audience, where I'm like, oh,
11:26
Speaker 1: this is what it feels like. I participated in two
11:29
Speaker 1: other people feeling this way, and it is a very
11:35
Speaker 1: very dark feeling, and I'm experiencing like a grain of
11:41
Speaker 1: sand compared to what I was feeding into with Tom
11:47
Speaker 1: and Raquel. I think there was a way to kind
11:50
Speaker 1: of talk about it and joke around about it without
11:57
Speaker 1: being so I mean, I was posting things about Raquel
12:01
Speaker 1: with fucking fifty cent songs that we're talking about throwing
12:05
Speaker 1: stones when you live in a glasshouse and if you've
12:08
Speaker 1: got a glass jaw, you should watch your mouth because
12:10
Speaker 1: I'll break your face. What the fuck the fuck are
12:13
Speaker 1: you talking about? And then like her saying that she'll
12:16
Speaker 1: be at the reunion I posted, I was like, we
12:17
Speaker 1: can't wait to see Raquel tagged her with like the
12:20
Speaker 1: devil emoji, like you're entering my lair and I'm about
12:24
Speaker 1: to fucking go off. It was just just like, what
12:31
Speaker 1: what are you doing? But that comes with life experience,
12:33
Speaker 1: going oh, I now know how this feels. I probably
12:35
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that again. Now you cut to going into
12:39
Speaker 1: filming the show again and just and we've I feel
12:43
Speaker 1: like I'm talking in circles. You guys have heard me
12:46
Speaker 1: talk about this before, but since we're in the rabbits
12:50
Speaker 1: hole of Scamanda and I've been a part of something
12:54
Speaker 1: like that, you know, my regret was not falling back
12:59
Speaker 1: more and not projecting my own healing process onto someone else.
13:06
Speaker 1: It was difficult, Like you guys know, but you know
13:10
Speaker 1: I am and was back then a grown woman. I
13:15
Speaker 1: certainly knew what projection meant. I certainly knew that I
13:19
Speaker 1: wanted to be handled with care, so I want to
13:22
Speaker 1: handle others with care. And I just aborted mission on
13:26
Speaker 1: everything that I stand for and wanted to do because
13:31
Speaker 1: I just wanted to try something different to hopefully heal myself.
13:34
Speaker 1: And it just wasn't the move. It wasn't the move.
13:37
Speaker 1: And Lindsay Hubbard has not spoken really publicly about what
13:44
Speaker 1: her situation is like with the father of her child.
13:49
Speaker 1: She and I have spoken on occasion, not in depth,
13:53
Speaker 1: but I have to imagine that, you know, being a
13:56
Speaker 1: part of Scamanda, I did see someone sent me something
14:01
Speaker 1: where or I was tagged in it. Someone was hoping
14:04
Speaker 1: that Amanda would come in with the same la la
14:08
Speaker 1: energy to this reunion as I came in to the
14:12
Speaker 1: season ten reunion, and if without saying too much, I
14:18
Speaker 1: think that she has a lot going on in her life.
14:21
Speaker 1: She's got her own world happening. After you have kids,
14:24
Speaker 1: that fucking happens. But I hope she does not come
14:28
Speaker 1: in with la la energy. I don't want that for her,
14:35
Speaker 1: that level of anger that I was feeling. You guys,
14:37
Speaker 1: although I look back and I go that girl was
14:39
Speaker 1: a bad bitch, I don't recognize her much. I don't
14:43
Speaker 1: recognize the lalla that I was at that reunion. Came
15:00
Speaker 1: home from that reunion, everybody who was still getting along,
15:03
Speaker 1: I think when out they went to dinner, and I
15:05
Speaker 1: just came home and I sobbed, and I felt like
15:08
Speaker 1: I had been emotionally robbed. I don't know how else
15:11
Speaker 1: to put it, because again season ten, of course I
15:16
Speaker 1: was angry about what Tom and Raquel had done to
15:19
Speaker 1: my friend, but unfortunately I was also moving in a
15:25
Speaker 1: very in a personal way. I was looking at two
15:30
Speaker 1: people who had made my life very difficult for a
15:33
Speaker 1: long time, and I was always labeled the bully, and
15:37
Speaker 1: I had so much resentment and this their actions validated
15:42
Speaker 1: all of the shit that I had been thinking and
15:45
Speaker 1: saying for years, and finally people were like, oh, yeah,
15:50
Speaker 1: she is a fucking bambe eyed bitch, and it was
15:52
Speaker 1: like I was feeling just validated by that. And that's
15:56
Speaker 1: just like the devil moving right, Like I'm not. I
15:59
Speaker 1: don't want to be that person who holds a grudge
16:03
Speaker 1: and has resentments and then when I'm proven right, thrive
16:07
Speaker 1: off of it. I want to be able to just
16:09
Speaker 1: move through it and be like, Okay, so I was
16:12
Speaker 1: you prove my point and move on not feel a
16:14
Speaker 1: sense of pride in that. So my hope for all
16:19
Speaker 1: of us is that it's going to be a very
16:23
Speaker 1: entertaining reunion, which I know that it will be. I
16:26
Speaker 1: just hope they move differently than we did, because you
16:29
Speaker 1: move the way we did, and the show ends. And
16:33
Speaker 1: it's not that opportunities will not come to these people anymore.
16:38
Speaker 1: I mean, I think from what I've been told, you
16:41
Speaker 1: guys know, my algorithm on socials, which is where I
16:43
Speaker 1: consume most of my news, is all about how to
16:45
Speaker 1: straighten my spine, fix my posture, a few healthy snacks
16:49
Speaker 1: that I save and will never make. So I have
16:52
Speaker 1: heard that Sierra is obviously doing well in booking gigs.
16:56
Speaker 1: So no one is going to be like deprived of
17:00
Speaker 1: opportunity should the show end. Right, we were all fine,
17:03
Speaker 1: well maybe not all of us, but most of us,
17:06
Speaker 1: but still there's nothing like filming a TV show. There
17:10
Speaker 1: was nothing like filming Van or Pump Rules, and I
17:13
Speaker 1: don't want that to end for them, and I certainly
17:14
Speaker 1: don't want it to end for us. So there's my
17:16
Speaker 1: long winded conversation to myself with you guys, and I
17:24
Speaker 1: can't wait for it to come out. Once it comes out, though,
17:26
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna talk about it.
17:29
Speaker 1: We'll start recapping on the bonus because some shit has
17:32
Speaker 1: happened with the bonus. So I'm back. I'm back, baby.
17:38
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll be able to let you guys know
17:40
Speaker 1: why at some point in time, right all right, I
17:44
Speaker 1: love you guys. I'm gonna catch you on Monday for
17:47
Speaker 1: another bonus of Untraditionally La La Wednesday for a regular
17:50
Speaker 1: old episode and reminder that an Unlikely Affair drops on
17:55
Speaker 1: Thursday Nights Friday Mornings with my bff Amber Childers. You guys,
18:00
Speaker 1: I love you.
