Lala Kent brutally compared Tom Sandoval to her “narcissistic” ex Randall Emmett and James Kennedy had to be stopped from pursuing him on Wednesday’s reunion episode of Vanderpump Rules.
The 32-year-old reality star confronted Sandoval, 40, early and often in the first part of the reunion episode, which was filmed in New York City in March, just weeks after the Scandoval affair broke out.
Lala and James, 32, closed Sandoval just minutes after the reunion, which was also attended by English restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump, 62.
“You’re not a victim!” Lala yelled at Sandoval as he first began addressing the group, his voice broken.
“You’re not at the Oscars,” James added.

“I’m not a victim,” Sandoval said through tears.
“This sad sack action is fucking bullshit,” Ariana said.
‘James! “Stop it!” Lisa yelled while James continued to taunt Sandoval.
“Be a man, mate. Be a man. Pull yourself together. Damn crocodile tears. P****,” said James, who was previously engaged to Raquel.
Tom stammered that he appreciated anyone who rallied around Ariana.
“No matter what was going on in our relationship, she didn’t deserve it,” Tom said. “Nobody deserves something like this to happen.”
“Nothing happened,” Ariana quickly interjected. ‘You managed.’
Sandoval said he was sorry “for doing the only thing I said I wouldn’t do,” in the “worst way that’s possible.”

“I love you and I apologize,” Sandoval said.
“No. “That didn’t hit me,” James commented as he turned to Lala.
“I wasn’t even listening,” Lala said.
Andy then asked Ariana about her recent conversations with Sandoval.
“He’s 100 percent the victim’s fault, so I don’t believe anything that just came out of his mouth,” Ariana said.
“And he can shit,” she added.
Andy then noted that Lala quickly moved out after splitting from Randall, 54, in November 2021 after learning he had cheated on her with multiple women.
“Do you think it’s healthy for these two to share the house?” Andy asked, referring to Ariana and Sandoval.
‘NO. Sandoval is Randall. Give him 10 years, he’s Randall Emmett,” Lala explained.
The ex: “No. Sandoval is Randall. Give him 10 years, he’s Randall Emmett,” Lala explained when comparing Sandoval to her ex, shown in New York City in November 2022

“It’s absolutely terrifying.” “I couldn’t get Randall to stay home, and then when the shit hit the house, I couldn’t fucking get him out of the house,” Lala said.
“There you have it,” Ariana said approvingly.
“That’s bloody narcissistic.” Everyone needs to be warned about this person. “This is a dangerous human being,” Lala continued.
Lisa spoke up and rebuked Lala for saying Sandoval was a dangerous person.
“I didn’t ask anyone for their opinion,” Lala told her.
“Well, you have my opinion,” Lisa replied.
“Well, that’s great. I refuse. He slept next to her. “That was his life partner,” Lala said.
Absolutely terrifying: “It’s absolutely terrifying.” “I couldn’t get Randall to stay home, and then when the shit hits steam I couldn’t fucking get him out of the house,” Lala said
Approving: “Here we go,” Ariana said approvingly
Sandoval tried to protest that Lala was judging his character, but she said to him, ‘Shut up.’ Shut the fuck up.’
Andy ended up asking Sandoval the big question: “If you started your relationship with Raquel, why don’t you talk to Ariana?”
“And to your friends? “Do you remember who I am, Tom?” James Sandoval asked.
‘Yes. “You’re James who screwed Kennedy,” Sandoval replied.
“What’s that to you?” James asked.
Lisa agreed that Ariana was more important, but Ariana countered that James and Sandoval are “like brothers.”
“We were like brothers?” “I talk to you once a month, dude,” Sandoval said.
“Wow,” James said.
Good questions: “And about your friends?” “Remember who I am, Tom?” James Sandoval asked
Speaking up: Lisa agreed that Ariana was more important, but Ariana countered that James and Sandoval are “like brothers”.
James accused Sandoval of being an “opportunist” and stood up and confronted him.
“When I was 21!” James yelled about his age as the older Sandoval befriended him.
“Get off me!” Tom yelled.
Andy stopped James from chasing Sandoval and ordered him to stay in his chair.
“I stood up for you when…” Sandoval said.
“F*** you! I don’t want you to stand up for me. “You’re an idiot and I think you’re a clown,” James said.
Sandoval warned James that if he looked him in the face again, he would be teasing him, and James immediately charged back at him.
Meanwhile, Raquel observed what was happening in a trailer 100 meters away.

“You’re a worm with a mustache!” “Ugly bloody worm!” James roared as he walked away.
Tom and Ariana split in March after she found out about his affair with Raquel while supporting him at a concert of his band Tom Sandoval And The Most Extras.
Ariana found a raunchy, incriminating selfie video of Raquel on his phone and confronted Raquel, who admitted to the secret affair with Sandoval.
Raquel was in New York City at the time for a joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live with 39-year-old Scheana Shay.
Scheana admitted that she exploded with anger at Raquel when she found out about the affair, and she shoved. Raquel later filed a restraining order against Scheana, forcing her to keep her distance while filming the reunion.
