Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent is opening up about her relationship with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett this season, and the former couple had several relationship ups and downs. Randall came under fire after the LA Times released an article last summer exposing the film producer with a long list of abuse and fraud allegations spanning his 25-year career. Randall has denied these allegations, but it's clear that Lala feels differently.

Vanderpump Rules season 10 star Lala and Randall's rocky relationship has been broadcast on social media over the past year, with Lala using Instagram, interviews, and her podcast Give Them Lala to narrate her side of their toxic relationship. During the season 9 reunion, Lala opened up about her heartbreak after she caught Randall cheating on her with multiple women. She explained that it was Katie Maloney, her Vanderpump Rules co-star, who called her about photos of Randall in Nashville with two unidentified women. Following this, Lala left Randall and took their young daughter with her.

Lala Is Grateful For Her Daughter Ocean

If there's one good thing that Lala can acknowledge came from her relationship with Randall, it's their daughter Ocean, who was born in March 2020. During Vanderpump Rules season 10, episode 2 named "Was It Worth It?" Lala admits, "I just so badly wish I would've listened to people around me. But then I wouldn't have had Ocean. She's the only thing I can think about in order for me not to bang my head against a wall and go 'How the f**k did you not see this in front of you?'" It's clear that Lala considers Ocean the only positive thing to come out of her relationship with Randall.

Lala Denies Knowledge Of Randall's Transgressions

Randall isn't the only one in the hot seat after the LA Times article dropped. Friends and fans of Lala alike doubt her ignorance of Randall's wrongdoings and have pointed out Lala's hypocrisy, as she began seeing Randall while he was still married to his now ex-wife, Ambyr Childers. In last week's episode of Vanderpump Rules, even Lisa Vanderpump asked Lala if she saw any signs of Randall's red flags while they were together, to which Lala said no. She spent the majority of Vanderpump Rules season 9 defending Randall to her co-stars. However, since their separation, Lala has been very vocal about Randall's behavior, even claiming that Randall once tackled her to the ground to stop her from leaving him.

Lala & Randall's Custody Battle

Vanderpump Rules' Lala Kent & Randall Emmett looking serious

Since they split in 2021, Lala and Randall have been in the middle of an ongoing custody battle for their daughter Ocean. Lala mentioned during last week's Vanderpump Rules episode that she and Randall were in the middle of their custody situation but was very vague about the details. All that she divulged was Lala didn't need Tom Schwartz, or anyone for that matter, to be friendly with her ex because of her custody battle. However, it seems it's about to get worse as Randall was accused of "suspected child exploitation and pedophilia" and is under investigation by the FBI, according to Page Six. A Bravo fan account mentioned this to Lala regarding him still having custody of their daughter, to which she replied, "If you haven’t dealt with the family court system you wouldn’t understand."

Lala has been accused by Randall of running a smear campaign against him in order to win full custody of their daughter and in return, Lala has had to defend herself repeatedly on social media and in interviews. Although it's her ex Randall being accused of immoral and illegal actions, Lala is catching a lot of the flak as well. Lala still has a lot of damage control to do before she can put the relationship and Randall's actions behind her. During Vanderpump Rules season 10, clearing her name may be Lala's primary goal.
