Lala Kent Says Scandoval Would’ve Come Out Sooner If Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute Were Still on ‘Vanderpump Rules’

usmagazine.com:

Lala Kent is confident that Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute would have been her partners in crime in uncovering Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss‘ affair if they were still on Vanderpump Rules.“No one wanted to hear me on this,” Lala, 32, claimed during her appearance on the “When Reality Hits With Jax & Brittany” podcast, which aired on Tuesday, June 27. “People love to live in the ‘if this didn’t happen, you would look so bad’ [headspace].

If we live in the ‘if,’ then we have to live in the ‘probably.’ … I had this gut feeling because it was f—king happening.”Us Weekly confirmed in March that Sandoval, 40, and Ariana Madix split after nine years once she learned of his months-long affair with Raquel, 28.

While the scandal did eventually come to light on camera — with additional footage being filmed for the season 10 finale — Lala revealed on Tuesday that things may have unfolded sooner if both Jax, 43, and Kristen, 40, were still on Pump Rules.“[Kristen] would have hacked into their phones,” Lala joked, noting that Kristen — who was fired from the Bravo series in June 2020 alongside Stassi Schroeder after their past racist behavior resurfaced — would have had her back amid her speculation of Sandoval’s indiscretion.Jax, meanwhile, agreed with Lala and claimed he would have been “sent in to do all the dirty work” of exposing the affair after Lala and Kristen did their digging. (Jax and his wife, Brittany Cartwright, announced their exit from Pump Rules in December 2020 after eight years.)“I think for the first time ever, you and I Jax, we would have been like Bonnie and Clyde in this s—t,” Lala said, adding, “And Brittany would have been telling us to calm down.
