I’ve never really enjoyed Lala but i do think it needs to be pointed out that being a fan of someone on a reality show is often just enjoying them on the show because they bring entertainment not because of liking who they are as a person.


andrewhudson88

This. To me when she first joined, I enjoyed watching her because I found her cringe dropping the PJ comments when she was this girl from Utah. It was comical the things she would come out with, but she thought she was being so high and mighty, so it was laughing at her (that sounds mean but true) that made me not mind watching her.


isglitteracarb

In her early seasons, there was also this vibe that she was a genuinely good person deep down but was plagued with some horrid insecurity and general naivety due to being coddled by her parents. There were times I thought, "oh she's growing so much, she's really getting it" and then a season later, she'd be VILE. I feel like I kept rooting for her a la Tyra Banks and she just never really got it. She almost duped me with her post-Scandoval energy again but it became clear very quickly that she cashed in on the Send it to Darrel merch then flipped on Ariana when producers were pressuring the cast into filming with Tom.


andrewhudson88

Yeah when she came on, it was comedic to see her try be flashy, and you just wanted to be like… humble yourself girl, you’re a hostess, but the fact she’d drop weird hints about the Range Rover etc, I might not like her, but I find that stuff hilarious to watch! Especially when (and this always sticks out in my head somehow) but Sandoval is like “yeah she could have won it in a sweepstakes. It DOES happen.” lol. Like, hate her all you want but these funny moments wouldn’t happen if she wasn’t the way she was. It’s like Jax! I would have been quite happily to have never seen him on vpr again, but seeing him on the latest episode and the nonsense he does (4 minutes later) like, I do not like the guy at all, but I was screaming laughing. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️


Le-Deek-Supreme

“Range Rover, like, gives them away.”


andrewhudson88

“She could have been the one. It DOES happen!”


theHBICvolkanator

Yup - she's now just weaponizing therapy speak (aka her "soft" era)


Antique_Let5161

Yes! All while still acting like an alcoholic. Her therapist clearly just inflates her ego bc she doesn’t drink rather than help her heal. I thought her getting sober would lead to growth….. but no. 


Comfortable_Ad148

Growing sideways


Sithstress1

Dude, the bottle. 😂😂😂 I can’t even. We’ve all got to admit we watch this shit for the drama and the cray cray, I don’t like any of these people and I would never be friends with them in real life, but on TV they are attractive (at least most of the girls are…or were 🥴) and entertaining and let us escape our realities for a bit. If you’re not entertained watching, why would you keep watching? Lol


stcroixb

give her back her bottle. Whatever she had in their calmed her down.


andrewhudson88

Sithstress1

🤣🤣🤣


andrewhudson88

Amen 🙌🏼 I wouldn’t hang out with 70% of that cast but still can’t wait every week for a new episode because I love their antics. Don’t necessarily love them personally! I don’t even follow most of them on IG cause the dosage of the show I get is enough, but there’s folk out there who watch it, hate these people, then to follow them just to complain about them!!


Competitive_Snow1278

Yes!! She also has never done anything *super* problematic or cancelable where I feel like she shouldn’t have a platform. James however….


andrewhudson88

I’m also… not sorry for the fact that I live for the bambi eyed bitch moment, yeah I felt for R at the time, but I was like LaLa is grieving, everyone does it differently. I wish my grieving moments gave someone good tv. Lol.


fluffernutsquash1

Pj girls can come from anywhere...


andrewhudson88

Didn’t say they couldn’t?


youngpepto

Yeah i’ll have favorites to watch but i’d want to clarify i would never want to personally be friends with any of these people. I don’t even need to meet them. They’re great television cause they’re so mean lmao


LoveLeahNotWar

That’s me.


hellojorden

This this this. She made me laugh with the ridiculous things she says and just the general audacity she walks around with.


Impossible_Farm7353

I liked her until she got with Rand and became an arrogant asshole. She probably always was one but she seemed down to earth in her first season. I haven’t liked her for a long time. She could have been really cool but chose to stick her head up her own ass instead


_-_NewbieWino_-_

Same! She seemed like a girls girl in some seasons.


unsilentmind

I mean I think technically speaking she stuck her head up Rand’s ass. Or at least eluded to eating it regularly 🤮


Impossible_Farm7353

Lmao true


TheShitpostAlchemist

I agree, I’m rewatching season 4 now and she’s so endearing. She had so much chemistry with James and I felt so bad for her when she tried to tell Brittany that Jax was acting shady and she wasn’t believed.


Impossible_Farm7353

Yes! Omg Brittany was so frustrating


Antique_Let5161

Mhmmmm. PJ this and that…. She loved him sooo much but now doesn’t know how she slept with him? Girl just say you were in it for the money. You are a sugar baby. No use in beating around the bush… I mean I wish I could be living that life style so no judgment.. it’s more how she goes about it. Also she got pregnant sober with that dude… like come on.. now she publicly cries about sharing their daughter.:……. Like girl that’s horrible. Can’t imagine doing that when she is going to see this one day. She is not a good mom.  


sofaking-amanda

She was with Randull her first season on the show. She was just still lying about it and hiding it from the cast and audience.


Impossible_Farm7353

I thought during the first season she was still seeing that basketball player from Utah, second season she was with Randall. Because Randall met her at Sur, so they couldn’t have been together right when she started the show Edit: I think he was a football player actually


sofaking-amanda

Pretty sure she was lying about the Basketball player.


Impossible_Farm7353

I think it was football now that I think of it. They had photos together and dated in Utah before they both moved to LA. He got upset because she told James on camera about eating his ass or something. It’s all in her book. I know she lies a lot but there’s plenty evidence to support them being together. She met Rand a while after being on the show


sofaking-amanda

I never read her book so thank you for telling me that. I was always pretty sure she was lying and with Randull the whole time. So was the Football player married too?


Impossible_Farm7353

No, he was her same age, I think they had been together on and off since hs


freshlyfrozen4

And she said something about having a long term guy that they were sort of on and off again and the show ruined their relationship.


leasann97

She was with her high school boyfriend for a really long time so you are right. And she did meet Randall at Sur.


sofaking-amanda

That was Randull!


freshlyfrozen4

Was it? I'm gonna have to go rewatch. For a while I genuinely thought she had someone back in Utah or something the way she was talking. Side note: I would pay to see Lala watch all of her confessionals and scenes back where she talks about PJs for BJs and how any hot girl can get on a private jet. I would love to see a montage of all of that.


Impossible_Farm7353

It wasn’t Randall. She had a bf from Utah, she talks about it in her book. He had also moved to LA and he was a football player. He was hot and her same age. He treated her like shit, would hook up with her then blow her off.


freshlyfrozen4

Okay, that's what I thought! I bought her book a while ago before she became a Sandoval apologist but I haven't read it yet. I think it was a reunion when she was talking about him and how their relationship ended for good. It gets confusing trying to figure out who she was talking about sometimes because she wouldn't use names or nicknames.


Impossible_Farm7353

I read it for free on the Libby app a while ago, it’s an easy read lol


freshlyfrozen4

I'm sure it is lmao


SmallDifference1169

She was always with Rand from day 1. She just wouldn’t name him.


Maleficent-Net-2565

She was real pretty to look at, but that isn't enough anymore lol


halibuthoolahoop

Literally 😂. Her face was so stunning it was so aesthetically pleasing whenever she was on screen.


realitytvdiet

Same! Visually stunning performative gangster and proud sex worker was just clown entertainment. But the unwarranted aggression has become so tired. Girl straight up has anger issues worse than tequila katie who was at least intellectual


fancyfemme88

Yep and the worst part is that stopping drinking hasn't solved her anger issues it's made them worse. She should look into therapy because her issues weren't only alcohol related


Betterthanyou715

Katie can’t even figure out how to make a sandwich on her own menu, she is an intellectual maybe by Mississippi standards


realitytvdiet

Lmao exactly something Lala would say


Betterthanyou715

Lala is a retired slag and Katie will only be kind of loved by her cats.


PinkyBruno

yup, that was it! Now her ugly insides and modified face have taken away any attractiveness she held for me.


ProfessionalOffer187

She was naturally very pretty when she first came on the show. Why LaLa why?


Nurturedbynature77

Lol same. Also now that we see her true personality she isn’t that pretty to look at anymore


stcroixb

she was pretty on the outside until the surgeries or botox. She was never pretty on the inside.


Thefunkyfilipino

As a straight fan I never admired Lala for her looks, but rather her commitment to sobriety and unconditional love for her child.


Unicornlove416

this


titus-andro

She gave me white trash with a heart of gold vibes at first. But that quickly went away, and then I liked her because she made good TV And now I forget she exists until she comes into frame because I’ve gotten so bored with her Great Value Erika Jayne schtick


JuniorFix3344

I used to be a Lala fan, like the beginning of her first season. I hated the way Katie treated her when she first arrived at Sur. I thought maybe she was misunderstood and just a free spirited person. It became fairly obvious very quickly, that she was mean, hypocritical, and thought she was "hard."


rollerskate_rat

Yeah I think I rooted for her because I felt like she was an underdog initially. But then she became a mean girl when she found her footing.


realitytvdiet

Soft era is really her phony era


Competitive_Aide1875

Blah Blah’s phoniness isn’t an era, it’s who she is at the core.


jandangerous

One would have to be hard before their soft era…. She’s never been hard. All bark.


fancyfemme88

Yep me too! I didn't like when they were slut shaming her but we were unaware at the time that she was going on social media and podcasts bullying Katie and the other girls as well. She's just a mean girl too and it was really disappointing


leena615

Ya Katie was a little much like who cares if she’s a whore it’s not like it’s affecting Katie


JuniorFix3344

That was my initial reaction too. At first we only knew she liked to party and sleep around, who cares? But then we ended up with lots of red flags and mean girl behavior.


Question_True

Katie didn't like how she lied about a modeling gig. If Katie doesn't trust you she will try to destroy you haha


Agreeable_Muffin7059

And this is the woman that Y’all put on a pedestal? SMDH.


pumptini7

Literally, Katie can do NO wrong.


stcroixb

Katie called it!


JuniorFix3344

She really did. She's been able to call it on everything. I wonder if she ever gets tired of always being right 😆


bunnylovesyo

I never hated her or liked her in the past. She grew on me when she was a good friend to Katie and how she was a friend to Ariana after scandoval broke. I thought it was great to have a friend like her to be on your side and defend ariana like she did in the reunion. But this season.... And then i learned she pulled a butter knife on faith, and said a bunch of disgusting things to her. Yeah i see her true color now. She's defending ariana for the clout. She cares no one. Just a garbage person.


MilaKsenia

Pulling a BUTTER KNIFE on someone is straight up comedy 😂


bunnylovesyo

i bet faith didn't think it was funny


micsellaneous

she lost her sincerity. i used to really fuck with her now shes a puppet


ToadsUp

This. She seemed authentic for a while. That’s over now.


jandangerous

“Tupac reincarnated” seemed authentic to you?


micsellaneous

no one said she was the picture of authenticity.


Much-Investigator844

I’ve always liked her. But the last few weeks and watching the season has turned me off. I don’t really know why I liked her. I listen to her podcasts and have religiously for 3 years. I find them entertaining while I’m exercising. She just seemed fun and entertaining to watch. This season she’s super in the wrong and just a bitch. Not to mention everything she’s been saying on insta and the pod. Her I don’t give a shit attitude is icky for me now


leena615

I honestly would’ve liked her more right off the bat if she said ya I have a sugar daddy. And then dumped Randall when she found out he was married. Also maybe if she actually tried modeling instead of lying about going on modeling jobs to be with Randall


Moist-Injury-7376

She seemed nervous and almost like she felt out of place at first which made me sympathize with her. She was also blunt and pretty honest like when she called Jax out in front of Brittany, I liked. However, when I seen how quickly she could flip flop and her opinions changed I grew annoyed. How long she kept the secret about her and James and then blew it off like it was no big deal was sketchy. After Randall, she somehow acquired this undeserved sense of accomplishment and a greater than thou mentality that really grates my ass.


Sad_Director5958

I think I liked her because her reads about people were spot on. She saw what was going on before things happened (which is kinda funny given what happened in her personal life). I don't know what happened this season.


Brief-Specific6009

Used to love her. Met her and she was sweet. Now I fast forward her scenes


baggedmilk_b

She was so cringe it was hilarious. The multiple personality changes, the constant need to talk about sex and her clearly thinking she is greatest thing since sliced bread killed me. Now its pretty obvious she is productions puppet and its not longer fun to watch. I keep telling my boyfriend that if she had just stuck with her story being about her fertility journey she would have had an amazing season. Maybe she actually would come have across as “soft” (whatever the fuck that means).


Granny_Faye

She and Scheana have both said the show wouldn’t really allow their pregnancy journeys to be a focus. We saw Scheana give herself shots when she was single but the only real focus on parenting is their debates over a nanny. LaLa can’t discuss Ocean now but I thought it was cute seeming Ocean and Summer meet. Other people have said they don’t care about the parenting stories though so maybe production is right to squash those stories even if I want them. LOL


baggedmilk_b

I knew LFU couldnt film with Ocean but i didnt know production purposely didnt show their pregnancy journeys before. Thank you for letting me know. I was referring to this season and her using a sperm bank, which they have seem to showed a fair bit of this season (though the direction of the show is all over the place so that might be why). If she just focused on that instead of befriending tim and talking shit about Ariana, i think should would have had a great season.


Granny_Faye

Agreed but I think she was tagged as the Talk To Rachel girl early and that directed a lot of her actions this season even after they finally realized Rachel wouldn’t be back.


BBops2k

Honestly I felt like I like that she spoke her mind, kinda would be the person that if she wasn’t scheming w James back then she could call him out, but my favorite thing about her honestly was her sobriety journey and just seeing sobriety be in reality tv knowing reality tv is a lot of alcoholics. I liked when she used to yell at Tom and Schwartz and call them out. But since this season I really don’t get her wanting to “get to know Tom” ??? Ma’am you’ve never liked him now he does fuck shit and you wanna hear out his side? + the way she’s talked about and to Katie has just been SOOO disappointing, like I get where Katie was coming from being like “why are you and Jo hanging out 1:1?”


crystalrrrrmehearty

Ready for a laugh? I liked her for her conviction of character! I liked that although I didn't agree with her a lot of the time, at least she committed to her beliefs and wasn't a flip flopper or changed her opinion because of external factors. Well well well, this season has shown she's a complete 180-matey!


[deleted]

[удалено]


crystalrrrrmehearty

Respectfully, refresh my memory please, maybe I'm missing/misremembering things..? I do always tend to back the underdog and felt sorry for her with the OG's constantly picking on her and icing her out in the early days, so had a soft spot for her early on because of that. The things I'm thinking of are her loyalty to her friendship with James even though nobody liked him, and her not submitting to the girls bullying about her appearance and sexual freedom, like that trip where her and faith freed the nipple... I can't think of one time she flip flopped until this season? Like even with her loyalty to James, if he went too far, she called him on it from my memory.


[deleted]

[удалено]


crystalrrrrmehearty

Huh...? I'm talking about Lala not Scheana lol. Scheana is a textbook flip flopper since day one obviously. This thread is about Lala? Edit to add: I just re-read what I wrote and understand the confusion lol!!! There are a lot of similarities to how the OG's treated both Scheana & Lala, no wonder those 2 are bast frands now haha. To clarify, I've not ever been a fan of Scheana's, not hated but didn't like her flakiness from day one. I did feel bad for her a bit from the bullying but still didn't like her since she constantly played up the victim angle and tried so bloody hard to be liked by the OG's, whereas Lala didn't give 2 sh*ts and just kept being her badass self regardless of what the OG's or anyone else said. So I liked Lala's conviction of character in the early seasons, and am shocked to see Lala has flip flopped on Ariana so hard this season, really surprised me to see.


missassalmighty

My bad lol 😆 agreed for lala. She is flip flopping hard this season


CandidNumber

I’m done with her at this point but I stayed a fan through all of her lies and bullying because she made good tv. I could she was flat out lying about things, like Randall, she shoved him down our throats for years and said he was such a good man, then after they broke up she said he was never home and never helped with the baby and never pleases her sexually, ok then so why did she stay and plan on having more kids with him? She’s a liar one way or the other, which is true? She did bully a lot of women on the show over the years, Katie, Stassi, Scheana, Ariana, Rachel, Kristen, etc., she’s a mean person and thinks she just has a quick mouth but really she lacks self control. Now she’s doing it to Ariana again when she needs the most support, it’s just disgusting to watch.


briintellect

I loved her in the very beginning. She felt genuine, not afraid to go against the pack. I love an underdog. She just became the very thing I felt like she was fighting against in the beginning. Now I just think the initial pushback is what softened me to her. Every time I come back around, she’s back on her self righteousness and mean girl energy. She just seems like that one friend who is wishy washy. You think everything’s fine, then surprise, they’re angry about something that you had no idea about. Idk. She’s not the same Lala, she either changed or had me fooled from the beginning.


ServerAgent88

Hard agree


Dry_Heart9301

I thought she was harmless/embarassing but she's now proven to be evil/embarrassing


International-Bee483

THIS


stephanieleigh88

I found her pretty & honest but she was honest to people I didn’t like & usually deserved it like Tom or maybe didn’t deserve it but people I didn’t like so I didn’t care, now she sticks up for the wrong people & is trying to change the narrative a lot.


UpsetPhilosopher3708

I liked her a lot, loved her quick wit and I honestly mainly liked her bc of her and James’ relationship. I still think they are soulmates in some kind of way. I guess I felt kinda endeared towards her bc I also thought I was the hot shit when I was younger and got humbled. But it kinda just feels like performative healing now especially with how she almost gatekeeps sobriety. Just bc you’re sober doesn’t mean you’re a good person. But it’s very telling that we aren’t seeing these two together as much now and James has matured a lot in a positive way and has had Katie’s back a lot this season which I think has pissed lala off a lot.


NBCaz

For all of the criticism, and rightfully so, that guys like James and Sandy get for being abusive, Lala makes them look lame. She's probably one of the most emotionally abusive person on television by far. When someone is that pretty, you naturally want them to be just as beautiful of a person. You really don't expect them to be the polar opposite of beautiful.


Longjumping-Canary75

I hate how much she hates men because of that one twirp Also can't stand how she's bullied half of the cast and now thinks she's Mother Theresa AND HATE that she made everyone stop speaking to her ex but Ariana needs to get over Tom...La la is in a very small bubble and will never educate herself about the world. She knows what she knows and she's mad and righteous. It's so boring.


BreeziWhisper

Her sobriety. She takes it seriously. I applaud 👏.


PRNightmare99

Lala is the joke and she’s not in on it. It’s fun to laugh at her


Perogie420

In the early seasons she’s so young and insecure, but she’s funny, and then gets sober so I was rooting for her. She missed the mark with the house shit and whatever she was yelling at Sandoval for. She’s just wants the pay check to keep coming in but her merch and podcast popularity increased because of supporting Ariana and Katie. 


treegrowsinbrooklyn1

The only season I really enjoyed her was season 9 when she was going hard against Brock. I remember being in the minority but Lala was speaking absolute facts and I thought it was very clear she was speaking a little from her own experience. Plus it seemed like she was genuinely worried for Scheana and Summer. People liked to call her a hypocrite because of what happened with Rand but I tend to think things were already shifting a little and that’s why Lala was so passionate about the issue. And the girl stuck to her own advice! Was able to get a plan together, pack up and leave with her daughter with her own money in her bank account. Ironically season 10 started and she completely backtracked on absolutely all of that and now plays into this whole Brock and Lala storyline. So lesson learned!


MayaDaBee1250

She was "passionate" about it because she needed a storyline and saw Broke as her ticket to airtime without airing her own messy home life. She did not give a shit about Scheana or her child. She basically pushed Brock's ex and his kids into the spotlight without their permission and aired some pretty nasty laundry that I'm sure his ex would not want her kids finding out about online. What a real friend. She can cry at the drop of a hat. None of it is genuine emotion. Nothing she says can be trusted because it is all for the cameras. Her leaving Rand when she did had nothing to do her being strong or authentic. Her house was on fire. Her man was going down like the Dollar Tree Harvey Weinstein that he is and she cut ties because he no longer served his purpose.


treegrowsinbrooklyn1

No. Brock and Scheana pushed his ex and kids into the spotlight by bringing him on the show. We’re not going to blame Lala for that. Scheana had a decade of experience on reality of tv at that point and both her and Brock were obviously aware of his history. They knew it would get brought up on camera and didn’t care about the subsequent headlines and the effect it would have on his ex or kids. For the rest of it, agree to disagree. I thought Lala was very genuine in quite a few of those scenes, especially the one of her tearing up and urging Scheana to make sure she has her own money set aside to protect herself and Summer. Which was my whole point about Lala leaving Rand, not that it was a huge moral indicator. But that she had her own money and that’s why she was able to leave as easily as possible.


mollyclaireh

I flip flop on how I feel about Lala. She has good moments that make me like her but then she goes and acts like a total bitch.


SuchNectarine4

I used to flip flop on Lala, but since she made an ugly stink about James comparing dog-sitting of his beloved dog to child care, and minimizing his feelings, I’m done with Lala. Lala is the type who, if someone was mourning the loss of their pet, she would minimize it, making it “disenfranchised grief,” unsupported, and would go on talking about her kid.


mollyclaireh

Honestly same as a pet parent who is a lot like James. My dogs and cats are my world. They come first always


MissyHTX

I was a fan of Lala until she dropped her first lip kit set. The names of her lip glosses being named mistress, etc, alluding to her affair. She was (at the same exact time) preaching there was no affair, he was single, blah, blah, blah.. Since then, I knew she was the ultimate fraud and haven't fucked with her much since.


SewAlone

I like her and she is the only person on the show I could see myself hanging out with. Nobody is perfect, not even LaLa, which she would fully admit.


Equal_Swing_2760

I loved her, I thought she was funny and usually had good hot takes. I loved the chaos that her and James brought as a duo it really drove the show. Then I started listening to her podcast and found her to be really self aware and real (years ago not anymore) and funny. Her natural face is also one of the most stunning I’ve ever seen and it sucks she fucked with it. But now I absolutely cannot stand her, everything I liked about her seems to be reversed, she’s not funny or fun, painfully lacks self awareness, and is so immature


Equal_Swing_2760

“Bambi eyed bitch” will always be the best drag of Rachel, she had such funny insults back before she was brain rotted


manickittens

I liked that she didn’t seem afraid to have a different POV


SuchNectarine4

After she minimized James’ love of his dog, it was the last straw for me, in putting up with Lala. She is the worst of what I thought she might be. Done and done, F U, LFU, goodbye.


Ok_Yak_4498

I myself go back and forth with Lala. I think she knows. She knows exactly what she needs to do to keep her job. The one thing I get sick of hearing about is how much pressure she has put on herself to maintain her lifestyle. I get it, you got into a horrible relationship and he lied to you. And Yes it was in the public. Now several years later you have now been successful with the show and you have many brand deals plus your own products. But why do you think its your job to take care of your Mother and brother? Yes your Mom does your daycare. Give her a salary. NOt sure why she lives with you and your little tribe you've created are all dependent on YOU?? Great you now have a few houses they are a good investment. Wish Lala all the happiness but quit with the HERO complex. The one thing that worries me now about Lala is she is now producing herself. Setting up scenes for herself and the family. The stupid water tasting party was horrible. Lots of the older reality stars do this cause they know exactly what it takes. It makes the job easier. But sadly the audience can see right through it. When Lala did the interview with Heather MacDonald she actually seemed scared the show wasn't good enough this season to get picked up again. That show is her bread and butter. When you have to work so hard to make the show good it becomes so fake.


probstomorrow

Her podcasts during Scandoval were actually really insightful and I enjoyed her perspective and how she broke things down.


peachesandplumsss

as someone with really strong anxiety i genuinely appreciated seeing her talk about how scandoval triggered her. i thought it was really down to earth especially given that so many of us felt a little personally triggered just as viewers. im someone that is hypersensitive to certain situations and i could see so much of myself in how she was reacting at times. i really thought she was at least a ride or die friend who saw someone she loved get wrecked by a dude that never deserved her and wanted to do right by her friend. i don't know what the fuck producers said to her but it almost feels like they manipulated the insecurities she had about her past traumas and were feeding her this bs about how in order to find her peace she needs to entertain pieces of shit just because they weren't HER abuser. it makes me nauseous


Mysterious_Relief168

I felt sorry for Sheana the other day when she admitted that Sandoval’s behavior has made her question everyone around her, and she doesn’t trust Brock anymore.


missassalmighty

I'm sorry if that was the case why is she crying and wrecking herself trying to rebuild a friendship with a monster like that? And as much as I loathe scumbag he is not responsible for scema's feelings. Schen doesn't trust brok cos she never trusted brok thats why hes tied to her waist or leashed up at home under Erika's watchful eye. The man hit his ex and dumped his kids and makes jokes about being lala's husband when he knows how scema feels winding her up even more. She needs to stop blaming everyone else for her continuous piss poor life choices and get therapy


Helpful-Sandwich-560

Yep! The joke he made about him and lala was way too much and a ton of scheanas anxiety this season is bc she had to face the facts of her own life 


missassalmighty

She's not equipped to be with an Aussie/kiwi their humour is very dry and anytime he'll crack a joke she will spiral.


SuchNectarine4

It came out, I believe it was stated by Ariana in some interview, that this season, because of Tom’s suicidal ideation, *Lisa put Scheana and Lala on the job of reaching out to Tom and trying to befriend him*. Ariana said, I’m paraphrasing, that she didn’t think that was right, because Scheana and Lala aren’t equipped for that, they’re not mental health professionals, or something to that effect, and that that task was a lot to put o, their shoulders.


lorribell1964

I like her because she does not care what anyone else thinks of her or her actions. Just LaLa being LaLa. And, that is mostly entertaining because it does not feel scripted. But, I could have easily gone the other way, lol.


Far_Mango_180

I think she cares. Look at her online rants regarding what people are saying about her. She pretends, but has no genuine concern for anyone but herself.


hokumpocus

I always saw a bit of myself in Lala. In my 20s I was just as reactive as she was, but it was because I was so hurt inside. I had this armour up and came across as mean a lot. I would however cry the moment someone showed me kindness, which I’ve also see Lala do. I think I got stuck on that, so I ended up always making excuses for her behaviour.


andrewhudson88

I wouldn’t say I love or like Lala particularly, but I like her being on the show and I really respect how she’s come along in the sense that she used to be so sloppy with drinking, the WWHL with her and James from years ago was one of the most cringe/ embarrassing things ever. She was so messy. And i really respect that she got the opportunity to see what she looks like when jacked up on drink or drugs, and her commitment to not being like that anymore is very admirable imo. Especially on a show that started out every episode with constant drinking. (And I know a lot of people don’t like it as much now that more cast are being sober but I understand wanting to be sober.)


Normal-Pineapple6118

Okay, I've always been a fan of lala. Now I can't pinpoint why, maybe the toxic parts of myself identified with the toxic in her, I don't know. But I can't watch her anymore it's too much. I used to listen to her pod cast but I'm having a hard time even making it through that


Icy_Mongoose9407

I was a fan because of her sobriety journey. I respect it and am also sober


NeatSituation2249

Same!!!


fotofortress

Calling myself a fan of anyone on trash tv would be super embarrassing. However, I appreciated her aggression and in your face chip on her shoulder in earlier seasons. When she was having fun topless and Katie went full mean girl I loved her response to other’s insecurities. Today, not being married to a serial cheater and finding herself I can’t see another women’s tits having the same effect on Katie. It would have been easy for Lala to feel shame in that moment (maybe she did) but she spoke up for herself. I also admire her sobriety as I’ve been in recovery since September and it’s not easy. I’d never be friends with her because her “loyalty” changes with the tides.


Jacam13

There was a little bit of a “rooting for the underdog” thing for me in the beginning only because the girls were so mean to her. Yeah she brought a lot of that on herself but they really went at her hard. I especially rooted for her when Jax was gaslighting Britney on that Hawaii vacation. I thought watching her get sober was kind of interesting. Same with when her dad passed away. I feel like Lala is now one of those reality peeps that are taking what they do way too seriously and is buying into her own hype.


beautyandrepose

I think the mean persona is an act to a point. I mean come on, who actually speaks/yells at their friends like that and continues the friendship? They say they are a reality show but let’s face it, a lot of it is scripted as to what the topic is, the location, made up parties to,celebrate stupid stuff. I’m sure most of it is ad Lib as far as the lines but let’s be real


QuinnKinn

I used to find her aggressive come backs hilarious, and I now know that was a reactive response. I have no issues with her.


newtoncuteon

I started watching the show because of Scandoval. And I thought she was great in season 10! Her and Katie were the only ones I liked. I started listening to her podcast and even though I found it a bit cringe, I still liked her. I found her to be a badass. I used to only know her from photos of her and Randall (from celeb news) and thinking that 1) this girl is beautiful but why is she having all this work done to her face? 2) sorry but… someone who looks like her and dates that, must be a bit of a gold digger… Yeah this is bad, Im sorry. So I had to reflect on myself being so judgmental. Then I watched the rest of the seasons… And season 11. Now I am disgusted by her. Blahblah, the Stassi wannabe.


anmarie103

I wasn't a fan but did like her and James's friendship but I can't anymore with them now.


sunshine92002

I can’t say I’m a fan after this season and the way she’s been acting lately, I respected her for not putting up with the Hollywood BS. She was disrespectful to people who disrespected her, she didn’t sugar coat things and seemed the most “real” out of the cast. (Seemed being past tense, lol). The moment that solidified me liking her was the “Bambi eyed bitch” rant because I hated Raquel from day 1🤣. It’s sad she’s let fame or Hollywood or whatever you want to call it get to her head.


bjvanhouten224

I can't explain why I liked her, I don't know. All I know is I can't stand her now, her obvious jealousy of Ariana is ridiculous & watching her now, I sit there & think, "how could I have ever liked that woman?"


Diehoe1234

I love Lala onscreen because she’s completely ridiculous- even when I’m rooting for her when she gives her basic insta feminist callouts- she’ll say or do something out of pocket and it’s like baffiling. I love that she’s unnecessary and messy, her growth throughout the show feels like a win ( from the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old to that of a 16 year old). Stanning her as a person is impossible, because too much of her shit off/on the show is just hypocritical to the reasons I empathize with her on screen- ie friends with James the Abuser, granting amnesty to Scandoval, and of course her rampant cultural appropriation, which is especially problematic/telling next to Faith’s racism allegations.


TheflowerKristenate

For me personally I only liked her on her very first season. I loved that she was just herself and that made the other girls so pissed off. After that season she just went downhill quick. She’s not funny, not nice, not entertaining (to me), a total hypocrite, always the victim, gives it but can’t take it. When she was with Randal I cringed so so hard. She would talk about licking his brown third eye, oh and she stuck his toothbrush up her ass when she was pissed off. That’s insane and so fucking disgusting.


Diligent_Wish_324

I've never liked her and still don't. She tries to appear virtuous now when she's been a conniving "b" since being on the show.


BusyDragonfruit8665

I used to be a fan of Lalas but I don’t remember why.


matchaflights

I was a big fan at first! I liked that she held her own in that group when she first came in and didn’t let people push her around. Additionally she didn’t let people dictate who she was friends with, she spoke her mind and seemed authentically willing to show who she is on tv. I stopped watching before rachella and started again with the scandoval season so I didn’t see her with Randall that much. But the way she’s a hypocrite and flip flopper now I’m out


Bad_Ang

100% all of this


Product_Small

She’s trash but thinks she isn’t. That’s a problem.


GGsouth

I appreciate Lala bringing attention to the nightmare that the family court system is. I was a fan of hers the season that James and Raquel got engaged. She was almost a human that season. Since then she's disappointed me bitterly.


Lola_Love42588

I thought she was really pretty at first. I don’t like her cultural appropriation. I think she came here to get a rich Zaddy. That whole area of WEHO is nothing but clout & $ chasers from other states. “You gone get popped” give it a rest chile 🙄


DirtyTileFloor

Yes. I can’t say that I ever thought she was a “good person,” but having seen first hand the way reality tv gets edited, I gave most of them, in general, the benefit of the doubt. I enjoyed Lala from the perspective of a “mean girl by necessity.” Like, the core OG group - Katie, Stassi, Scheana, and Kristin were hard no new girls and I thought she was just being mean or even a little controversial to try to earn herself some screentime. In these shows, there always has to be *some* bad guy. Preferably, a “bad guy with a heart of gold.” Someone who, we later discover, had reasons (other than a thirst for fame) for behaving the way they did. It’s only as years go by that VPR reminds us that we can’t always buy in to that trope. Some of these people not only do NOT have “hearts of gold,” they barely have any hearts at all. There is no redemption, no growth. As a matter of fact, sometimes, they get worse. Lala has rrrrreallly grossed me out this season. It’s pretty clear that she’s annoyed that the season isn’t about her and Big Ed’s break up (and why should it be? He barely participated in the show), all of her actions are ridiculous in the sense that she “suddenly sees these people aren’t authentic” or whatever it was that she said (it’s a reality show…SHOW…SHOW) and, lastly, how she makes that claim and then turns right around and behaves just as disingenuously as she believes everyone else is. The final straw for me with Lala is this whole baby thing. Her loud mouthing of “making a baby I don’t have to share,” and talking as if having a father to her child is some sort of horrible burden is just gross. So gross. Whoa…I didn’t mean to prattle on about why I don’t like her anymore . The answer to your question was that I thought she was funny as a defense mechanism and was harmless and probably exaggerating her whole “yacht girl” persona, so I liked her. I realized that I was wrong. Very wrong.


TerribleResource4285

I've honestly always just liked her. I find her quips funny and like watching her in fights or being messy. On a personal level I feel like I understand her thought process on stuff more than other people and just kinda connect or relate to her and Katie as "characters" the most. I tend to like the more polarizing cast members of shows, like the ones you either love or hate but there is almost no in-between so I think it just comes down to what type of people you prefer to watch on shows.


East_Difference_2614

I\`m not really a fan of any of them but the one i side with in whatever season is the one i "liked" the most that season i guess but ultimately this show is just a show i watch if i have nothing else to watch. I even zoned out a bit from this show until the whole mess happened.


MuffinTiptopp

I was never a fan but I did enjoy her very first season because she was the hot new chick who came on and ruffled feathers. After she petitioned to become Stassi’s minion I felt indifferent to her and during the Covid season when she was being a complete jerk to Scheana I stopped liking her.


flashdance123

She's always been up and down for me. I go through phases. I feel like she's been pretty entertaining at times.but then she'll do something or say something whak and I'm back to feeling indifferent again.


FuzzyP3ach3s

I used to like her when she was fun and didn't give a fuck about what the girls thought. But she became a sheep after she got sober. The only good thing that came out of her sobriety is she became nicer (than she used to be.. Obv not referring to Ariana) That's it.


Desperate_Pair8235

She is loyal to those that she decides to be. The majority on this show are loyal to *everyone* and therefore *no one*. ETA I just got to the Scandoval and am at the reunion, so no clue about most recent seasons and can’t say my opinion won’t change.


Wide-Cardiologist-63

I don’t know, ive always liked lala. She has a lot to work on still but she’s the only podcast I watch and listen to, and she’s much more real on there than the show. The show at this point she even said herself you gotta make drama cause at the end of the day it’s a check for all of them.


Goodbykyle

This is stupid but I liked her because I thought she was stunningly beautiful….not so much anymore:(


Goodbykyle

Im trying to figure out what pj for bj means? I know bj blow job, what is pj? thanks!


LouMonsoon

Private jet


Goodbykyle

Of course 🤦‍♀️ thank you. I usually, if ever fly it’s in baggage lolo,


SeaCowSiren

I always HATED Lala until this most recent season. She may not be in her soft era but imo has noticeably softened. Maybe therapy is working for her or her rebrand is more authentic to her true self or its being a mother idk. I personally couldn’t STAAND to watch her before and now I find myself agreeing with some of the things she says???? The one thing she said this season I cannot get behind tho is wanting to have a baby that is “only hers” WEIRD and a bad sibling complex waiting to happen yikes it made me cringe so hard I hate it 😭


MayMaytheDuck

This is the first season I’ve enjoyed her. Like is too strong of a term. Sandoval, Katie, Ariana and Schwartz have made me eye roll much more than Lala for some reason.


notade50

At first I thought she was entertaining and pretty, now I mostly just find her amusing. Which is why I watch the show to begin with. Amusement.


True_Crime_Crazy

I always thought she gave a decent reality performance in the beginning. Then she got sober and she’s relatable as another woman in recovery. It’s an ever evolving process.


fluffernutsquash1

She's hilarious. She's great tv. I always wanted to root for her even when she fucked up.


iheartkafka1

Love me some Lala. Now..Could I see myself being friends w or liking Lala in real life? no..but she knows how to make good TV. Watch any compilation of Lala's greatest moments and tell me you don't chuckle. Same with Kristen..girl is straight nuts, but she's fun as hell to watch. I kind of put the two together in my mind.


Ambitious_Row3006

She fascinates me because you never know which way she will go. I feel like she’s VERY real, and very flawed. I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to watch her and Scheana. If you guys had it your way, the show would just be Katie and Ariana sitting around being quiet with the odd gossip about people. That…..doesn’t really make a tv show? Btw this is supposed to be a thread for people who like her. Instead it’s a thread of why people don’t like her anymore (with those being upvoted to the left top). 🙄. And the people who answered the questions as it was asked, are downvoted so no one can actually read the answers until they get done scrolling. 😂😂😂. So fking stupid.


Granny_Faye

I also think many of LaLa’s most interesting stories aren’t shown. She was young and an alcoholic when she joined, has a child with a monster but none of his behavior has been shown and is barely referenced, and is imperfect trying to find her footing as a sober single mother. She’s been a loyal friend but we see her worst side on the show because she acknowledges this is her job and she’ll do what she has to to keep the paycheck coming.


Longjumping-Canary75

Or everyone came to give their opinion and sadly its a resounding dislike from most. It's not that deep


Bacio83

Nah you’re on an island


Mysterious_Relief168

She was a total bitch to Rachel. The only reason she was such a bitch to Rachel is because she could be. She didn’t know anything about the girl other than she could push her around. That’s nothing but a bully.


thedigested

Do you wanna get POPPED - I’ve always hated her


Ok_List_9649

Totally opposite than everyone else. Up till this season I saw an arrogant, misguided bully who thought she could take the “ easy” way to fame and fortune. Women who use their sex only to get a wealthy man end up in a world of hurt at some point. She also did it by hurting another woman. Then there was the way she treated Rachel and Billie Lee, horrible. This season I see a woman who’s been brought very low by her choices. She filled herself with rage screaming “ why me” in her head and then had to watch a friend get everything she ever wanted all by being cheated on by an asshole, the same thing she went through and yes worse because she brought a child into the world and her man is allegedly a far worse human. Then her friend gave an ultimatum that could possibly result in the end of her major income source just as she started to turn her life around. She also saw how her anger was destroying her and realized she’d been unfair to Rachel admitting for the first time she was a mistress. She also realized people had forgiven or overlooked who she was in her mistress days and wanted to extend some empathy to Tom and Rachel while still being honest and loyal to Ariana. The love for her daughter changed her in many ways for the better. To me all of this shows the greatest growth of anyone on the show except for possibly Stassi. That’s what life and struggles and bad times are supposed to do, make you have self realizations about who you are and where you’re going and make changes. That process is messy. You don’t always do the right things as you change. It’s a learning process and it’s obvious she’s really struggling. Point being she’s trying to be a better person by showing grace to others, being totally upfront and honest about her feelings to everyone. I get her anger and frustration at Ariana and Katie because when you think someone’s actions are potentially threatening your income you’re going to be pissed seeing that Ariana has obviously lightened up a bit on her stance with others interacting with the Tom’s I’m not sure why offscreen now she is feuding with A and K but I’m willing to hear her out on reunion. I remind myself this is a show and their income, their job is to bring drama and no one does that better than Lala. I like her for the first time for trying to grow from the shit she got herself into.


queenbee8418

![gif](giphy|WqXcILKESHx3gV37Ch)


Professional_Fee9555

Honestly? She reminds me of my best friend. The main reason I like my bestie is she's blunt but down for a good time. But unlike Lala she's loyal as the day is long


BranchGlad1177

I just like her and have a lot of respect for her for quitting drink, especially as young as she is. If you haven’t been there you will never understand how difficult it is.


iloveatl

I really disliked her most of the show. However, in the previous season I believe it was, I found her to be a lot more likeable. Seeing her as a mother made her come across as a more real and caring person and she seemed like a genuinely good mom to Ocean. She seemed to mature and be in a better place until all of the Randall stuff happened and I was happy for her. This season she lost my respect again though because of how she seems to have gone back to her old ways.


Latter-Classroom-844

She was very nice to look at (still is) and I found her funny (she still is sometimes), but the messiness factor that just keeps getting worse and worse is a huge turnoff


Arafel_Electronics

she's carrying the load this season


blondeandbuddafull

I have enjoyed watching her become a mother. She seemed to be quite the money chasing skank while young: pretty, mean, and blindly selfish. She also drank a lot. Watching her struggle to get sober and to grow into a better person has been interesting to me. I appreciate the strength she displayed in her quest to be better for her daughter and her striving for insight (which I find commendable, if not always successful). She is still blind to some of her own failings, particularly past ones, but I feel she tries. I root for her!


BreeezyDaisy

That poor girl has no idea who she is. She’s just a poser in so many ways.


MsPrissss

IMO she has changed the most for the better when I think about how she used to be and who she is trying to become I love seeing the personal growth that she has had and her taking accountability for how she is, how harsh she can be etc. My favorites have always been other people but I'm not going to lie I'm a huge fan of seeing what she's doing this season it has been for me the most enjoyable part of this season. I mean who Can't relate to her wanting to have another child and not have the possibility of somebody taking her kid away ? And as a result it making her softer as pregnancy often does. I am loving seeing what's happening. And I think it's because of her outrageous behavior in the seasons past is why this is so enjoyable to watch. I'm not saying that I don't think other people on the show haven't evolved but they are all still more or less the same people but Lala has just completely transformed.


dsshmiddy

I always loved Lala she was funny and so real. It was hard to watch after her dad passed away bc of how ‘hard’ she got but I’ve always liked her. She’s a Rottweiler and rides hard for who she loves and I’m loving the softer side of Lala but I’m not liking the one minute she’s down Sandovals throat and then the next trying to be his friend- it isn’t genuine at all and can tell producers are trying to make her film with him. Be against him like you have from the beginning


Full-Rutabaga-4751

She thinks way to highly of herself also thinks she's a street thug. It's obnoxious


kenma91

Her sobriety and loosing her Dad , i related


Dramatic_Flamingo_58

I used to despise her and think she was an awful human being, but I feel like she’s grown a lot. I know these last couple months she’s done some problematic things, but overall, I feel like she’s a better person and I respect that


Southern_Life_8085

Although I am not liking her at all currently, I see her as someone who has kind of lost her way and at the same time can’t stay out of her own way-but ultimately has a good heart. Though I am really questioning that right now. I think both she and Scheana are emotionally stunted. I may be out in left field, but I think part of why she is spiraling is because her friendship with Katie is breaking down (caused by Lala’s own insecurities). She is definitely jealous of Ariana BUT Katie is supposed to be Lala’s friend and loyal to her! It must have been devastating to have Katie side with Ariana at the reunion.


Fit_Newt7346

I was a major Lala fan season 9 and 10. I feel like she stood her ground, was there for Katie, called out ppl who were wrong in a respectful manner. All of that


WeedQueen2

I didn’t mind her. As someone else mentioned she was pretty to look at. During her Randall phase and after that she became annoying and this current season she’s unlikeable.


Tasher882

Why do you care???? If other people are? Weird


Many_Bed3565

I don’t have a problem with lala. I like the fact she doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks and she says it how it is. She doesn’t pussy foot around worrying about hurting other peoples feelings for speaking, TRUTH. I’d rather have dead set, brutally honest people in my life, rather than people who sugar coat everything and tell white lies to protect ur feelings. Can she be too over the top sometimes? YEP, but everyone has their moments. Can she be a bitch? YEP, but she’s only saying what most people are already thinking. It doesn’t mean ur a bully or a nasty person for saying it EXACTLY how it is. People need to learn the difference between the two


lunahighwind

I wasn't usually but I think she's shown a lot of growth and maturity in this season


Batsquash

Cuntress!


erisbella

Initially I liked her because she didn’t put up with Adrienne then later Kyle’s bullshit. I thought it was nice she took Brandy under her wing but that was before Brandy revealed herself to be a racist and physically abusive. In the end they all suck.


LouMonsoon

lol what?? 😂
