“I wrote it because I thought people would be that interested in my life story. I feel like since I signed on to Vanderpump, there was like a microscope on me that I was not used to,” the 30-year-old told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of her memoir’s release on Tuesday, May 4.
She further added by saying: “And I kept feeling like I needed to explain certain things. And then the whole thing with Randall came about and I felt like I was just walking into rooms with a Scarlet letter on me and just this heaviness of me needing to explain how it happened or why I am the way I am. And even though these things had happened a long time ago, I was still carrying them with me up until recently.”
Moreover, the “Vanderpump Rules” star gave details on everything from an abortion at 22, the “summer body” insult against Katie Maloney, and the story behind the infamous “pasta” line with James Kennedy.
After one argument during a trip to Miami, the Bravo star admits she took Emmett’s clothes, shoes and toiletries and tossed them into a pool “before taking his toothbrush and putting it in my a–hole for a minute.”
Later, when the movie producer was innocently brushing his teeth, Kent began to laugh. Emmett, 50, asked her why she was giggling, and she maliciously replied, “That toothbrush was just in my a–hole,” according to her retelling.
In the first chapter, she explained, “Reality TV plus slut-shaming plus alcohol turned young, sensitive, insecure Lauren Burningham into a badder, madder version of herself — Lala Kent.”
Give Them Lala tracks the journey from Lauren Burningham to Lauryn Burningham to Lauryn Kent to Lala Kent, the number of personas Lala’s taken on over the years. She’s sometimes all four women wrapped into one, at other times just one.
Kent and the producer of “The Irishman” got engaged in 2018. They welcomed daughter Ocean in March, joining Emmett’s two children from his previous marriage to actress Ambyr Childers.
