Katie Maloney’s beef with Lala and Tom

Vanderpump Rules is the hub of friendship group rifts especially when it comes to Katie Maloney and her pals. She and Lala Kent addressed their rocky friendship on each of their podcasts. On Maloney’s January 13 episode, she admitted that the “vibes are definitely off” between the duo.

On a January 18 episode of Give Them Lala, the Vanderpump star seemingly responded to Katie’s comments. Lala quipped: “So I guess the vibes are definitely off.” When Lala’s co-host asked if she was surprised, she answered, “after the DMs, I got from her the other day, not so much.” Referring to the backlash she got from Katie for not sending her a happy birthday message.

She also has drama going on with her former husband which she discussed on her January 13th podcast episode. In the clip, Katie answered the question: “Was this season hard to film because of the divorce and Tom’s questionable antics?” She responded: “You [expletive] bet it was. That was a huge thing because it was still a very tender subject, a very tender time in our lives. We were exploring and still kinda navigating the friendship between us, and that whole aspect of it all was still new to both of us.”

When Tom hooked up with Raquel, he and Katie had “barely moved out.” Then throwing some cameras into the mix, Katie reveals it was “definitely, definitely very difficult.”
