Lala Kent is responding to the backlash.
The 32-year-old reality star recently appeared in a photo alongside some of her Vanderpump Rules castmates, including her co-star Tom Sandoval.
When a fan shared the photo to social media, some took issue with Lala taking a picture with Tom given everything that had happened with him and his ex Ariana Madix.
In a video posted her Instagram Story, Lala defended her decision to appear in the photo and called out “stupid” haters for their comments.

“It, like, still blows my mind that people don’t realize we’re still filming a show,” Lala said as she watched TV with her co-star Scheana Shay.
She went on to say that she took the photo with Brock Davies, James Kennedy, Ally Lewber, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval at a fan’s request.
“What are we gonna be like, ‘No. Absolutely not.’ Like, no, ‘Happy birthday, let’s take a f–king picture,’” she said. “It’s called adulting.”
Scheana added, “We’re in a group. We’re all here. We hopped in a photo. You know what? I happened to be standing where I was standing. I take photos with strangers every f–king day. That’s how you take a photo. I stand like that. I smile. I tilt my head to my good side.”
Earlier this summer, Lala shared her thoughts on the explosive VPR season 10 reunion. Find out what she said here.
