Vanderpump Rules: Lala Kent Calls Out Raquel Leviss Over $1k Gig Scoffing

You might have already heard about the ongoing drama between Lala Kent and Raquel Leviss, but if not, buckle up, because it’s quite the rollercoaster ride! Lala recently called out Raquel for scoffing at a $1,000 gig when they collaborated on the “Bambi-Eyed B*tch” makeup palette for Lala’s brand, Give Them Lala. Let’s break down what happened and why it matters.

Scandoval Scandal Shakes Up Vanderpump Rules

As any Vanderpump Rules fan knows, Lala Kent and Raquel Leviss have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the years. Their tumultuous friendship took another hit when news of the Scandoval scandal broke. Lala, never one to shy away from controversy, immediately slashed the price of her Bambi-Eyed makeup palette, which she co-created with Raquel.

Clearance, Sold Out, and Burned Bridges

The Bambi-Eyed B*tch palette, featuring a collection of nude eyeshadows, was a nod to Lala’s infamous insult directed at her frenemy. When the cheating scandal news surfaced, Lala wasted no time announcing on her Instagram story, “EVERYTHING MUST GO,” accompanied by a screenshot of the palette on clearance.

A week later, Lala shared an update with her fans, revealing that the palette had sold out. While she expressed relief that she wouldn’t have to burn any leftover stock, it’s evident that she and Raquel won’t be working together again any time soon.

Behind-the-Scenes Drama on Give Them Lala Podcast

On a recent episode of Lala’s Give Them Lala podcast, she dished on how the collaboration with Raquel came to be. According to Lala, Raquel was offered $1,000 for a two-hour shoot, during which they both sported long blonde hair and white flowing dresses, looking stunning with bronzed and highlighted skin.

Raquel’s Disappointment with the Pay

However, Raquel wasn’t happy with the $1,000 offer and scoffed at the proposed wage. Lala found this attitude offensive, particularly given that the shoot took place during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when countless people had lost their jobs. Lala argued that many people would be thrilled to make $1,000 for a two-hour gig in such challenging times.

The Issue of Fair Pay and Woman-Owned Businesses

Lala Kent stood firm in her belief that the pay offered was fair and, as the owner of a woman-owned business, she emphasized the importance of fair compensation for work. She felt that Raquel was acting as if she were a supermodel who deserved a million-dollar paycheck. Despite her disagreement with the wage, Raquel eventually participated in the shoot.

What Does This Mean for Lala and Raquel’s Relationship?

Given the tumultuous past shared by these two reality show personalities, it’s reasonable to conclude that the bond between Lala and Raquel is currently quite fragile. The recent drama surrounding the makeup palette collaboration and Raquel’s reaction to the pay has only added fuel to the fire. It seems unlikely that they will collaborate on any future projects together.

A Lesson in Gratitude and Humility

The feud between Lala Kent and Raquel Leviss serves as a reminder of the importance of gratitude and humility in both personal and professional relationships. Though it’s impossible to foresee how their camaraderie will progress, there’s no doubt that the realm of reality television consistently delivers an abundance of drama – with this scenario being no different. Time will reveal the development or potential unraveling of their connection.
