Lala Kent reveals whether Bravo is re-editing ‘Pump Rules’ in light of Scandoval

Reality TV

If there’s one thing she’s doing amid the Scandoval, it’s continuing to Give Us Lala.

Ever-vocal “Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent shut down rumors that Bravo is re-editing episodes of the currently airing season in light of “narcissist” Tom Sandoval and “bottom feeder” Raquel Leviss’ recently revealed affair.

Acknowledging she “might get in trouble for saying this,” Kent, 32, took to her Instagram Story on Thursday “to say it anyway.”

“People are talking about how editors of ‘VPR’ probably went back through and tweaked things to kind of, like, align with what happened. Not true,” she said in the selfie-style video, as her soon-to-be 2-year-old daughter, Ocean, let out an adorable “yeah.”

“What you guys are gonna see this season, before we obviously know what we know now, was very much going to be the storyline of hers — not Ocean’s, but homegirl’s, you know who — with our without what just happened the last week.”

While Kent asserted that “nothing was re-edited,” she pointed out that fans will “view it very differently now.”

Reps for the network did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

So far, Season 10 of the reality show has focused primarily on Leviss’ romantic interest in Sandoval’s best friend-turned-business partner and Katie Maloney’s ex-husband, Tom Schwartz, whom we now know the former beauty pageant queen made out with while secretly hooking up with Sandoval.

In the latest episode, Leviss, 28, also locked lips with then-married Oliver Saunders, the eldest son of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Garcelle Beauvais.

The preview for next week’s episode shows Kent telling Leviss, “I will say this: You drinking — I would never trust you around my man,” to which the SUR server boldly responds, “Thank God you don’t have a man to, like, f–king have around.”

“Pump Rules” alum Stassi Schroeder believes Leviss’ hookups with Schwartz and Saunders were part of a “cover-up” for her months-long dalliance with Sandoval, which we’re told “began last summer.”

Sandoval’s long-term girlfriend and co-star, Ariana Madix, found out he had been cheating on her last week after discovering a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone.

Since then, Madix has dumped the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner and seemingly blocked the secret lovers on Instagram.

We’re told production picked back up as soon as news of the scandal broke and that the footage will be tacked on to the end of the season.

Insiders close to production shared that Sandoval, 40, and Madix, 37, have discussed his affair on camera and that she felt “gaslit” by the conversation.

Meanwhile, we’re told Sandoval and Leviss “kissed on camera” in their first post-Scandoval scene, filmed at the latter’s apartment.

Show alum Kristen Doute — who claims Schwartz, 40, found out about his pal’s illicit romance “a month ago” — has also returned to shoot a few scenes.

At this time, it’s unclear just how much of the demise of Leviss’ friendship with co-star Scheana Shay will be featured, given that the former has filed for a temporary restraining order against the latter.

Leviss alleged that Shay, 37, punched her in the face during a “heated confrontation” about the affair, even showing pictures of her supposed resulting injuries.

However, Shay’s attorney denied the claim, branding Leviss as “a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her.”

Per network honcho Andy Cohen, the cast is scheduled to film the reunion — which “Pump Rules” matriarch Lisa Vanderpump is dreading — before the end of the month.
