Drama? Check. Shades? Double Check. Vanderpump Rules star Lala’s debut is only adding to the chaotic environment already in The Valley season 3. Lala acts with her unfiltered thoughts as the long-running feud between Kristen Doute and Janet Caperna continues, and we can assure you that she’s not going to hold back.
The upcoming season has everything reality TV fans are looking forward to, including broken friendships, awkward run-ins, and emotional fallout. And in the middle of it all? It’s obvious that Lala is done ‘playing mum’ and is ready to drink the tea, or spill it. Will she be a peacemaker or will she only make things worse? Could her bold approach bring Kristen and Janet to peace, or complete chaos?

The long-running fight between Kristen Doute and Janet Caperna didn’t develop overnight. After a major conflict between Kristen, Michelle Saniei, and Jesse Lalley in Season 1, Episode 6, things initially went badly. Janet and her husband Jason were forced to cut all ties with Kristen after that incident. Janet even admitted that she chose to remove herself from others throughout her pregnancy, citing a need for calm and fewer stressful situations.
But when controversial comments regarding Janet’s pregnancy appeared in a podcast, the drama only became worse. Kristen felt left out of Zack Wickham’s words. Since then, their friendship has been in danger as tension has grown, resulting in awkward Hawaii moments and missed celebrations.
Vanderpump Rules star Lala responds to the drama right away. She reminds everyone that these aren’t casual friendships during the premiere teaser. These relationships have been developed over many years, even decades. But she believes that the past does not indicate harmony. In fact, she makes it quite evident that love and chaos are closely related. But Lala argues for a more positive approach, asking everyone to focus on the positive rather than dwell on the negative.
What’s going to happen between Kristen and Janet, meanwhile? Absolutely freezing. Luke Broderick, Kristen’s fiance, reveals that they haven’t communicated since the Season 2 reunion. Nothing, not a call, not a text. To be honest, it does show. Kristen no longer even tries to sugarcoat it. She openly admitted that Janet has gone too far and, in her opinion, is no longer real. Ouch.
However, the real drama began at Brittany Cartwright’s pool party, which was anything but relaxed. Janet remembers how, in a matter of seconds, the scene went from being wonderful to being really unsettling. One moment, Kristen was spending time with her baby, and the next, she was doubting Janet’s existence completely. Janet didn’t argue or escalate because she felt unwelcome. Choosing to avoid conflict, she quickly left after taking her son, Cameron.
She wasn’t comfortable with the consequences, though. Later, Janet scolded Brittany for failing to take action, especially when kids were involved. She expressed her frustration in text messages, even expressing how her son felt upset by the incident. Lala also made it clear that she is over the ongoing conflict, even though she agreed with Janet’s decision to leave. She wants fun, not arguments, after two years of forcing herself to be a parent.
It’s interesting to note that Lala and Kristen have experienced their own ups and downs. After a falling out in 2023, the two have then rebuilt their friendship. Kristen even praised Lala for taking responsibility for her mistakes and making a sincere effort to make things right. Their friendship seems stronger than ever now, since they have been together for 10 years and have grown together.
What does that mean for everyone else? The Valley Saeson 3 seems to be preparing for intense conflicts, emotional breakdowns, and perhaps – just possibly – an attempt at reconciliation, if this teaser is any indication. One thing is sure, though, with Lala Kent involved: the drama is just getting started. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more updates.
