Lala Kent says there’s no end in sight for her custody battle with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett.
“His side is just so chaotic and I don’t see resolution coming anytime soon,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star, 33, exclusively told Pvnew Wednesday night at Bravo’s Season 11 premiere event in Los Angeles.
The mom of one — who shares daughter Ocean, 2, with the disgraced Hollywood producer, 52 — said the ongoing legal war over their toddler feels like a “nightmare.”
“I would like [its end] to come,” she added, “but we’re still in it.”
The Bravolebrity began fighting for full custody of Ocean as Emmett — who she dumped in October 2021 after he allegedly cheated — began facing a series of sordid allegations.
In December 2022, Emmett’s ex-wife, Ambyr Childers, claimed in court documents that he was being investigated by the FBI for “suspected child exploitation and pedophilia.”
The Los Angeles Times then reported that their outlet spoke to three other individuals who claimed the FBI had contacted them about the filmmaker’s activities, too.
However, Emmett denied the existence of said probe and told Pvnew at the time that the claims were both “disgusting and untrue.”
A series of more debauched allegations against Emmett previously came to light in the summer of 2022. The LA Times published a shocking exposé with claims ranging from so-called casting couch propositions to sending unsolicited messages to women about sex and drugs.
“There’s so many things out there about my ex, and I’m fighting every day, and it gets tiring, but I have to,” Kent said during an LA family court abuse protest in March 2023.
“My daughter’s future depends on it. And even after I protect her — because I will — you will catch me out here helping every father or mom who needs my help. I will not stop.”
The “Christmas Slay” singer has expressed her belief that Emmett doesn’t want to relinquish full legal custody of Ocean because it would allow the Give Them Lala Beauty CEO to film “Pump Rules” with their child.
Kent claims, however, that Emmett is willing to give her final say on education and health — which is “all I want,” she says — as there is no personal desire to put Ocean on camera.
In regard to Kent’s assessment of the custody disputes, a rep for Emmett tells Pvnew, “This is all untrue and we’re not commenting on it any further.”
While the back and forth over custody often feels debilitating to Kent, she is holding out hope for the future.
“I think it will end and it will end in a fantastic way, better than I could’ve imagined,” she says optimistically, acknowledging that she is “absolutely” manifesting the best outcome for her and her daughter.
“That’s what we’re doing in 2024,” she elaborates. “My psychic medium told me this is my year for all things. We’ll see if that’s true!”
“Vanderpump Rules” Season 11 premieres Tuesday, Jan. 30, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
