Lala Kent said Raquel Leviss sought validation from men during an explosive argument on Wednesday’s episode of “Vanderpump Rules.”
“You know what I think? I think that your self-worth comes from approval of a man, which is very sad to me,” Kent told Leviss during a one-on-one conversation at Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding.
Kent told Leviss that she predicts the former beauty pageant queen is on the verge of a “mental breakdown” and she will need “some love” and “some support.”
“I always need love and support and I appreciate the people that give it to me,” Leviss replied, to which Kent fired back, “No, you appreciate people who bob their head and tell you that everything is good.”
The former friends got into the heated conversation while reflecting on the previous digs they had made about each other — including Leviss calling Kent a “mistress bimbo” and the “Row” actress telling Leviss that she would “never trust [her] around [her] man.”
“I just wanted to say, I feel bad about my comment that I made to you at the pool party,” Leviss said, referring to the “mistress bimbo” remark.
Kent, 32, admitted that she was “confused” about where that came from since she thought they had a “beautiful moment” when she comforted Leviss, 28, during a panic attack on the girls’ trip to Las Vegas.
Leviss explained that before that moment, she felt Kent — along with Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly — were “judging her” for being “a bit of a drunk mess” after a night out.
“I felt like I was being attacked,” Leviss told her, adding in a confessional that the “mean girl behavior” and “gaslighting” was “exhausting.”

Leviss then suggested that Kent get a “hobby” since all she can seem to do is “talk about me.”
“A hobby, bitch? I don’t care about this,” Kent fired back. “What I do care about is how you’ve affected my friend. I think it’s gross, I think it’s dirty, I think it’s disgusting and I think you need to go find yourself elsewhere. Be prepared.”
Kent was referring to Leviss making out with Tom Schwartz the night prior — who was in the midst of a divorce from Maloney.
Leviss and Schwartz’s kiss immediately created tension between the friend group, as some people thought it was fine for him to move on while others criticized him for doing so with one of their mutual friends.
However, their feelings towards the kiss ultimately diminished after Leviss’ months-long affair with Schwartz’s best friend, Tom Sandoval, was exposed last month.
Pvnew previously reported that Sandoval’s then-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, dumped him after discovering a sexually explicit video of Leviss on his phone on March 1.
The affair — since dubbed “Scandoval” — will play out in the current season, as well as on the highly anticipated “nuclear” reunion.
“Vanderpump Rules” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
