Transcript

[Jeff Lewis]

It's not easy being Jeff Lewis.

[Lala Kent]

Used to be when someone wronged me, I would go out of my way to retaliate and make them pay. I've never had anyone killed or anything like that. Most chumps are dumb, and dumb chumps make stupid decisions, me included. We offend people without money every day. Why here on this show?

[Jeff Lewis]

Don't do that. Jeff Lewis has Issues.

[Lala Kent]

Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Lala Camp, Mercedes, Javid and I discuss what I found on my roof and my new spray tan. Later, Lala gives us the tea on the Vanderpump Rules reunion taping and her theories about Tom Scandival. Quickly, I have to address Mercedes spent the night at my house last week. We didn't have as much fun as we should have because I was sick and I went to bed early. But neither one of us got any sleep because throughout the night, it was a very windy night. I have a flat roof on the house. The guest room's on the second floor. The primary's on the second floor.

[Jeff Lewis]

And you said, hey, if you want cats, then just don't close your door. Or if you want to make sure you don't have cats, close the door.

[Lala Kent]

Yes. Because you'll have kitties on your bed. Did you have kitties on your bed?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah. But also you said, don't open your sliding glass door because you were afraid that I was going to not know that the cats could get out, out, out, out.

[Lala Kent]

Right, right.

[Jeff Lewis]

So we had a full on conversation about that. I understand that your cats are safe with me sleeping in the house tonight.

[Lala Kent]

Okay, good. And then what happened was throughout the evening, I woke up many times because it sounded like I thought there was a cat toy. Like the cats were playing with a cat toy roll. What I thought was rolling along the wood floors. And I kept waking up, waking up. Turned out there was something on the roof that was being blown to one side of the roof and then the other side of the roof, but never.

[Jeff Lewis]

Off the roof, never off the roof.

[Lala Kent]

Never off the fucking roof. It just went over, over, over, over, and neither one of us slept. Well, it turns out yesterday when I was getting my spray tan on the rooftop deck, I found a fucking soccer ball up there.

[Jeff Lewis]

Shocker.

[Lala Kent]

A soccer ball. And that's what was rolling over and over and over all night.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, my God. Because it sounded just like a ping pong. If, I mean, like it's. If someone said, what was that? It's a cat playing with a ping pong.

[Lala Kent]

That's What I thought. And I was, like, cussing those cats out, but then it. They didn't do it.

[Jeff Lewis]

It wasn't them. Poor little kitties.

[Mercedes Javid]

Don't blame the kitties, Lala.

[James Kennedy]

I can't believe you have cats. I would not pin you as, like.

[Jeff Lewis]

A cat lady and a dog.

[Lala Kent]

Okay, I have two cats. I also have a dog and a kid.

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you have a fish?

[James Kennedy]

Okay, okay, less judgment.

[Lala Kent]

We had a fish. We had a fish. I started off. I did start off with cats. I had two cats, then a dog, then a dog, then a dog. Ended up with three dogs. Kitties. I'm not embarrassed, but I don't openly offer it to people. You know that. I have cats. You don't think I should.

[Mercedes Javid]

You sound embarrassed.

[Lala Kent]

There's no cats on my Instagram. Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

You can't smell them.

[Mercedes Javid]

We removed them.

[Lala Kent]

We removed. We took it out.

[Jeff Lewis]

No.

[James Kennedy]

Like, you can't think about an animal that shits in a box in your house. That freaks me out.

[Lala Kent]

Yeah. Oh, so you don't like cats?

[James Kennedy]

It's not that I don't like cats. It's more of the shit. The box of shit that I don't like.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, let me tell you something. We are trained at my house. Like, as it's coming out of that cat's ass, we're sitting there with a scooper. Like, nothing. It doesn't even hit the sand.

[James Kennedy]

Okay, I like that.

[Lala Kent]

No, no. We're cleaning all day. All day. Right?

[Jeff Lewis]

They have the ones that rake automatically.

[Lala Kent]

No, no. Why would I do that when I have a human that'll just be right there waiting?

[James Kennedy]

Yeah, right.

[Jeff Lewis]

Human shit scooper.

[Lala Kent]

So have you ever done a spray tan, Lala?

[James Kennedy]

Yes.

[Lala Kent]

Okay. You Mercedes? Of course.

[Jeff Lewis]

I live for spray tans.

[Lala Kent]

Okay. Never done it before. Megan got it for my birthday because I'm headed to Cabo tomorrow. And so the woman came over. I think her name's Blair. She set up this. It was a little windy yesterday. She set up this tent on the rooftop deck. Anyone at Cedars Sinai or the Doc Spine Institute has seen my ass, my dick, my ball. I mean, it was just like, hello.

[James Kennedy]

Haven't they already?

[Lala Kent]

No. And I'm actually.

[Mercedes Javid]

There he is again. Hey, Jeff.

[Lala Kent]

I am actually somewhat modest, so I did not know if I should wear a sock. I did not know if I should wear underwear, but I did not want tan lines.

[James Kennedy]

Totally.

[Lala Kent]

So I was like, okay. So she is like, okay, take off your clothes. I am just completely naked standing there and she is spraying my legs. She is about. I don't Know. Would you say a foot from your dick if that.

[Mercedes Javid]

She was in there.

[Lala Kent]

She was in there. Like, basically, my dick was in her face.

[James Kennedy]

Right, Right. No, it's a very vulnerable thing to get right. I didn't. Lasering is like, wow. Even my gyno don't get in like this.

[Jeff Lewis]

At least the. The laser girl has the goggles on, so that's a big barrier of intimacy.

[James Kennedy]

With the spray and the mask.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah. I feel like she's way more, you know.

[Lala Kent]

Well, I guess because I was nervous or whatever, I didn't really follow directions. Like, when she's like, turn. Turn your leg. Like, she was like, turn to the right. I would turn to the left.

[James Kennedy]

Was there shrinkage?

[Jeff Lewis]

No, because it's kind of cold.

[James Kennedy]

The spray tan's cold.

[Jeff Lewis]

He's going to double down.

[Lala Kent]

No, I'm not going to double down. I'm going to say it grew. No, it wasn't embarrassing. Let's put it that way, because there's.

[Jeff Lewis]

Smack her in the face with your dick.

[Mercedes Javid]

Ew.

[Lala Kent]

I did not. But I was. I was very, like, embarrassed. And so I should not have said this because it was so fucking creepy. And thank God Chef Stu was there, otherwise she probably would have called the cops. I was like, oh, I bet you see a lot of dicks.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh.

[Lala Kent]

And then I was like. And other body parts. But I just was like. You know how you get, like, nervous nervous?

[James Kennedy]

And I was just like.

[Lala Kent]

That's what I told myself. I'm like, shut the fuck up.

[James Kennedy]

No. Can I get that way, too, though, Jeff? When I start getting nervous, I make really, like, sexual jokes.

[Lala Kent]

It wasn't even meant. It didn't even mean to be sexual. Like, it was just inappropriate and stupid. Like, why are you saying to this girl, as her. As her face is literally like, eight inches from my. Why are you saying that? But you see a lot of dicks. How's this one? I mean. You know what I mean? Like, it's just weird.

[James Kennedy]

No, I know.

[Lala Kent]

Shut up.

[James Kennedy]

I often tell myself to shut up. I so feel for you right now. You're not alone. I see you.

[Lala Kent]

And then she's like, we all see you. And then I was like, should I. Should I bend over? Because I don't want any lines, you know, underneath my cheeks.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, no. They get that taken care of.

[Lala Kent]

Well, she said, yeah, bend over. But then I. I put my hand on my leg. She goes, no, no, no. Don't touch your legs. And then I was like, oh, fuck. And then she had to fix the legs because I touched the legs. That was a lot of work.

[James Kennedy]

I know. She's less concerned about your dick in her face and more concerned with, like.

[Jeff Lewis]

You'Re ruining my good work.

[Lala Kent]

She's a. I mean, I think she's a perfectionist. Don't you think? I mean, she was powdering me and spraying me here and touch up there.

[James Kennedy]

That's normal.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's barrier.

[James Kennedy]

They all do that.

[Lala Kent]

Did you pull your cheeks apart?

[Mercedes Javid]

No. Did you just pull them apart?

[Lala Kent]

No, because I wasn't allowed to touch them.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, right.

[Mercedes Javid]

Yeah. Why would you do that? I did a little bend so she could do the under cheek.

[Lala Kent]

I did a bend.

[Jeff Lewis]

All right, Kim. Kim. Do you guys really need to bend over? Do you got that much ass going on?

[Lala Kent]

I know two more procedures. I will. But I said to her I had to bully Shane into getting it done because I'm like, well, since you're here. And Megan already paid the fee, which was like 150. I'm like, how much more to spray my assistant? And she said. I think she said 75, but I gave her like, 100. I tried to spray Kian because he needs it.

[Mercedes Javid]

He needs it more than I do.

[Lala Kent]

I know, but Kian wouldn't do it.

[James Kennedy]

Did Stu get one?

[Lala Kent]

No, he was on his way to work. He was on his way to work, but he now regrets it because Shane and I are so tan.

[James Kennedy]

Tan moms.

[Mercedes Javid]

I've never done it either, with a lot.

[James Kennedy]

I think you guys look gorgeous.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, you're an asshole. I'm not orange, am I? Am I orange?

[Jeff Lewis]

You're not less than a pumpkin orange.

[Mercedes Javid]

Well, that's very orange.

[James Kennedy]

I don't think you look orange. Okay, you were saying?

[Lala Kent]

I matched the wood on the ceiling of the coffee.

[James Kennedy]

No, MJ said that. I said you matched Jameson's hair. But I love it.

[Lala Kent]

It's like my perfect Jameson's hair is orange.

[James Kennedy]

No, I think it's gorgeous. Just like your spray tan. Just like your spray tan.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, mine.

[Mercedes Javid]

She told Jeff to wash it off after four and a half hours. She told me two and a half hours.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, no, fuck that. I'm going 24.

[Jeff Lewis]

Same.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, well.

[James Kennedy]

On there, baby.

[Lala Kent]

I didn't deal with sheets and towels. And I showered before I went to bed. It was good. There's nothing on the sheets.

[Jeff Lewis]

So even though I'm going directly from here to get a spray tan because I'm jealous.

[Lala Kent]

Are you?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes.

[Lala Kent]

Are you going to. What is it Blair Body by Blair or something?

[Jeff Lewis]

But my mom did, on my wedding day say that my face. Because the makeup Artist made me look like the wood. And now you're sitting in front of sight glass with the exact same color wood as your skin. But like, you're ready for Mexico.

[Lala Kent]

Yeah. Almost perfect. I got on the scale today, 196. I got lose six pounds in 24 hours.

[James Kennedy]

[Jeff Lewis]

That's all water weight.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah. Booty gonna get heavy.

[Lala Kent]

Mmm.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah. Mm. It is water weight.

[Lala Kent]

I don't think it's just that, though. I'll let me honest with you.

[Mercedes Javid]

[James Kennedy]

I am fucking crazy.

[Lala Kent]

On Ventura Boulevard and she Oaks Islands. I go there so often that one of the employees is like, hey, do you work at the Tarzana store? That's how often I go. When the employees think you work there because they see you so much, that's probably like a sign.

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you get the toucan, the chicken pineapple? What do you get?

[Lala Kent]

Yesterday I did the Shorebird, and I did the sweet potato fries. I also did onion rings, and I did the spinach dip, but I shared it.

[James Kennedy]

[Mercedes Javid]

It's the ass that's causing the weight.

[Lala Kent]

Maybe I should buy one, too.

[James Kennedy]

Seriously, I'm obsessed. And I wanted to buy a home in la. I could not. I couldn't find anything that I loved and wanted to spend that much money on. I don't know where I want to be, but I do know I want it. I wanted a place in the desert. I need to escape this godforsaken city for five minutes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

And it was easy. Easy. Bam. I have a little vacation.

[James Kennedy]

Okay.

[Lala Kent]

What's going on? Why is the lit. Why's the list outside?

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't know.

[James Kennedy]

It's fine. My computer restarted, but it restarted, so we're good.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, okay. So you love the house. How much time you be spending in Palm Springs?

[James Kennedy]

Well, I just got back last night and I'm going to leave again on Friday.

[Lala Kent]

Wow.

[James Kennedy]

I'm going to be there a lot.

[Lala Kent]

Every weekend. Every other weekend.

[James Kennedy]

I mean, I could see myself going out. My kid, I share her. So depending on that schedule, I know I'm going to be there a lot.

[Lala Kent]

See, that's why I can't do a second home, because we have our schedules.

[Jeff Lewis]

I have a question for both of you. Because you guys work so hard. Is it easy or is it still hell when you have to give baby to the other parent?

[James Kennedy]

I remember talking to Amber and she was like, give it four. It took me at least four months to get used to the schedule. We're a year and a half in. I'm not used to it. I still feel like I'm dropping my baby off to some, like, random person. I don't want to be away from her. I feel like I, like, drop her off and I'm like, and here's my heart and I'll be back for it in a little bit.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

No, I hate it. I hate it.

[Lala Kent]

I don't think anybody likes It.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, I know, but, like, it's not like. Okay, well, I'm going to work right now anyway, so it's okay because I'm providing for her right now while I'm away.

[James Kennedy]

I think I stay as busy as I can when I don't have her to, like, kind of forget because it's just her energy being there.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mercedes Javid]

You know, the party was so cute.

[James Kennedy]

It was cute.

[Lala Kent]

Monsters, Inc. Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

I did not realize what a throwback Monsters, Inc. Was.

[Lala Kent]

Is it a throwback? I feel like we're still watching it.

[Mercedes Javid]

That was like my. Like, when I was a kid. Like, that was. That was the right.

[James Kennedy]

I think it came out. When did it come out?

[Mercedes Javid]

Like 20 years ago.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Lala Kent]

Have you taken her Disneyland yet?

[James Kennedy]

Oh, yeah.

[Lala Kent]

You don't take her on the Monsters, Inc. Ride, dude. Too scary for her at two.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, no, she digs it.

[Lala Kent]

Okay. Yeah. Monroe loves that ride, too.

[James Kennedy]

Digs it.

[Lala Kent]

Do you do the VIP or do the fast pass or what do you do?

[James Kennedy]

We just do the fast pass.

[Lala Kent]

Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Lala Kent]

I still need to navigate.

[James Kennedy]

That VIP is what, like, six grand?

[Jeff Lewis]

No, you just. Three. And then you just get 10 people or something.

[Mercedes Javid]

Seven hundred an hour.

[James Kennedy]

That's expensive.

[Lala Kent]

And you have a minimum, like, eight hours.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, but don't you get, like, 10 people if you get.

[Lala Kent]

Buy the tickets on top of that?

[Mercedes Javid]

More than that.

[Lala Kent]

So you have to buy the tickets.

[Mercedes Javid]

In addition to the vip and then you tip them. It's a lot. And then food.

[Jeff Lewis]

And then you end up on Reddit because you trash them. Or is that a different park?

[Lala Kent]

Oh, no, Jeff, I didn't trash Disneyland, did I?

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't know. Who did?

[Lala Kent]

You. Oh, maybe I did Universal.

[Mercedes Javid]

No, I'm sure it was.

[Lala Kent]

No, I love. Universal is great. It's cheaper.

[Mercedes Javid]

You went through it.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, you're right. I did trash Universal.

[Jeff Lewis]

It was this.

[Lala Kent]

It was the Scary Horror Night thing.

[James Kennedy]

Yes. I totally remember Moulin Rouge, Beth.

[Lala Kent]

That's what it is. But it was fine because we went on the VIP again and it was great.

[Mercedes Javid]

Yeah, we made up.

[James Kennedy]

You need to have both. I think you need to have a season past Universal season to Disneyland, because Universal's easy. And then Disney is more of like, a day thing. You're like, I'm spending the whole day here.

[Lala Kent]

We should do Universal again because, A, it wasn't that expensive, B, it's close.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes.

[Lala Kent]

And C, we were so hot. I couldn't go on a lot of those rides.

[Mercedes Javid]

I feel like there's, like, three good ones at Universal.

[James Kennedy]

There's not much that's great, but it's funny.

[Mercedes Javid]

You can do it in like an hour.

[Lala Kent]

I thought it was. I thought it was fun.

[Mercedes Javid]

Universal, there's like three really fun ones. And then after that it's like, did.

[Lala Kent]

You see all those freaks? What is it, the Hogwarts? What is that little village called?

[Mercedes Javid]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

Warthogs.

[James Kennedy]

Warthogs.

[Mercedes Javid]

No, Hogwarts.

[Lala Kent]

Hogwarts. Do you see all those freaks in there? They're all dressed up like Harry Potter. No.

[James Kennedy]

Where? Oh, at Universal.

[Mercedes Javid]

Harry Potter?

[James Kennedy]

Yes.

[Mercedes Javid]

Wizarding world in the halls of Sirius X.

[Lala Kent]

The guide was really funny. What's his name?

[Mercedes Javid]

Peter.

[Lala Kent]

I love Peter. But he's got to be diplomatic, right? So he's like, oh, yeah, you should see them. They're lined up at the gate in the morning. It's like, it's the first place. Like, they go into the park and they line up at the Hogwarts gate, waiting. He's like, yeah, they've been waiting their whole life to come here. I mean, he's. But he's cool, but he's like, you know, he can't say anything bad, but he's kind of like, yeah, there's something wrong. He's like, wink, wink.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah, it's like when the new movie comes out and there's so many people there dressed up.

[Lala Kent]

Camp out like for days.

[James Kennedy]

What happens to like, make someone.

[Lala Kent]

Childhood trauma do that? Childhood.

[James Kennedy]

Childhood trauma.

[Lala Kent]

I don't know. Childhood trauma. I've destroyed Dr. Donna.

[Mercedes Javid]

I can't bout for Vanderpump. I'm just. I'm sitting on my couch, wrapped in my blankets. Like, when will it post? When will it post? It's time for the drama.

[James Kennedy]

That's normal.

[Lala Kent]

We are going to jump into that, I think. I mean, we got a lot to talk about with Vanderpump. Lala's just. I mean, you've got a tremendous business online right now. It's called Give Them Lala Beauty. Give them Lala baby. There's also Give Them Lala podcast, which Imagine is probably doing really well right now.

[James Kennedy]

Yes.

[Lala Kent]

Considering the controversy that's going on.

[James Kennedy]

Yes, I am capitalizing.

[Lala Kent]

You should cha ching. Much like I did with the Heather Meghan drama last week.

[James Kennedy]

The thing is, everyone has profited. There's nothing you can do about it. So, like, how are. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Make money. Correct. Send it to Darryl. Yes.

[Lala Kent]

Explain the whole Daryl thing. Because people are like, what the fuck are they talking about?

[Mercedes Javid]

Daryl?

[James Kennedy]

Darryl is my lawyer. And to be honest, I woke up I had an email from Raquel's Mickey Mouse lawyer who sent me a direct email with this like weird letter. It wasn't a cease and desist. It was. I don't know what it was. And I was pissed about it.

[Lala Kent]

What was the letter? What was it about?

[James Kennedy]

It was, hey, don't know if you've seen this video or if you have it. This is what it entails. Which I thought was so stupid. I'm like, you're literally putting this in a legal document, like confirming what it is.

[Lala Kent]

What was the video?

[James Kennedy]

It was an intimate video of Tom and Raquel pleasuring themselves both. Yes. A FaceTime. Okay, do you see that was screen recorded.

[Lala Kent]

You saw it?

[James Kennedy]

I responded back, lawrence, never fucking send me an email to my personal account ever again. I haven't seen it. I don't have it. I don't want to see it or have it. My eyes would light on fire. And then I went on my tangent.

[Lala Kent]

On Instagram and you said, send it to Daryl, which is your attorney.

[James Kennedy]

Yes. At the very end I was like, send it to Daryl. And I didn't think it was like that funny. I watched it. I was like, this is funny. Like, I didn't think it would slap like a meme, you know, I just.

[Jeff Lewis]

Slapped big time at all.

[James Kennedy]

And then I wanted to give Daryl a peaceful work day. So I deleted it seven minutes later. But by then it was off to the races.

[Lala Kent]

Okay, so you send it to Daryl. There's. Now the hoodies are available. Are there T shirts and things like that as well?

[James Kennedy]

Just the hoodies for now because.

[Lala Kent]

And where do we go to buy them?

[James Kennedy]

Shoplalakent.com okay.

[Lala Kent]

And if you are interested in buying either a Team Megan or Team Heather T shirt, go to jefflewisemerch.com really? Do you have those pre ordering now? So what you saw, did you see the video?

[James Kennedy]

No.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, okay. But several people saw the video.

[James Kennedy]

No, actually I. The only person. I feel like your attorney saw it.

[Lala Kent]

Haven't seen it actually.

[James Kennedy]

No, not at all.

[Lala Kent]

Okay, good. All right.

[James Kennedy]

I'm. I believe the only person. Can you send it to person that saw it? I don't have it. I don't have it. The only person that saw it, I believe was Ariana because that's how she caught Tom and Raquel doing whatever the.

[Lala Kent]

So they both were pleasuring themselves. Could she see Tom in the video as well or just hear him?

[James Kennedy]

That I don't.

[Lala Kent]

Is he loud?

[James Kennedy]

All I was told is that it was the two of them doing whatever they were Masturbating. Correct.

[Lala Kent]

Okay. You didn't ask her if you could see Tom.

[James Kennedy]

And that's not something I would really want to see.

[Lala Kent]

Because it would hurt her. It would hurt her if you keep asking questions.

[James Kennedy]

She did. Ariana said, I don't want to know anything. But for me and just the situation that I've been in, I feel like you want to know so certain things, because you have to know who to cut out of your life. Like, who knew? How long has it been going on? Were people around?

[Lala Kent]

And who knew?

[James Kennedy]

Tom Schwartz, I think Tom Schwartz for sure knew.

[Lala Kent]

Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

I said the only way you didn't know was if you actively, like, literally covered your eyes and closed your ears. Because I knew. Like, you'll see this season. You knew during regular filming, before cameras.

[Lala Kent]

Went back up, you knew or you were suspicious feeling something from experience.

[James Kennedy]

These two have crossed a line. They're fucking each other.

[Lala Kent]

You felt that, but you didn't know it. You didn't have any proof.

[James Kennedy]

I didn't have any proof.

[Lala Kent]

But in hindsight, you were like, oh, God, the signs were there. But why didn't you say anything to Ariana?

[James Kennedy]

Well, I talked to Sheena about it, and Ariana and I haven't been super close for a while. Like, I have a lot of love for her, but I feel, because I never got along with Sandoval, it was like we couldn't be close. I don't like your boyfriend.

[Lala Kent]

Right.

[James Kennedy]

Your living boyfriend. But I talked to Sheena about it. Sheena did ask Ariana and Raquel, and I believe Sandoval, and they all said, nothing's going on. But again, like Katie says, we were in the cheap seats. We were seeing it differently than everybody else.

[Jeff Lewis]

Katie said that?

[James Kennedy]

Yeah. Katie goes, I was in the cheap seats.

[Jeff Lewis]

Like, that's funny.

[James Kennedy]

I saw it. But when you're in it, you don't see it. Like, they've all been beating themselves up. And I'm like, I get why you didn't see the red flags.

[Lala Kent]

Were there. Dead giveaways? Were there. Now, in hindsight, do you look back and be like, what specific instances? Because I know. I've been watching the show, Jeff.

[James Kennedy]

That's why I had. That's why I was feeling this type of way, because I was seeing things that just didn't add up. And then I learned after it was confirmed, all of the things that everyone else saw and they didn't think it was red flags, like opening the door and seeing Raquel and Sandoval undercovers together, and they're like, oh, this is weird. But they're just best friends. I'm like, what?

[Jeff Lewis]

Where did that happen in this episode?

[James Kennedy]

That this was. That was off camera.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[James Kennedy]

This was at some party or something. Santa Monica.

[Lala Kent]

How long was the affair going on? As far as we know.

[Jeff Lewis]

And how did I know she wedding. Sheena's wedding?

[James Kennedy]

They said it was seven months. There's been two stories. It happened after Guys night, which was at Mondrian, when Raquel left Lake Havasu and went to Guys night. Yes, I've heard that.

[Lala Kent]

That's when it started.

[James Kennedy]

Or that was the first night. Now I believe that the line.

[Lala Kent]

I'm just saying she looked good that night. I've just never thought Raquel looked good that night.

[Mercedes Javid]

Not, not like cheat on your partner good.

[Lala Kent]

But no, no, no, but see, I've.

[James Kennedy]

Never found like, she got a pretty face when, you know, you glam her up a bit. Yeah, but to me it's just like spongebob squarepants with like a pretty face.

[Lala Kent]

I agree. I don't like dumb. Yeah, that's not hot.

[Jeff Lewis]

Not at all.

[Lala Kent]

But you can groom dumb. Now, didn't she lie? I mean, no. Didn't I hear these rumors that she was under the impression they were in an open relationship? Is that correct?

[James Kennedy]

I feel like that's such a cop out. Like Ariana.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, no, no, no, I'm not. No, no, no, no. I'm not justifying it.

[James Kennedy]

No, I know Ariana has made it very known and public. Like, hey, we're not in an open relationship. She's gone to Twitter and stuff.

[Lala Kent]

But my question is, did Tom tell Raquel that?

[James Kennedy]

I believe that she most definitely did. Like, I would put my life on.

[Lala Kent]

It, that he lied to her, manipulated her.

[Mercedes Javid]

But they're all in the same friend group. It's like she knows Ariana.

[James Kennedy]

Right?

[Mercedes Javid]

It's not.

[James Kennedy]

If you're in an open relationship, why are we hiding? And if Raquel were not dear friends with Ariana, I would say that Sandoval groomed her.

[Lala Kent]

It was very telling. When you were in Havasu and you had said to her, I wouldn't feel comfortable with my man around you. Yeah, she made that nasty retort back. But I mean, that was very.

[James Kennedy]

Which was a savage. It was a very.

[Jeff Lewis]

Of course, that was the moment that I knew that she was a sociopath. Because everything she says is without any conscience.

[Lala Kent]

Yes, without.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's like a cold blooded killer.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, yeah.

[Mercedes Javid]

I don't agree. I thought that she knew she had to say it, like to get back at you and because it was good tv, but like, it. It like hurt her coming out of her mouth, she was like.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah, you could tell. She.

[Mercedes Javid]

She was like, I'm gonna get ripped for this, but I have to say something.

[James Kennedy]

Well, and by the way, had this not happened, because I've seen the ent now, she would have come out a fucking star.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

Because she would have won the whole.

[Jeff Lewis]

Season because she was very embarrassed because there was.

[Lala Kent]

Why she looks like a victim or what?

[James Kennedy]

Well, there were just so many moments where you guys will see her just reflecting on her past and it does tug at your heartstrings. But then you know what you know now, and you're like, wow, this is insane. She's crazy. Because that's the biggest thing.

[Jeff Lewis]

When it wasn't about.

[James Kennedy]

It's about the creeping around. Yes, totally fucked up. But the things that they were both able to say to people, knowing that they were doing what they were doing behind the scenes is so sick.

[Jeff Lewis]

For example, the pool party is the most recent episode that aired.

[Lala Kent]

Yes, I watched that.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes. When she came to the table and Lala was so funny, she was like, do you have something to contribute to this conversation? So that's when she started to manipulate and gaslight by pretending she was like, to James, sick. I am so tortured by how much it's emotionally affected me that I just found out that you and Lala hooked up six years ago. What, bitch? Like, stay in your lane.

[James Kennedy]

Which, by the way, she did not care. We had conversations so often about this filming, not filming, where she was like, I like, whatever. I don't care.

[Lala Kent]

And then she certainly did on camera.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, well, it served her narrative after she delivered the line, it's a good thing you don't have a man. And then you cut to, you know, she's sitting there going, you say that to me, but you're the one that we shouldn't trust our boyfriends to, you know, be around. Because it served her, you know, because that makes sense. Am I making any sense?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes. I'm going to tell you what I see because, you know, Tommy and me and Raquel and Nima and Sheena and Brock all spent the weekend together going to Hannah Berner's wedding in May. Okay. So I, you know, we hung out for the weekend, whatever. When what you're saying to me, it's like Raquel kept having these hero moments throughout the season. She got to stand up to you. She got to say that she was the victim in, like this affair. That and whatever. And so the audience thought that they Were rooting for someone who was victim, who's, like, finally defending herself. But now that it blew up in her face, it's because everyone found out she's actually a demon.

[James Kennedy]

Correct.

[Jeff Lewis]

Who fucked her best friend's boyfriend.

[James Kennedy]

But can I tell you, my mom. In, like, 2017, we were all at dinner in Vegas with James, Raquel, my. My parents. Something happened between James and myself. Raquel and James leave. My mom looked at me and was like, I do not like that girl. That girl is a snake. I want you to be so careful.

[Lala Kent]

Well, so did she hook up with Schwartz too?

[James Kennedy]

They kissed. They kissed.

[Lala Kent]

Isn't it interesting that he would do that knowing that Sandoval is with her?

[James Kennedy]

Well, I think the whole thing is, like, disgusting and gross. And I'm like, do you know?

[Lala Kent]

So maybe he didn't know.

[Mercedes Javid]

Or they don't see her as a person and they just want to fuck.

[Jeff Lewis]

Whoever else in front of them. When she gave that TMZ interview the night before the reunion, I died because the guy was asking her, did you use Tom Schwartz as a decoy? And she goes, no. I actually had genuine interest in exploring a relationship with Tom Schwartz.

[James Kennedy]

Why is your. Shouldn't you best friend?

[Jeff Lewis]

Exactly. Why did she double down? Because didn't she know it would be better to say absolutely no interest in Tom Schwartz?

[James Kennedy]

Right. Yes. You would have thought she said that TMZ interview up, of course.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, she did, yes.

[James Kennedy]

Like, that's the same nail salon that Sheena's best friend works at and Ariana goes to. And obviously my crew, they. They make their phone calls to see what's good. They were like, there's not even a chair out there. Like, no one has ever waited outside. And her nail appointment was done. She already got her.

[Jeff Lewis]

And if you don't want to.

[Lala Kent]

She's just waiting for tmz. They'll be here any minute.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, because she would have walked away. She wouldn't have stood there for 15 minutes if she didn't want the interview. She would have walked to her car and waved goodbye and gone about her business.

[James Kennedy]

And I loved it because everyone was like, no, she would have never set this up looking like that. And I'm like, hello? That was the PR plan. Don't get ready.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, you got unexpected.

[Lala Kent]

Wow.

[James Kennedy]

Like, I would never set this up.

[Lala Kent]

How was the reunion? Intense.

[James Kennedy]

I'm still recovering. My mind is fried. It was.

[Lala Kent]

Did you yourself personally go after Raquel and Tom?

[Jeff Lewis]

I hope so.

[James Kennedy]

I completely blacked out. I was, like, enraged. Because even though this didn't directly I don't want to say it didn't directly affect me because it did trigger me. It reminded me of just the way Randyll slithered around. So I feel for my friend. But at the same time, it was all of these times that they projected onto me all season that I was like, how in the world can you sleep at night? All of the things you said to me. Wednesday an article came out. This was the night that they were caught. Right after Watch what happens live. So what, three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and an article came out where Sandoval was saying that I just need to be real me. Little old me. I think that's the problem, is I was a little too real for your liking. So just the projection. I was enraged. When a producer says to me, normally I get like a pat on the back, like, you did great today. We're so proud of you. I said, I feel like I went a little too crazy. And they said, I think we'll be able to pull you back a bit when we edit this down.

[Lala Kent]

How is Ariana doing today?

[James Kennedy]

I feel like she's. I think she's thriving. I think she's realizing that this was like the universe intervening and getting her out of something that she wasn't happy happy in. You know, she booked that movie with. Is it Megan Good?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes.

[James Kennedy]

So she's in Canada right now playing opposite Megan. Good. Like, I just, I know that she was like down and out because when you go home and you hate the person you're with, you think you love them, Right. Because you've been together for so long, but like, you really can't stand them.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[James Kennedy]

Sandoval seems like fucking torture.

[Jeff Lewis]

And they have. He is. They have a house together. And she's just been on this, like, slow, unhappy, stagnant. You know, she's had her fair share of skin cancer, her dog passing, being in a dead relationship with a selfish man who's. Now she finds out, like, sometimes you have to have like a bat swing you and hit you hard to realize that it's time to like shake it off and move on.

[James Kennedy]

Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

But I don't think she was noticing it was like that slow cook, you know? So this is the last thing that could have happened.

[James Kennedy]

You slip into being comfortable in a relationship and it becomes your new normal, even though you're like so depressed about everything. And that just figure, like, this is my life.

[Lala Kent]

What happened with the sandwich shop? Did that ever open?

[James Kennedy]

It hasn't opened yet.

[Lala Kent]

So it's going to open.

[James Kennedy]

I think it will.

[Lala Kent]

Okay.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah. I think they're on the right path. I'm really excited. By the way, the sandwiches that we tasted are so bomb. Like, I need it to open yesterday.

[Lala Kent]

And it's gonna be on Robertson.

[James Kennedy]

Yes, Like a couple doors up from Surrey.

[Lala Kent]

It's so close to me. We could postmates it.

[Mercedes Javid]

I could walk there from my house. I'm going every day.

[James Kennedy]

No, it's so good.

[Mercedes Javid]

I need a sandwich right now.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, bomb.

[Lala Kent]

Do they have a liquor license?

[James Kennedy]

They'll have wine and beer.

[Lala Kent]

Nice.

[Mercedes Javid]

That goes good to a sandwich.

[Lala Kent]

I would just go there for lunch anyway. And I wouldn't drink.

[James Kennedy]

Well, it's a lunch spot.

[Lala Kent]

Just asking.

[Mercedes Javid]

Yeah, I mean, I might get a glass of wine with nice lunch.

[Lala Kent]

So let me ask you about this. So Sheena is the one. Ariana had called Sheena. And then she was in a car with Raquel in New York. Is that correct? What happened? How did Ariana. Ariana find it? Found out because she saw it on Tom's phone. So it was not passcode protected or.

[James Kennedy]

That's a little unclear to me. I don't.

[Mercedes Javid]

She probably knew the code. They've been together that long?

[James Kennedy]

Yeah. All I know is she saw the video or she figured out the code. She saw the video. She calls Raquel. Raquel is in the bar. It's closing down. Sheena's outside. Raquel comes out and is on. Ariana's on speaker, and Sheena can hear her crying. And Raquel looks at Sheena and basically says, like, you were right. I've been having an affair with Sandoval for the past seven months.

[Lala Kent]

And the rumors are that Sheena maybe pushed her or hit her or something.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah, Sheena called. I talked to Sheena the next day. And I just feel like she would have mentioned something like that to me.

[Lala Kent]

If she had done it.

[James Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Lala Kent]

Okay. Because you know, you got to be careful about. Obviously that's assault, battery.

[James Kennedy]

Like, she's right. Well, she. She and her legal. By the way, it's dropped now. It did go through in the court system that it has been. It's taken off the docket.

[Lala Kent]

But I know she didn't do it.

[James Kennedy]

I don't think she did it. I mean, I know she and her legal team were very excited to go to court.

[Lala Kent]

Oh, okay.

[James Kennedy]

Like, they had witnesses that were actually there.

[Lala Kent]

I was a little concerned for her when I heard this, when I read the stories.

[Jeff Lewis]

Sheena didn't do anything.

[James Kennedy]

I was not concerned because I know that. I know my friend. First of all, she can't make a close Fist with those nails?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, it's impossible physically to do that. There's no way with those talons.

[James Kennedy]

Not at all.

[Jeff Lewis]

You cannot.

[Lala Kent]

The reunion. Was there anyone that supported Sandoval and Raquel or was everyone pretty much against them? Was there anyone that defended them?

[James Kennedy]

I mean, no, I think it was. I don't think you could defend that.

[Lala Kent]

It must have been really intense.

[James Kennedy]

It was the most intense. Like we, we all. I think we all got. I at least got a message the next day that was like. Just so you know, we do have a therapist. I'm sure that you guys, when you first started Shaws of Sunset, you get the email that, like there is a therapist that you can talk to.

[Mercedes Javid]

We need that email.

[James Kennedy]

Jeff Lewis lived or Hollywood it was intense. Yeah, it was very triggering.

[Mercedes Javid]

How long was the shoot parts?

[Lala Kent]

Will it be that?

[James Kennedy]

I don't know, three?

[Lala Kent]

Will it be two? Will it be 26?

[James Kennedy]

I mean, of course. Me, I hope that it's three, but no one's going to because you get paid. Of course, yes.

[Mercedes Javid]

How long was the shoot?

[James Kennedy]

So the whole shoot I've read was we filmed for five hours. But you have to remember, like the second we arrived, we have cameras on our phone. So even though we're not sitting in the chair, like the green room, we're filming. So we. My call time was 8:30. They started filming me the moment that I arrived, until I left at 7.

[Mercedes Javid]

Wow.

[James Kennedy]

So it was a long day.

[Jeff Lewis]

Call time. Did you get ready at home?

[James Kennedy]

I got ready at home.

[Lala Kent]

Lala, how do you guys move forward? Because obviously we all want another season now more than ever. So have they talked to you about picking it up yet?

[James Kennedy]

That's a hard question because for me you're talking about two people who I didn't fuck with for a long time. So not having them around is like, that's great. But also from a reality TV and entertainment standpoint, obviously you need them. Right? So that's gonna be interesting. I don't know where. Where Ariana's head is at, I'm hoping.

[Lala Kent]

Will Raquel come back?

[Jeff Lewis]

Unfortunately.

[James Kennedy]

I mean, I didn't even think she'd come to the reunion.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, but she does all this for television in addition to personally injuring the only people that she had. My question about Raquel is how did she get in the group with James?

[James Kennedy]

She went to pump on, I think it was New Year's Eve, and then followed him around like a puppy dog. And then she was like the chosen one at the end of the night.

[Lala Kent]

Maybe Sandoval didn't groom her? Maybe she.

[Jeff Lewis]

I mean, it sounds like she was.

[Lala Kent]

Maybe she groomed him.

[Jeff Lewis]

A fan.

[James Kennedy]

I don't think so. Because there is a difference between someone who can manipulate you. There's a difference between someone who's really smart and there's a difference between someone who's easily pushed into a corner and they just. I feel like Sandoval got into her head and made her think that this was all good and it was gonna work out. My what I think the plan was, and I said this before shit blew up. Just you wait. Ariana and Sandoval will break up. And don't be shocked because he's going to fall into a relationship with Raquel. Mark my words. And they'll pretend like.

[Lala Kent]

And did that happen?

[James Kennedy]

Well, they got caught, but that was what I thought was going to happen. If they don't get caught.

[Lala Kent]

Are they together now?

[James Kennedy]

I'm not going to say.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's all they have. They went to dinner.

[Lala Kent]

They went to dinner after.

[Jeff Lewis]

I saw that they have nobody else. And also, I don't think in a million years they would have thought that the world would have received them this way. I think in their minds they thought that people would be, like, accepting of it. And now that they're on this island, they reap what they sow. I hope that all the pain that they cause Ariana and the ripple effect it creates on everyone else, they hurt, like, comes to them.

[Lala Kent]

Did they at any point refuse to film? Because I know you guys went down, went back up, then the reunion. Did you hear that maybe Sandoval or Raquel refused to film?

[James Kennedy]

I had heard that we didn't know if Raquel was gonna show up or not. And that was still up in the air. Like, we don't know. If I said, so does that mean she's gonna come through via zoom? And they were like, we have no idea.

[Lala Kent]

Did she handle herself well?

[Mercedes Javid]

Does she ever not crazy?

[James Kennedy]

So fucking stupid. Like, you're gonna die, you're gonna die. And it felt so amazing that now when I said it, I didn't have a group of people going, la la. That's mean. It was like, we're all on the same. Can we all agree now this person's a fucking idiot.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's when I thought you had your redemption, when you were like, go ahead, I know you can do it. Put a thought together. That was my favorite.

[James Kennedy]

Did you see her? It was a little condescending.

[Lala Kent]

She loved it.

[James Kennedy]

And I'm like, are we rebooting here? I don't understand.

[Lala Kent]

She's loading. Okay. I will tell you though, Ariana's been on the show. She was a great guest. I really liked her. It will be hard for me. I mean, I imagine in the reunion it's going to be painful to watch. That'll be hard for me to watch.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, but she's on the come up now. She's going to be good.

[James Kennedy]

And by the way, she will be good. I can't wait for people to see her. Look, she.

[Jeff Lewis]

She's obviously.

[James Kennedy]

Well, I know this. I ate her cookie in the back seat of Sandoval's car. Like, I know she hot. I know she hit different. Like.

[Lala Kent]

Wait, I'm sorry, what?

[Jeff Lewis]

You did not.

[Lala Kent]

When did this happen?

[James Kennedy]

Probably 2017. 2018.

[Lala Kent]

Just one time. That was it.

[James Kennedy]

Just one time. It was great. Sandoval picked us up from a bar.

[Lala Kent]

She wasted.

[James Kennedy]

Wasted. We had been drinking all day. I told her to like, please get in the backseat of the car and take your pants off. We've all said that.

[Lala Kent]

Okay, I didn't see that coming.

[Jeff Lewis]

But how do you.

[Mercedes Javid]

It came six years ago. She came six years ago.

[Lala Kent]

I guess, you know, you hear rumors where you're like, nah, it's too far fetched.

[James Kennedy]

No, it was. Yeah, like she's stunning and you're gonna die when you see her on the reunion. Like, damn, she looks good.

[Mercedes Javid]

Are you gonna eat her cookie again?

[James Kennedy]

Maybe. It's crazy how she may be Ocean stepmom assumes.

[Lala Kent]

Okay. Darby in Pennsylvania. Darby.

[James Kennedy]

Hey.

[Caller]

Hi guys. Shout out, Jane.

[Mercedes Javid]

Shout out. Darby.

[Lala Kent]

I think a lot of people are doing that. VenusCBD.com and there's just a little bit of lag time in the morning. A little bit of lag time. Did you take lights out last night or this morning?

[Caller]

I love being a.

[Lala Kent]

Me too.

[Mercedes Javid]

Yeah, I could tell.

[Lala Kent]

But it slows us down a bit in the morning.

[Jeff Lewis]

In the morning.

[Lala Kent]

A little delayed.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh my God.

[Caller]

A little delayed. A little hungover from the Venus dvd.

[Lala Kent]

But we're good.

[Caller]

We're good. We're good.

[Lala Kent]

Okay, Code Jeff.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, Code Jeff.

[Caller]

And yeah, coach. So anyways, Lala, don't take this the wrong way. I. When you first were on the show, I was not a big fan of you. I was. I just wasn't. And now I cannot get enough of you. I think that you are fabulous. And I think the reason why I didn't like you before is because I think Randall was bringing you down. And I think you were a completely different person whenever you were with him. And now that he is, you know, he's gonna be in the picture because of Ocean. And it really touched at my heart whenever you had said that Ocean is the one, you know, the person who's like saving you and that she was like a gift from God for you. And I just want to applaud you that you've taken a really bad situation and you've just, you know, come through and really done well. And you're a wonderful mom and I love you on the show and you can't go anywhere.

[James Kennedy]

Oh, thank you, my love. I'm an acquired taste. I feel like that was like, that's not an unpopular opinion to be like, I wasn't really that big of a fan of you. I'm like, really?

[Lala Kent]

I think you're crazy. Look, I don't remember how you were in the beginning, but I just know you today and I find you extremely authentic, honest. You're very down to earth and I think you're relatable.

[James Kennedy]

Thank you.

[Lala Kent]

I mean, some of the things you say, and I do, too, are a bit outrageous. Like, you know, the cookie in the backseat, like that throws people off a bit. But you're very, very forthright.

[James Kennedy]

Well, I think I appreciate saying that. Thank you. I like shock value.

[Lala Kent]
