Lala Kent responded to getting the axe from Vanderpump Rules in a rather cheeky fashion.
Following news season 12 will proceed with a brand new cast, Kent, 34, paid tribute to her time on the show with a slew of throwbacks and a lengthy message.
Buried within a carousel full of Vanderpump throwbacks, Lala included an X-rated snap of her posing nude with her bare backside on full display.
Die-hard Vanderpump fans may remember that Lala first posted the photo back in 2020 to commemorate the season eight premiere of VPR.
‘In honor of season 8 & new faces, here is my a**,’ Lala originally captioned the photo. ‘The profile picture I had from my first season on #PumpRules. This got all the bitches talking, and now the b**ches are my best friends. Enjoy the episode, babies.’
The photo was just one of many celebrating Lala’s nine years on the hit Bravo series.

Lala, who joined the show in 2015, acknowledged having ‘mixed feelings’ after Bravo announced the original cast had been replaced with new faces for the upcoming season.
‘Where to begin. I was a young girl from Salt Lake City who made her way to L.A. I would introduce myself as Lauren, but because my childhood best friend referred to me as Lala, my nickname quickly stuck,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘Sur was a place that became home. I found myself not only sipping on vodka sodas there, but behind a hostess stand… it still to this day is the most intimidating job I’ve ever had. A short time later the opportunity to be on a show called Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me.
‘I have such mixed feelings right now. It’s no secret I do not like change. This is the exception. I want to say thank you for rocking with us for so many years. This show changed my whole life. I’m unbelievably grateful for every moment. I’m unbelievably grateful for Bravo, for NBCU, for our crew, the entire cast, and most importantly all of you. We rocked this bitch until the wheels fell off.’
The post came shortly after Bravo’s bombshell announcement the original stars had been recast.
The new cast consists of ‘close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessor,’ the network said.
Lisa Vanderpump will be returning and the upcoming season will begin filming next year. The new cast and premiere date will be announced down the road.
While the cast has changed over the years, last season’s primary stars were Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Lala, James Kennedy and Scheana Shay.
‘What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again,’ executive producer Alex Baskin said in the statement.
She included various snaps with her castmates, including James Kennedy

‘With profound appreciation for the original group and their iconic run, we can’t wait for the audience to see a dynamic new group of co-workers and friends make their way through life together,’ he said.
‘Under Lisa Vanderpump’s watchful eye, the West Hollywood mainstay SUR — and now TomTom — welcomes the next batch of servers, hosts and bartenders rife with plenty of drama, situationships and frenemies,’ the release noted.
Lisa stated in the announcement: ‘The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between. I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives.
‘How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump Rules,’ she said.
Additionally, the show ‘will celebrate the past decade of heartbreaks, friendship rifts and scandals with a retrospective special highlighting the past 11 seasons’, the release states.
