Lala Kent calls sobriety the most important thing in her life: 'Without it, I'm worthless'

Lala Kent says her sobriety is the most important thing in her life.

The Vanderpump Rules star, 31, has been teetotal since 2018 and she insists that maintaining her recovery has to be her top priority because if she descends into alcoholism again then it will destroy everything that she has built.

‘Without it, I’m worthless in every other area. It comes before motherhood and before my relationship,’ said the mother of one.

Lala decided to get clean after having an epiphany on a plane following a trip to Disney World in October 2018 with her fiancé Randall Emmett, during which she was drunk for four days straight. 

The blonde beauty – who now has six-month-old daughter Ocean with producer Emmett – admits she could not have put down the bottle without the unwavering love and support of her man.

In an interview with In Touch Weekly magazine, she said: ‘When we first started dating, it was all fun and games, Things progressed with my alcoholism very quickly.

‘I put him through a lot, but I’ve found a partner whose shown me unconditional love.’

The reality TV star recently released her book Give Them Lala in which she chronicles some of the worst things she has done while drunk and although it was hard to revisit those ‘mortifying moments’ she knows it was worth it if her story can help just one other person struggling with booze. 

She said: ‘The hardest parts were talking about things that happened in my alcoholic state of mind. But if one person walks away saying, “I’m going to explore getting sober,” then it was worth sharing those horrific and mortifying moments. 

‘I’ve done some things I wasn’t feeling right about, so it was me saying, “This is how it happened, this is my perspective. I’m no longer going to apologize or explain things.”‘

Lala admits she has had ‘one moment’ where she was tempted to drink, but she knows as long as continues to work hard at her sobriety and love herself then she will be fine.

She shared: ‘Luckily, I’ve only had one moment where I was on the brink of a relapse. I work very hard to stay sober. I’m not saying that a day won’t come where it will be difficult – I know those days are ahead.’

While working on herself, the star hasn’t shied away from calling out others on their own shortcomings. 

In the trailer for the new season of Vanderpump rules, Kent revealed that Scheana Shay’s fiancé Brock Davis hasn’t spoken to his kids in years. 

Insiders clarified the comments to PageSix, explaining that the pandemic has made it impossible for Davis to return to his native Australia so he could visit his children.
