In a whirlwind of social media drama, Lala Kent, the rising star of the “Untraditionally Lala” podcast, found herself at the center of a heated exchange with Mauricio Umansky, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member and real‑estate mogul. What began as a seemingly innocuous direct message (DM) about meeting for coffee escalated into a public feud that has captured the attention of reality‑TV fans and internet commentators alike.
The DM Incident That Sparked the Feud
It all started when Mauricio Umansky sent Lala a private message on Instagram, proposing a casual coffee meet‑up. According to Lala, she never opened the message and, therefore, never responded. She expressed uncertainty about Umansky’s intentions, stating that there was “not a chance” she would have agreed to the meeting. The DM, however, was interpreted by Umansky as a personal invitation, which he claimed was a sign of interest.
When Lala later revealed the exchange on her podcast, she painted Umansky as someone who was “making a play” for her. The tone of her recounting was defensive, suggesting that Umansky’s outreach was more about personal gain than a genuine friendship. This narrative set the stage for the confrontation that followed.
Lala Kent’s Counterattack on Her Podcast
In a bold move, Lala took to her “Untraditionally Lala” podcast to address the DM controversy. She called Mauricio a “loser” and a “child,” accusing him of being a “f‑‑‑‑ing liar.” Lala’s remarks were not just a casual retort; she went on to describe Umansky as “old enough to be my f‑‑‑‑ing dad,” a sharp jab that underscored her frustration with what she perceived as his disrespectful behavior.
Her podcast aired the exchange in a raw, unfiltered style that resonated with her audience, many of whom are accustomed to the candid storytelling that defines the reality‑TV podcast scene. Lala’s willingness to confront Umansky head‑on, even at the risk of alienating a high‑profile figure, demonstrates her commitment to authenticity—a trait that has helped her build a loyal following.
