Lala Kent Reveals Where She Stands With Scheana Shay Amid Feud Rumors and Why Scheana Skipped Daughter Sosa’s Birthday Party
Amid reports of their falling out on the new season of The Valley, Lala Kent addressed where she stands with Scheana Shay, shared the last time she saw her, and revealed why Scheana didn’t attend her daughter Sosa’s birthday party.
Last week, Scheana hinted that she was disappointed in Lala for not posting PR for her new memoir, My Good Side. The star suggested that she now has a “better perspective” on their friendship, which once seemed strong.
In an Amazon Live session, a fan asked Lala if she and Scheana had a falling out.
“Um… I just say, Scheana [is] Scheana[-ing],” answered Lala, via @realityops on Instagram. “And I’m letting Scheana Scheana. I have no, I don’t know. I’m just here minding my own. I don’t, I don’t know.”
She was then asked if Scheana came to Sosa’s birthday party.
“I’m gonna talk about how I feel about Scheana,” said Lala. “I don’t know where her head is at. Scheana is my friend. I love her, I love her family. She is like family to me. I am proud of her. I will say that over and over again, because that’s what I mean, and that’s where my heart is. I don’t know what she’s out saying. I’ve heard things that she’s talked about on her podcast. Did I listen? No, I didn’t listen. Was I sent little freaking headlines? Yes. Do I care? Not really.”
“I’m sure there was no ill intent behind what she said on her podcast,” Lala went on. “She was not at Sosa’s birthday party, one of the reasons being … [her] family member’s baby shower in Vegas. That’s one of the reasons.”
Lala continued, “She was invited [to the birthday], she was planning on coming. But I did see her — I want to say last weekend — in Palm Springs. I went over to her house. She saw Sosa, we hung out. I saw [her daughter] Summer Moon, she was swimming. Like for me, all is good.”
Lastly, Lala reiterated her love for Scheana.
“Wherever her head is, is where her head is. I love the girl, but it is what it is,” she shared. “I don’t know. I’m just sitting here trying to mind my own … and sometimes it’s very hard because I can’t shut my mouth at times. I could have easily avoided that question. And did I? No.”
Neil Druckmann — co-creator of The Last of Us — has just revealed the reason why he stepped down from his role as co-showrunner ahead of season 3.
Co-showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann did the nearly impossible: successfully create a live-action adaptation of a video game. For two seasons, The Last of Us, based on the video game of the same name, captivated audiences through well-written characters and a distinctive story of a post-apocalyptic world, overcome by a fungus that got into the food supply.
The HBO series started strong, earning several award nominations and a SAG Award win for Pedro Pascal, who played Joel Miller. Season 2's reception waned, with audiences conflicted over the decision to stay true to the video game by killing off one of the two main characters, Joel, thus making Ellie the focus of the story.
It wasn't long after season 2's cliffhanger finale that Druckmann announced he would be stepping back to focus on other pursuits. But why and what's next?
In an interview with Variety, Druckmann revealed why he is leaving the show following season 2.
"Now I felt like the path has been set for it (The Last of Us television show). It was time to go back to the thing that started it all, which is just full-time video game work. But other things are coming and we can announce more things soon.”
He explains how thrilled he was that people watched the show without realizing it was based on a video game. He was excited to know that people who watched the show decided to play the video game it's based on.
With Mazin remaining as showrunner for the series, which has been renewed for season 3, Druckmann can focus on the video game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. What is the status of the video game?
Druckmann explains, "I can tell you we’re in the thick of it. We’re making it, we’re playing it. We’re firing on all cylinders. I’ve said this before, but I really mean it, I’m really feeling it right now: It’s the most ambitious game we’ve ever made."
As for whether we'll be seeing any of The Last of Us cast in
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, he mentioned speaking to Tony Dalton, who played Joel and Tommy's father in The Last of Us season 2 episode 6.
"I DM’d him on Instagram, like 'Hey, man, I don’t know if you’ve done video games before or performance capture, but I think you’d be perfect for this. Do you mind jumping on a Zoom call? I just want to show you something,'" Druckmann added, "He’s like, 'Yeah, I’m in. I’d love to do it.' So Tony Dalton is there, and maybe there’s a few more."
Stream The Last of Us seasons 1 and 2 on HBO MAX.
