Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, gorgeous. It's La La Kent. Welcome to untraditionally Laala, Hello,
my loves. I just want to say I had the
best time at Bravocon. So I'm currently recording this on
my phone in a closet in Hawaii, because you guys know,
(00:20):
for the past three years I bring my family here
for two weeks. It's filled with no makeup, it is
filled with hair being everywhere, no shoes. It is the
time of our lives. These are the best days of
our lives. But I will say there was something so
amazing for me about Bravocon this year. And I can't
(00:43):
quite put my finger on why it was so amazing,
but it just felt for me like there was no pressure.
You guys know, I'm not some like fashion girly, you know.
I like my I like feeling sexy, I like feeling cute.
(01:03):
But the pressure of it because you've got, you know,
one hundred and fifty plus Bravo lebs that are showing
up to be like the most fabulous and stunning and
snatched people you've ever seen in your life, and so
there is an element of like me feeling, I guess
anyone feeling. I talked to many of the housewives. Just
(01:27):
a little bit of pressure, you know, wanting to look good,
but also it being a very long day, and you
you want to be kind to everybody, but it's also
exhausting you want to say the right thing. I got
a lot of people saying to me, you know, on
the panel where it was announced finally that Schwartzy and
(01:47):
I will be full time cast members on the Valley,
that I needed to own the stage, and I seemed nervous.
And although I had a wonderful Bravo con and I
didn't feel much pressure for that panel, I think once
I sat down it did hit me. Like the last
time I had done a panel about the show that
(02:08):
I was on, which was vander Pump Rules, I felt
a bit suffocated by it. I was very nervous. I
obviously knew what had happened season eleven, but the audience
did not, And so I knew going into this Valley
panel and people asking questions or knowing that I was
(02:28):
a full time cast member, it was going to ruffle
some feathers. I know that a lot of you love
that show, and you know you may or may not
have wanted to see me up here. So if you didn't,
you shouldn't watch, because I'm definitely on it and I'm excited.
(02:51):
I had a heyday. I was worried that I offended people,
like on my cast, that's weird to say, wow, on
my cast of The Valley, that still feels so weird,
you guys, with what I said saying that they weren't
a well oiled machine. And I didn't mean that as
(03:12):
a bad thing. They're two seasons in. It's a strange
thing to pinpoint how you're feeling and being black and
white and trying to avoid the gray of life and
then having a camera crew capture everything and being called
out on details. So I just felt like that's what
I meant. I just felt like they only had two
(03:35):
seasons under their belt, and you know, usually I well,
the one case going on to vander Pump, I was
the well oiled machine with the Valley, but going on
to vander Pump, it was a well oiled machine. So
I was kind of taught by the fucking best. But
I had such a great time filming The Valley. I
think you guys will really like the season. I know
(03:57):
that season two was really dark, but that was life.
I mean, these shows capture what's really happening in our lives,
and there will be a very different vibe for season three.
I feel like there is lightness and pettiness and all
the things that make us all obsessed with reality television.
(04:21):
With that, I want to say that someone I had
heard rumblings about this Q and A that Jeff Lewis
and Andy Cohen did, and this man stood up and
talked about his sobriety journey and how he bought a
ticket to Bravocan because he felt like he wanted to
(04:42):
celebrate his recovery, and unfortunately he did not make it
to Bravocn, meaning in his recovery, and so he wanted
to punish himself and not go. And then he listened
to untraditionally La La, the episode where I talk about
my sweet dog Lily and how she got me through
(05:05):
the hardest moments of my life and kept me sober
for many moments of my life, or I guess in
the seven years that I've been sober. And he said
once he listened to that, he said he could relate
(05:25):
because he also has a dog who's gotten him through
many tough moments. And he decided to come to Bravo Khan,
and he also praised Andy and Bravo for casting people
on these shows that people can relate to and at
times save lives, you know, in his case. And I
(05:48):
want to say this first. Hearing that is so humbling
to me. You know, there's so many moments, whether it's
us in recovery or us wanting to change things in
our in our lives, or how we are as people
and going God, I really wish I wasn't like born
(06:12):
this way, Like I wish that I didn't hold onto things,
and I wish that I could, you know, get out
of my own head, whatever it may be. And we
think that the answer is to punish ourselves and that
tomorrow doesn't exist because we're so in it. And I
know that feeling better than anybody where you're like, I
just am. I'm in it. I can't see the light
(06:33):
I'm in I'm in guilt and shame and anger, and
you start looping and spiraling. And I just want to
say to this guy and I acknowledged him on Instagram,
but hopefully he listens to untraditionally Lalla each week so
(06:54):
that he knows that I see him and I hear
him and for him to stand and shared that part
of his life and what he struggles with. I mean,
I wasn't in awe and I just found that to
be so beautiful. And I hope that this does not
(07:14):
come off as cheesy, but it's moments like that that
made me go wow, Like all of the mean things
that people say about me, like this one moment makes
being on TV and sharing my story and my authentic self,
it makes it all so fucking worth it. So I'm
(07:37):
so appreciative for you that you stood up and shared
that part of yourself. It helped me. So often I
feel alone and I know that that probably sounds shocking
because we're all just viewers right from the outside. We
don't know what someone's really going through. But you know,
(07:58):
life can be extremely isolating, so you made me feel
less alone. I am wishing you all of the best
in your recovery journey. Just know that if you have
a slip up, it's all good. You can get back
on the horse. Do not give it up. This journey
is worth it. And I'm thinking about you, I'm praying
(08:20):
for you, I'm sending you so much love, and in
the moments of weakness, I hope that you can sit
back and take a moment, because it always passes. Rough
moments are not forever. And then to follow up what
Jeff said, where people in recovery or I guess he
(08:43):
said if you're in recovery, you shouldn't be at Bravo con.
Let me tell you something. I attended my first Bravo
Con a year into my sobriety, and a year is nothing,
especially in an environment like Bravo Con. I've never been
to Bravo Kan without being a person in recovery. Like
(09:05):
I love Jeff Lewis so much and he's so funny.
I was deeply saddened and hurt and offended by that
comment because bravocon is for people who fucking love Bravo.
We all love it. It's amazing, it's fun. It's not
a place where you only come to get fucked up.
(09:26):
It's where you come to quote all of the most
iconic housewife lines and relate to the woman who talks
about you know, her son who's struggling, or me, the
person in recovery. Like that's the core of fucking Bravocon.
So I don't want anybody for the next one to
(09:48):
feel like they don't belong because they may be in recovery.
I'm right there with you, babe. It's a lot, it's intense,
but we got this. I just wanted to make this
quick little episode voice note. I don't know to tell
you guys that I love you so much. I'm so
so happy that you guys share your stories and make
(10:12):
all of us feel like we're in this together. It
truly does make putting our lives out there worth it,
and it makes it so much easier to silence the
noise of the hate. And I'm really really excited to
be back on your guys's TVs. Even for those of
(10:32):
you who may not want it. I'm here, baby, I'm
not going anywhere. I told you. I told you. If
you don't want it, you better close your eyes and
plug your ears. I love you, guys. Thank you for
listening to untraditionally La La. I hope whoever came out
(10:55):
to Vegas for Bravo Con had the most lit time ever.
I know I did. I even cracked open an energy drink.
That's when you know it's a party for La La.
I will catch you guys next week. Have the best
day ever. Love you, Bye.
