Lala Kent won’t let the mom shammers tear her down.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star clapped back at haters after she was roasted for posting a thirst trap alongside a picture of her daughter over the weekend.
“I’m so over the mom shaming from some of you women. I’m a parent, work full time, rarely have one moment for just me, and for just one second on the 4th of July I felt hot and wanted a picture,” she said in an Instagram Story Thursday.
“Anything but praise is unwelcome. If you have anything negative to say, go f–ck yourself. Leave me alone.”
The “Give Them Lala” podcast host then clarified that “the kids weren’t watching me take this picture. And even if they were, we all have butts. Take time to love on yours.”
Over the weekend, the blond beauty had posted an Instagram carousel that featured a photo of her daughter, Ocean, and Scheana Shay’s daughter, Summer, over the Fourth of July weekend.
She captioned the post, “Mom’s turn,” because the second snap featured her posing in a thong swimsuit with her hands on her butt.

However, fans weren’t happy with the phone as one person wrote, “Mom’s turn? It’s just weird.”
“Spreading your cheeks for the children. Great role model,” another critic chimed in.
“Wtf is this,” a third commented.
However, not everyone found the sexy snap offensive and rushed to Kent’s defense.
“Quit clutching your pearls,” one fan wrote. “She’s an amazing mama, the only people I see sexualizing this are the ones that think they’re fighting it.”
A second added, “I appreciate a Mom who still can Mom and own her sexuality. For some reason people feel those things can exist at the same time.”
“So many of you are such Karens,” a third person chimed in. “Let the woman live!! She’s an amazing mom and has a stellar body so why not show it? Some of you are stuck in the 1800s. If she wants to post a picture with nothing on who cares!!!”
Kent shares Ocean with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett, 52. The two were first romantically linked in 2015 and got engaged in 2018.
The couple then split in October 2021 amid cheating allegations and have been in the midst of a custody battle.
The Los Angeles Times exposed the producer a year later, alleging he would offer women roles in movies in exchange for sex.
The accusation led to the May 2023 Hulu documentary “The Randall Scandal: Love, Loathing, & Vanderpump.”
Emmett, however, has denied the allegations to Page Six, referring to the documentary as a “vindictive hit piece.”
