'Vanderpump Rules' Alum Lala Kent Shares Devastating Health Update With Fans

Throughout much of 2025, reality TV star Lala Kent has been keeping fans in the loop about her health. Back in mid-March, the Vanderpump Rules alum took to her Instagram Story to share that she had undergone a breast exam. Later that day, she also provided an update on her eye health.

Lala told her followers that she visited the eye doctor "for the first time since I was literally in elementary school," and learned that she has astigmatism.

Now, in May 2025, the Bravolebrity has continued to open up, offering even more insights into her health. Here's everything you need to know.

On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Lala shared a serious health update in a series of videos on her Instagram Story. The podcast host began, "I wanted to update you guys, because I did that video on Mother's Day about my eye situation."

"I originally went to an eye doctor, and he was like, 'Oh yeah, it just looks like an inflamed pinguecula,' right?" she explained. "And a lot of people wrote in (online) and were saying that same type of thing, or maybe it was allergies."

However, the Bravo star wasn't convinced by that assessment and decided to seek a second opinion: "For some reason, that just didn't feel right because the [eye] drops [the doctor] gave me weren't working," she said.

Fortunately, the second doctor was more direct, but what he told Lala was something no one ever wants to hear. Still, he didn't waste any time and immediately began taking steps to properly address the issue.

Lala Kent shared an emotional and honest health update with her followers on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. She revealed that she had seen a new eye doctor that day, one who "came very highly recommended."

According to Lala, the doctor looked at her eye and immediately dismissed the previous diagnosis of an inflamed pinguecula. She recalled him saying, "I do not think it is [an inflamed pinguecula] at all. I actually want to biopsy it because, to me, it looks like it could be pre-cancer."

In response, the medical team began working quickly to schedule a surgery to remove the mass and determine exactly what it is.

Lala explained that her concerns began around March when she noticed a little bit of "discoloration" on the sclera, aka the "white of the eye." She showed a close-up image of the area and pointed out a small pink bump near her iris.

"I know I've shown you guys a million times, but I've been obsessing over it," she said in a follow-up video. "I was like, 'That is so weird. What is that?' A week and a half ago, it started becoming an actual — it looked like a blister to me… Again, it could be nothing, and that is the hope that when they go in that it's nothing."

On Wednesday, May 14, Lala returned to Instagram to share a significant update on her health. She confirmed that the spot on her eye has been diagnosed as pre-cancerous.

She met with a specialist that morning, who instantly laid out a treatment plan involving chemotherapy eye drops.

"Now I know that sounds terrifying. I cried, obviously, because … when you hear that word [cancer]," Lala expressed with emotion. She recalled the specialist telling her, "I want you to do the chemo drops for three months. We're gonna do a week of them and go off for three weeks, and we're gonna do that for three months."

Lala wrapped up the update with a hopeful outlook, noting, "At that point in time, God willing, it kills all the cancerous cells. If it doesn't, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it and talk about surgery.
