The latest Bravolebrity scandal has officially erupted, with two of reality TV’s most iconic women – Lala Kent and Erika Jayne – now entangled in a rumored behind-the-scenes love triangle involving Summer House heartthrob Jesse Solomon.
While speculation about Erika Jayne and Jesse Solomon’s relationship continues to heat up, a sharp-eyed fan noticed a suspicious move: Lala Kent quietly unfollowed Erika Jayne on Instagram just days after cozy photos of Erika and Jesse at the NBCUniversal Upfronts event made headlines.
There was no announcement, no explanation – just silence. But for Bravo diehards, it was the loudest silence possible. A silent war may be brewing.
According to a source close to the Vanderpump Rules cast, Lala had a “flirty, undefined connection” with Jesse Solomon before Erika entered the picture. The two reportedly hit it off at a Bravo afterparty in West Hollywood back in early April. “Jesse was definitely the one making moves,” the source revealed. “He messaged her, asked her to dinner, and they even spent a pretty intimate evening together after the event. But just a week later, Jesse pulled back – and suddenly he’s front and center with Erika.”
An eyewitness at the private cocktail party hosted at the Mandarin Oriental – the one where Erika and Jesse were seen sitting shoulder to shoulder on a plush sofa for over an hour – claimed, “Erika took the lead. She knew Jesse had just been linked to Lala, but that didn’t stop her. For Erika, this was a power move.”
Lala’s silence only fueled speculation. Fan account @BravoDetectives quickly discovered that Lala unfollowed Erika exactly 48 hours after Carl Radke posted the now-infamous photo of Erika and Jesse. At the same time, Lala posted a cryptic story from her private account that read: “You know who never shine on their own? The ones who live off whoever gets left behind.”
Then came the resurfaced clip from a March episode of Watch What Happens Live, in which Andy Cohen asked Lala which Bravolebrity she’d never trust. Lala smirked and answered: “She sings, yells about empowerment, and somehow survived scandal... but I’m not buying it.” At the time, fans thought it was a joke. Now they’re piecing it all together.
A Bravo insider shared that tension between Lala and Erika has simmered for years – not due to open conflict, but due to an unspoken rivalry for the spotlight during major network events. And Jesse Solomon – young, rising, and magnetic – has now become the symbolic trophy in their quiet battle for Bravo dominance.
Currently, both Lala Kent and Erika Jayne have remained completely silent, while Jesse Solomon has quietly disabled comments on Instagram as fans flood his posts with questions about his “double game.”
A source within the Bravo production circle said, “This isn’t just about romance – this is a new war between two Bravo powerhouses. And if Bravo doesn’t have them face off next season, they’ll be wasting one of the biggest reality TV battles in years.”
