On Wednesday’s episode of theGive Them Lala…with Randallpodcast, Kent discussed the news with guestBrittany Cartwright, though she didn’t divulge many details.
“I want to acknowledge that I’m sure everyone knows what is going on between Randall and myself and just in my personal life,” she said. “There will be a time where I feel comfortable enough to open up and share. Today is definitely not that day. It’s been a lot, I’m going through a lot.”

She told Cartwright, 32, that she’s remaining private about the recent drama in order to protect the 7-month-old.
“I just at this point in time want to protect my child, she’s my number one priority, and I know what I signed up for. I’m on a reality television show, but in this moment, it’s not about me, it is about my kid and privacy is the only thing that I’m looking for for her sake,” Kent said.
She also mentioned how she’s been handling her sobriety through everything, noting that she’s been able to use the tools she’s learned in Alcoholics Anonymous in order to cope.
“We work on it in AA, which is one day at a time — sometimes it’s one minute at a time — and that doesn’t just apply to me with drinking, which, surprisingly, even with everything that’s going on, I’ve never felt stronger in my sobriety,” said Kent, whocelebrated three years soberlast month.

“I’m not going to speak on that relationship at all. It’s a tough position,” Shay replied, with hostAndy Cohenasking if the drama is “satisfying” for her at all.
“No, not at all,” she said. “I don’t like seeing her go through any of this. I talk to Lala almost every day, I’ve checked in on her a lot, she’s doing good.”
