Coffee Wars: Lala Kent Fires Back at Mauricio Umansky Over DM Drama

Sometimes a simple DM about coffee becomes a full-blown celebrity showdown, and that’s exactly what’s unfolding between Lala Kent and Mauricio Umansky. What started as a private message invitation has exploded into a very public battle of insults—and it’s getting messier by the day.

Here’s what went down: The Valley newbie took to her podcast,“Untraditionally Lala,”to claim that Mauricio Umansky, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, had sent her a direct message asking to grab coffee. According to Lala, she never even opened it or responded to his request. She explained that she wasn’t confident about his true intentions and made it clear there was“not a chance”she would’ve agreed to meet up with him anyway.

Mauricio saw things very differently. He felt that Lala’s podcast commentary made it sound like he was making a romantic move on her—something he apparently wanted to distance himself from. So he hit back, calling her a“f—ing liar”over the same DM platform where the coffee invite had originated. Not exactly the move of someone trying to keep things civil.

Now Lala’s had the last word (at least for now). She fired back on her podcast, calling Mauricio an“embarrassing, shameful loser”and taking a dig at his age in the process, noting he’s“old enough to be my f—ing dad.”She also expressed disappointment that he didn’t show more maturity in how he handled the whole situation, seemingly hoping he’d be above dragging her publicly.

The gloves are clearly off, and if there’s one thing the Bravo universe does best, it’s turning small slights into sprawling feuds. This coffee combat doesn’t feel anywhere close to over—and with two strong personalities refusing to back down, expect more drama before either party decides to move on.
