Lala Kent got visibly emotional as she revealed on Instagram this week that she’s been dealing with scary health issue.
The 34-year-old star of Vanderpump Rules, who won’t be featured in the Bravo show’s reboot, shared with her followers that she recently consulted a doctor after noticing a discoloration in one of her eyes.
In a reel uploaded on Tuesday, the reality star explained that she ‘originally went to an eye doctor’ and was told it seemed to be just inflammation.
She explained, ‘The prescribed drops just didn’t seem effective, so that prompted me to visit another doctor whom I had heard great things about.’
‘Upon examination, he expressed, “This doesn’t appear to be what you were initially told. I actually recommend a biopsy because it looks like it could potentially be pre-cancerous,”‘ Kent elaborated.
‘So again, maybe. We’re trying to expedite surgery to remove it and see what it actually is.’
In the next video, Lala continued to discuss the next steps and zoomed in to better show the discoloration on the inside of her eye and admitted she’s been ‘obsessing over it.’
The TV personality explained that she first noticed the difference nearly two months earlier when there was ‘just the slightest bit of discoloration.’
She added, ‘Like a week and a half ago it started becoming like an actual – like it looked like a blister to me. And I’m like what is that?
‘Again it could be nothing and that is the hope,’ Kent said before stopping as she became tearful. ‘That when they go in it is nothing.’
During the procedure, the star told her followers that doctors will ‘numb the eye’ before removing the small growth.
The mom-of-two became emotional again as she expressed that she was ‘freaking out a little.’
And on Wednesday, Lala gave another health update after seeing a specialist in regards to her eye and confirmed that it was pre-cancer.
The media personality shared that her next steps will be to use chemotherapy drops over the course of three months.
‘Now I know that sounds terrifying. I cried obviously because when you hear that word…’
When the three months are over, Kent added, ‘At that point in time God willing, it kills all of the cancer cells. If it doesn’t, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. And talk about surgery.’
The star’s latest health update comes just days after she celebrated Mother’s Day over the past weekend.
Lala shared photos to her main Instagram page as she spent time with her children Ocean, four, and baby girl Sosa – whom she shares with ex Randall Emmett.
Another image was taken as she posed with other loved ones including her own mother Lisa Burningham during the special day.
In the caption of the post, she penned to her 2.4 million followers: ‘The house don’t fall when the bones are good. Happy Mother’s Day, babes.’
Lala was previously engaged to Emmett until their split in 2021 when she accused him of having multiple infidelities.
While talking to People a few months earlier in March, she opened up about raising two children as a single mom.
‘I think because I prepared myself for it being absolute torture because people said one is great, two is no f***ing joke. And so I was preparing myself for the worst, but I knew that this moment would be fleeting.’
Kent continued to the outlet, ‘It’s actually been a well-balanced transition. All hands are on deck.’
She also revealed that she would possibly want to continue to grow her family later in the future.
‘I play it by ear. I have not canceled out having one more. I think that I just, I’m not ready for that stage of my life to be over, you know, the having kids.’
Kent added, ‘The next time that my flesh and blood, I guess, in baby form would be when my girls have kids of their own. So I’m just not ready to be done with it, especially when I look at Ocean and Sosa as like brand new babies.
‘I’m like, “I got to have one more.” Plus they’re so d**n cute. I just make cute kids.’
Lala is also known for being one of the main cast members on the hit Bravo series Vanderpump Rules.
But late last year in November, it was announced that the show would be getting an entirely new cast – with only Lisa Vanderpump returning. It came after the future of the series was left rocky amid a feuding cast.
