Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent calls for SeaWorld boycott in dramatic PETA ad: ‘It just devastates me'
Lala Kent has made boycott calls for marine parks like SeaWorld. In a dramatic new advertisement for PETA, the Vanderpump Rules star stripped down to a bikini while letting out silent screams underwater. In a Page Six interview published on Monday, she revealed how the exploitation of orcas 'devastates' her.
'When I think about my kids and our bond, I just can't imagine my babies being torn away from me,' Kent told the outlet, referring to the confinement of orcas in tanks as part of entertainment attractions in amusement parks. In an accompanying poster for the PETA ad, the 34-year-old can be seen trying to reach the surface.
A message on the poster reads, 'The Reality: Animals Suffer at SeaWorld.' Meanwhile, Kent told the outlet, 'If I had a parent standing in front of me, talking about how they're taking their kid to SeaWorld, my first word would be 'don't.'' 'Orcas are meant to be in a pod. That is how they thrive. And babies who are being torn away from their mothers, they end up self-destructing.'
The reality star went on to say, 'These mammals swim up to 150 miles a day together and you're telling me that we're going to keep them in a tank for the rest of their lives? It just devastates me because I know what that bond looks like between me and my girls,' adding, 'That's nothing short of someone taking your heart away.'
Kent, who shares daughter Ocean, 4, with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett and 7-month-old daughter, Sosa, whom she welcomed via a sperm donor, revealed that she has taught her children 'from the time they were little' that marine parks are off limits.'We do not exploit animals — period,' she said, adding, 'Tell people not to go to these places. Educate them. Don't go. Shut these places down so they don't exist anymore.'

Dakota Johnson Stays Silent On Her Break-Up With Chris Martin
Washington: Dakota Johnson preferred to stay silent on her recent breakup with Chris Martin during an appearance on the chat show 'Late Night With Seth Meyers'. Johnson spoke about her new movie 'Materialists', helmed by director and writer Celine Song, whom the actress said she was "obsessed" with after seeing her Oscar-nominated "Past Lives." Johnson and Meyers also playfully described the new film as a "rom-dramedy," reported Page Six. The silence came only one day after it was revealed that she and the Coldplay frontman had ended their relationship after nearly eight years. Johnson was photographed exiting The Greenwich Hotel in New York City before her late-night engagement. The "50 Shades of Grey" actress, 35, and singer, 48, started dating in 2017 and had an on-again, off-again romance for nearly eight years before calling it quits. The silence comes just one day after news broke that she and the Coldplay frontman split for good following nearly eight years together. The longtime couple shares a home in Malibu, where they were last photographed together in May, reported Page Six. In January, they were photographed happily holding hands during an outing in India, months after rumours suggested they had broken off their engagement and split. However, a representative said, "The reports are not true," adding, "They are happily together," according to Page Six. Sources previously confirmed in March 2024 that the couple had been engaged for years; however, they preferred to keep their relationship private. "They are in no rush to plan the wedding but are just enjoying making their commitment official," a source informed. Johnson, whose parents are 80s icons Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, has rarely opened up about the relationship. But in March 2024, the actress shared how she felt about watching the singer perform. "I love watching him," she told Bustle at the time. "I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing." As for Martin's kids, Apple and Moses, whom he shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, she also shares a bond with them. "I love those kids like my life depends on it," Dakota told the outlet. "With all my heart," reported Page Six.
