Ariana Madix, Lala Kent and more ‘Vanderpump Rules’ stars react to great casting

It’s the end of an era.

Shortly after it was announced that “Vanderpump Rules” would return for a twelfth season with an all-new cast, many of the OGs took to social media to respond to the bombshell.

“vanderpump rules you’ll be that girl forever 💖 i was up until 4am looking for the right pictures and the right words but there’s no post or caption that could ever sum it all up,” Ariana Madix captioned a carousel of photos from her time on the show on Tuesday.

“I am forever grateful to have been part of such an incredible cultural phenomenon. thank you @bravotv, @lisavanderpump, @evolutionusa for every experience over the past 10+ years.”

Madix — who joined the show in Season 2 — noted that while she will miss “every crew member, producer and our showrunners,” they have her phone number so they can “just text me.”

The 39-year-old also thanked fans for tuning into the show and supporting her and the cast before ending the post with a heartfelt closing statement.

“I am at peace with closing this chapter and excited for all that is to come. I don’t know if those were the best days of our lives, but it was definitely something special 💖,” Madix wrote.

Lala Kent — who joined ‘Vanderpump Rules’ in season 4 — also took to Instagram to write a farewell letter about her time on the show.

“Where to start. I was a young girl from Salt Lake City coming to LA. “I introduced myself as Lauren, but because my childhood best friend called me Lala, my nickname quickly stuck,” she wrote in the post on Tuesday.

“Sur was a place that became a home. Not only did I find myself there sipping vodka sodas, but I was also sitting behind a hostess stand… it’s still to this day the most intimidating job I’ve ever had.

“A short time later, I got the opportunity to be on a show called Vanderpump Rules. I have such mixed feelings right now. It’s no secret that I don’t like change. This is the exception,” Kent, 34, continued.

Kent concluded her message by thanking fans for “rocking with us” and for changing her “whole life.”

“We rocked this bitch until the wheels fell off,” she said.

Katie Maloney — who joined the show’s cast in 2013 — wrote on her Instagram on Tuesday that her time on the show was a “mixed bag.”

“But I wouldn’t change anything. Thank you for the memories and love over the past eleven years,” the 37-year-old wrote.

Bravo director Andy Cohen shared a cryptic post via X on Tuesday, seemingly responding to the “Vanderpump Rules” renewal.

“These were the best days of our lives…,” he wrote in the post, seemingly referencing the show’s theme song, “Raise Your Glass” by Dreamy Sugar.

Earlier this month, Tom Schwartz hinted that the series is coming to an end.

“I know all good things come to an end, so I’m enjoying every moment of it while it’s still going on. I don’t know what the future looks like, but I’m optimistic!” he told Page Six.
