It’s the end of an era for Vanderpump Rules.

The VPR The original cast members react to the news that they won’t be returning for season 12. Bravo announced on November 26 that the series was coming back with an entirely new cast. Months of speculation followed that the series would be canceled due to cameras not rolling over the summer – the usual filming schedule.

“Where to begin,” Lala Kent wrote in an Instagram post. “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. Sur was a place that became home. Not only did I find myself there sipping vodka sodas, but also standing behind a hostess stand…it remains to this day the most intimidating job I’ve ever had. A short time later I had the opportunity to be in a show Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me.”

“I have such mixed feelings right now,” she continued. “It’s no secret that I don’t like change. This is the exception. I want to thank you for rocking with us for so many years. This show changed my entire life. I am incredibly grateful for every moment. I am incredibly grateful to Bravo, NBCU, our crew, the entire cast, and most of all, all of you. We rocked this bitch ’til the wheels fell off 💃”
