Vanderpump Rules: Season 8 cast shakeup – who cheated on who?

Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent sparked casting rumors over the weekend with an Instagram post.

Vanderpump Rules is currently filming for season eight of the series, no doubt catching every excruciating detail of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s Kentucky wedding.  Besides that, we have some new Sur employees in the mix, and some old employees on their way out.

Lala Kent posted the following photo on Instagram over the weekend, captioning it: “Two OG’s and our new bad b—-.”

I find this slightly humorous considering no one in the photo is an original cast member. Anyway, Lala and Ariana Madix are seen in the post hanging out by the pool with a friend, Dayna Kathan.  Lala has since deleted the photo.

Dayna who?

However, rumored new cast member, Dayna Kathan, is not new to the group at all.  Dayna appears to have been friends with the Vanderpump Rules crew as far back as July of last year.

The Sur Instagram account posted a photo of Dayna, Raquel Leviss, and another potential new cast member, Dana Caprio, back in May of this year.  She also attended the pride event at Sur in June.

Raquel has been working at Sur for a few months as well, so no doubt she will be featured next season.  James Kennedy’s future on the show remains uncertain.

Bye-bye Billie

This casting news comes on the heels of rumors that Billie Lee is leaving the show because producers wanted her involved in a cheating scandal storyline with Tom Sandoval.  Tom and Ariana have been together for years at this point – I wonder how she felt about this?

Earlier this month, Billie reportedly refused to wear a mic for Tom’s birthday party, and soon after, refused to film at all.  Word on the street is that the Billie / Tom hookup will still be a heavily discussed storyline, along with Katie Maloney Schwartz and Tom Schwartz not being married. 

What a wild and wacky season this is shaping up to be already!  What do you think about some new cast members joining the show? Let us know in the comments.

Vanderpump Rules is currently filming for the eighth season on Bravo.
