Defending his approach. Howie Mandel had no regrets about his conversation with Tom Sandoval about infidelity — and he doesn’t care what critics like Lala Kent think.
“It’s funny because they say that I didn’t do homework? It’s very funny because I’m watching some of the people talk about what I did, and they have some very funny takes on me,” Mandel, 67, said during a Wednesday, April 12, appearance on Extra. “Lala in her [Instagram] Story … she’s sitting in some hotel room in New York, in the dark, saying that the lighting was bad on my podcast. She’s in the dark! That was her criticism!”
The America’s Got Talent judge noted that he has “never felt this kind of vitriol” directed toward him. “Twitter feed is a mess of hate,” he said about the online “negativity” that made him feel like he’s “on lockdown.”
Kent, 32, for her part, had some choice words after Sandoval, 40, chose to address his affair with Raquel Leviss on Mandel’s podcast. “It’s not that I don’t dig Howie Mandel. Dope, cool, got it, whatever, but what a weird f–king first interview,” she said via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, April 11. “That is so f–king random. Like, the game show host? The one who fist-bumps you because he’s scared of germs?”
The Utah native referred to the conversation as “strange and so off-brand” due to Mandel’s lack of knowledge on Vanderpump Rules drama.
Kent later clarified her comments about the comedian, saying in an Instagram video on Wednesday, “Something that I realized today is that Howie is a judge on America’s Got Talent. How could I forget about that? He’s, like, legit. For some reason I thought he did Deal or No Deal.” (Mandel hosted Deal or No Deal from 2005 to 2009.)
