Lala can go fuck herself. But who you DO NOT FUCK WITH IS BRUCE FUCKING WILLIS. HE IS AN ICON!
Sources said Emmett was happy to keep attaching Willis’ name to films, even as the action hero stumbled. In September 2020, Emmett was directing Willis, now 67, in “Midnight in the Switchgrass” and couldn’t get the actor to kick in a door — even with the help of a stunt coordinator, according to several crew members. In frustration, he left the set and a confused Willis asked, “Did I do something wrong?”
That evening, Emmett allegedly called his then-fiancée Kent in tears. “I can’t do this anymore,” Kent said he told her. “It’s just so sad. Bruce can’t remember any of his lines. He doesn’t know where he is.”
But he didn’t stop working with the “Die Hard” star. After that phone call, he went on to make five more action movies with Willis and allegedly used the A-lister as a cash cow for Emmett/Furla Oasis, his former production company with partner George Furla.
When the pair would need an infusion of money to pay off debts, they’d discuss making “another bulls–t Bruce Willis movie,” according to former assistant Anna Szymanska.
The numerous allegations in the LA Times story have been denied by Emmett. He said the teary conversation with Kent did not take place and that he was unaware of Willis’ declining health. In a statement provided to The Post, his spokesperson Sallie Hofmeister said “Randall is very proud of the work he and Bruce Willis have done over the last 15 years. In every single movie they have worked on together, Bruce enjoyed being on set, playing golf, going to dinners, and communing with the crew. If Bruce had not wanted to be on set, he would not have been there. Willis is one of the greatest actors of his time and was sought after by multiple production companies until his recent retirement. Randall counts him among his closest friends.”
Emmett carved out a niche in Tinseltown producing bad movies with aging action stars (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) such as Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino and Willis, the latter of whom reportedly made $2 million for two days of work. While domestically they were straight-to-DVD flops, the flicks would be financial successes in international markets.
An attorney for Bruce Willis has defended the the shit bag claiming Bruce Willis wanted to work after his aphasia diagnosis.
I think Randall is an ass on many levels, but I think Bruce Willis needed to work for a couple of reasons. One is that it would keep him from declining mentally/physically at a more rapid pace. The other is that actors are covered by their union insurance only if they’re working, and medical bills, even for people with money, become difficult to pay.
I don’t give a shit about Bruce working for Randall because I think it was a mutual benefit. Bryce was earning $2,000,000 for 2-4 days.
I do love this article!! Blasting Randall. What a skeeze.
Lala is not innocent in this and I don’t think she should get anything from it. She knew who he was before she spent 7 years w him.
There are no villains except possibly Bruce’s family who should have convinced him to retire with some dignity. It was well known on the sets that he was having cognitive difficulties.
However the ability to make several million dollars for a few hours of work was too tempting.
Why is the producer being singled out – Bruce had family, agents, managers and business managers who had a vested interest in keeping him *working* – and by working I mean showing up so that his name could be used to get distribution deals for schlocky films that were chiefly aimed at the foreign market.
Love me when I say this but when you get older you do all you can to live. Your family will honor your wishes long as. Bruce has a close knit family. He’s not hurting anyone. I suspect he wants to live. ✌

Thank you Nanette 🥰
RE is sketch as hell. The roosters are coming home to roost.
I think it was mutually beneficial, an even exchange. Yes, Bruce was declining but what other producer/director was offering Bruce work? I’m glad Randall did the movies with Bruce and kept Bruce’s secret. It’s probably why the family continued to have Bruce in Randall’s movies. They were able to announce his aphasia in their own time.
I think Bruce is beloved throughout Hollywood because no one leaked his condition although it was known on movie sets.
Randall and Lala are the same, both are more than sketchy but I give Randall a little bit of credit. He employed Bruce when others didn’t and paid him well.
Bruce is my favorite, ( along with Denzel Washington) I have watched every movie he’s been in and I love the reruns of his TV show. I was sorry to hear of his aphasia/ dementia and I’m happy he has a large supportive family. All the best to him.
I love Bruce Willis, I grew up watching Moon Lighting.
Willis was BRILLIANT in that show! I don’t know who did the casting, but that person deserves a 🏆 for putting the perfect person in that role.
I believe that HER MAN may have called LaLa crying. As for afterward, not to defend RE, but it wasn’t his story to tell. Willis’ legacy is not diminished by the crappy RE movies. He needed the insurance, and it may have given him what he needed mentally to have a job to do. Likely, he wants to take care of his family, even now.
It does not seem like RE took advantage of Willis. Who knows, they may have had a serious talk about the future. We don’t know…
But RE still is a POS. And Willis still is an icon and a genius actor.

OKAY, NOW I AM MAD AT RANDALL EMMETT or more likely LALA KENT!
Tamara has shared several times that I do her Instagram account. Mostly copy + pasting the first few lines from each post as a teaser. Putting on the photos. An occasional evil haiku…
The earlier post on Lala and HER MAN was removed by Instagram. It was not in keeping with the “positive environment.” WTF?
Was it the “PJs for BJs,” which are Lala’s OWN WORDS? That was where I cut it off. I don’t know if it were because of the lines about concern for a child, which is a GOOD THING, right?
There is SO MUCH WORSE said on Instagram! Hell … anything with Nene’s name or Diana’s …
I reposted it, citing the original removal, editing out what might be “the offending sentences.” Good, maybe people will flock to the website to see what was so offensive! Curious what will happen.
I think someone (Lala? Lala Stan? Lala bot?) reported it. I doubt an automated scanner would have flagged it. 🤬😡👺
You know more than I do about IG. But I believe the article started with Lala can go fuck herself. LOL
That was this article. The first one didn’t seem that bad at all.
I debated, then purposely left the “go fuck herself” on this IG post. If not Lala, then likely some Clarence Thomas loving “child protector” reported it because they didn’t like you questioning what was good for a child. Because they know what’s best for EVERYONE!
It wasn’t as if you called them a douchecanoe and a cuntsatchel! Bwahahahaha! LOFL!
You have been on fire lately! 😂 Between Tamara’s recaps/posts and your comments, this site has been even more entertaining than it usually is (and it’s always pretty damn entertaining).
Oh, thank you.
Don’t you just love that we have a place to vent, laugh, cry, snark? And, perhaps most important, a place to support each other. And Tamara.
Tamara has created something special here. She gives US all the credit, but SHE was the one who gave us this space.

Wow that LA Times article was fire. I’m not sure if Randall was a snake oil salesmen or if he actually had a small amount of talent. He was attached to a few notable movies.
All this shows me is that Lala was so stupid that she met Randall and fell for the flashy lifestyle, that was kinda supported by a pyramid scheme. Randall owes so many people money, and he was taking money from investors to make his low budget movies and pay off women without creating something of value.
I’m embarrassed that I’ve seen some of these movies and didn’t even know they were his. The one with the woman who began working for Nazis, I just watched that a few months ago and wow it was terrible.
Tl;dr: Lala is an idiot because the best she could do was this loser. She should have stuck to being a yacht girl. She really thought he was so awesome, lol.
I am starting, or more accurately, REVISITING, my initial feelings that all of that “MY MAN IS SO AWESOME, was to convince HERSELF, more than us, that he was.
Randall and LaLa are both pieces of shit in my opinion.
OKAY, NOW I AM MAD AT RANDALL EMMETT AND THE PEOPLE RIPPING HIS FAMILY!
People all over the INTERNETS are calling out Bruce’s family for “allowing him to continue working” after they “knew” he was sick.
First: They do not know when they were told of his illness. He is an actor, he is used to “putting on.” He May have hidden or denied the disease.
Second: MAYBE HE WANTED to continue to work for as long as he could. Lose it or lose it.
Give the man and his family some grace. ✊
“MY MAN.” No one with a rational mind ever talks like this!!!!! She was extra defensive because she was trying so hard to convince herself.
Agree! LaLa was such a fool. And she thought she was better than the others HaHaHaHa! Jokes on her. I feel badly for her daughter …. she has two sh*t parents.
I wonder if Jeff Lewis ever got paid for the design work he did on that heinous house La + ER were decorating on VPR. I couldn’t believe how ugly that house was! I imagine Bravo paid him … hope they did.
I’ve been waiting for Jeff Lewis to comment on all of this shit.
I might remember incorrectly, but I think Jeff referred to Randall as “my client, Randall Emmett,” and Lala as “his girlfriend.” Not as “Lala from Vanderpump Rules.” My memory might me off, plus Lala was so entitled on that show that I couldn’t watch the entire episode.
Yes. Jeff remodeled their home and added the pickle ball court. Lol.
“Rand” is a total sleaze. Obvious from the moment his married ass became Lala’s sugar daddy. Nothing surprising here.
*subject change* Question? Why, why, why would bravo court Jesus jugs to come back to OC?? 😣 Am I alone in never wanting to see her on my tv again?
I PRAY (LOFL, PI) to see Alexis Jesus Jugs on my TV again … NEVER!
Seeing her thirsty ass on Below Deck was gross. Why do these women think “marry me, marry me, marry me! NOW!” is going to lead to a good marriage?
Look how well it worked for poor old Vikki “Family Van” Gunvalson. Brooks “Did It for New Teeth” Ayers and Steve “WeeWee” Lodge didn’t go for it. Now she’s with another guy who never wants to marry.
I hope she does come back … I can only imagine how much it’ll piss Heather off and we might actually have something to watch.
