Lala Kent has hinted that she may not return to "Vanderpump Rules" after the emotional taping of the Season 9 reunion.

On Wednesday's episode of her "Give Them Lala" podcast, Kent, 31, discussed her future, revealing that she doesn't know whether or not she would return to the hit reality show if Bravo renews it for a 10th season.

"[If] tomorrow they call me and say, 'We've been picked up,' I would take a big pause because I don’t know if that’s the space for me anymore," she said.

She cited the recent taping of the Season 9 reunion as one of the reasons she's considering leaving the show.

"I left that reunion feeling not much resolve. I left feeling a bit alone and isolated," Kent admitted. "I’ve been on this show for six years. I’ve changed a lot as a person — no one can tell me otherwise. … But after that reunion, I sat back and thought, ‘Is this the space for me anymore or do we need to do some soul-searching?'"

The "Vanderpump Rules" Season 9 reunion hasn't aired yet, but she hinted that it didn't go well and that she took the brunt of the criticism while filming it.

"I didn’t hear from one person on my cast except for Raquel [Leviss] to say, 'Hope you're doing OK [after the reunion],'" Kent revealed, adding that it was "very telling" for her.

Kent, who had called off her two-year engagement to Randall Emmett in October, said she had been "visibly upset" on set amid her personal struggles.

While Kent insisted that the cast members were not "bad people," she said it was "eye-opening" that none of her other friends on set, except Leviss, tried to reach out and talk to her despite knowing she was "going through something."

Kent joined the series during Season 4 in 2015 and has documented her relationship with Emmett, 50, on TV ever since. In Season 9, the pair, who share 8-month-old daughter Ocean, discussed their future as they planned their wedding following their September 2018 engagement.

However, Kent ended her relationship with the film producer in October over photos of him hanging out with other women in Nashville.

Kent's co-stars Leviss and James Kennedy also called off their engagement this month after five years together. In a joint statement, the pair said they decided to part ways because they had "two different goals."

Another co-star, Scheana Shay, said in an earlier interview with Page Six that her friendship with Kent has become "very solid" since the last season, in which Kent revealed during a group scene that Shay's fiancé, Brock Davies, had been involved in a violent argument with his ex-wife in his native Australia when he was 19.

Shay, whose own divorce from ex-husband Mike Shay played out on "Vanderpump Rules" in 2017, made it clear that she didn't "want to see any family torn apart, whether it's a divorce or a breakup."

"I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, and she is far from my worst enemy. She’s a good friend, so it was really upsetting to hear about all of that. And I just wish them all the best," she said of Kent.

"Vanderpump Rules" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
