Speaking to Page Six on Tuesday, Randall slammed the movie and argued the journalists had a “personal vendetta” in opposition to him. He shared:
“Almost one year ago the Los Angeles Times wrote a highly biased and factually inaccurate hit piece on me. One of the writers, Amy Kaufman, seemed to have a personal vendetta against me, I believe due to her alleged friendship with my ex Lala Kent.”
He then put the fact star on blast — and claimed she was solely doing this to make him look dangerous amid a authorized battle:
“Among other things, the article contained fictitious and greatly exaggerated stories made up by a few former disgruntled employees who had been dismissed. Lala was also a participant in this fiasco, likely because I have been fighting for 50/50 joint legal custody of our child.”

The 52-12 months-previous went on:
“It’s my understanding numerous people were contacted to participate in this documentary and most declined.”
The Midnight within the Switchgrass producer claims he was “told people were encouraged to speak negatively about me while the vast majority had only positive things to say.” Because of this, he believes “the ones who had very definite agendas” have been those who made it onto the display. He continued:
“It also appears to me that very little if any fact-checking took place, with a complete absence of any journalistic integrity whatsoever.”
He then referred to as the movie “nothing more than a vindictive hit piece” and “a regurgitation of the biased Los Angeles Times article.” Furthermore, he thinks that is “a cheap attempt to capitalize on the current ‘Vanderpump Rules’ fever” following Tom Sandoval‘s dishonest scandal. He concluded:
“My family, the people with whom I work and those who matter in my life all know the truth and my accomplishments; I have nothing to prove.”
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times is standing by all the pieces they’ve reported. In a press release to Page Six, they hit again with:
“The Los Angeles Times stands behind its reporting on Randall Emmett. Two veteran entertainment journalists, Amy Kaufman and Meg James, reviewed hundreds of court filings and Emmett’s internal company records and interviewed three dozen former associates in the course of an investigation that published last year. If Emmett would like to dispute any of the facts in our reporting or the information that Kaufman and James share in the documentary, we welcome him to do so.”
