Mauricio Umansky Calls Out Lala Kent With DM Receipts

When someone claims they never opened a message, the receipts can tell a different story. That’s exactly what went down between Mauricio Umansky and Lala Kent after she made some public comments about a direct message he allegedly sent her.

Here’s where it gets interesting: Lala went on her podcast and claimed Mauricio asked her via DM to grab coffee, but insisted she never even opened it or responded. She said she wasn’t sure of his intentions and made it clear there was“not a chance”she would have met up with him. Simple enough—except Mauricio wasn’t having it.

TMZ obtained the actual DM from February 24, 2024, and it reads:“Hey Lala, how are you? Hey I am wondering since you seem to have an opinion and speculations about me as to whether I am a player or not I would like to talk to you. Let me know if you are up for that. By phone or happy to get a coffee?”The message shows Mauricio wasn’t just casually throwing out a coffee invite—he was asking for a real conversation about what she’d been saying about him, with the coffee suggestion coming at the end.

When confronted about the contradiction while out recently, Mauricio made a sharp observation: if Lala truly never opened the message, how would she have even known about the coffee part? The request for coffee appears in the final lines, meaning she would’ve had to read the entire message to know it was there. It’s the kind of logical gotcha moment that doesn’t leave much room for wiggle room. The back-and-forth highlights how a simple disagreement about what was actually said—and what was actually read—can escalate fast when one side has receipts and the other has a different version of events.
