Who would have thought that movie producer and Vanderpump Rules alum Randall Emmett would be working alongside Martin Scorsese? It’s an odd partnership to be sure, and one that Martin may be regretting. The Writers Guild of America West recently came out against Randall and Martin’s new project, Wall of White. They do not want any of their writers working on their film. So, what exactly is the reason why?
Writers Guild of America West has barred members from Randall Emmett and Martin Scorsese’s movie
Randall used to appear in VPR for dating cast member Lala Kent. She had become infamous for her “BJs for PJs” line, and Randall was the one who supplied the PJ. But he and Lala are no more, so work now comes first.
However, Randall has hit a snag when it comes to producing his latest film. And that is, the Writers Guild of America West is banning its writers from working on it. Oop.

The Writers Guild of America West posted their reasoning why via X. They wrote, “Emmett, the founder of Convergence, has been on the WGA Strike/Unfair List since 2020. Two companies he founded and co-owned failed to pay over $700,000 in compensation, P&H contributions and interest due to WGA writers.”
This accusation is nothing new. Randall has been sued for $10 million in damages for an alleged unpaid loan. Even Lala had shared that she had received calls from people asking to collect money when she was with him. Yikes.
The Los Angeles Times also reported on an email the Writers Guild of America West put out regarding the situation. They wrote, “Emmett has a long history of refusing to honor obligations to writers and the Guild has filed numerous arbitration claims against companies owned by Emmett over the last decade.”
They also shared Randall’s response. He stated, “We are fully financing this movie, and we have every intention to settle this dispute in the coming weeks. Our representatives will be reaching out to the Writers Guild so we can put this matter from six years ago behind us.”
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock. It can also be viewed on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
