Even though Kristen Doute is on a new Bravo show, The Valley, she didn’t leave her pot-stirring ways in West Hollywood.
Kristen ruffled a few feathers in a new sneak peek for this week’s episode of the Vanderpump Rules spin-off. When Jax Taylor was conversing with Brittany Cartwright about girls’ night, she told him Kristen unleashed a bomb that caused much chaos.
“Kristen starts bringing up that Janet [Caperna] told Jasmine [Goode] that Michelle [Lally] was racist and a Republican and all this crap,” Brittany explained. “Then she said, ‘Actually, that is what Zack [Wickham] told me.’”
Michelle and Jesse Lally are “furious” with Kristen in Episode 3 of The Valley
Later in the teaser clip, Michelle sat with her then-husband, Jesse Lally, to explain the night’s events. “I’m still shocked to be honest with you. Like completely shocked,” she said. “I’m really upset because Janet wouldn’t say that or else she wouldn’t be my friend. I’m the one who is first-generation Mexican and Persian. I’m just so shocked and confused by the whole thing.”
Michelle spoke with Janet on the phone, who denied Kristen’s version of the story.
“OK, that’s complete bulls—t. To throw around a huge accusation like that. I need to have a conversation with her because that makes me furious with her,” she said. “That word and your name has never come out of my mouth in the same sentence. This is a whole new low even for Kristen.”
Janet and Kristen aren’t on the best terms…
In her confessional with producers, Janet explained why she felt Kristen would loop her in with a damaging rumor about Michelle.
“Kristen and I have been close for years. About a year ago, I had to put up a boundary with Kristen because her relationship with Alex [Menache] was so up and down that it was making my head spin. As soon as I put up a boundary with Kristen, she didn’t like that.”
Since then, Kristen has seemingly tried to sabotage her every chance she gets.
“It feels like any opportunity she has to throw me under the bus, she does,” Janet told producers. “To wait until her sick pregnant friend isn’t around to throw around a huge accusation like that. F—k her.”
The Valley continues on Tuesdays at 9/8c.
