Kristen Dout is doing her best, everyone.
The Vanderpump Rules alum, aka Crazy Kristen, will appear Vanderpomp spinoff The valley, and you can expect some chaos to ensue. Speak at The valley premiere party at Jax’s Studio City, she teased what to expect.
“I will say that I’m not perfect and that I’m human, and there are some crazy Kristen moments,” she shared exclusively We weekly on Thursday, March 14. “She came with me and I tried to send her home and she just wanted to hang up.”
Kristen, 41, and costar Stassi Schroeder were fired Vanderpump Rules in 2020 after cast member Believe Stowers, a black woman, revealed that the two reported her for a crime she did not commit. Kristen briefly returned to the show in 2023.
She has since started dating Lucas Broderick after meeting him at a mutual friend’s wedding. Kristen credits Luke, who is also her podcast cohost “Sex, Love and What Else Matters,” with helping her filter her thoughts as she works to be less reactive.
“I don’t have to say everything right now,” she said Us on Thursday. ‘Lucas teaches me to hold those thoughts and debate them when I have to say them out loud. And maybe don’t go into everyone’s relationships and marriages because I don’t know them.
She expanded her relationship with Luke, who will also be featured The valley.
“I loved connecting with someone from the Midwest who has the best head on his shoulders and isn’t afraid to communicate how he feels, but is also very gentle and celebrates my weird quirkiness,” she said.
Kristen also had a lot to say about Stassi, who won’t be a part of it The valley after she and husband Beau Clark had a fight with Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwright.
“Stassi is great television. She’s obviously so good at it, but it’s just not where she is in her life right now,” Kristen said. ‘I think she made that quite clear in the press as well. She loves her bubble now. She works and does so well for herself and her family.”
While talking about keeping “Crazy Kristen” at bay, she finished with a quick little jab at her The valley Co-star.
“Jax could take a page out of my book,” she joked.
The valley premieres on Bravo Tuesday, March 19, following a new episode of Vanderpump Rules and will stream on Peacock the next day. Starting Tuesday, March 26, the series will move to its regular 9:00 PM ET timeslot.
