Kristen Doute is owning up to getting “messy” in order to make The Valley a successful series.
The Vanderpump Rules OG, who stars on Bravo’s new spinoff show The Valley, took to social media to reveal her motivation for repeating a rumor that co-star Michelle Lally is a “racist and a Republican,” which co-star Janet Caperna called, “a whole new low even for Kristen.”
Following last week’s episode of The Valley, social media blew up when Kristen’s messy side came out swinging.
Instagram creator @cici.loves.you shared a series of tweets from Bravo fans calling out Kristen’s messy behavior on The Valley.
“So, here’s my thought about Michelle being called a racist. Kristen is emotional, erratic, and immature. BUT, every time she’s tried to bring something scandalous to the light in the past, despite her methods, she was always telling the truth,” @cici.loves.you wrote on Instagram.
“OF COURSE she did it in the messiest way possible, but I am actually not mad at Kristen for bringing to light assassinate who supports ‘Don’t Say Gay’… I just like to have this info,” one fan tweeted.
Another fan wondered: “I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Kristen would bring this up KNOWING it will drugged up the reason she was fired from the network in the first place. What the hell was she thinking?”
“Michelle’s husband [Jesse Lally] is – dare I say – worse than Jax [Taylor]?” someone else tweeted.
Kristen slide into the conversation by commenting on @cici.loves.you’s post, where she admitted to self-producing in order to create drama for The Valley.
“If I gave ‘non-messy’ truth to this show it wouldn’t air,” Kristen confessed. “Trust me, I did try.”
Naturally Bravo fans had a lot to say about Kristen’s confession.
“Is the bag worth more than friendships? It makes me wonder…” one fan wrote.
“It’s all about the show for Kristen,” a second fan commented while a third added, “I mean she is desperate for money. I ‘m not mad at her.”
“Why are we surprised Kristen is being messy on The Valley?” another fan noted.
“I believe her and I thank her for bringing it for good tv…that’s her job!” someone else shared.
“It’s a show for us and a job for Kristen,” a different fan commented while another wrote in agreement: “You’d have nothing to watch then. They all know this. They all signed up for it. I won’t villainize her for it. [She’s] still a queen.”
The Valley airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
