Kristen Doute reacted to Jax Taylor‘s relationship with his and Brittany Cartwright‘s former shared publicist, Lori Krebs, and admitted that she can’t condone Danny Booko‘s behavior on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she also compared Nia Booko, 36, to Brittany Cartwright, 37, reacted to Luke Broderick, 35, suggesting he wouldn’t marry her if their relationship didn’t improve, and threw shade at both Lisa Vanderpump, 65, and Janet Caperna, 36, the 43-year-old cast member of The Valley labeled Craig Conover, 37, rude, and shared where she stood with her former Vanderpump Rules co-stars.
“This is not about Jax. Jax is so diabolical. Like, of course,” Kristen began of Jax and Lori’s romance on the July 22 episode of WWHL. “But with [Lori], this is Brittany’s trusted, paid professional, a friend, basically part of her family for the last decade. It’s just so totally deceitful. It’s her publicist, the one person who knows the ins and outs of everything to do that to Brittany … This woman’s sleeping with the enemy.”
Moving on to accusations of being a soldier for the Bookos, Kristen said that while she could see “being Nia’s soldier,” since she’s “a soldier for the people [she] really [wants] to protect,” the same couldn’t be said about Danny.
“When I watched the episodes, and I saw things that I had not witnessed with my own eyes, I can’t condone any of his behavior,” she admitted.
During a game in which Nia was put up against Brittany, Kristen said Brittany was more loyal, funnier, more honest, and more judgmental, while noting that Nia gave better relationship advice.
She then looked back on Luke’s chat with Jesse Lally, 46, about their future.
“That was just such a messy time and point. And there was so much drinking involved and the airport and the postpartum. It doesn’t weigh on me, [but] it was gnarly,” she explained. “It was just such a hard time in our life.”
“I watched, especially the Mexico scene when I’m on the bed with Kaia, our baby, and I’m just kind of spewing venom at him, like, I was mortified,” she continued.
When asked what she would say to LVP if they ever came face-to-face amid their years-long feud, Kristen was blunt.
“Absolutely nothing,” she replied.
She shaded Janet as well, stating that she was the Valley star who had let fame go to her head. That said, Kristen did acknowledge her emotional confession about her past sexual assault.
“After speaking with [Lala Kent] and obviously, watching the episodes back, I stand by and believe any woman who has been through something like that. A lot of us have, unfortunately. So she deserves the support,” Kristen shared.
Then, after being asked if Craig was rude to her and confirming, “he is now,” Kristen was asked what about her past relationship with Tom Sandoval, 43, made her cringe the most.
“D, all of the above. Everything,” she answered.
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Kristen was asked if she’d met Michelle Saniei‘s new man, Dr. Dre, 61.
“If I met Dr. Dre, the whole world would know,” she replied.
Kristen then discussed her current relationships with her former Pump Rules cast members, saying that she and Scheana Shay, 41, “talk” but are “not super close,” revealing that she and Katie Maloney, 40, “text” but haven’t seen one another “in a bit,” and admitting that she hadn’t spoken to Stassi Schroeder, 38, in about “two years.”
“There’s no bad blood … We’re just not in the same place at all. Maybe [there’s bad blood] on her part. I don’t know. We just have different friends,” she explained.
Kristen also said she still talks to Ariana Madix, 41, Tom Schwartz, 43, and Lala, 35, before declaring that she was “so proud” of Ariana, who was recently nominated for an Emmy Award for hosting Love Island USA.
“I’m so proud of her. What an incredible feat,” she gushed.
The Valley season three airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
