Kristen Doute, also known as Crazy Kristen from Vanderpump Rules, is giving it her all, folks.

She is gearing up to make an appearance on the Vanderpump spinoff, The Valley, and brace yourselves for some wild moments. During The Valley premiere party at Jax’s Studio City, Kristen dropped hints about what viewers can look forward to.

"I'm not perfect, I'm human, and yes, there have been a few crazy Kristen moments," she exclusively shared with We on Thursday, March 14. "She tagged along with me, I tried to send her home, but she just wanted to hang out."

In 2020, Kristen, 41, and her costar Stassi Schroeder were let go from Vanderpump Rules. This came after Faith Stowers, a Black cast member, disclosed that the two had falsely accused her of a crime. Kristen made a brief return to the show in 2023.

Kristen has started dating Luke Broderick since they met at a mutual friend's wedding. Luke, who is also her podcast cohost, has been helping her learn to think before speaking and be less reactive.

She shared, "I've learned from Luke that I don't have to blurt out everything I think. It's important to pause, consider if it's necessary to say out loud, and also to respect others' relationships and marriages by not interfering when I don't fully understand the situation."

Kristen shared her thoughts on Stassi not being a part of The Valley anymore. She mentioned that Stassi is great on TV but is currently focused on other aspects of her life. Stassi has expressed in the press that she prefers her current lifestyle, concentrating on her work and family.

As she addressed keeping “Crazy Kristen” at bay, she closed with a quick little jab at her The Valley costar.
