She is back with a vengeance carrying a ton of fuel to the fire of Sandoval’s infidelity- this new season will be a good show.
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum Kristen Doute did not hold back while discussing Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ ongoing romance with Nick Viall. Doute, who described the 28-year-old model as fake, claimed that Ariana Madix requested her to comment on the incident.
Viall asked Doute what Sandoval’s longtime best friend Tom Schwartz, who made out with Leviss during Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding in August 2022, felt about the issue; the trailer then flips to Doute, who states, “I’m like, ‘No, you four were going on double dates.’
Although she did not cite any names in her statement, she said that Schwartz knew about the romance before the rest of the Pump Rules group. Doute also recalled a situation where a person had a show, got wasted, and had s-x with a fan girl, but she did not name the individual.
The former SUR waiter discussed the cheating scandal on the March 8 episode of her podcast “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters.” She said that Schwartz knew about the romance a month ago and warned Sandoval to come clean.
Madix also uncovered Sandoval’s infidelity after the former bartender was compelled to peek at her longtime boyfriend’s cell phone. She discovered a screen-recorded FaceTime of him and Raquel masturbating together.
Doute is filming new “Vanderpump Rules” footage for season 10 following the return of the cameras during Sandoval and Leviss’ affair. The former Bravo actress was spotted filming outside Madix and the co-owner of TomTom’s home on March 9 after proclaiming publicly that she was “Team Ariana.” But after the eighth season of the reality series, Doute was fired, and only recently did she confirm that she tricked the production team into ensuring the affair.
“I don’t know why I feel the need to clarify this, but so many people are currently questioning if this makes me happy, and you guys, Ariana, and I have been close friends for a long time. Thus, I am a member of team Ariana — all day, every day. That’s the scoop.”
Doute and Madix were initially at odds when Madix slept with Sandoval while Doute was still dating Doute. Still, they have since resolved their differences and become close friends. Yet, Doute and Sandoval’s relationship has remained difficult since their 2014 breakup.
A source reveals that Kristen was with Ariana the night it occurred and has remained by her side ever since. She has a unique viewpoint because she dated Tom and developed a good friendship with Ariana. The source also claimed that most of the cast supports Kristen resuming production.
The insider likewise claimed that Doute put the program behind her after being sacked in June 2020 following the resurfacing of her racist behavior towards former co-star Faith Stowers; she is now considering the prospect of a return.
“It depends on whether Ariana wants her to do it and is comfortable with it, as that is the only way she would ever return to the program, she and Ariana are talking right now. All of the women have been spending time with Ariana.”
There are no other details if Doute’s comeback would be permanent or just a temporary role for the “Scandoval” addition – which Bravo has been filming for the current season since the announcement of Sandoval and Leviss’ affair.
Doute and Madix, who both dated Sandoval, have mended their friendship after years of ups and downs. During the Sandoval-Leviss affair, Doute reassured her supporters that she is 100% “#TeamAriana.”
“I don’t know why I feel the need to clarify this, but so many people are currently questioning if this makes me happy,” Doute said in an Instagram Story video last Friday after word of the romance leaked.
