Kristen Doute Reveals Unseen Side of Reality TV Filming
Kristen Doute has given us a sneak peek into the behind-the-scenes world of reality TV. On her podcast “Sex, Love and What Else Matters,” she shared a story about filming an improv show on season 4 of Vanderpump Rules. During the podcast episode aired on August 30, Kristen, 40, and her guest Gabbi Conti talked about the filming process. Kristen’s boyfriend, Luke Broderick, was curious about her monologue, which led her to spill the beans on what didn’t make it into the final cut.
At the Hotel Cafe, the improv was bustling as Kristen and her fellow castmates prepared to perform. The girls sold out the show and even tried their hand at stand-up comedy. Kristen’s monologue was a highlight, but it took a surprising turn. Originally, she poked fun at herself for being on reality TV. It was meant to be a light-hearted moment that showcased her sense of humor. However, the network stepped in and requested changes. The monologue got a makeover, leaving Kristen feeling a bit disappointed. Those who watched the episode might have wondered why her jokes fell flat.
Kristen was part of the original cast when Vanderpump Rules premiered in 2013. She shared her journey, highs, and lows through seven seasons. Unfortunately, she and Stassi Schroeder were let go due to past insensitive behavior toward former costar Faith Stowers.
While delving into the world of podcasting, Kristen used her platform to share some untold stories from behind the scenes. She revealed an interesting tidbit during a Vanderpump Rules rewatch: Jax Taylor and Stassi’s turbulent relationship almost caused a continuity glitch in season 1.
Throughout the years, several Vanderpump Rules stars have taken a step back from the Bravo series. The cameras started rolling at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant SUR in 2012, after her fame from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The show premiered in January 2013, featuring Lisa, Stassi, Jax, and more.
Kristen reminisced about the early days of the show, particularly a season 1 episode. She pointed out that some scenes were actually from a backdoor pilot because Stassi and Jax had broken up the day before filming. Their on-again, off-again relationship had an impact on the show’s timeline.
Exciting news emerged about Kristen’s return to Bravo alongside Jax and Brittany Cartwright for a Vanderpump Rules spinoff series. The trio’s comeback was announced in June 2023, three years after Kristen’s departure from the show. The spinoff, which consists of eight episodes, is currently in production. Lala Kent and Scheana Shay have also been spotted filming for the upcoming series.
