As reported today by Bravo, Kristen Doute, who was fired from the series in 2020 after playing a racist prank on former costar Faith Stowers, will return to the series for Season 10. “Scandoval,” a love triangle among the cast members, is already causing the show problems. Only a month had passed since the new season of the show began airing when it was revealed that cast member Tom Sandoval was cheating on his long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix with newly single costar Raquel Leviss. There has been a romantic entanglement on social media and the Bravo boards, resulting in Scandoval. The story unfolds on camera as Season 10 of the series begins production. Those who are not familiar with Vanderpump Rules might recognize it as a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which followed Lisa Vanderpump’s role as co-owner and manager of a West Hollywood restaurant called SUR.

During the first season of “Vanderpump” in 2013, Doute appeared in over 160 episodes. As the series progressed, she explored her relationship with Sandoval, whom she had been dating since 2008. Both Doute and Sandoval admitted to cheating on one another during the series. As a result of allegations from former co-star Faith Stowers, Doute and Sassi Schroeder were terminated from the series in 2020. Stowers said she was reported to the police in 2018 after reading a Daily Mail article about a Black woman wanted for theft, during an Instagram Live chats in June 2020. The statement, which has since been removed from Doute’s Instagram page, apologized for her actions.

A New ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season Has Begun, With Kristen Doute Returning To Throw Gasoline On The Scandal Fire

A comeback is in the works for Kristen Doute, who was fired from “Vanderpump Rules” three years ago for filing a racially motivated police report. Doute was spotted filming for this season of PumpRules on March 10, according to Bravo. The show recently began production for its 10th season. She joins the cast in the midst of a scandal over cheating involving Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and Raquel Leviss. After allegations that he cheated on Madix with co-star Leviss, Sandoval and his longtime girlfriend and co-star Madix broke up on March 3. Apologies have since been issued by Sandoval and Leviss. Madix and Sandoval began dating in 2013 when Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” show – which follows Vanderpump’s restaurants – premiered. When the show first began, Sandoval was in a relationship with Doute. During the season two reunion of “Vanderpump Rules,” Doute admitted she had been unfaithful. As the girlfriend of James Kennedy, Leviss joined the cast in Season Five in 2016. They were engaged in 2021 and split three months later. A video shared with Madix and posted to Doute’s Instagram feed on March 3 showed her support for Madix amidst the cheating scandal. Ariana is my favourite.

Doute said in the video before kissing Madix that this is happening in real time. My love for you is greater than anything in this world, and I would kill people for you if I could. After being fired from Vanderpump Rules alongside Stassi Schroeder for racist actions against former costar Faith Stowers three years ago, Kristen Doute is officially back on the show’s payroll. There hasn’t been a break in the action. The publication previously reported that this will be the most explosive season of Vanderpump Rules ever. Schroeder and Doute called the police on Stowers over a crime she didn’t commit in June 2020. Stowers claims that Doute and Schroeder reported her after reading an article about a robbery in the Daily Mail. They both apologized at the time, with Doute writing in a now-deleted Instagram post, I am not completely aware of how my privilege blinded me to the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of black communities, and how dangerous my actions could have been to her, even though my actions were not racially motivated.
