Vanderpump Rules producers have reportedly approached ex-cast member Kristen Doute about filming for Season 10 in support of Ariana Madix amid the shocking news that Tom Sandoval allegedly cheated on her with co-star Raquel Leviss.
According to a new report from People, producers have approached Kristen with the understanding that she would have to get Ariana’s permission in order to return for the new season and that she would do so only in a supportive role.
“Vanderpump Rules producers have approached Kristen to come back on the show to talk about this,” show insiders tell the magazine. “She’s had her fair share of ups and downs with Sandoval over the years, but right now she’s completely supporting Ariana.”
The source continues, “Kristen has put the show behind her, but she’s considering it. It’ll depend if Ariana wants her to do it and is comfortable as that’s the only way she would ever go back on the show. It’s a conversation she and Ariana are having right now. The girls have all been spending time with Ariana.”
People reached out to Bravo for comment but the network had not yet responded.
Bravo confirms filming on Vanderpump Rules Season 10 has resumed
As previously reported, Bravo officially confirmed that Vanderpump Rules has resumed filming Season 10 in order to capture the aftermath of the bombshell news that Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss have been having an affair behind Ariana Madix’s back earlier tonight (Monday, March 6).
Days after TMZ first reported that Bravo had again entered production on Vanderpump Rules, hoping to include some of the cheating drama in Season 10, the network has confirmed that is in fact what is happening.
“We have resumed filming on #PumpRules and this story will be unfolding on camera,” the network posted to their official Twitter alongside a photo of James Kennedy sitting down for what is a highly-anticipated confessional interview for Vanderpump Rules Season 10.
Kristen was fired from Pump Rules alongside Stassi Schroeder back in 2020 for what the network described as “racist actions” towards cast member Faith Stowers.
Vanderpump Rules airs Wednesdays on Bravo.
