Kristen Doute’s time on Vanderpump Rules may not be over after all.
PEOPLE reported this week that the star who was fired after Vanderpump Rules season 8 could return to film scenes as Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal unfolds.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know that Kristen was in a relationship with Sandoval for six years.
Their relationship hit a rough patch after Kristen was revealed to be having an affair with co-star Jax Taylor.
Now, Kristen is best friends with Ariana Madix, who was reportedly stunned this month when she learned Sandoval was cheating on her with co-star Raquel Lewis.
“The producers of Vanderpump Rules have approached Kristen about coming back to the show to talk about it,” an insider tells People.
“She’s had her fair share of ups and downs with Sandoval over the years, but right now she’s fully supporting Ariana.”
The source claimed that Kristen had put the show behind her, but revealed that she is considering a return.
The outlet teases, “It will depend on whether Ariana wants to do it and is comfortable going back to the show.”
“It’s a conversation she and Ariana are having right now. The girls are spending time with Ariana.”
Despite Kristen and Ariana being enemies at the beginning of Vanderpump Rules, the pair have become close friends.
At the end of the week, Doute shared a video of him kissing Ariana on the lips and cheek, revealing that he was there for his former rival in his time of need.
“I’m Ariana. This is in real time,” she said in the video.
“I love you very much,” she added.
“I love you more than anything in the whole world, and I would kill people for you.”
The revelations surrounding the cheating scandal were so wild that Bravo confirmed that filming is back underway on additional episodes for Vanderpump Rules season 10.
With the reunion set to film in two weeks, the goal is to get as much footage as possible to keep fans updated on the drama.
Andy Cohen promised that fans would see the drama unfold.
“First of all, when you look at the rest of the season of Vanderpump Rules with the overlay of knowing what happened to Raquel and Sandoval — what happened to them, and possibly what was happening then — it’s really shocking,” he wrote on March 6. said on an episode of his Sirius XM Radio show.
“Even Wednesday night’s episode, you’re not going to believe it.”
“Looking at it with this overlay … there’s a moment between Ariana and Raquel where you see where their friendship is, which is cool, that you wouldn’t believe.”
