Going Deeper with Kristen Doute - Ariana’s Mouthpiece | The Viall Files w/ Nick Viall

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Vanderpump Rules’ former cast member Kristen Doute to talk about all things Scandoval. Dating Sandoval and being close friends with Ariana has given her a front row seat to the news of Sandoval and Rachel’s affair, and she does not hold back in giving us all of the answers we need. When did the affair start, did Schwartz know, and where do Sandoval, Ariana, and Rachel stand now? And what scandalous moment did cameras catch after the news broke?
“She’s definitely not the only one who faked an org*sm with Tom Sandoval.”

[@Seattle_Kiwi]

I absolutely love this statement! ❤

[@andedom]

I kinda disagree. A friend can give advice but it’s up to us to make our own decisions. If Nick makes decisions for his friend, it takes away the friend’s agency and ability to write their own story. They dug the grave, they are the only ones who can get themselves out of it.

I feel Tom had 9 years to decide if Ariana was the one or not, especially if marriage or children was on his mind. If he did want that and she didn't - he should've left, just left. It would've been an entirely different scenario for him - maybe even an understanding one.

Your not getting it! Tom wanted to get married and have kids. Ariana said she didn't want to have kids and more than likely never wanted to get married. Perfect. It's all good. There was no ring or ceremony. There was no commitment. It was convenient and comfortable. Are we fuc&ing children? That's what marriage is for.....monogamy, commitment, promises....Understand the difference? Everything else is temporary or somebody is much dumber than somebody else!

@48:53 Lala said in an interview that they cut out part where she told Raquel "if you are comparing your actions to mine, an alcoholic, then I suggest you take a closer look at your drinking and actions" So she was trying to help Raquel and make her see things differently. There is also the scene at Lala's birthday when Raquel apologizes to Lala for calling her a mistress because it turns out Oliver was still married, and again Lala is like, "see? men are shady but women always take the heat; don't let anyone tell you your a mistress when you're not" ...which is soo messed up because Raquel had slept with Tom at that point, and then continued to for 7+ months. She literally became a mistress after throwing shade at Lala and disregarded any advice Lala tried to give her. I totally get why Lala was so heated at the reunion.

[@TheJennaMay]

Kristen became Ariana’s official spokesperson…oh the irony!

[@Klisa21]

I got you, totally agree

[@SexAndCandyHair92]

Kristen matured a lot. It's good to see.

[@fernandaolivares7926]

She is almost 40 still trashing Sandoval and James! She is exactly the same. She is secretly enjoying this happening to Ariana and James and evicerating a 28 year old girl when she slept with her best friend's boyfriend and her boyfriend's best friend.

[@annaguarino7833]

Narcissists need to be perceived in a positive way. They will do anything to keep the facade going. That can be perceived as generosity, but it can be detrimental to the people closest to them. THOSE people sacrifice for the facade, but it feeds the ego of the narcissist. The narcissist always wins or they have no use for you.

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

Exactly 🎯🎯🎯

[@selenagomez14265]

Nick keeps saying kristen was young but she’s 40 now and when the show was out she was 30, older than stasie and katie…… You’re a full grown adult it’s different if you’re in your early 20’s. She seems better now than before but we don’t get that insight into her life anymore to see if actually changed.

[@michellemirembe6057]

That’s young lol ur clearly very young. 30 on tv and getting money after being broke, clearly

[@dopelikekristyle139]

Agreed . We don't know if she changed. Her having an Interview where she comes off decent doesn't mean she's actually changed. Same with Jax

[@jodeeb.6496]

First of all, loved this entire interview. Wondering why Kristin never answered what is it about the Tom's that attracts woman. I'd love to hear her answer. I never cared for Kristin when she was still on the show, however, I must admit she's matured, unlike those who stayed on the show. BRAVO to her. Honestly, I never watch videos over a few minutes unless they're very interested or if there's someone I find interesting. Shocker to me but, it's Kristin who I find fascinating. Her thinking and analyzing skills are 😢dead-on perfection. My reason is the changes she's made in herself, her humbleness, her self deprecating humor and her staunch defense of her friendships. I find myself swinging from truly disliking her to want to be her friend. Truly enjoyed this interview and wish it was longer.

[@youruglyleatherpants]

Nick and his producers not knowing any other VPR prior seasons and shitting on charli even though she’s kinda the realist of them.. interesting

[@jennyk9748]

Tom and Tom have been allowed to be the man child dynamic duo because of this show. They are rewarded, essentially, for their bad behavior. Rachel certainly isn't innocent but there is definitely an uneven power dynamic there.

[@shontellevigil246]

The Schwartz impersonation🤣🤣🤣

[@armynurse68c]

I got to hand it to Kristen, she has grown so much! She was truly scorned. Tom and Jax both tried to make her look crazy when she was trying to share the truth! I think the rest of the group started feeding on that and she brought that back to her relationships.

[@amandamoore6789]

I just recently started watching VPR and I’m only about to begin season 4…. Can not stand Kristen on the show, she seems like the absolute worst person, but listening to her on this podcast I’m shocked and very impressed with her growth. She seems like a whole new person and I actually might come around to like her once I get all caught up. Its awesome to hear that her and Ariana are friends now and support each other. All these men are trash.

[@DanielPMBA]

Raquel is the new Jax lol

[@lallana2882]

Lol Lala loves every second of this. "Growth" is her making money off of her friends heartbreak.

[@samjo445]

THE QUEEN IS BACK

[@KS-hi8vi]

No Kristen you, Jax, Brittany, Stassi & those 2 other new guys were FIRED

[@WabiSabbii]

Everyone wants to get into just this season but you gotta watch the whole thing like this is CRAZYYY

[@krystleday382]

So happy I found this...I was reading about it in an article and I'm like plz be on KZbin!?!?🎉

[@KA-eu9sy]

You also gotta check out Jamie Lynne and Kael Ramsay Ackerson uploaded on KZbin channel called Sunshinery. Video is called "New Details on the #Scandoval | Jamie All Over Podcast | Vanderpump Rules" Jamie is good friends with Scheana. Kael is good friends with Raquel. They exchange notes and compare timelines!!!

[@krystleday382]

@@KA-eu9sy ok thx ..I've heard of that channel

[@pn504]

Rewatching from season 1. I am team Ariana but Ariana wasn’t a saint when she hooked up with Tom and had little regard for Kristin even though they won’t friends. She also lied really well, they all do. It’s scary. Also scheana never seemed truly apologetic about having an affair with a married man.

[@sheilavidrine1750]

They are not sorry. They are letting everyone know they are together!

[@tatih4984]

I would love to see Kristen back on VPR

[@lizdahl847]

Hell to the NO!!😮

[@Areyoutalkingtome781]

No way!!!!

[@poetickat7994]

To be fair-in that episode the girls were being AWFUL to Raquel. Even as terrible as she is now, she didn’t deserve the constant crap talking during that trip. Why did they even invite her?

[@bellafarfalla7306]

I thought that cute dog 🐕 sleeping was fake until he moved 😂 46:45

[@jennakristalegner7733]

I'm obsessed with that dog casually sleeping in the corner.

[@itscrystalthenurse319]

You're my kinda people Jenna! So cute Lol ❤

[@michellemirembe6057]

Girl ❤

[@RD2B]

Kristen should be a detective 🕵️

[@777sunnyside]

Interesting tea on Jo, I was wondering why they kept mentioning her on the show.

[@kathydb613]

Yeah... his "roommate" 🙄

[@perfectlyimperfect4508]

I began watching this show with my mom when it first came out!!! Inn be lived with her back then and every week we had our nightly ritual 😊 Now that I’m moved out we always txt each other throughout the episodes!! Lol 😂 Absolutely love this show!

[@imani6938]

I LOVED when Rachel came out and told Lauren that she's a MISTRESS, cause she IS.

[@jenniferwasko4540]

Not by her own choice.

[@bedazzlinbeauty]

@@jenniferwasko4540 girl bye lala knew he was married she just didnt care bc she had her life bankrolled

[@chelseaputnam4456]

THIS EPISODE IS EVERYTHING!!!!

[@AMYV3]

The problem with these type of men is they truly truly see themselves as victims so they don’t think they need to heal anything. He will 100% bring up that they don’t sleep together or at least not every often And that takes all blame off of him in his eyes. Remember he has been going over that point and many more in his mind for months now

[@ashleymcmeakin9986]

Yep you're 100% spot on. Check out the mid-season trailer that just dropped a few hrs ago

[@ramirezluz50]

Excellent. PERIOD!!!!

[@ellenarendt3033]

Wow! Kristen is seriously spot on about LVP! Love Kristen! So real and honest!!!!!

[@Areyoutalkingtome781]

She doesn’t have an honest bone in her body!!

[@cunderw12]

The storyline needs to play out. If Rachel and Tom don’t come back what they going to film next season? I really hope they bring back the OG cast next season to talk about this!
