Kristen Doute also got political on social media
Katie Maloney-Schwartz isn’t the only one speaking out on political matters lately. Vanderpump Rules alum Kristen Doute shared her thoughts on medical marijuana. The reality star thought now was a good time to address the medical marijuana laws in Idaho, per The Blast.
On Twitter, she wrote, “Idaho. Time to change your Medical Marijuana laws. This country has much more important things to focus on. I’m so grossed out.”
Fans criticized Kristen for “tweeting about a random issue in a random state.” Others found the tweet inappropriate amid the anti-racism protests. Kristen revealed her connection to Idaho. Her brother lives there and has Crohn’s disease. He would prefer not to treat his condition with prescription medication.

Then she addressed her firing by adding, “I understand a handful of you feel I don’t have a ‘right’ to speak out about anything at all. Please click unfollow. I hope you’ll then use that same passion and find words to help someone, fight against something and make a change.”
Kristen has started to speak out since her firing from Vanderpump Rules. She previously addressed the cancel culture movement on her Instagram Stories.
