Kristen Doute Defends Herself On Twitter After ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Firings
Kristen Doute defended herself on Twitter. The former Vanderpump Rules star spoke out in support of the legalization of medical marijuana. Kristen demanded that the state of Idaho should change its medical marijuana laws.
While Kristen’s tweet was met by support from fans, she also received her share of backlash. This comes after the Bravo alum lost her gig on Vanderpump Rules. Former castmate Faith Stowers claimed that both Kristen and Stassi Schroeder racially profiled her for a crime she did not commit back in 2018.
The network fired both women and Bravo fans rejoiced. Now, Kristen is defending herself, but for a different reason.

Kristen received a majority of support from her followers. However, some found the tweet tone-deaf in the current political climate. One follower slammed the former Bravo personality for “tweeting about a random issue,” especially for a state she doesn’t live in. But Kristen revealed her connection to Idaho.
“My younger brother lives in Idaho. Soldier. Crohn’s. Prefers not to be medicated with opiates,” she responded. “Speak before you think and when you do, please speak with kindness.”
