The Valley star Kristen Doute has given her reaction following rumors that Jax Taylor is dating his current, and Brittany Cartwright’s ex-publicist, Lori Krebs.
To recap, Lori is the former long-time publicist of Jax and Brittany, who wed on Vanderpump Rules but are now separated and going through a divorce. It came as a shock then, when a set of steamy vacation photos of Jax and Lori emerged earlier this month.
Rumors had swirled in the past, even when Brittany and Jax were still together. Now, things seem to be moving ahead full throttle.
Zack Wickham was Lori Krebs’ “biggest defender” when rumors first surfaced
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live this week, Kristen shared her opinion on claims that Jax and Lori are hooking up.
“Jax is diabolical,” Kristen began, explaining that she has come to expect this behavior from him over the years. However, the real shock for Kristen lies with Lori, whom she described as Brittany’s “trusted, paid professional” as well as being a “friend” and “basically part of the family for the last decade.”
“It’s just so totally deceitful,” Kristen said of Lori’s actions. “[This is] her publicist, the one person who knows the ins and outs of everything.”
Next, host Andy Cohen turned to Zack Wickham, who was sitting in the audience. “I was actually this person’s biggest defender when rumors had come out before,” he said of Lori.
“I was actually very shocked,” he went on of how he reacted to the images. “She’s made her bed, and now she has to lie in its disgusting sheets.”
In the comment section, there was a mixed response from fans. Some questioned why Lori would make such a move (given everything she knows), while others pointed out Kristen’s hypocrisy. After all, she has had sex with Jax in the past.
“The publicist must be insane [because] after everything she knows about Jax (even the stuff that fans don’t know) she STILL decides to date him,” one person said on TikTok. “Multiple of those women on the show, INCLUDING Kristen, did this same thing to their friends. I don’t even know how they speak on it,” someone else wrote.
The Valley airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo, and you can stream it the next day on Peacock.
