After eight seasons, Kristen Doute said goodbye to Vanderpump Rules, and it's time to talk about what she's been up to since then. The glamorous actress and model formerly dated Tom Sandoval, and made quite a few reality TV moments of her own. Thanks to her unfiltered remarks, Kristen's become one of the best cast members (and former "SURvers") of all time.

Vanderpump Rules' Kristen often seemed unstable on the show, and she was known for being on Lisa Vanderpump's "Do Not Admit" list (i.e. banned from LVP's restaurants). The model first dated Tom, and for multiple seasons, their relationship worked. She then had a romance with DJ James Kennedy, but their dynamic was extremely toxic. Most recently, Kristen tried to take down James. After a tumultuous eighth season, which showed Kristen having to choose between her boyfriend Carter and the witches of WeHo, Bravo decided to clean house. Kristen and Stassi Schroeder were both canned for their inexcusable behavior towards a fellow cast mate, Faith Stowers.
