Valley star Janet Caperna has decided to take a break from her longtime friend Kristen Doute. The two were very close for many years, but a series of events led to a need for some space. Despite the break, Janet still cares about Kristen and wishes her well. Their friendship highs and lows are currently being portrayed on The Valley, a spinoff of Vanderpump Rules, but Janet and Kristen have not reconnected since the show wrapped in summer 2023.
Watching back The Valley brought to light some remarks that Kristen had made in confessional interviews, which was a new experience for Janet as it was her first season on reality TV. Janet was surprised by some of Kristen’s comments, particularly when she mentioned feeling like a pawn in Janet’s game. Janet found it hard to believe that Kristen thought she could manipulate multiple people to do her dirty work perfectly, as it required too much trust in others.
Despite the tension with Kristen, Janet has developed a stronger bond with her co-star Brittany Cartwright. Janet, who has been through a divorce, connected with Brittany after she confirmed her separation from husband Jax Taylor. The two bonded over their shared experiences and Janet assured Brittany that no matter what happens, she will be okay. This new stage in their friendship has brought them closer together.
Janet was previously married before finding love with her now-husband Jason Caperna. On the other hand, Brittany confirmed her separation from Jax in February. The Valley airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET and can be streamed on Peacock the following day. While Janet and Kristen are currently on a break, Janet’s friendship with Brittany is growing stronger as they navigate similar challenges in their personal lives.
Overall, Janet’s decision to take a break from Kristen has been influenced by the events that unfolded during the filming of The Valley. Despite their friendship highs and lows being showcased on the show, Janet and Kristen have not reconnected since its conclusion. Janet was taken aback by some of Kristen’s remarks, especially her belief that she was a pawn in Janet’s game. However, Janet has found solace in her new bond with Brittany, as they support each other through the challenges in their personal lives. The Valley continues to document the lives and relationships of its cast members, shedding light on the complexities of friendship and personal growth.
