The drama apparently hasn’t stopped for Kristen Doute. On Monday night, during her appearance on Andy Cohen’s talk show, Watch What Happens Live, Kristen confirmed that she was kicked out of Lisa Vanderpump’s establishment, PUMP, over the weekend.

During the talk show, Andy mentioned that a Watch What Happens Live staffer witnessed Kristen getting kicked out of Lisa’s newest restaurant and lounge in West Hollywood over the weekend. Kristen confirmed that it happened, but wouldn’t give further explanation as to why. Her Vanderpump Rules co-star, Katie Maloney, who was on the talk show with her, remained silent on whether she was with Kristen when it happened or if she knew any other details.

While Kristen stayed pretty silent on the matter on the talk show, she tweeted that she’ll spill the beans later on. Kristen teased that she’ll discuss the matter on the reunion show.

She tweeted that she didn’t given an explanation on the talk show because she was trying to be respectful. Yet she warned that she can’t be silenced forever.

Kristen also teased that the rest of the Vanderpump Rules season gets “insanely better.”

Yet Kristen apparently couldn’t stay silent for very long. She later tweeted that Lisa kicked her out after James Kennedy got into her and her new boyfriend’s face.

Kristen later called out Lisa for siding with James.

“I didn’t feel the need to put her on blast on live TV. Watching her protect an abusive loser like him and treat me like s**t blows my mind.”

Kristen Doute has had a contentious relationship with Lisa Vanderpump. On Season 3, Lisa fired Kristen from her job as a waitress at SUR, which she had done for seven years, after she displayed inappropriate and disrespectful behavior to management within earshot of customers. Kristen actually told her manager “to walk the f**k away” in a screaming match. In a meeting, Lisa told Kristen to “take responsibility for [her] actions,” but Kristen still refused to apologize and denied any wrongdoing.

In an interview with BravoTV.com’s The Daily Dish after the firing, Kristen admitted that she saw it coming. As for her feelings regarding Lisa, she said that she was grateful.

“I have to say, I wouldn’t have any of this without her. I wouldn’t have the job, I wouldn’t have the show. So as much as I’m not her biggest fan and vice-versa, I’m grateful for the opportunities she’s given me.”

Kristen also voiced hope that she would be allowed to continue on with Vanderpump Rules despite no longer working at SUR. After Kristen’s firing aired, Lisa tweeted that it was time and advised Kristen to grow from her mistakes.

Lisa Vanderpump and the show’s other producers obviously made the decision that Kristen was good for the show since she is one of the current season’s main cast members. On the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules, Kristen faced off with her ex-boyfriend, James Kennedy. James previously confessed to his friend, Lisa’s son, Max, that he’s still in love with Kristen and is missing her. The two then crashed Katie Maloney’s blog launch party so that James could see Kristen.

James, upon seeing Kristen and the new guy she was dating, former Below Deck star Aleks Taldykin, immediately went over there to try to talk to Kristen. Kristen pulled James away so that they could talk in private. Not surprisingly, their conversation quickly descended into a very heated verbal argument. It ended with James unleashing a torrent of insults at Kristen and walking off.

Kristen is no longer with Aleks Taldykin but is dating Carter Brian, whom she was with when she got kicked out of PUMP over the weekend. On Sunday, she posted a photo of them hanging out on Sunday.

Earlier that day, she joked about sexting Carter.

Kristen and her new man are so serious that they even take care of a puppy together.

Will Lisa Vanderpump still let Kristen Doute stay on Vanderpump Rules after her latest Twitter rant against her? So far, Lisa has not reacted to Kristen’s claim that she sides with James Kennedy and treats her like “s**t.”
