Valley star Janet Caperna has recently distanced herself from her longtime friend Kristen Doute. Janet, 34, explained to Us Weekly that they had experienced so much together that they needed a break from each other. Despite the break, Janet expressed that she never says never and still cares for Kristen, but they needed a pause in their friendship. The highs and lows of Janet and Kristen’s friendship are currently being aired on The Valley, a Bravo spinoff of Vanderpump Rules, but they have not reconnected since the show wrapped in summer 2023.

Watching back The Valley has brought to light certain remarks that Kristen, 41, made in confessional interviews, which Janet found surprising as it was her first season on reality TV. Janet expressed her disbelief at some of the comments made by Kristen and did not appreciate being referred to as a pawn in her game. She reiterated that she does not have the capacity to manipulate people in that way and was taken aback by the insinuation. The experience of seeing what people were saying about her behind her back in the interviews was something new for Janet.

Despite the rift between Janet and Kristen, Janet has formed a strong bond with her costar Brittany Cartwright. Having gone through a divorce herself, Janet shared that she and Brittany bonded over their shared experience, as Brittany recently announced her separation from husband Jax Taylor. Janet reassured Brittany that she would be okay regardless of what happens in their respective relationships, and the two have found a new stage in their friendship through this shared experience of going through a divorce.

Janet, who was previously married before finding love with her now-husband Jason Caperna, empathized with Brittany’s situation of going through a separation. Brittany, 35, confirmed in February that she had separated from Jax, 44, and the two women have found solace in each other during this difficult time. The Valley airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET and is available for streaming on Peacock the next day. Janet’s journey through reality TV has brought her newfound connections and experiences, despite the challenges and conflicts that have arisen with her longtime friend Kristen.
