Kristen Doute fired from SUR!

I am still shocked after last night’s episode of Vanderpump Rules where producer and boss Lisa Vanderpump fired longtime SUR-ver and longtime situation Kristen Doute!

I honestly thought Kristen was immune from being fired since her ingenious ability to propagate drama has been such a homerun for the Bravo show. But the 31-year–old reality star and aspiring actress must have crossed the line after going off on one of the managers, Diana last night.

As a side note I have to say I was a little excited because I stepped into SUR a month ago when I was in LA to visit a friend and Diana was the hostess who took our name. I’ve been trying to spot her on the show ever since. (I am easily star-struck.)

So Lisa, of course had to do the firing herself for dramatic effect. E News asked Doute about the firing:

Kristen told E that she thought the Real Housewives star “took some joy” in the firing her after 7 years, claiming that Lisa “has a little bit of a vendetta” against her.

“Did you know it was coming? Not until that day. I had this weird feeling and I happened to walk by the VIP room in the lounge and I saw Lisa sitting with Ken and Guillermo and Nathalie—their business partners—and my manager Diana sitting at the table and I thought to myself, “Oh no, this isn’t good.”  I had a feeling it was about me.”

“Did you feel ready to go? I really was. I worked at SUR for over seven years, which is an insane amount of time to hold a restaurant job. My time was up. The place was really getting to me, especially having to work with Tom and Arianna, it was just eating away at me every day. I definitely think I should have quit a long time ago so it didn’t get to the place that it did. I’m glad I don’t work there anymore but I’m not proud of the fact I got fired. It’s embarrassing.”

So what does this mean for season 4 of the show? We know it’s been signed for another season, but don’t know yet who will return.
