00:00What would you say is the the on air moment from this first
00:03season of the valley that you are most proud of something
00:06that you said something that you did or maybe something that
00:08you didn't say or do.
00:11I think it was last season on the Valley just I feel that I
00:17showed a lot of restraint that viewers probably they were not
00:21expecting and that had a lot to do with all of the therapy and
00:25the work that I put into myself, but also you know I
00:28I lend a huge thank you to Luke because for once I have
00:32my person standing up for me and fight help me fight these
00:36ridiculous battles that happened last summer. But I
00:40think that was the thing that stands out the most to me was
00:42just I'm grateful that again just that the fans of the show
00:45and all the viewers are letting me grow they're allowing me to
00:49that they're not you know pinpointing me in caging me
00:52into this crazy Kristen narrative that was Vanderpump
00:56rules throughout my 20's and 30's.
00:59What quality do you think that viewers relate to you the most
01:04and why.
01:08I think truly and I don't know if this is factual, but I think
01:11it's just being so transparent and also not pretending to be
01:16something more than I am like I'm still the same girl that
01:21grew up in Michigan like in the Midwest. I'm exactly the same
01:26person that I always was like to my core and just
01:30always become trying to become a better version of that one of
01:33the reasons why we wanted to honor you this year too because
01:35you're so honest and open about the struggles in your life the
01:38struggles with your friends, the struggles with your
01:40relationships is that ever hard for you to open up about on
01:44camera with it when you ever hesitant about doing that over
01:47the course of the Valley's first season.
01:50Not really I I it's just kind of my mo it's how I live my
01:54life is just I I don't really have a filter. I think
01:58honesty is just so important it whether it's you know in a
02:02group like a group of friends or like people you're sort of
02:06but he's with as you see on the Valley that's kind of the
02:08relationships we formed or continue last summer and a lot
02:12of things will change this year like dynamics will change
02:15things that were not touched on at the end of last summer will
02:18definitely be touched on this summer. So I just have to leave
02:24with a completely like no filter just truth bomb at all
02:28times. Not always everyone's favorite thing and it might be
02:32a lot of things but I'm not a liar. So I I will say this year
02:37I think
02:39really ever since I Vanderpump rules last season
02:43going through everything that I went through during that time.
02:46I wish that
02:49that would have been filmed just showing sort of the changes
02:53that I had chosen to make during that time that
02:56occasion just all of the learning really humbling
02:59myself and listening. I wish that that had been a little
03:03more highlighted so people could really understand why
03:05there was such a shift between the Vanderpump rules, Kristen
03:09that everyone sort of new to like the Valley Kristen,
03:13you know 40 years old now 41 years old and it really it
03:17really did have a lot to do with sort of the end of you
03:19know during the pandemic and then the Vanderpump rules for
03:21me and really just growing up. So I will say is I am such a
03:27truth bomber what I'm trying to learn to do is I believe it's a
03:30little more curiosity rather than finger pointing and
03:34blaming because that's how I'm going to get my way with
03:36certain people like Mister tax payer.
