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.
