Kristen Doute clarifies ‘The Valley’ reunion remarks

Nobody knows if Season 1 of “The Valley” is getting a reunion — including Kristen Doute.

After claiming on her podcast that the cast of the “Vanderpump Rules” spinoff series won’t be filming a reunion special, Doute, 41, clarified those remarks in an exclusive interview with The Post.

“I did say it on my podcast — but it’s what I’ve read online,” the reality star explained while promoting the new Amazon competition reality show “The GOAT.”

“I’m not 100 percent sure yet. I don’t know either way,” she added about a possible reunion. “We haven’t been given a date. We haven’t been told there’s not one yet.”

On the May 2 episode of her “Balancing Act” podcast, Doute and her boyfriend, Luke Broderick, revealed that they heard “The Valley” wasn’t getting a reunion, despite the fact that the sit-downs moderated by Andy Cohen always take place after the season finales of every Bravo show.

“No reunion. I think it is out there that we aren’t having a reunion,” Doute said at the time.

Broderick added, “But regardless, it is 100 percent true. There will not be a reunion.”

While chatting with The Post, Doute said she was hoping the show would snag a Season 2 renewal.

“You don’t go into a Season 1 hoping that it doesn’t work out,” she explained. “We definitely hope there is a Season 2. I do feel like there’s a lot of things still sort of left unsaid. I can’t get into it too much. But you’ll know by the finale. There are still some stones left unturned. I would absolutely love to do a Season 2 with this cast.”

Luckily for Doute, Bravo has decided to officially renew “The Valley” for Season 2.

Variety shared the news on May 9 and reported that the entire Season 1 cast is returning.

That was surprising to some fans since two of the four married couples on the show — Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, and Jesse Lally and Michelle Lally — have broken up.

It still hasn’t been confirmed if “The Valley” will have a Season 1 reunion, however.

The new Bravo series went into production last year after Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss, also known as “Scandoval,” made “Vanderpump Rules” a pop culture phenomenon.

Doute, Taylor, 44, and Cartwright, 44, starred on “Vanderpump Rules” before they were all fired in 2020.

Doute lost her job on the show when her racist behavior toward ex-cast member Faith Stowers was brought to the forefront at the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement.

But after the renewed success of “Vanderpump Rules” post-Scandoval, Bravo created “The Valley,” which follows Doute and her group of friends, most of whom have kids, living in San Fernando Valley, Calif.

The series has been a hit for the network.

The cast of “The Valley” also includes Danny and Nia Booko, Janet and Jason Caperna, and Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickham.
