Kristen Doute is no stranger to controversy. And she can certainly stand her ground when it comes to trolls. Being a reality TV star for as long as she has will do that. But Kristen, currently starring in the Vanderpump Rules spinoff The Valley, had to once again deal with body-shaming trolls.
This latest bout of unfortunate comments came after Bravo released a clip from The Valley. Kristen speaks to her boyfriend Luke Broderick, and haters focused on a certain body part that was on display in the clip.
Kristen was “appalled” by the “really gross” comments made
After the offending language was posted to Bravo’s promo clip, Kristen responded with a post to her Instagram Stories.
“I was asked to be a collaborator on this video and I’ll have to pass,” The Valley star wrote alongside a snap of herself from the video.
“Everyone making comments about my weight, my ‘saggy boobs’ and my body in general — you should really be ashamed of yourselves,” Kristen added. “Could you imagine someone saying this to your girl[friend], wife, sister, mother, daughter?”
Kristen was “sad, disgusted and appalled” by the entire incident. At least some fans defended her against the “really gross” comments about her body.
“She looks amazing & its completely normal for someone to look different than they looked oh I don’t know 10 YEARS AGO,” one follower wrote. Another suggested to “get a grip.”
It was speculated that “Bravo deleted” some of the more unsavory posts. Some fans didn’t see others “commenting on her weight and body.”
“I think they deleted a lot of them (thankfully) because there were a bunch yesterday. people are just so mean & gross,” one speculated.
Recently, Kristen had positive feedback after showing off the results of a bodysculpt procedure. It’s a shame the same trend of body positivity couldn’t be displayed in this case.
Catch The Valley 9/8c on Bravo.
