Jax Taylor, Kristen Doute and Brittany Cartwright of 'Vanderpump Rules' fame have come a long way since their early days working for Lisa Vanderpump at SUR, but in many ways, they haven’t changed at all. Jax’s and Kristen’s dramatic antics, which included cheating , stealing, fighting and a near-drowning incident , captivated the attention of “VPR” fans for a full eight seasons.
All that stuff was going on prior to the show. It just so happens that some of it was happening a bit more afterward, some a little bit more before, and then halfway during the season things were escalating. But the cameras had nothing to do with it. That stuff happens either way. We have the same formula as “Vanderpump Rules.” It’s going to happen regardless of if the camera is there. We’re not amping anything up, we’re not creating anything.
