‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 8 Reunion Shockers: Kristen Wishes She Could Share Life ‘Moments’ With Stassi and Katie

The Fate of SUR

During part one of the explosive reunion, cast matriarch Lisa gave an update on the fate of her ~sexy, unique restaurant~ in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. According to her, they’re unsure when the restaurant will be able to reopen again and all of the staff are currently receiving unemployment benefits. Seemingly, this would also apply to the other establishments she owns with husband Ken Todd, like Pump, Villa Blanca and even TomTom.

Wait, Kristen Did *What* With Max?!

Andy Cohen asked Max Boyens if he had any other costar hookups to ‘fess up to after dating both Scheana Marie and new girl Dayna Kathan. The entire, and we mean entire, cast’s collective jaw dropped when he admitted to being intimate with Kristen not once, but twice. Though Kristen and Max, 27, were both single at the time, Dayna, 29, was particularly shook that Kristen never brought it up to her over the course of the season.

Stassi Goes Off on Kristen

Stassi took the opportunity to really go to town on her ex-BFF. In her opinion, Kristen was hiding some pivotal information from Dayna while still “pretending” to be her friend and listening to her talk about her romantic issues with Max. The blonde beauty also demanded to know when Kristen was “single” enough to have this encounter while in an on-again, off-again relationship with now-ex Brian Carter. “This is why girls don’t trust you,” Stassi told her former friend.

Lala vs. Tom Schwartz

Lala Kent and Ariana Madix made it clear they would “throw down” on Schwartz, 37, if he ever again spoke to his wife, Katie, like he did the night the Toms and Lala’s fiancé, Randall Emmett, played a prank on Jax Taylor involving the police. When Katie wasn’t into the prank, her husband went off on her, saying things like “I’ve never been more turned off in my life.” Any self-respecting Pump Rules fan knows the “Bubbas” have had their fair share of nasty verbal moments as a couple … but several cast members agreed that his words went too far this season. Tom also apologized.

Jax vs. Tom Sandoval

This was hard to watch. Jax, 40, and Sandoval, 36, have seemingly made zero progress in getting their friendship back after their feud regarding Jax and now-wife Brittany Cartwright‘s choice of pastor for their wedding. “I’ve been a way better friend than that motherf—ker has ever had in his life,” Tom yelled at one point. “And I’ve never had anybody do more f—ked up things to me than Jax motherf—king Taylor!” Jax even claimed having Sandoval at his wedding was his “biggest” regret.

Stassi Said *What* About Lala?

While Lala was apologizing to Scheana over some hurtful words this past season, the Utah native started to get teary-eyed and emotional while proclaiming she was unjustified in her actions. During the exchange, Stassi leaned over to her fiancé, Beau, and whispered she thinks Lala might be “bipolar.” Yeah, you read that right.

Kristen Namedrops Her New BF for the 1st Time

Andy brought him up … but Kristen did, in fact, namedrop her new boyfriend, Alex Menache, for the first time. She mentioned they had only been dating a month and a half at the time of filming for the reunion special, which was filmed on April 30.

Jax Thinks Sandoval’s Best Man-ship Was ‘All for Show’

Jax and Tom Sandoval went head-to-head again — and the rest of the cast seemed to be on Tom’s side, believe it or not. “I just think you’re a really good actor,” the bartender told the TomTom owner regarding his friendship in the wake of Jax’s wedding to Brittany. The entire rest of the Pump Rules crew vehemently disagreed and vocalized their feelings against Jax’s comment.

James Says It’s ‘Sad’ Kristen Isn’t Hitting Life Milestones Like Stassi and Katie

James never misses an excuse to dunk on his ex-girlfriend — he even made it a point to call her out for doing “the same thing” she’s always done with boyfriends during part one of the reunion. This time, he noted it was “sad” Kristen was so far behind her younger ex-BFFs as far as big life milestones like engagements and new houses. It was one of those times our jaws hit the floor.

Stassi ‘Too Conflicted’ About Inviting Kristen to Her Wedding

Will she or won’t she? That’s been the question since the “Witches of WeHo” started showing signs of their demise. The latest update? When Andy asked Stassi if she would be willing to invite Kristen to her nuptials if they happened “tomorrow,” the blonde beauty found the question impossible to answer. “I’m too conflicted,” she explained. However, Kristen did note that there is currently “no relationship” between the former trio of besties.

Lala’s Fiancé Randall Paid for Jax’s Therapy

After bringing up Jax’s previous comments about his struggle with mental health, Andy said he had heard Lala’s fiancé, producer Randall, had reached out to Jax and suggested someone he could speak to about his issues.

“He did not just recommend a therapist,” Lala said. “Randall paid for this session, and Jax didn’t show up.”

Stassi Calls Out Jax

“We’re scared of pissing Jax off and we’re scared of hurting Brittany, and we have to be able to be honest with you guys,” Stassi said while the cast discussed Jax’s issues. “This can’t be a situation where we’re all f—king scared to have an opinion. You’re the one who said you had mental health problems at the end of this season. You are the one, Jax, who talked about how you were depressed, how you were scared about what you were going to do, how you couldn’t control yourself. So now we’re going to talk to you about it.”

Scheana Marie and Brett Caprioni Are ‘Just Friends’

Despite the extremely sexual music video they recorded together, Scheana maintained she just wants to be friends with Brett.

Where Do the Witches of WeHo Stand?

Kristen said she doesn’t miss the “bulls–t” between her, Katie and Stassi, but misses their friendship. She said she wished she could have shared her relationship with Alex, the house and other “monumental huge moments” that have recently happened in her life with them.
