As die-hard "Vanderpump Rules" fans know, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have had their fair share of ups and downs in their years-long friendship. One of the pair's first major fights that was documented on the series occurred when Doute admitted to sleeping with Schroeder's then-boyfriend, former SUR bartender Jax Taylor, while he and Schroeder were still together. Doute had been dating fellow "VPR" star Tom Sandoval, who was best friends with Taylor, for five years at the time.
The Detroit native opened up about the "life-changing" night between her and Taylor in an essay in her memoir, "He's Making You Crazy."
"I know we were both drunk, but also that we made a mutual, consensual decision. I'm still not sure how it could have happened, but it did. I slept with my boyfriend's best friend, who not too long before this used to date my former best friend," she wrote (via Life & Style), later adding, "Looking back, I just wanted attention and affection. And it didn't matter anymore from whom or from where."
Schroeder and Doute eventually made up, and when Schroeder returned to the show during the second half of Season 4 after saying she needed to "wipe her hands clean" of the show after the toxic Season 3 reunion (via TooFab). She even lived with Doute while looking for an apartment of her own.
