Pregnant Kristen Doute is firing back at Lisa Vanderpump for questioning the paternity of her baby with fiancé Luke Broderick.
The “Valley” star, 41, took to her Instagram Story Friday to share a screenshot of Page Six’s article about her former boss’ shady comments — and added a big clown emoji to the post.
Vanderpump, 64, admitted on a recent episode of Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap” podcast that she “never talk[s] to” Doute anymore.
“I hadn’t heard that,” the restaurateur claimed when the “Vanderpump Rules” alum’s pregnancy was brought up. “How on Earth did that happen? Who’s the father? Do we know?”
When the co-hosts explained that Doute was engaged to Broderick, Vanderpump expressed surprise.
“Oh, she’s getting married?” the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star asked. “I’m really not very involved in ‘The Valley’ even though I’m a producer.”
Fellow “Vanderpump Rules” alum Scheana Shay slammed the remarks on her own podcast Friday, labeling Vanderpump the “Jax-Hole of the Week.”
“With all due respect, it was kind of shady. … Super shady,” Shay, 39, explained to her “Scheananigans” listeners. “That’s also unprofessional especially because Lisa is a producer of ‘The Valley.’”
Speaking directly to Vanderpump, she added, “You know who Luke is. He is a cast member of this show. This season, they get engaged.”
The singer then noted that Doute has experienced “struggles” on “her path to becoming a mother,” arguing, “Even if you don’t like someone, it is distasteful. How hard is it to … wish her the best?”
Doute announced last month — one year after going public with a previous miscarriage — that she and Broderick are expecting a rainbow baby.
The couple, who have a daughter on the way, began dating in 2022 shortly after the James Mae founder’s split from Alex Menache.
Broderick proposed in September as cameras rolled for “The Valley” Season 2, which is expected to premiere on Bravo in the spring of 2025.
