'Vanderpump Rules': Where are Stassi, Kristen and Jax now after exiting the show?
For many fans, Bravo's 'Vanderpump Rules' is synonymous with Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, and even the antagonist of the show Jax Taylor. However, Season 9 of the popular reality show will not be featuring any of these OG cast members who have entertained fans for several years with their messy drama and heartbreaks.
Kristen and Stassi were fired from the show after former cast member Faith Stowers revealed an incident involving them which eventually pushed her to quit the show. The incident in question is Stassi and Kristen calling cops on Faith for an incident that had nothing to do with her. After Faith revealed the details of the disturbing event, Stassi and Kristen began receiving a lot of backlash from the public and were labeled as racists for their inappropriate behavior. Following the backlash and criticism, the showrunners of 'Vanderpump Rules' and the production house, Evolution Media, decided to axe Stassi and Kristen from the show. Shortly after that Jax announced that he wouldn't be returning to the show either. So if you're wondering what these OG cast members have been up to since their exit from 'Vanderpump Rules', we got you covered.

Where is Stassi Schroeder now?
When Stassi's firing from 'Vanderpump Rules' was announced, the reality star pretty much lost all her endorsements deals. But shortly after getting fired from the show, Stassi turned a new leaf in her life when she found out that she was pregnant with her first child with husband Beau Clark. On her podcast, 'The Good, The Bad and The Baby' the reality star admitted that her pregnancy and baby saved her. "I think [it] made me so much better to be pregnant while I was going through a hard time. If I wasn’t pregnant, I probably would have just like … gone to alcoholism, Xanax. I would have lashed out, dark passenger-ed. And I think our baby 100 percent saved me.”
“When I look back on this past year, to me it’s filled with so much more happiness and thankfulness and gratitude than sadness,” the 42-year-old said. “Because when I have the f—king greatest gift I’ve ever been given, it puts things into perspective," reported US Weekly. These days Stassi is busy working on her podcast and raising her beautiful daughter Hartford with her husband Beau Clark.
Where is Kristen Doute now?
When Kristen was fired from 'Vanderpump Rules' she left the show on a bad note. The OG star was fesuding with her best friends Stassi and Katie Maloney over her ex-boyfriend. Since her exit from the show, Kristen's life too took a turn for good. The 'Vanderpump Rules' alum is in a healthy and happy relationship with Alex Menache.
Earlier this year, Kristen took to her Instagram to reveal that Alex and she were trying to have a baby but she seemed to be concerned about her fertility and if she could get pregnant. She wrote, "I've had really off cycles lately and it's been making me really nervous because of my age. Going in to [the gynecologist], we were not able to do the tests we were hoping for so it really stressed me out and kind of broke my f--king heart, but we did the best we could with what we could do." "It's just been a lot of anticipatory anxiety for the last two months of the unknown of what was going on with my body," she added.
On the bright side, Kristen and Stassi seem to have put their differences aside after getting fired from the show and are reportedly friends again, according to US Weekly.
Where is Jax Taylor now?
Jax and his wife Brittany Cartwright took to Instagram that they wouldn't be returning to 'Vanderpump Rules'.

Although this is difficult to share, Brittany and I will not be returning for another season of Vanderpump Rules. We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors. @bravotv, @evolutionusa and our Vanderpump castmates will always remain close to our hearts.

We will definitely be seeing them return. Many people are interested in this new journey and they are very excited to share."
