Kristen Doute thinks she's earned a second chance after being fired from 'Vanderpump Rules'

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I think everyone deserves second or even third or fourth chances if you are growing, learning, proving through your actions as a person."

Kristen is joined on the new series by her boyfriend Luke Broderick, and the TV star has admitted to having mixed feelings about opening up their lives to the public.

She said: "It's a little nerve-racking, but it's so exciting.

"I think I have just evolved so much ... We have our podcast, but I really wanted to showcase our life and wanting to be married, eventually married, wanting to be parents."

Kristen is also convinced that their romance can withstand the inevitable scrutiny that will come her way.

The TV star shared: "I trust our relationship and how much we have worked on communication and therapy.

"He is so communicative, so emotionally intelligent, that I knew he wouldn't say yes if he weren't able and willing to try to handle it."

By contrast, Kristen has admitted that she still has a wild side to her personality.

The reality star joked: "Luke and I like to say, like, 'Crazy Kristen doesn't sit with us - she doesn't go here anymore'. But, like, once in a while she likes to make an appearance. That is fine, but she doesn't get to live permanently in 'The Valley' anymore."
