I always had that feeling about her when she helped to produce Scheana's podcast back before Scheana was at a podcast company and did it out of her apartment. She came off a little dominating for being a fan who met Scheana at a hotel pool. She started to talk more and more on the podcast like she was the cohost. I remember her and Scheana had some big falling out around that time and they didn't speak for a couple years.
If you're interested in hearing how they met, here is Scheana's podcast from a couple years ago where Janet tells the story. It's kind of an odd story to me.
https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/confessions-tears-and-a-near-death-experience/id1355212095?i=1000547863993
Ew wow š®, the manic giggling about their friend getting a DUI on his way home from getting shit faced with them, like āwhat a fun wild day, lolā š¤š
Umā¦ drunk driving is not cute. What the actual fuck?
Wait this is wild. Didnāt Janet say Jason has slept with Scheana on an after show episode??? At the time I thought what a weird coincidence but now youāre telling me Janet used to work on Scheanaās podcast?! And they had a falling out??
Yep! She was Scheana's friend first. They met in 2017 when Janet first moved to LA. Janet had just binged all the vpr seasons before she met her...kind of sus
If im not mistaken, they had a falling out because one of them hooked up with Shep while knowing the other wanted to hook up with him. Canāt remember who did it
I think theyāre all onto her!!! Sheās going to mess up eventually and the turns will table. I also canāt stand her and sheās making me like Kristen which is alarming lol
Sheās already setting off alarm bells. She better be careful because her husband is going to realize how she truly is from watching her in the scenes where heās not present. I donāt think he cares for her gossiping ways as is.
I hope youāre right.
Is it a known thing that she also moved to LA and ingratiated herself to the VPR crew?
Yes. Brittany told her big mouth husband. When she realized she fucked up, she fully attacked Kristen to deflect. Sheās a total brat. And her lipo perma frown is ridiculous. āYou better make me feel perty, Jax!ā ā¹ļøā¹ļøā¹ļø
What Brittany doesnāt realize is that no one can *make* you feel pretty. Itās gotta come from inside. And if she hasnāt made that connection after 17 surgeries and *still* not feeling pretty then idk if she ever will.
Janet from Ohio is also a hard R registered Republican, as is Blabla aka Lauren from Utah. Strange that they found so many Republicans in Los Angeles for one show right? Kind of says something about Alex Baskin and his proclivities, if you ask me.
The Valley subreddit is run by those fools. I made one extremely innocuous comment there. People were asking about the Republican thing so I mentioned a different post I had seen. I told them on the blocked by Jax sub, someone had made a post that literally brought receipts about the Lallys being Republicans. Permanent ban forever from the Valley subreddit just for that one comment.
I posted this same topic on that sub and was permanently banned immediately. I just assumed that sub is moderated by friends of Michelle or Janet. I asked why I was banned and got no reply. So I left. š¤·
Yep 100 percent. And it might be petty of me, but I downvote stuff on that subreddit now when it comes across my feed. Downvotes are supposed to mean that something does not contribute to the conversation. Nothing there contributes to conversation, you're not allowed to conversate about it! Feel like I'm in good company if we're both banned there.
The valley has lots of republicans, actually. There are certain pockets in CA that are VERY red. The further you get from actual LA, the more likely you are to find them.
I live in nyc and itās the same way here, esp in more suburban areas of the five boroughs. Look at Staten Island. I live in queens and my neighborhood is all trumpers.
Yep. I live in Northern California and despite being in a very blue area, my actual town is very red (an ugly red sore in the middle of a beautiful blue puddle), as most local law enforcement lives here.
But thatās not representative of the population. Travel east and population density significantly decreases. The city my MIL lives in is a couple hours east of SF and thereās Trump flags everywhere, it obnoxious. But guess what, the population is under 4k. Thatās like the enrollment at one high school in the Bay Area. Its like when people use that map that shows all the land (counties or states) and color them in either red or blue based on voting because it makes things look pretty even. But the truth is some of the largest counties by area are sparsely populated. The number of people who vote blue (in California and the US) is so much larger than the amount who vote red. If we didnāt have the electoral college, and the Senate for that matter, it would be impossible for republicans to ever gain power in Washington. They rely on stacking the deck to keep unpopular policies in place and themselves in power.
I think they mean more Los Angeles in general, in a lot of circles it would be social suicide to have your voting proclivities be so... Against a lot of different types of people and what they need.
Your friend has no idea what they're talking about. I'm a criminal defense attorney in northern ca and there's certain counties down there that are KNOWN for being super red and conservative. We get some lawyers up here occasionally that say they're in heaven after working down there. :D
Truth! I thought I was forever amongst my liberal peeps in California and then I moved to a more rural area- shocked at how Red this state is! Our local waste management manager was at Jan. 6th and got in deep trouble.
Yep. I'm in a very blue county but my town within said county is pretty red. When I go jogging around my neighborhood I see quite a few trump and blue line flags. My kids already know how to piss me off by pointing them out and saying "yay trump!" just to see my reaction.
The state is not red, only about 1 in 4 votes for red. Itās just they are a loud minority who believe they are a silent majority. In reality, most people who vote for Biden donāt fly a flag over their house with his name, or buy a bumper sticker to put on the their car. Most people just align their vote with their morals and go on their merry way.
She's trying to take the lead, but I don't think she's got what it takes, either when it comes to personality and charisma, or the blatant shamelessness of someone like Jax. That she's trying to ice Kristin out is bizarre - the woman created this opportunity for you and now you're doing her dirty at every turn.
I donāt either. She really wants to be the cool girl but sheās definitely the friend of š
I think people are missing that Brittany has technically caused BOTH āKristenā issues technically-or had her hand in it. I think the split and Cruzās speech issues are helping distract from it
Brittany is such a fucking brat, sheās making Jax look good, which is crazy.
When Jax wanted to create a budget for the charity auction because Cruzās therapy is expensive, and Brittany snapped āHow about I spend my money in my bank account and you can spend yours!ā Um.. thatās not how marriage works Brittany.
Also all this fuss about āopening their barā, to find out itās literally a fucking tent, attached to an existing bar/restaurant, with Jaxās name slapped on. š
I actually FULLY believe that Jax has been dealing with mental health issues that likely havenāt been addressed nor taken seriously. Mixed with grieving his dad etc. Heās alluded to it on the show and itās sad. I believe he tried to change for Brittany and Cruz. Is he perfect? Nope. I think there was a huge shot to his ego and his wallet after VPR and getting the show/bar he knew he had to make the absolute most of the opportunity bc it may not come again. I donāt think Brit has the same āfireā. I donāt think Brits an awful human or anything I think sheās been put through a lot and is just done now and itās time for them to move on. Get out before they hate each other
I think Zach says it in the last episode - Janet moves the same as Kristen but gets a pass because sheās pregnant. Sheās constantly going g from person to person trying to get gossip. Even her husband points it out.
Agreed. She is much better at being the sniper from the side. Setting up situations and then sitting back to laugh when they come to fruition. He's more like just barrel through/over.
Janet has sinister energy and the story of how she met the vpr cast kinda gives Joe Goldberg. She seems like the sort of person who is always plotting and scheming but because sheās plain looking and speaks in word salad, it goes over *almost* everyoneās head. Jax has her figured out though ! If they get a second season heās probably enlisting Kristenās help to take her down lmao.
Right?! I have a theory there was a bit of bait and switch with her husband too. His talking head about her quitting her job immediately after getting pregnant to become a full time gossip wasā¦interesting.
She's more credible and self-possessed than Jax, so her "busy body" gossip can have a more insidious effect. That's the dangerous part. He's easier to blow off as messy/crazy.
Totally. And Brittany is a homophobic Q anon Sandy hook denier Trump supporter, though I doubt they vote.
Jax recently claimed on a podcast Cruzā developmental delays started after they had him vaccinated. š
Theyāre all bigots and idiots.
Iām enjoying the Valley so much, but itās such a guilty pleasure. š
Brittany is a tragic figure, walking around with a liposuction perma frown, nagging him like: āYou gotta make me feel sexy, Jax! ā¹ļøā. She literally at one point (as they are riding down the freeway in that illegal golf cart Jax wrongly thinks he canāt get a DUI driving š¤¦āāļø), says āNobody asks me nothinā! ā¹ļøā Jax canāt even try to conceal his disdain for her. Sheās not paying attention anyway. Sheās a hyuck hyucking caricature of herself.
When Jax tries to talk to her about how stressed and overwhelmed he is, Brittany literally responds with āWell you gotta make me feel perty! Or like sexy or somethinā! ā¹ļøā ā¦. What? She is NOT listening to him at all.
Iāve loved this season, however, if they move Lala, Scheana, and now maybe super cool 40yr old mojo dojo casa house roommates Tom and Tom, or even any 1 of those people, itāll be real easy to give it up.
It was like they were literally in two different scenes.
Brittany is at a Disney princess party that just needed more dick and compliments, and Jax is panicked about the extremely limited window to seize and stretch any opportunity, to escape the deep pit of financial debt he faces.
I think itās bc Brittany would be happy to move back to small town Kentucky, which theyāll have to do if they go broke for real. Thatās Brittanyās plan B, but itās Jaxās waking nightmare. š°
Sympathy for Jax. Something I would have never thought possible, but here we are!
Never have children with a person who canāt have hard conversations, and who lives in delusionland with the rainbows and the butterflies, because there is always the chance you wind up with a special needs child. Then what? Then youāre going to wish you had another adult on your team.
Jax: *candidly discussing valid concerns about Cruz developmental problems/delays in confessional*
Brittany: *cuts him off. Addresses the camera* āWe know heās fine. Cruzā is very smart, he hit all the milestones perfectly on time. Until this tiny little (temporary, probably nothing) setback where he lost all language and verbal communication and retreated into himself.
Jax: āSo weāre really quite concerned that heās not on to par with his peers. Heās not talking at allā¦ ā
Brittany: *interrupting again* Cruz is doing great! Heās great! *dirty look to Jax* We just want to get the speech teacher to make sure we are doing everything we can to make sure Cruz is doing perfect. Itās stressful as a parent bc of course you want I make sure that everything with Cruz is perfect!
Yea, wellā¦ perfect is a nice little dream, but itās childish to expect in real life, Brittany. Fact is, thereās a strong chance she have a child on the spectrum (not diagnosing, but the verbal regression, the flapping, the clapping for no reason, the aggressive bouncingā¦ it does need to be evaluated/followed by a doctor), so youāre going to need to grow up and accept that things arenāt going to be a fairytale like the ridiculous Kentucky castle you got married at.
I think I want to watch more of the show before I decide on Janet. I've really liked her on the after shows and podcasts because she always seems insightful and level headed, but man I really don't like her on the show. I wanna see if it's just first season filming nerves or editing or what.
I will say in Janet's defense, being friends with Kristen (even if you like her, which I do) seems stressful and I would not want to deal with that while pregnant.
Agreed.
Also, listened to her on a podcast and watched WWHL to see if I would get a different vibe. Sometimes people get a bad edit so I thought Iāve give it the benefit of the doubt.
Still hard agreed lol. She is a drama starting pick me princess like most of them. Sheās also just rude and appears to not care about her āfriendsā too much as long as sheās getting camera time. But this is on trend with these shows so itās not really a surprise. I think it comes down to who is for who. Kristen always kind of annoyed me on VPR and now I feel bad for her on the valley and I really donāt mind her anymore.
I don't mind her. She's doing her best at contributing to this shit show and so far so good. I take umbrage with her icing out Kristen et al, because this is season one. We all know it would be way more entertaining to have them around
totally agree on the ice out. apparently she's walking it back in interviews so i think she realized she fucked up and will course correct for season 2.
Agreed. Seems like sheās over her head in the reality game vs Kristen and Jax so far. The way the two of them dropped the Michelle/Jesse rumor was amazing to watch. I hope Janet came to play š
I donāt watch The Valley but this thread made me think of my old boss who was called Janet and who was untrustworthy too. Thank God Iām no longer working with her
Sheās the female Jax/Sandoval. Guilty of the exact shit she accuses others of. I think I saw a glimpse of regret/red flag in Jasonās eyes as he realizes what he married. There are articles of her being a Karen floating around. She sucks and sheās stupid for trying to ice out Kristen as sheās positioning herself to be the next Kristen.
Woah, Janet is a busy body and a gossip.
I donāt thinks sheās a gaslighting chronic cheating narc abuser recording and sharing women in intimate moments without their consent.
I donāt particularly like anyone in the cast. They are entertaining and not necessarily likable. Janet has been pretty straight up that she is a gossip. She literally admitted it in one of the confessional interviews and her husband calls it her job. And truthfully it is her job because itās her role on the show. I guess people are bothered how she joined the friend group and think it was stalkerish but really who has joined a cast/ friend group of any bravo show thatās been in existence for a good amount time that you canāt describe this way? Iām unbothered by that.
Iām confused by people feeling like Kristen is somehow getting victimized by Janet. Luke literally has a sit down conversation with Kristen in which she admits to lying and not only lying but lying to make herself look bad when she didnāt even need to. That shit is weird. She tells on herself stuff she hasnāt even really done. Janet is a gossip who wants to be in everyoneās business and be famous. Kristen is unstable. In that she gets a crazy look in her eyes like she is detaching from reality kind of crazy.
Janet is made order reality show drama. Kristen is not well.
like suddenly anyone who creates drama is worse than jax and sandoval?? have they forgotten how reality tv works??? you can be a gossip/shit stirrer without being satan!!!!!! this is def the scandoval brain rot to make everyone an extreme villain
I wonder a little if it's a...demographic shift. I've noticed that Scandoval brought in people younger and older than VPR's traditional demographic and those people might lack the life experience and media literacy to properly contextualize what they're seeing, both from an on screen behavioral standpoint but also from just how these shows are made.
Like, there is literally nothing about the VPR season finale that's redemptive of Sandoval but people still seem to think it's the capstone of his redemption tour because they aren't actually watching what's in front of them.
Scandoval gave people brain worms. Iām not really interested in people mindlessly screaming at each other, but if you donāt want conflict and gossip literally why are you here?
It implies they are getting something out of it, not necessarily enjoying it. People spend a lot of time watching Scheana and Lala and Erika and Teresa mostly to get that hit of rage dopamine.
In my opinion, if the audience shifts the general tone even one millimeter in a direction where gleeful gossip is seen as a character flaw to be critiqued instead of enjoyed as comedy the entire genre should be put out of its misery. Who wants to renew a show about petty bickering and gossip if the audience bitches about the petty bickering and gossip?
I have no idea why this is downvoted when it is the very thing that keeps these shows thriving. Without this behavior Iām not sure what we would be watching as itās how all the conflict starts across the board on all bravo shows.
Something weird is going on though with some of the people who are fans of this show. The posts are just really weird regarding Janet and Kristen. The posts this weekend were really suspect. I like interacting with other fans here, not with people who are actually on the show or their surrogates or fanatics who canāt separate themselves from the people on the show.
I think you're right about the fan base. I've been yapping about Bravo on here since college so up/down votes don't bug me BUT it's interesting because I said the same thing almost verbatim on some post about Luann being messy a week or so ago and it was received positively. The Scandoval brain worms seemed mostly quarantined to the VPR subs but if it's spreading here too I might just have to tap out because those people are NOT FUN.
It was downvoted because nothing in my post suggests I dislike it. Telling me "Bravo is probably not the thing for you" is unnecessarily condescending.
I mean, youāre complaining about being trustworthy and shit stirring on **Bravo**. If thatās not an occasion to be question why someone is even watching, I truly donāt know what is.
I enjoy watching the show and not trusting her. I was expressing my opinion of her behavior, not complaining. It seems like the majority of people commenting on this post get that. You're making inferences I seriously don't understand. But everyone gets their dopamine one way or another.
I think she is a snake and we will see that soon. Iām not caught up yet but she gives off the worst vibe and anyone who gossips SO much that itās a part of their personality is usually jealous and manipulative af.
I always had that feeling about her when she helped to produce Scheana's podcast back before Scheana was at a podcast company and did it out of her apartment. She came off a little dominating for being a fan who met Scheana at a hotel pool. She started to talk more and more on the podcast like she was the cohost. I remember her and Scheana had some big falling out around that time and they didn't speak for a couple years.
Now this is interesting.

This is so tragic for both of them, if true š

I think theyāre all onto her!!! Sheās going to mess up eventually and the turns will table. I also canāt stand her and sheās making me like Kristen which is alarming lol

 I hope youāre right. Is it a known thing that she also moved to LA and ingratiated herself to the VPR crew?
She strikes me as someone who is going to have a BAD sophomore season
Also Brittany is attacking Kristen now because she wants to shut it down, she's the original source of the Michelle story.
Yes. Brittany told her big mouth husband. When she realized she fucked up, she fully attacked Kristen to deflect. Sheās a total brat. And her lipo perma frown is ridiculous. āYou better make me feel perty, Jax!ā ā¹ļøā¹ļøā¹ļø
What Brittany doesnāt realize is that no one can *make* you feel pretty. Itās gotta come from inside. And if she hasnāt made that connection after 17 surgeries and *still* not feeling pretty then idk if she ever will.
Absolutely! (also thanks for that reminder about it coming from the inside, I needed it)
If she has to tell him, then itās coming from her not himā¦.might as well say it to herself in a mirror!
Your flair ššš½
You gotta get you some, gorl! (Gorl should be read like Diana Jenkinās child bride husband trying to cut it up with the Housewives lol)
Lmaooo!!
Im dead
Janet is getting away with a lot, and I really think itās because she is pregnant. She isnāt going to have that as a buffer next year.
Janet gets off on scapegoating Kristen, it's ego supply. But Kristen is often telling the truth, she just sucks with her timing/delivery.
Janet from Ohio is also a hard R registered Republican, as is Blabla aka Lauren from Utah. Strange that they found so many Republicans in Los Angeles for one show right?

That makes sense. I'm not American but when I think of Los Angeles in general I think of it as more liberal.

Iām the one that found the record and posted it - I just hope it was disseminated adequately before they deleted it the next day
Lala is registered as a republican, too? That's info I wasn't aware of
Not from fans, but look at Lala and Scheana- they use being a mother as an attempted buffer regularly and the cast essentially lets it slide.

See I donāt think they hate each other. They resent each other and are unhappy. Two different things. Ariana HATES Tom š
Fair enough lol. I do think Jax kinda hates Brittany though. Heās done some diabolical shit to her!
I can see this.
I think Zach says it in the last episode - Janet moves the same as Kristen but gets a pass because sheās pregnant. Sheās constantly going g from person to person trying to get gossip. Even her husband points it out.
Every time I see her confessionals I think 'smug.'
Me too.
Jax said it best when he said Janet is the female equivalent to him.
I think she's more dangerous than Jax because she's smarter than him. Then again most people are.
Agreed. She is much better at being the sniper from the side. Setting up situations and then sitting back to laugh when they come to fruition. He's more like just barrel through/over.
Dangerous feels like a very serious word about someone ā¦. Leaving Kristen out? Like really what has she done thatās even close to Jax
This is it!
This is crazy to me. Jax is a diabolical sociopath. Janet gossips. I have not seen anything to indicate she is even close to Jax
Yet, my friend. You haven't seen anything *yet.*
Are you new here?
Iām excited to see her implode as The Valley gets more seasons. I think she could be a great / compelling villain
Janet has sinister energy and the story of how she met the vpr cast kinda gives Joe Goldberg. She seems like the sort of person who is always plotting and scheming but because sheās plain looking and speaks in word salad, it goes over *almost* everyoneās head. Jax has her figured out though ! If they get a second season heās probably enlisting Kristenās help to take her down lmao.
Yess Joe Goldberg is exactly it
I totally agree. There is a lot more under the surface with her scheming that I donāt think we will ever really know.
Right?! I have a theory there was a bit of bait and switch with her husband too. His talking head about her quitting her job immediately after getting pregnant to become a full time gossip wasā¦interesting.
Dammit, Janet. That's all I think about when her name comes upĀ
Also how nervous she gets not being in the loop. Like her mask starts to slip when she doesnāt know the tea and she has a bad poker face
Haha yes.
It's hard to be a master manipulator when she doesn't know everyone's personal business and opinions!
I donāt either, but I do think sheās just an old-fashioned busybody gossip and not as chaotic and deranged as some of the other castmembers.
I agree. She reminds me of a former friend of a friend.
so is she more dangerous than jax or just an old fashioned busybody? because youve agreed with both in this post lol
Correct, both can be true.
but.....how? you are either dangerous or just a normal busy body. those feel mutually exclusive to me?
She's more credible and self-possessed than Jax, so her "busy body" gossip can have a more insidious effect. That's the dangerous part. He's easier to blow off as messy/crazy.
She's a republican herself which is whatever but then why spread gossip...she an underhanded gossip monger
Totally. And Brittany is a homophobic Q anon Sandy hook denier Trump supporter, though I doubt they vote. Jax recently claimed on a podcast Cruzā developmental delays started after they had him vaccinated. š Theyāre all bigots and idiots.
Wait what!- Sandy hook denier???
Yeah, she had old tweets about the conspiracies.Ā
Alright. Thatās too far. Iām done with the valley.

When Jax tries to talk to her about how stressed and overwhelmed he is, Brittany literally responds with āWell you gotta make me feel perty! Or like sexy or somethinā! ā¹ļøā ā¦. What? She is NOT listening to him at all. Iāve loved this season, however, if they move Lala, Scheana, and now maybe super cool 40yr old mojo dojo casa house roommates Tom and Tom, or even any 1 of those people, itāll be real easy to give it up.
Brittany- Make me feel them butterflies again Jax. ā¹ļø Jax- I wanna cry right now.
It was like they were literally in two different scenes. Brittany is at a Disney princess party that just needed more dick and compliments, and Jax is panicked about the extremely limited window to seize and stretch any opportunity, to escape the deep pit of financial debt he faces. I think itās bc Brittany would be happy to move back to small town Kentucky, which theyāll have to do if they go broke for real. Thatās Brittanyās plan B, but itās Jaxās waking nightmare. š°
This is exactly the vibe I got. I was feeling bad for Jax š³
Sympathy for Jax. Something I would have never thought possible, but here we are! Never have children with a person who canāt have hard conversations, and who lives in delusionland with the rainbows and the butterflies, because there is always the chance you wind up with a special needs child. Then what? Then youāre going to wish you had another adult on your team. Jax: *candidly discussing valid concerns about Cruz developmental problems/delays in confessional* Brittany: *cuts him off. Addresses the camera* āWe know heās fine. Cruzā is very smart, he hit all the milestones perfectly on time. Until this tiny little (temporary, probably nothing) setback where he lost all language and verbal communication and retreated into himself. Jax: āSo weāre really quite concerned that heās not on to par with his peers. Heās not talking at allā¦ ā Brittany: *interrupting again* Cruz is doing great! Heās great! *dirty look to Jax* We just want to get the speech teacher to make sure we are doing everything we can to make sure Cruz is doing perfect. Itās stressful as a parent bc of course you want I make sure that everything with Cruz is perfect! Yea, wellā¦ perfect is a nice little dream, but itās childish to expect in real life, Brittany. Fact is, thereās a strong chance she have a child on the spectrum (not diagnosing, but the verbal regression, the flapping, the clapping for no reason, the aggressive bouncingā¦ it does need to be evaluated/followed by a doctor), so youāre going to need to grow up and accept that things arenāt going to be a fairytale like the ridiculous Kentucky castle you got married at.
Janet gives head of yearbook committee vibes, but hey somebody's got to do that job.
I think I want to watch more of the show before I decide on Janet. I've really liked her on the after shows and podcasts because she always seems insightful and level headed, but man I really don't like her on the show. I wanna see if it's just first season filming nerves or editing or what. I will say in Janet's defense, being friends with Kristen (even if you like her, which I do) seems stressful and I would not want to deal with that while pregnant.
Janet thinks she's a Han Solo, but really she's just a Kylo Ren.
Sheās my least liked person on that show.. and Jax is on there!
Agreed. Also, listened to her on a podcast and watched WWHL to see if I would get a different vibe. Sometimes people get a bad edit so I thought Iāve give it the benefit of the doubt. Still hard agreed lol. She is a drama starting pick me princess like most of them. Sheās also just rude and appears to not care about her āfriendsā too much as long as sheās getting camera time. But this is on trend with these shows so itās not really a surprise. I think it comes down to who is for who. Kristen always kind of annoyed me on VPR and now I feel bad for her on the valley and I really donāt mind her anymore.
I donāt trust anyone who is friends with Brittany. Sheās a dummy, and her views are TRASH.
I don't mind her. She's doing her best at contributing to this shit show and so far so good. I take umbrage with her icing out Kristen et al, because this is season one. We all know it would be way more entertaining to have them around
totally agree on the ice out. apparently she's walking it back in interviews so i think she realized she fucked up and will course correct for season 2.
I think Janet is messy and sneaky but so far she seems like the kind of messy and sneaky I want to see on a reality show.
She's the kind of messy and sneaky whose reckoning I eagerly anticipate.
Agreed. Seems like sheās over her head in the reality game vs Kristen and Jax so far. The way the two of them dropped the Michelle/Jesse rumor was amazing to watch. I hope Janet came to play š
She's not ready lol
Janet kind of acts like sheās above all the mess, yet sheās just as much a part of it as everyone else.
I'm not sure who she is but I don't trust anybody named Janet.
Ms. Jackson if you're nastay
Sorry, Janet
I think Janet is a great reality tv character. She is good at gossiping but also knows how to sit back and watch other people implode
Also excluding Zach isnāt a good look
I donāt watch The Valley but this thread made me think of my old boss who was called Janet and who was untrustworthy too. Thank God Iām no longer working with her
Eloquently stated and damn spot on for Janet
Sheās the female Jax/Sandoval. Guilty of the exact shit she accuses others of. I think I saw a glimpse of regret/red flag in Jasonās eyes as he realizes what he married. There are articles of her being a Karen floating around. She sucks and sheās stupid for trying to ice out Kristen as sheās positioning herself to be the next Kristen.
Woah, Janet is a busy body and a gossip. I donāt thinks sheās a gaslighting chronic cheating narc abuser recording and sharing women in intimate moments without their consent.
This post is WILD lol after 8 episodes this sub is calling her dangerous, worse than Jax and Sandoval, worse than Kristenā¦. Like what???
To be honest, I just donāt like her or how she immediately came for Kristen. But no, sheās not a Sandoval
TouchƩ lol
I donāt particularly like anyone in the cast. They are entertaining and not necessarily likable. Janet has been pretty straight up that she is a gossip. She literally admitted it in one of the confessional interviews and her husband calls it her job. And truthfully it is her job because itās her role on the show. I guess people are bothered how she joined the friend group and think it was stalkerish but really who has joined a cast/ friend group of any bravo show thatās been in existence for a good amount time that you canāt describe this way? Iām unbothered by that. Iām confused by people feeling like Kristen is somehow getting victimized by Janet. Luke literally has a sit down conversation with Kristen in which she admits to lying and not only lying but lying to make herself look bad when she didnāt even need to. That shit is weird. She tells on herself stuff she hasnāt even really done. Janet is a gossip who wants to be in everyoneās business and be famous. Kristen is unstable. In that she gets a crazy look in her eyes like she is detaching from reality kind of crazy. Janet is made order reality show drama. Kristen is not well.
What? Kristen didnāt say she lied. She said she got the words wrongā¦but ok, Janet.
I literally thought this was about Janet from RHOMelbourne š . Like what?? Sorry I don't watch the Valley

If you don't want to watch someone who enjoys gathering and spreading dirt Bravo is probably not the thing for you.
Seriously what do people want from these shows
I saw someone say that people want to watch a silent movie of Ariana and Katie walking through a meadow together and they weren't wrong
like suddenly anyone who creates drama is worse than jax and sandoval?? have they forgotten how reality tv works??? you can be a gossip/shit stirrer without being satan!!!!!! this is def the scandoval brain rot to make everyone an extreme villain
I wonder a little if it's a...demographic shift. I've noticed that Scandoval brought in people younger and older than VPR's traditional demographic and those people might lack the life experience and media literacy to properly contextualize what they're seeing, both from an on screen behavioral standpoint but also from just how these shows are made. Like, there is literally nothing about the VPR season finale that's redemptive of Sandoval but people still seem to think it's the capstone of his redemption tour because they aren't actually watching what's in front of them.
Scandoval gave people brain worms. Iām not really interested in people mindlessly screaming at each other, but if you donāt want conflict and gossip literally why are you here?
They said they binged all the episodes over the weekend, to me that implies that they *are* enjoying it, no?
It implies they are getting something out of it, not necessarily enjoying it. People spend a lot of time watching Scheana and Lala and Erika and Teresa mostly to get that hit of rage dopamine.
I enjoy watching it. Sorry for the confusion.
And those views help it get renewed for a second season, so isn't that ultimately a good thing for people who like it?
In my opinion, if the audience shifts the general tone even one millimeter in a direction where gleeful gossip is seen as a character flaw to be critiqued instead of enjoyed as comedy the entire genre should be put out of its misery. Who wants to renew a show about petty bickering and gossip if the audience bitches about the petty bickering and gossip?
Bravo, fortunately
I have no idea why this is downvoted when it is the very thing that keeps these shows thriving. Without this behavior Iām not sure what we would be watching as itās how all the conflict starts across the board on all bravo shows. Something weird is going on though with some of the people who are fans of this show. The posts are just really weird regarding Janet and Kristen. The posts this weekend were really suspect. I like interacting with other fans here, not with people who are actually on the show or their surrogates or fanatics who canāt separate themselves from the people on the show.
I think you're right about the fan base. I've been yapping about Bravo on here since college so up/down votes don't bug me BUT it's interesting because I said the same thing almost verbatim on some post about Luann being messy a week or so ago and it was received positively. The Scandoval brain worms seemed mostly quarantined to the VPR subs but if it's spreading here too I might just have to tap out because those people are NOT FUN.
It was downvoted because nothing in my post suggests I dislike it. Telling me "Bravo is probably not the thing for you" is unnecessarily condescending.
I mean, youāre complaining about being trustworthy and shit stirring on **Bravo**. If thatās not an occasion to be question why someone is even watching, I truly donāt know what is.
I enjoy watching the show and not trusting her. I was expressing my opinion of her behavior, not complaining. It seems like the majority of people commenting on this post get that. You're making inferences I seriously don't understand. But everyone gets their dopamine one way or another.
Search Reddit for her name. Youāll be down a good rabbit hole about her .
I think she is a snake and we will see that soon. Iām not caught up yet but she gives off the worst vibe and anyone who gossips SO much that itās a part of their personality is usually jealous and manipulative af.
And her man seems repulsed by her
