Janet Caperna Addresses Claims She's a Vanderpump Rules "Fan"

Janet Caperna is finally setting the record straight on the claims that she is a Vanderpump Rules "super fan," after Kristen Doute accused her of being just that in The Valley Season 2 trailer.

The Valley cast member and Ohio native exclusively spoke with The Daily Dish in a recent interview, where she admitted that she was a fan of Bravo prior to moving to Los Angeles. It was in LA where Janet became friends with VPR's Scheana Shay, who eventually ended up introducing her to her (now) husband, Jason Caperna. "I have been a Bravo fan for years and it's absolutely the reason I met Scheana," she explained. "I don't think of it as an insult. I've loved not just VPR, but lots of the Housewives shows. Everything for years. My mom and I have watched them together. It's been a bonding thing for us."

Janet had also addressed this during a May 20 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she confirmed that she did not move to LA to "infiltrate the VPR cast." "I want to say yes, because that would make such a good story," she said. "So I wish it was true, but unfortunately, it was just Scheana and I met and got along."

Janet Caperna opens up about her life now since joining The Valley

Janet told The Daily Dish that she was thankful that she happened to meet Scheana that day, because it led to her fulfilling her "dream" of becoming a stay-at-home mom. "I'm so grateful I was a Bravo fan because now, eight years later, Scheana's one of the most wonderful friends I've ever had in my entire life," Janet noted.

"I think of it of more like a butterfly effect thing," she continued. "Like thank God I watched the show, and that day I happened to meet Scheana. Because now, obviously, my life has taken a completely different turn."
