In a recent social media incident, Kristen Doute strongly condemned Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi for speculating about Brittany Cartwright’s potential pregnancy, labeling the act as inappropriate and disrespectful. The event, which took place over the Labor Day weekend, has ignited conversations about body shaming and privacy in the entertainment industry.
The speculation began when GG commented on an Instagram post by the fan account Cici Loves You, which featured photos of Brittany Cartwright and her new boyfriend, Brandon Hanson, enjoying a vacation in Mexico. GG wrote, “No shade, but is she pregnant too? I mean, he’s holding her belly and the belly is definitely bellying,” suggesting that the pose indicated a pregnancy announcement. This comment was made on Saturday, August 31, 2025, and quickly drew attention from followers and fellow celebrities.
Kristen Doute, a close friend of Brittany’s from their time on “Vanderpump Rules,” saw the comment and directly messaged GG on Instagram to express her disapproval. In messages later shared on her Instagram Story, Doute called GG’s behavior “f***ing disgusting” and emphasized the importance of not publicly speculating about someone’s body, especially as a woman and a mother herself. She highlighted the harm such comments can cause, particularly in the context of body image issues.
GG responded by admitting that she might have been mistaken, stating that the photo appeared to be a pregnancy announcement but acknowledging she doesn’t know Brittany’s usual body shape. However, she quickly became defensive, telling Doute that they now have “major issues” and warning her against name-calling. This shift in tone escalated the conflict from a simple misunderstanding to a personal feud.
The confrontation intensified as GG threatened to retaliate by sharing her own criticisms of Doute, advising her to “accept God into your life.” She ended her message with a challenging note, saying, “buckle up buck teef,” indicating that the dispute is ongoing and could lead to further public exchanges. This response has been viewed as confrontational and unapologetic by many observers.
This incident occurs against the backdrop of Brittany Cartwright’s personal life changes. She divorced Jax Taylor in 2024 after five years of marriage, and they share a son, Cruz. Recently, Brittany has been dating Brandon Hanson, who is also navigating a divorce, with sources indicating they found comfort in each other during this transitional period. The photos that sparked the speculation were from their recent trip to Mexico, where they were seen displaying affection.
Other reality TV stars have weighed in on the situation, largely supporting Doute’s stance. Janet Caperna, who co-starred with Doute on “The Valley,” supported her, writing, “Never thought I’d say this but GO KRISTEN! There’s no place for body shaming or pregnancy speculation in 2025.” Katie Maloney from “Vanderpump Rules” also criticized GG, calling her actions “weird.” These reactions underscore a broader consensus against unwarranted speculation about women’s bodies.
The feud underscores the sensitivity surrounding body image and public commentary, particularly for women in the spotlight. It highlights the need for respect and boundaries on social media, and it remains to be seen how this will affect their relationships or if there will be any resolution. This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges celebrities face with privacy and public perception.
