The "Vanderpump Rules" Season 8 trailer dropped, and to say the new season is full of drama would be an understatement.

At the center of some of that drama is Kristen Doute, who, even before the teaser was released, was rumored to be on the outs with some of her co-stars, Stassi Schroeder and Katie Maloney-Schwartz. Now, two months before the premiere, she's revealing just where her relationships stand today.

"It's no surprise that we hit a low," Kristen told Entertainment Tonight of the current status of her friendships with Stassi and Katie.

She also admitted that although things won't ever be the same between them, she revealed that things are cordial and she will always be there.

"I feel like we've been friends for 10 years, family basically, my sisters, and with that comes up and downs. We're definitely at a down right now, so we'll kind of just see where it goes. My POV is I'll love them always and forever and support everything that they do," she said.

The 36-year-old reality star isn't the only one who has spoken out about the falling out between the ladies. Stassi alluded to the drama on an episode of her podcast, "Straight Up with Stassi."

“The drama is killing me," the New York Times bestselling author said. "I can’t anymore. I can’t talk about this [expletive] anymore."

With Kristen in a rocky place with some of her long-time pals, it will be interesting to see if she more readily befriends some of the Season 8 newbies.

"Vanderpump Rules" Season 8 premieres Tuesday, Jan.7 at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
