Another Abuse Allegation Against James Kennedy Surfaces Ahead Of The Valley Premiere

Another abuse allegation against James Kennedy surfaced ahead of The Valley‘s premiere. 

Kristen Doute‘s boyfriend/co-host, Luke Broderick, expressed how James’s treatment of Kristen compares to other failed relationships from the friend group.

During an episode of the Sex, Love, and What Else Matters podcast, Luke explained, “Truly, it’s awful what [Tom] Sandoval did [to Ariana Madix], but it’s not worse than what Randall [Emmett] did to Lala [Kent].”

“It’s not worse than what James did to you [Kristen]” or “some of these other things that have gotten passed over a little quicker. It’s a matter of the media kind of making it just this monstrous thing.”

Let’s dive into Luke’s “It’s not worse than what James did to you” comment …

Kristen confirmed abuse allegations against James:

A month ago, Kristen Doute went on the record stating the abuse claims against James Kennedy aren’t “alleged.”

During a podcast interview, the returning Bravo TV personality awkwardly chuckled as the host asked, “Does James have a DJ name? DJ Beats … Women, allegedly?”

After a pregnant pause, Kristen replied, “It’s not alleged.” The abuse accusations against James are “exactly right.”

The host continued to revisit the headlines alleging James is physically abusive, Kristen interjected, “No. It’s not alleged.”

Although Kristen didn’t elaborate, she promised, “We’ll talk about it soon.”

More Allegations of Abuse From James:

James hasn’t only been accused of being physically abusive to Kristen, Rachel Leviss accused her ex of being “cruel” to the dog she gave up, Graham [now Hippie].

Although the abuse allegations against James are mounting, his current girlfriend, Ally Lewber, set the record straight.

“From my experience and from what I’ve witnessed, he loves that dog more than anything.”

“I would trust no one more than James with that dog … and myself,” concluded the popular Vanderpump Rules personality.

Bravoholics react to abuse allegations against James:

  • Why do you thing production protects him? They don’t check in the ladies or provide support and this season is all about trying to make him look good like an improved guy.
  • It is wild to go back and see how James acted & treated others. WILD.
  • Instead of James suffering repercussions, he gets a good edit. That’s so Bravo🫠
  • Its all betrayal… why compare ?
  • The way the men on this show get protected makes me crazy. Additionally, he gets a good edit?!?! Make it make sense
  • The abuse allegations against James need to stop getting ignored by the network
  • This whole affair was way overblown from the jump. Let’s talk about JAMES!
