Kristen entered the chat:
The mom-to-be took to her Instagram story to share her feelings about seeing her former boyfriend’s arrest in TMZ. She posted the tabloid’s headline and added the caption, “FINALLY.”
Never forget, in February, Kristen claimed the James Kennedy abuse allegations arenโt โallegedโ at all.
During a podcast interview, The Valley star awkwardly chuckled as the host asked, โDoes James have a DJ name? DJ Beats โฆ Women, allegedly?โ
After a pregnant pause, Kristen replied,ย โItโs not alleged.โ What people are saying about James being abusive is โexactly right.โ
The host continued to revisit the headlines alleging James is physically abusive, Kristen interjected, โNo. Itโs not alleged.โ
Rachel’s lawyers talked about the arrest with TMZ:
The former beauty pageant contestant’s lawyers weren’t shocked to hear the news of the DV charge against James. “This news is, unfortunately, not surprising. Rachelโs lawsuit describes, in significant detail, Mr. Kennedyโs long history of erratic, violent behavior and substance abuse.”
The attorneys called out the production company for VPR who they claim knew about the DJ’s “troubling behavior all along.”
In case you missed it, in one of Rachel’s lawsuits, she accused James of hurting her family’s dog. Court docs reveal the formerย Vanderpump Rulesย star accused her ex-fiancรฉ of physically abusing an animal.
โLeviss eventually warned Kennedy that she would leave him if he did not stop drinking. However, she soon learned that his despicable behavior was not solely a function of alcohol abuse.โ
โAt Thanksgiving with Levissโs family in Arizona, Kennedy erupted at Levissโs mother and father, andย kicked her family dog four timesย in an uncontrollable rage.โ
