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 aren’t “alleged” at all.
During a podcast interview, The Valley star 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.” What people are saying about James being abusive is “exactly right.”
The host continued to revisit the headlines alleging James is physically abusive, Kristen interjected, “No. It’s not alleged.”
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. Rachel’s lawsuit describes, in significant detail, Mr. Kennedy’s 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 former Vanderpump Rules star accused her ex-fiancé of physically abusing an animal.
“Leviss 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.”
“At Thanksgiving with Leviss’s family in Arizona, Kennedy erupted at Leviss’s mother and father, and kicked her family dog four times in an uncontrollable rage.”
