Bravo fans are slamming Lisa Vanderpump after the "Vanderpump Rules" reality star made a bold statement defending James Kennedy.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the situation, Kennedy, who joined "VPR" in its second season, was arrested in December 2024 after a domestic violence charge was filed against him following an argument with his partner, Ally Lewber.
In a new interview, Lisa Vanderpump defended the DJ, saying he didn't "hurt" anyone before seemingly chalking the incident up to a misunderstanding. After Bravo fans learned of her reaction, they shared their enraged takes on social media.

After Kennedy's arrest was made public, the Bravoverse exploded, wondering what this could mean for the popular DJ and his relationship with Lewber.
Many assumed Vanderpump would be furious about the situation; however, based on her comments during an interview with Us Weekly, that couldn't be further from the truth.
She told readers that she had conversations with Kennedy and Lewber to ensure that both felt supported during their legal troubles. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum also said Lewber revealed important information to her about Kennedy's behavior during the night of his arrest.
"She told me categorically he didn’t hurt her. He never hurts her. They were both drinking," Vanderpump said.
The SUR owner went on to say that both Lewber and Kennedy were "being ridiculous and arguing," resulting in a run-in with law enforcement.
