Kristen Doute is calling out Lisa Vanderpump over her comments about James Kennedy‘s domestic violence arrest.
Just one day after the 64-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum suggested that the 33-year-old DJ of Vanderpump Rules “didn’t hurt” his then-girlfriend, Ally Lewber, 29, after attending a party in December, the 41-year-old cast member of The Valley shared a series of messages on her Instagram Story in which she shaded Lisa for her claims.
“Absolutely and disgustingly diabolical,” Kristen wrote in a caption on February 7, including a screenshot of Lisa’s interview with Us Weekly.
Then, along with another screenshot, which featured Lisa saying that James and Ally were “both being ridiculous and arguing” before his arrest, and noting that Ally wanted to “teach him a lesson” and now “regrets” how much the incident blew up, Kristen shared another message with her fans and followers.
“I will never, ever be okay with this constant abuse-enabling behavior. To have the audacity to dumb down not only facts, but also feelings, makes me sick to my stomach,” Kristen declared.
“To every woman who is a survivor of DV and wasn’t believed or supported, I am so sorry,” she added.
As Pump Rules fans well know, Kristen dated James years ago. And during their relationship, they were believed to have gotten physical with one another.
In addition to speaking out against Lisa, Kristen was also vocal about James’ arrest when it occurred, sharing a screenshot of an article about his arrest and writing, “Finally.”
She then described the incident as “triggering” on her podcast, signaling her troubled past with her now-sober ex.
“It is also very heavy to think about the too many moments that I lived, and it is all very triggering … I have battled with speaking out to help with my healing, but then also needing a break to maintain my peace,” she shared. “For just now, I want to say, James Kennedy, domestic abuse is not a challenging moment. Okay. And to Ally, I hope that you have all of the support that you deserve.”
The Valley season two is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in the coming months.
