Nick Viall blasts Lisa Vanderpump’s ‘embarrassing’ silence over James Kennedy’s arrest - lulu

   

Nick Viall is calling out Lisa Vanderpump’s reaction — or lack thereof — to James Kennedy’s domestic violence arrest.

In addition to slamming the DJ in Tuesday’s episode of his “Viall Files” podcast, the Bachelor Nation member blasted the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum’s “embarrassing” silence.

Viall, 44, encouraged Vanderpump, 64, to speak up, as she was previously “a huge supporter” of Kennedy, 32, and had “his back.”

Vanderpump’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Kennedy was taken into custody last week after an alleged altercation with his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, following Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party.

He was released on $20,000 bail.

“F–k that guy,” Viall said.nickviall/TikTok

Viall’s wife, Natalie Joy, told listeners that Kennedy allegedly “lifted [Lewber] up and threw her to the ground,” according to the arrest log.

“I don’t have any patience for any guy that lays hands on a woman, period, whatsoever,” the former “Bachelor” chimed in. “F–k that guy. … I hope he never works again.”

Joy, 26, noted that the Bravolebrity “lost his residency in Vegas” after the incident.

Kennedy broke his silence Tuesday, writing via Instagram that he is “committed to making meaningful changes” in his life.

The “Vanderpump Rules” alum added, “I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones. Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”

Lewber, for her part, told her followers over the weekend that she is “OK and taking time” to herself.

She was photographed moving her belongings out of her and Kennedy’s San Fernando Valley, Calif., home Sunday with his help.

A source told Page Six that the astrologer, who went public with her and Kennedy’s romance in 2022, has been telling friends that she is safe.

Vanderpump isn’t the only cast member who hasn’t spoken out about Kennedy’s arrest, with Bravo fans having yet to hear from Lala Kent, Scheana Shay and more co-stars.

Raquel Leviss, who was engaged to Kennedy in 2021, has called his legal troubles “not surprising.”

Kristen Doute also dated Kennedy in the past and celebrated his arrest via Instagram by writing, “Finally.”
