Rachel Leviss, former star of the reality TV show Vanderpump Rules, recently spoke out against Lisa Vanderpump for what she called "hypocrisy" and "victim blaming." In a discussion on her Rachel Goes Rogue podcast, Leviss expressed her disappointment in how Vanderpump handled the situation regarding the scandal involving her and Tom Sandoval.
Leviss was particularly upset that Lisa Vanderpump dismissed her lawsuit as "ridiculous" and implied that she was at fault for sending a sensitive video to her best friend’s boyfriend. Leviss emphasized that this video was recorded without her consent and was distributed illegally. She argued that Vanderpump’s comments were a form of "victim blaming," which made her feel "very, very uncomfortable." She reaffirmed that she was fighting for justice and speaking up for others who have experienced similar situations.
Additionally, Leviss commented on the recent arrest of James Kennedy, her former fiancé, who was taken into custody on suspicion of domestic violence. The arrest shocked Vanderpump Rules fans, and Leviss took to Instagram to reflect on her past experiences. She admitted that she used to convince herself that Kennedy’s abusive behavior was just a "misunderstanding." However, looking back, she now feels "happy and vindicated" but also "sad and broken" when thinking about her past relationship with him.
As for Ally Lewber, Kennedy’s current girlfriend, she reassured friends and fans that she was "safe" and "doing okay" following the incident. Meanwhile, Vanderpump Rules cast member Lala Kent revealed that she has not spoken to Kennedy since his arrest but did reach out to Lewber to check on her well-being.
These developments have sparked heated debates within the Vanderpump Rules fan community, particularly concerning how the show’s stars handle personal scandals and serious accusations like domestic violence. Many believe that Lisa Vanderpump, as a prominent figure on the show, should approach these issues with more fairness and empathy rather than making comments that seem to criticize Leviss. Meanwhile, James Kennedy’s case continues to unfold, with fans eager to see the outcome of the investigation and how those involved will respond to the situation.
