Was James Kennedy and Kristen Doute’s “Darkest Hour”?

James Kennedy and Kristen Doute And Hello and welcome to The Big Shot podcast. I’m Lisa and I am an Australian journalist who reports on true crime and controversy.

Plus, I am also a Vanderpump Rules super fan.

And today I have so much to tell you, dear listener. But before we start please make sure you follow this podcast and please give it a review.

James Kennedy and Kristen Doute

So on today’s episode, we need to talk about James Kennedy & whether he was part of Kristen Doute’s so-called darkest hour. Are these two subjects linked?

 

And as always this podcast discusses some difficult subjects, so please take care while listening.

Because I don’t know about you but I have to constantly remind myself that James is deeply problematic. On one hand, he has all the funny zingers & how can we forget, he called Sandoval a worm with a moustache. Hilarious.

James Kennedy and Kristen Doute’s “Darkest Hour”?

Now we all know for certain that DJ James Kennedy was unpredictable since he bounced on to the show as a SUR busboy. 

The main concerns revolve around his behavior, which has been characterized as arrogant, disrespectful, and often fueled by excessive alcohol consumption. 

His confrontational and argumentative nature led to numerous conflicts with fellow cast members on Vanderpump Rules. Jax, Katie, Brittany, Logan, Lala, LVP, her son Max. You get the point. 

And as we know, he has been seen engaging in name-calling, body-shaming, and using insensitive language around women.

But when does this behavior go too far? Is it time’s up for the man behind See You Next Tuesday?

In Season 4 ep 7, James was engaged in a torturous relationship with Kristen that turns into a long-term grudge.

And this is what we are here today to discuss James Kennedy’s alleged treatment of Kristen Doute.

Now stay with me because I have a big reveal here. In her book, He’s Driving You Crazy, she opens up about her darkest hour, recounting the emotional and physical torment she endured at the hands of someone she once saw as a "fun rebound fling."

James Kennedy and Kristen Doute’s “Darkest Hour”?

 

In a chapter titled "My Darkest Hour," she sheds light on the alarming progression from verbal abuse to physical violence.

The toxic cycle continued, with a series of breakups and makeups, leaving Kristen trapped in a dangerous and unpredictable situation. But it was when that line was crossed, when he laid his hands on her, that Kristen realized she had reached a pivotal moment of clarity.

"Shoving, pushing, and physical restraint," she confesses, her words heavy with the weight of her experiences. "I finally hit that breaking point. It was then that I knew I had to end things for good."

In her book launched 2018, He’s Making You Crazy, Kristen doesn’t reveal the identity of the man featured in her My Darkness chapter. But the story comes up after Robbing the Cradle.I wonder if you have an opinion.

“I was afraid to be alone with him”

“He Weaseled his way into my life...Loud, I’ll mannered and couldn’t have a glass of wine without it turning in ww3.”

In the Episode where James DJs at Scheana’s generations party gulping fireball, Peter looks visibly repulsed.  James says Kristen makes me insecure and “makes” him drink.

At the time, Kristen while watching James chug a bottle of fireball said: “this is how it always goes with James Jekyll and fucking Hyde. Is this healthy for me.”

James admits on VPR they broke up 20 times a day. “Drunk James Zero to 4000 excuse for being a dick.”

In a therapy session featured on the show, the DJ tells her he is uncomfortable about her sexual past.  That means Tom and Jax.

A violent or aggressive response to an abusive partner is called reactive abuse. The victim’s reaction does not turn them into an abuser. So, what is really going on? 

In 2021, Raquel Leviss claims that her fiance James Kennedy accidentally bumped her nose when he kissed her. But Vanderpump Rules fans aren’t convinced.

They’re aware that the Brit has a bad temper. One episode in 2021, even showed a montage of his worst moments with his past and present partners.

The model shocked fans when she admitted that she got a nose job. She explained that her nose was left bent after it happened. Raquel explained that James tried to kiss her quickly on the lips, but he bumped her nose. She’s not happy with the way her nose looks and wants to go back under the knife.

Raquel Leviss claims James Kennedy “innocently bumped” her nose.

According to the SUR DJ, it was an innocent accident. On the latest episode of Pump Rules, Raquel Leviss told Lisa Vanderpump that her nose bends to the left.

It happened when her man tried to kiss her quickly, However, Raquel never really explained how that happened.

Well it could’ve been just a peck on the lips. Still, some don’t understand how the two would bump noses.

Vanderpump suggested that Raquel should have a consultation with her friend and Botched star Dr. Paul Nassif.

Raquel admitted that her initial story about what happened wasn’t the truth.

“There’s something I want to tell you… A little bit more to the story. I didn’t want to tell anybody… James Kennedy bumped my nose one week after I got the cast off,” Raquel Leviss nervously said.
