The feud doesn’t stop.
Kristen Doute blasted Lisa Vanderpump as “diabolical” for “enabling” James Kennedy’s abusive behavior after he was arrested for domestic violence.
On Thursday, Vanderpump spoke to Us Weekly, claiming she had talked to Kennedy and his now-ex-girlfriend Ally Lewber “at great length” about their alleged altercation.
Lewber allegedly told Vanderpump “categorically [that] he didn’t hurt her.”
“He never hurts her. They were both drinking,” Vanderpump, 64, claimed to the outlet before detailing what allegedly really happened.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, who called herself a “matriarch figure” to Kennedy in the interview, claimed the former couple were “both being ridiculous and arguing,” which resulted in a neighbor calling the police.
“[Lewber] basically said, ‘Oh yes, take him away. It’ll teach him a lesson,’” Vanderpump claimed to the outlet. “But no, he didn’t hurt her categorically. … She regrets what happened with how this blew up.”
After reading the article, Doute took to her Instagram Story on Friday to blast her former “Vanderpump Rules” boss.
While sharing the social media post promoting the story, Doute wrote, “absolutely and disgustingly diabolical.”
“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,” she continued in a second Story.
“to every woman who is a survivor of DV and wasn’t believed or supported, I’m so sorry,” Doute — who is currently expecting her first baby with fiancé Luke Broderick — concluded her post.
Since dating Kennedy for just five months in 2015, Doute has been extremely outspoken about the alleged abuse she suffered from the DJ.
After Bravo fans saw them get into screaming matches on “Pump Rules,” Doute claimed Kennedy only used her to get on the show.
“James did his homework. He knew exactly what to do to get me,” she told Bravo’s “The Daily Dish” in 2015.
“He knew when to swoop in — when I wasn’t really friends with anyone yet. [He also knew] basically don’t act like Tom [Sandoval] and don’t be an ass, and then I’m going to like him,” the 41-year-old continued.
“And he also knows that I fix little, broken souls. He just did his homework and he knew exactly what he was doing. And he played me right until the point that he got through one whole season, became a primary and then dropped me.”
Seven years later, Doute also claimed Kennedy, 33, had been physically abusive toward her during their short-lived relationship.
In December 2024, the England native was arrested after allegedly getting into a heated argument with Lewber, 28.
At the time, an eyewitness claimed the Bravo star grabbed Lewber and threw her to the ground. However, no injuries were visible on her when officers arrived.
A week after his arrest, Lewber was seen moving her things out of their shared home with the astrologer confirming they had gone their separate ways in late January.
Referencing Kennedy not facing any charges, she said in an Instagram Story, “I am happy that prosecutors decided not to file against James, as I never desired criminal charges.
“We had an argument outside of his home related to him drinking again, however, I was not physically hurt,” she claimed before expressing how “shocked” and “disheartened” she was with how the media “portrayed” Kennedy’s arrest.
“We are no longer together, but I’ll always support James and wish him the best with his sobriety and healing. Thank you for your understanding,” she concluded.
As for Kennedy, he vowed to continue focusing on his sobriety after his arrest. The former couple had been dating for two years before their split.
