Studying Time: 3 minutes
Provided that James Kennedy was recently accused of domestic violence, this most likely just isn’t an excellent time for him to pose for pics with accused rapists (not that there’s ever an excellent time for such madness).
However over the weekend, the previous Vanderpump Guidelines star did precisely that.
As you’ve doubtless heard by now, MAGA influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were allowed back into the country this week, even supposing they’re at the moment awaiting trial on human trafficking costs in Romania.
Whereas many conservatives have had the nice sense to distance themselves from the Tates, a couple of have welcomed the alleged serial abusers with open arms.
So when Florida launched its personal investigation into the Tates’ alleged prison actions, the brothers hightailed it to Las Vegas, the place they had been feted by such high-profile figures as Dana White, the Hodge twins — and James Kennedy.
The disgraced DJ posed for a selfie with the brothers, however he later deleted it and apologized.
“I remorse posting a photograph with the Tate brothers at an occasion final evening. I used to be unfamiliar with their content material and the allegations in opposition to them. I solely knew them as podcasters [who] had posted a viral clip about Vanderpump,” Kennedy wrote.
“I’ve since educated myself and condemn their beliefs,” he added. “I’m sorry to all that I offended.”
Tristan Tate brutally rejects James Kennedy’s model of occasions
Followers had been skeptical of James’ apology from the beginning (at this level, who doesn’t know the cope with the Tate brothers?), and now, Tristan Tate himself has referred to as Kennedy out as a liar.
“Begged and kissed my ass for half-hour straight and referred to as me a hero. He knew EXACTLY who I used to be and what content material I made,” Tristan tweeted in response to Kennedy’s claims.
“He’s only a p–sy who can’t deal with DMs from woke r–ards. F–okay this man.”
Sure, it seems like James simply realized the arduous means that he selected to align himself with two really horrible human beings.
And now he’ll should cope with the fallout from his choices on two fronts:
His sane followers are livid that he selected to endorse the Tate brothers, and the Tates’ military of supporters are a notoriously loud and hateful bunch, and so they’ve now set their sights on James.
James experiences main backlash following silly put up
“I’ve at all times been a fan, James. I’ve rooted for you because the begin however this would be the final time. The Tate Brothers? Wow,” reads one comment on Kennedy’s newest Instagram put up.
“Posing with the Tate brothers? I hope you develop into out of date,” one other added.
“Now you’ve actually gone and shit the mattress. Hanging out and posting pics of human traffickers?? Bye,” a 3rd chimed in.
“Rooted for you James however Tate Brothers is one other degree. Unfollowed. Educate your self,” a fourth prompt.
You get the concept. It’s unclear why so many individuals had been nonetheless supporting James Kennedy after the various, many different examples of his horrendous conduct.
However evidently lots of them have now seen the sunshine.
