James Kennedy is Databec Exchangequestioning Ariana Madix's quick rebound post-Scandoval.
In E! News' exclusive sneak peek at part one of Vanderpump Rules' season 11 reunion, host Andy Cohen asks the DJ why he thinks he got more scrutiny for quickly moving on from Rachel "Raquel" Leviss with current girlfriend Ally Lewber than Madix received for getting into a relationship with Daniel Wai right after her breakup from Tom Sandoval last year.
"Because, when that breakup happened, everyone chose her side instead of my side," Kennedy says in the preview for the May 14 episode, referencing Leviss. "She was the it girl and me and Ally were the people that were like still around and here. 'How are ya?' Which I'm fine with, I really don't give a s--t. It is what it was and I'm over it."
However, Kennedy goes on to call out the timeline of Madix and Wai's romance in the wake of Sandoval and Leviss' cheating scandal.
"But the question was why do you think Ariana had an easier time getting with Dan 10 days after," he continues. "I met Ally two months after the whole breakup."
Madix denies Kennedy's claim, replying, "I didn't get with him 10 days later," before clarifying that it was actually several months after her breakup from the TomTom co-owner.
Still, Kennedy insists both Madix and Sandoval distanced themselves from him in support of Leviss after they called off their engagement in 2021.
"Obviously it was harder for me to even try and be friends with you guys at that point," the 32-year-old argues. "But I got over it. I never doubted Ally and I and I knew, through time, ya'll are gonna love Ally."
Brock Davies even applauds Kennedy for how he's matured since starting his relationship with Lewber.
"You've done so much growth that we've all seen," Davies shares, "and so I'd like to apologize for making you feel like that."
Kennedy, touched by his costar's comment, replies, "Obviously I was hurt from it. Brock and I have gone miles. He's been showing so much support."
