James Talks Uber Lie On 'Pump Rules: After Show'

by Kristie Rohwedder

Don't worry, y'all. The dude definitely knew he was on camera. On this Friday’s episode of Vanderpump Rules: After Show , James Kennedy sits down with hosts Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard to discuss The Talking Head Of The Week. Why yes, as a matter of fact I am referring to the “we were definitely boning” admission that happened on Monday night’s Vanderpump Rules . A quick recap: In the episode, then-girlfriend Kristen Doute accuses James of sleeping with someone else. James denies it. But in a talking head, James confesses to doing the deed with another woman. Meanwhile, Kristen accepts James' apology. Raise your hand if you are over that incredibly grim scene. I assume a whopping total of zero people are raising their hands right now.

So why did the young disc jockey decide to come clean in that talking head? “It was more of a time, a time and a lie thing,” James tells Julie and Brandy in the clip below. “I knew that I’d eventually be getting called out for this. But by that time, I was pretty much over it.”

When asked if he has any feelings about fudging the truth, James says he does... to an extent:

Of course. Nobody likes to lie. I don’t classify myself as a liar. If I’ve got a girl that treats me right, loves me unconditionally, and never lies to me, you can expect the same thing back from me. But that’s not what I was getting from Kristen, so in that specific moment, I didn’t feel bad.

Eesh. I am no relationship expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am going to go out on a limb and say it is probably for the best Kristen and James went their separate ways back in September.
