James Kennedy is not holding back when it comes to ‘Scandoval’ and all of the details behind it. The Vanderpump Rules DJ appeared on WWHL Wednesday night. This was the first time he has been in the clubhouse since news of the affair had broken. So, when did he start to get an inkling and where was he when the news broke? Read on for more details.

James Kennedy Doesn’t Hold Back On ‘Scandoval,’ When He Knew

The clues have been dropping over the last few episodes of Vanderpump Rules about ‘Scandoval.’ It seems that the cast was starting to catch on that something was going on between Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval. However, when did James Kennedy start to see something was off? When he appeared on WWHL Wednesday night, he opened up about a lot. For starters, he admitted that Raquel was always a big fan of Sandoval’s dating back to when he proposed in Season 9.

Tom Sandoval helped James Kennedy plan a lavish proposal after Kennedy and Leviss had been dating for over five years. Yet, James maintained that the only thing that Sandoval really helped to pay for was the fireworks. It appeared that the two split the 25K proposal but that was actually not the case. As for when James found out, he learned the night that Ariana Madix did. It was the same night that Raquel and Scheana Shay appeared on WWHL. Apparently, Ariana texted James in the middle of the night but he did not see it until the morning.

He claims that he saw just the name “Tom” so he asked her which one and she replied it was her Tom. Admittedly, James Kennedy was shocked as was everyone else. He then went on to call/text everyone in their circle, even Scheana who said that she blocked Raquel. However, he does think that Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss will last. At this point, they should just be together, especially if they can weather this storm and all that went on.

Where Is James Now?

James Kennedy is doing great, he says. His mother, Jackie was in the audience of WWHL and she was asked how she felt when the engagement was called off between her son and Raquel. She admitted that she was very happy. When she appeared on Vanderpump Rules, she shared that she never really liked how Raquel Leviss met James. She believed that she had sought him out and was really just a fangirl. This has been a common thought among many and, now with her seeing Tom Sandoval, it is proving to be true.

Do you think that James Kennedy dodged a huge bullet by getting away from Raquel? More so, do you think he is right that she and Tom will make it the long haul? Let us know and watch Vanderpump Rules Wednesdays on Bravo.
