Andy Cohen Holds Fuming James Kennedy Back From Tom Sandoval At ‘Vanderpump’ Reunion: “You’re a Clown!” 

James Kennedy came in guns blazing to the first part of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 finale. And one heated confrontation with Tom Sandoval — who cheated on his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with Kennedy’s ex-fiancé Raquel Leviss — nearly led to a physical altercation between the two men.

Kennedy was firing shots from the moment Sandoval began to speak — but when the latter refused to acknowledge their once-close friendship, things took a turn for the worse.

“That goes to show how much of a friend you never were. You’ve always been an opportunist,” Kennedy said, to which Sandoval replied, “An opportunist? You fucked Kristen [Doute] to get on the show.”

The comment sent Kennedy over the edge as he jumped out of his seat and got in Sandoval’s face, telling him he was half the disgraced reality star’s age when he first began a relationship with Doute nearly 10 years ago.

Moderator Andy Cohen — who dropped his “cards-ah” in the debacle — broke up the almost-fight as he and a producer sent Kennedy back to his chair on the other side of the room.

However, the DJ was not finished tearing into Sandoval and continued his profanity-filled tirade against the former Sur bartender.

“Fuck you. I don’t want you to stick up for me. You’re a pussy ass bitch. You’re a clown. And you know what? Your band sucks dick,” Kennedy said. “You’re nothing. You’re nobody. You’re a loser. And your fucking bar is going down the drain. You backstabbing hoe!”

When Sandoval threatened to beat him up if he got in his face again, Kennedy went back in for the kill before getting sent offstage for a breather.

“You’re a worm with a mustache!” he yelled as he walked away, leaving many of his co-stars, including Madix, giggling at the odd-ball insult.

Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
