Tristan Tate Goes Viral: Calls Out James Kennedy for Deleting Photo Post
In a dramatic twist worthy of reality television, Tristan Tate has lashed out at “Vanderpump Rules” star James Kennedy for scrubbing a photo of the two from his social media after facing online backlash. The Tate brothers, who recently made headlines for their controversial legal troubles in Romania—where they faced serious charges including forming a criminal gang and rape—are now stirring the pot stateside. Tristan, taking to social media, expressed his disbelief over Kennedy’s quick backtrack, claiming that the DJ had been all too eager to cozy up to him during their Vegas encounter, even going so far as to call Tristan a “hero.” However, Kennedy has since claimed ignorance about the Tate brothers’ contentious past, stating he was “unfamiliar with their content and the allegations against them,” and expressed regret for posting the now-deleted photo.
Tristan’s biting retort—”He’s just a p***y who can’t handle DMs from woke r******”—highlights the tension between the two, especially as it comes on the heels of the Tate brothers’ release from Romanian custody. After a lengthy legal ordeal, a court decision allowed them to leave Romania, citing prosecutorial irregularities, and they have since made their way to the United States, with stops in Florida and Las Vegas. This controversial release has only intensified discussions about their public persona and the allegations that have shadowed them.
The fallout of this incident is particularly interesting in the context of celebrity culture, where social media can amplify the consequences of such interactions. Kennedy’s attempt to distance himself from the Tates reflects a broader trend where public figures are increasingly cautious about their associations, especially in the age of cancel culture. As Tristan continues to defend his reputation and status, it remains to be seen how this drama will evolve and whether it will prompt a broader discussion on accountability within the entertainment industry.
