Tristan Tate is calling out James Kennedy for suggesting he didn’t know who he and his brother, Andrew Tate, were when they posed together for a photo over the weekend in Las Vegas.
After the 33-year-old Vanderpump Rules star deleted his Instagram image of the three of them and offered an apology, stating that he was “unfamiliar with their content and the allegations against them,” Tristan, 36, denied his claims, saying that James “begged” for the photo and knew “exactly” who he was.
“This guy begged the Tate brothers for a picture like a fan just to post this right after,” a Tate Brothers fan page wrote on X on March 9, along with a screenshot of the photo James took and one of his apology.
In his response to the message, Tristan said James “begged and kissed [his] a** for 30 minutes straight and called [him] a hero.”
“He knew EXACTLY who I was and what content I made,” Tristan shared. “He’s just a p*ssy who can’t handle DMs from woke retards … F*ck this guy.”
After James shared his photo with the Tate brothers on Instagram, he was labeled “disgusting” by fans who couldn’t believe he would pose with men who’ve been accused of sexual assault and human trafficking. After all, James was arrested in December 2024 for allegedly assaulting his then-girlfriend, Ally Lewber, 29.
Amid the backlash, James removed the image from his page and offered a statement on his Instagram Story.
“I regret posting a photo with the Tate brothers at an event last night. I was unfamiliar with their content and the allegations against them. I only knew them as podcasters that had posted a viral clip about Vanderpump,” he stated. “I have since educated myself and condemn their beliefs. I am sorry to all that I offended.”
In addition to being shaded by fans, James was unfollowed by former co-star Ariana Madix, 39.
