Ally says Lisa Vanderpump tried to persuade her to forgive James
However even if the connection clearly wanted to finish, Ally says that after she moved out on James, she acquired a name from Lisa Vanderpump, who urged her to take him again.
“She was basically like, ‘Ally, like, he needs you … you’re really good together,’” Ally instructed Nick Viall on his “Viall Files” podcast this week (by way of The Ashley’s Actuality Roundup).
She added that Lisa “was trying to convince [her] to stay with [James]” and gaslit her by declaring that each events have been consuming on the evening of Kennedy’s arrest (Ally, not like James, has no historical past of violence and isn’t an alcoholic).

Lisa lastly makes amends

James’ earlier exes, Kristen Doute and Raquel Leviss, have each accused him of abusive conduct. Ally says that James satisfied her throughout their relationship that his exes have been mendacity — however she now sees the sunshine.
“It’s so hard, because James has been in my ear– not now, but for our relationship, obviously– and I’ve heard a lot from the rest of the cast,” she mentioned. “Mutually, that was just a very toxic relationship on both parties, so I don’t really want to say anything, but I will say that– and I have to say this, but also, it’s true– I will always believe women.”
