James Kennedy shares his thoughts on the villain label
As per Inquisitr, DJ James Kennedy shared his thoughts about being called a villain. He made his big debut during Season 5 of Vanderpump Rules. At the time, he had no idea that people wouldn’t like him. He didn’t feel like he was the villain of the show. The label shocked him.
“I didn’t ever think of myself as a villain,” James explained to Katie. “I was getting confused when I started hearing that.”
He finds the villain label “interesting,” but he doesn’t agree with it. He didn’t set out to become one. The White Kanye doesn’t believe that “villains” and “heroes” exist in the reality TV world.

“I don’t even like to think of it as heroes and villains because there is no such thing in this world of reality television.”
The DJ doesn’t believe there are good people and bad people on reality TV because everyone is simply sharing their stories. When he first heard the word, he associated it with “the Joker or the Green Goblin.” He explained that those characters want to hurt people. He never intended to hurt anyone. But he did admit that he made mistakes.
“I did things that were completely wrong,” James said.
He took the criticism and decided to change for the better.
