James Kennedy has issued a formal apology for hanging out with the controversial Tate brothers at Power Slap 12, which was held at Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ Cobalt Ballroom last Friday.
The 31-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum – who was spotted ordering drinks from the free VIP bar – was all smiles as he chatted up Andrew and Tristan during the sold out, slap-fighting promotional event.
The former kickboxers – aged 38 and 36 – have denied all wrong-doing involved in their six legal investigations into sexual assault and human trafficking (four criminal and two civil) currently pending in Romania, the UK, and Florida.
Hours later, James – whose father is Aegean Records managing director Andros Georgiou and godfather was George Michael – performed an energetic DJ gig at the nearby LIV Nightclub as part of his residency.
‘I regret posting a photo with the Tate brothers at an event last night,’ Kennedy – who boasts 1.4M social media followers – wrote via Instastory on Saturday.
‘I was unfamiliar with their content and the allegations against them. I only knew them as podcasters [who] had posted a viral clip about Vanderpump. I have since educated myself and condemn their beliefs. I am sorry to all that I offended.’

Meanwhile, the British DJ’s ex-girlfriend Ally Lewber is adjusting to her new LA home after moving out of his $1.35M three-bedroom Burbank house following their January 22 split after three years.
‘[My cat] Bodhi really loves his new dog-free home,’ the 29-year-old astrologer wrote via Instastory on Saturday.
‘He was always so scared around Hippie and would hide a lot so it is nice to see him back to his happy self.’

James Kennedy will NOT face charges after domestic violence arrest
Ally (born Alexandra) was ‘happy’ the Burbank City Attorney’s Office decided not to file misdemeanor domestic violence charges against James as she ‘was not physically hurt’ after he allegedly ‘lifted her up and threw her to the ground’ during an argument about his sobriety on December 10.
‘I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life,’ Kennedy wrote via Instastory on December 17.
‘I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones. Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.’
The EDM producer previously hooked up with his Vanderpump Rules co-stars Kristen Mariposa Doute, Lala Kent, and Rachel ‘Raquel’ Leviss.
James first found fame in 2014 as a busboy working at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR during season two of the Emmy-nominated RHOBH spin-off, which he parlayed into his ‘See You Next Tuesday’ DJ sets.
But on November 26, Bravo announced that it was rebooting Vanderpump Rules with an entirely new cast for the 12th season, but it will air an upcoming retrospective special honoring the prior 11 seasons.
Kennedy – who averages 22K monthly listeners on Spotify – is next scheduled to man the decks at the nightclub Soundcheck in Washington, DC on March 29.
