James Kennedy showed an intense reaction during the first reunion of season 10 when the affair controversy broke out in front of all the cast members.

“Pull yourself together, man. You’re not at the Academy Awards. You’re not doing a f-cking audition. Be a man, mate. Pull yourself together. F-cking crocodile tears.”
In addition, James Kennedy mentioned how he treated Tom Sandoval like a brother, and that he never expected him to hide something like this. The reunion set was even disrupted at times when James walked out. Furthermore, James referred to it as a "classic story of betrayal" in an interview with Us Weekly.

Although James and Raquel's relationship ended in December 2021, Page Six reports that the affair started in August 2022 between Raquel and Tom Sandoval.
