On December 3 it was revealed that the new season of Vanderpump Rules would have an entirely new cast; James had been with the show for 10 seasons.

Ally later told Us Weekly that James was “grieving” the decision by Bravo.

“I think he was just like, ‘Wow, that was crazy.’ It was just an insane part of his life and such an important part of his life. I think he’s so proud — I know he’s so proud— of where he’s at now compared to where he started the show so, I think it’s just gratitude and looking back and going, ‘Holy [expletive]. We just did that, and now we can move on.'”
