So far into Season 9 of 'Vanderpump Rules' Lala Kent has been the main focus as she fights with Scheana Shayy over her fiance Brock Davies' shady past. The Bravo show as per usual has been filled with drama as the friend group keeps locking horns.

Two of the main cast members are Raquel Levissand James Kennedy who are now set to be married after James proposed to her at Palm Springs. Now the two have had a rocky relationship with his anger issues and a heavy drinker. Although he's now two years sober, it seems his angry outbursts still need work.

Episode 7 of 'Vanderpump Rules' is rightly titled 'Anger Mismanagement' as we saw James Kennedy's erratic outbursts in full swing. The now sober alcoholic recently got engaged to long-time girlfriend Racquel Leviss but his behavior in this episode raised some serious red flags. The beginning saw Racquel go to a doctor for getting her botched nose surgery fixed. The whole time James is worried about her looks and implies that it affects him too because if something goes wrong he'll have to still look at her face.

For Racquel, it's something that seriously affects her self-esteem. The latter part of the episode saw the whole gang gathered for a culinary party at Tom and Ariana's house where they end up playing a drinking game. Now we get that not being the only person who's not drinking while the rest are getting their booze on may be annoying, but James started acting out. When Charli and Racquel kept messing up he continually expressed annoyance and ended up calling them dumb. Adding to that the truth or dare game brought up the topic of Racquel's nose job which again saw James act like it will affect him negatively.

The preview for Episode 8 also saw the heavy implication that looks matter to James as Racquel asks him if he would leave her if something went wrong. The whole episode got fans worried about Racquel after seeing the way James treats her. Here are their thoughts on the issue.

One of the tweets read, "Every time James opens his mouth, he makes himself look so much worse. #vanderpumprules #PumpRules". Another fan commented, " The faster Raquel realizes James is with her solely for her looks the easier it will be for her. #PumpRules #vanderpumprules". A viewer said, "If this is how James treats Raquel in public, imagine how he treats her in private #vanderpumprules".

One of the viewers commented, "Watching James and Requel is making me really sad for her #VanderpumpRules". A fan tweeted, "Ahhhhhhh there's the old ugly James. #PumpRules #vanderpumprules". Another fan commented, "Honestly want to build a loving and safe community dedicated to helping Raquel thrive because I’m so angry about the way James treats her #VanderpumpRules".
