Why did James Kennedy’s father and George Michael stop talking? Last Monday Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy mentioned that his father was very close to singer 52-year-old George Michael and that the pop star was actually his Godfather. But does this mean that James and his family are still close to the pop icon?
Sadly the answer is no. George is no longer speaking to his childhood friend and James’ father 53-year-old Andros Georgiou. In fact the two have severed ties as the result of some things that Andros said publicly about George.
If you recall infamous lewd public restroom act arrest in 1998, that is when the relationship took a turn for the worse.
Then in February of 2006 he was arrested after being found slumped behind the wheel of his Mercedes near Hyde Park in London. Police found sex toys, bondage gear, and pot when they searched the car. The series of events prompted Andros to be very concerned about his close friend and to speak publicly about his concerns. The feud between the two was all over the UK media.
In fact James’ mother Jackie Georgiou told The Sun of Britain in 2012,
“He was smoking crack. Before he went away, he got to the point where he would be shaking, saying, ‘I need it,’” “There were parties where he was taking drugs and collapsing and being picked up off the floor,”
“Waking up in vomit, horrible things. He was so thin, so ill.” “It’s crack, it’s marijuana, it’s drink, it’s coke. It was pretty dark and things were getting darker. He was going to end up locked up or dead. I’m petrified he will die.”
“On special occasions he’d take ecstasy and start break dancing. At first he hated cocaine. Then he got deeper and deeper into the harder stuff. It was a gradual demise.
She also claimed that oddly it was some comments that Andros made about Spice Girl Geri Halliwell that pushed him over the edge.
