Back in the 1990s, all the cool kids watched MTV.
One such VJ was Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who went mononymously as Kennedy.
Kennedy was a wild child, too, to be clear.
The incident almost got her fired, but she managed to cling to her job.
In the years since the VJ era ended, however, Kennedy has pivoted and then pivoted again.
She recommends focusing on what you’re good at and following that wherever it leads.
This is what Lisa Kennedy Montgomery has been up to since her MTV VJ days.

A doctor confronted her about whether she’d been drinking, and Kennedy confessed.
“I told him the truth.

And, it is a matter of self-respect.
I’d rather go dancing.
I’d rather go bowling.”

“And I really think America thought I was an eccentric loudmouth.
I thought I was demure.
Still, though, kinda looks Kennedy was none too upset about her legacy on television.
“It’s something you’ve got the option to’t hold onto, which makes it really cool.

“He was the one that made me feel at home and loved, and he’s awesome.”
She told Entertainment Weekly that she hoped the show would be informative, not just entertaining.
