Vanderpump Rules' James Kennedy breaks silence after domestic violence arrest and 'split' from Ally Lewber

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of celebrity scandals and personal struggles. The recent arrest of James Kennedy for domestic violence is a sad reminder of the darker side of fame.

In a turn of events, a week after being taken into custody over allegations of domestic violence, James Kennedy from the hit TV show Vanderpump Rules finally speaks up about the incident.

32-year-old celebrity from the UK, who recently appeared to be going through a change as his partner Ally Lewber seems to have left their shared residence, posted on Instagram: “I am dedicated to bringing about substantial improvements in my existence.

‘I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth and being present for my loved ones.

Overcoming tough times isn’t a walk in the park, but I’m resolute about learning, evolving, and pushing ahead, thanks to the wonderful network that stands by my side.

On Tuesday, December 11, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the Burbank Police Department was dispatched to Kennedy’s home due to a reported verbal dispute between a man and a woman.

At this time, there has been no confirmation Lewber was the reported victim.

The arrest occurred after Kennedy and Ally attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas bash together.

According to TMZ, the Burbank Police Daily Arrest Log indicates that an officer interacted with Kennedy and a woman at a house on the same evening following a 9-1-1 call.

At that location, an unnamed woman informed authorities that her boyfriend had driven her there and then violently pushed her onto the ground.

At the incident site, police reported that there appeared to be no apparent injuries on the person claimed to be the victim. However, they still apprehended Kennedy due to accusations of a minor offense related to domestic battery involving a partner or housemate.

Law enforcement officials were first called to the home due to allegations that Kennedy was involved in a heated dispute with a woman, during which he is said to have grabbed her.

On Saturday, Lewber, aged 28 (in a relationship with Kennedy since 2022), shared his thoughts about his recent arrest through a post on Kennedy’s Instagram Stories.

She wrote, ‘I’m grateful to all who have expressed kindness and support, as well as those who have taken the time to check on me.’

I’m doing well, thanks, and currently prioritizing some personal time. I truly value your understanding and consideration for my space during this period.

Kennedy was released after paying a $20,000 bail, according to police records. 

As a lifestyle expert, I would rephrase it like this: In reference to the recent event, I, Kennedy, am hopeful that the city’s legal team will see, upon thorough examination, that no injuries were sustained and therefore choose not to press formal charges.

A source told People: ‘James was acting super aggressive all night long.’

According to the source, his behavior was quite unpredictable, constantly dashing to and from the bar while bumping into people. It seemed like he was under the influence, as he spent most of the night on his own but came across as agitated and impolite when interacting with others.

Kennedy has been dating Lewber since 2022, following the end of his engagement to Rachel Leviss. 

At the gathering, Ally posted a video of herself interpreting Kathy Hilton’s astrological chart. However, James wasn’t featured in the clip. In her caption, she wrote, “Everyone, Kathy Hilton invited me to interpret her chart for her.

On Tuesday, Ally shared hosting duties for the pre-New Year’s Eve party held in Los Angeles, however, Kennedy did not make an appearance at the event.

Previously, there had been rumors that Ally denied an incident involving her and Kennedy as a ‘physical fight’ at the 2022 MTV Movie Awards after-party.

‘That never happened. There was no physical altercation,’ she said on Scheana Shay’s podcast Scheananigans. 

‘Yes, we were in the car together. I thought we were having fun. We were having fun. But then James and I did get into an argument, but there was no physical assault,’ she said.

Kristen Doute, who had a relationship with Kennedy from 2014 to 2015, posted a comment on Instagram in response to the recent arrest. Her statement was concise: ‘At last,’ she wrote alongside a shared news article.

Doute has previously indicated her ex was abusive.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that yours truly, Lisa Vanderpump, is making a comeback! The forthcoming season is set to kick off its production next year. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on our fresh cast and the official premiere date as we move along.

In her announcement, Lisa expressed that the past 12 years of filming were an incredible journey filled with laughter, tears, and a multitude of emotions. She can’t thank enough those who allowed her into their lives.

She expressed her affection for everyone, just as one work period ends and another begins in the restaurant industry. Here’s to the upcoming group who will continue the legacy of Vanderpump Rules, she concluded with a toast.

Furthermore, the program plans to honor the last ten years of heartaches, strained friendships, and controversies through a reflective special episode, summarizing the key events from its first 11 seasons, according to the announcement.

After the news, Kennedy broke his silence on the matter and admitted he was fighting back tears.
