AceShowbiz - James Kennedy's recent arrest for alleged domestic violence has thrown his personal life into the spotlight. The 32-year-old DJ and reality TV star was detained on the night of December 10 in Burbank, California, after an unnamed woman reported that "her boyfriend lifted her up and threw her to the ground," as per police records. Shortly after the arrest, Kennedy was released on a $20,000 bond.
Following the incident, Kennedy's girlfriend Ally Lewber, whom he's been dating since January 2022, broke her silence with a poignant message to their fans. She shared on Instagram Stories, "Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me. I'm okay and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time."
The arrest has sparked a wave of reactions, including from Kennedy's legal team, who issued a statement saying, "We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James. We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city's attorneys will decide not to file formal charges."
It's not the first time Kennedy and Lewber became a subject of scrutiny due to their tumultuous relationship. However, Lewber previously insisted that he had never "physically hurt" or "assaulted" her and attributed past conflicts to their drinking habits. "He's working on himself. I know in the past that he has anger issues," she mentioned, adding that sobriety has played a key role in his personal growth.
Meanwhile, Kennedy praised their relationship and credited a break from Bravo's show with helping them to grow closer, "We've been the best that we've ever been. And I think it probably has to do with the fact that we haven't been filming in a while."
Adding to the drama, Kristen Doute, Kennedy's ex-girlfriend, expressed her reaction to the incident on social media with a one-word post, "FINALLY," hinting at a fraught history. This statement follows the narrative of past allegations of abusive behavior towards Doute and another ex, Rachel "Raquel" Leviss.
On the day following the alleged incident, Lewber was spotted hosting a holiday event for the fashion brand Windsor, seemingly in good spirits.
The controversy comes amid significant changes, as Bravo TV announced a cast shakeup for the upcoming 12th season of "Vanderpump Rules", leaving fans curious about the future dynamics on the show.
As the investigation continues, only time will tell the full impact of these events on James Kennedy's career and personal life.
