James Kennedy Arrested for Domestic Violence After Kathy Hilton’s Christmas Party: Details on the Incident and Ally Lewber’s Response.

James Kennedy, 32, from Vanderpump Rules (VPR) has found himself in the spotlight once again, but this time for a more troubling reason. While attending Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party in Los Angeles on December 10, 2023, Kennedy was allegedly involved in a domestic violence incident that led to his arrest just days later. The arrest came after a dispute between Kennedy and a woman, with sources revealing erratic behavior during the night.

James Kennedy, a star of Vanderpump Rules, made headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. The 32-year-old reality TV personality was allegedly involved in a domestic violence incident following a chaotic scene at Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party on December 10, 2023. Despite appearing to enjoy the event with his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, Kennedy’s behavior later became erratic, leading to a police response and his subsequent arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence. Here’s a breakdown of the incident, Kennedy’s behavior that night, and the aftermath of the arrest, including reactions from former co-stars and allegations from his relationship with Lewber.

Spotted in High Spirits at Kathy Hilton’s Christmas Party

Despite the serious allegations, Kennedy, 32, seemed to be enjoying himself during the early part of the evening. According to an observer, Kennedy and his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, were spotted cuddling, taking photos, and appearing to be in good spirits at the event.

“James and Ally were cuddling together and taking photos. He seemed like he was in a good headspace and was dancing, singing, and having fun,” a source shared. However, as the night progressed, Kennedy’s behavior became increasingly erratic.

Kennedy’s Erratic Behavior and Scene at the Party

At one point, a second source described a chaotic scene as Kennedy was spotted “running” around the party, creating a commotion. “His guy friend was chasing him from Kathy’s basement all the way throughout Kathy’s backyard, and James looked mad while running away. The guy who was chasing him almost fell into the pool and dropped a lantern in the pool causing a huge scene. Everyone was wondering what was going on,” the insider reported.

Further accounts from partygoers painted Kennedy as “in a mood” even before the party started. According to a source, Kennedy was seen “on the red carpet prior to the event” appearing agitated, choosing to “dash inside the party” rather than participate in interviews.

The Arrest and Domestic Violence Allegations

Just days after the party, on December 12, Burbank police responded to a domestic dispute call. Authorities arrived at the scene and classified the situation as “domestic violence,” resulting in Kennedy’s arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence. He was later released on bail, and the charges are still awaiting resolution.

Witnesses claim that Kennedy and a woman, reportedly Lewber, were involved in a heated argument before Kennedy allegedly grabbed her. However, responding officers did not find any visible injuries from the reported incident. It remains unclear if Lewber was the woman involved.

Kristen Doute’s Social Media Response

As the news of Kennedy’s arrest broke, Kristen Doute, a former Vanderpump Rules co-star, shared her thoughts on social media. “FINALLY,” Doute wrote on her Instagram Story, sharing an article about the arrest. Kennedy and Doute had an on-and-off relationship that began in 2014, so her reaction sparked curiosity among fans.

Ally Lewber Denies Past Allegations of Physical Altercation

This isn’t the first time allegations about Kennedy’s behavior have surfaced. Earlier in 2023, Lewber responded to rumors about a possible physical altercation between the couple. These rumors came to light after former co-star Scheana Shay recalled a tense car ride to an afterparty. While Kennedy was reportedly intoxicated, Lewber dismissed claims that he had physically harmed or attacked her.

“That’s crazy to me that that’s the most asked question for me. That makes me really sad, because no, I’m good. That never happened. There was no physical altercation,” Lewber explained. “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. I was not bleeding, and they didn’t have to get out of the car and separate us. So that didn’t happen. That’s all I’ll say on that.”

For now, fans are left wondering how this latest incident may impact his future on Vanderpump Rules and his personal life with Lewber.

James Kennedy and Ally Lewber began dating in 2022, and their relationship became public around the same time James was still part of the Vanderpump Rules cast.
