Ally Lewber's Response to James Kennedy's Arrest
In an unexpected turn of events, Ally Lewber, girlfriend of reality star James Kennedy, has opened up about the domestic violence arrest of her partner for the first time. Taking to her Instagram Story, the 28-year-old astrologer expressed her gratitude to those who have shown their support during this turbulent time. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” she wrote. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy.”
Details Surrounding the Arrest
Kennedy, known for his role on "Vanderpump Rules," was involved in a bizarre scene at a holiday party hosted by Kathy Hilton shortly before his arrest. Witnesses described the 32-year-old DJ as having a meltdown, with one observer noting that he “sped across the carpet like he was trying to avoid everyone.” Additionally, fellow celebrity Nick Viall recounted on his podcast how Kennedy was “barking orders” at a friend, raising eyebrows about his behavior that night.
The situation escalated later that evening when Burbank police responded to reports of an argument. Eyewitnesses claimed they saw Kennedy allegedly grab Lewber during their dispute. Shockingly, reports indicated that he lifted her and threw her to the ground, although responding officers did not observe any visible injuries.
Aftermath and Reactions
Following the incident, Kennedy was booked and later released on $20,000 bail. His attorneys have since stated they are conducting their own investigation and hope that the city attorney will refrain from filing formal charges, especially given the lack of reported injuries.
In the days following the arrest, Lewber was seen in high spirits at a Windsor influencer event she co-hosted, leading to reports that she is “doing OK” and safe. A source confirmed she is not in any danger with Kennedy, calming concerns about her well-being.
Responses from Kennedy's Ex-Girlfriends
Meanwhile, two of Kennedy's ex-girlfriends have reacted to the news, highlighting a pattern of troubling behavior. Former co-star Kristen Doute shared an ambiguous post with the word “Finally” in relation to Kennedy's arrest, signaling a possible relief or acknowledgment of past issues. Similarly, attorneys for Raquel Leviss, who was briefly engaged to Kennedy, indicated that his recent arrest was “not surprising,” citing a history of erratic behavior detailed in Leviss's ongoing lawsuit against him for revenge porn.
Leviss's legal complaint alleges that Kennedy struggles with violence and substance abuse, a narrative that has troubled those close to him for years. After breaking up with Leviss in 2021, Kennedy began dating Lewber in 2022, but this new chapter has now been marred by his reported outburst behaviors.
The Future for Lewber and Kennedy
As Lewber takes the time she needs, fans and followers are left wondering what the future holds for both her and Kennedy amidst the unfolding drama.
