James Kennedy, the “Vanderpump Rules” star, was arrested earlier this week on accusations of misdemeanor domestic assault, although his lawyers maintained that no one was hurt.
The 32-year-old reality TV veteran and DJ was taken into custody Tuesday evening in Burbank, Los Angeles County, after police were called to a residence over a fight he had with a woman, according to Burbank police.
After posting bond, he was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. According to the police, the Burbank City Attorney’s office is still reviewing formal charges.
Kennedy’s lawyers, Scott Leemon and Leonard Levine, told NBC News Friday that they are currently investigating the accusations made against James by the Burbank Police Department. We are aware that there were no injuries, and we hope the city’s lawyers will choose not to press formal charges following a thorough investigation.
Kennedy is in a relationship with Ally Lewber, who was on “Vanderpump Rules.” According to social media posts, the two seemed to have gone to Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party on Tuesday night, a cast member of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Other former co-stars who had a romantic relationship with him came forward after his incarceration.
On her Instagram account, Kristen Doute, whom Kennedy dated from 2013 to 2015 in previous seasons of the program, shared TMZ’s report announcing his arrest along with the message, “Finally.”
Kennedy’s ex-fiance, Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, has a violent past, according to his lawyers.
James Kennedy’s recent arrest for domestic abuse is something we are aware of. In a statement to US Weekly, Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman stated that this news is regrettably not shocking. The lengthy history of unpredictable, aggressive behavior and substance misuse by Mr. Kennedy is extensively detailed in Rachel’s lawsuit.
Cast members Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules are being sued by Leviss, who claims they were complicit in creating and disseminating revenge pornography against her. In an explosive scandal that surfaced in Season 10, Sandoval—who had been dating Madix for years—had an affair with Leviss.
