Ally Lewber Breaks Her Silence Amid James Kennedy’s Domestic Violence Arrest

On December 14, the star of Vanderpump Rules, Ally Lewber, took to her Instagram Stories to express her gratitude to her followers for their unwavering support during a challenging time in her life. In this heartfelt message, she provided an update about her current state of wellbeing as she navigates the aftermath of her boyfriend, James Kennedy, being arrested on charges of domestic violence.

This incident has drawn significant media attention, especially given the couple’s public profile, and many fans are concerned about Lewber’s emotional state following these distressing events.

In her emotional statement, Lewber expressed, “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me.” She reassured her followers by stating, “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.” This message reflects her desire for peace and support while dealing with the repercussions of the situation.

On December 10, authorities from the Burbank Police Department responded to a call regarding a dispute at Kennedy’s residence in Los Angeles. The police described the situation as an argument between a man and a woman, which has since led to speculation that Lewber was indeed the woman involved in this troubling incident.

To clarify, the authorities did not confirm the identity of the woman involved, but they did state that their investigation categorized the incident as domestic in nature, which ultimately resulted in Kennedy’s arrest. This classification raises serious concerns about the nature of their relationship and the dynamics involved.

After being taken into custody, Kennedy was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and subsequently released after posting a $20,000 bail. The formal charges are still under review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for both Kennedy and Lewber.

Insiders have reported that Kennedy is alleged to have physically grabbed a woman during a heated argument. The lack of visible injuries on the victim, as noted by responding officers, has added another layer of complexity to the situation as fans and observers await further developments.

As the situation unfolds, it is important to note that Kennedy and Lewber began their relationship in 2022, shortly after Lewber joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules. Earlier this year, she publicly denied allegations of physical abuse, specifically an incident that was rumored to have occurred in a vehicle following the MTV Movie Awards two years prior.

“That never happened. There was no physical altercation,” Lewber asserted during an appearance on Scheana Shay’s podcast in February, emphasizing her commitment to dispelling any misconceptions about her relationship with Kennedy.

In a twist related to the incident, Kristen Doute, who previously dated Kennedy from 2013 to 2015, responded to the news on her Instagram Stories on December 12. She shared an article detailing the events surrounding the arrest and simply captioned it, “Finally,” suggesting a sense of vindication or relief regarding the situation.

In light of these developments, Kennedy’s legal team has released a statement asserting, “We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James.” They expressed hope that, after thorough review, the city’s attorneys would opt against filing formal charges against Kennedy, which would certainly affect his reputation and future opportunities.
