A notable TV personality finds himself in trouble with the law after a recent dispute at his residence.
James Kennedy, known for his role on "Vanderpump Rules," was detained on Dec. 10, 2024, for misdemeanor domestic violence but has since been released on bail, Fox News reported.
Kennedy was arrested after a reported altercation at his home, which prompted police to respond to neighborhood complaints on Tuesday evening.
While the incident has drawn media attention, details remain unclear, and the role of his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, in the situation has not been fully defined.
Authorities determined the incident was domestic-related, resulting in Kennedy's detention on a misdemeanor charge. He was released on a $20,000 bond while official charges are reviewed by the Burbank City Attorney's office. Neither Kennedy's nor Lewber's representatives have commented on the matter.
Before the arrest, Kennedy and Lewber attended a festive event hosted by Kathy Hilton. The altercation occurred after leaving the event, but details of how the situation escalated into police involvement remain unclear.
Earlier in 2024, Lewber denied rumors of domestic violence during an appearance on the "Scheananigans" podcast, providing clarity on the relationship's complexities amid growing public attention.
Ally Lewber, having spoken out before the incident, tackled rumors directly by saying these allegations were unfounded. In conversations on potential violence, she reflected on their experiences together and the absence of physical confrontations.
That never happened. There was no physical altercation. 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.
The quote portrays Lewber's perspective on past allegations and seems to echo her take on the current situation.
