James Kennedy Arrested: What We Know About the Domestic Violence Allegation Against the VPR Star

James Kennedy was arrested for domestic violence in the wake of the Vanderpump Rules recast announcement, according to multiple sources.

According to TMZ, the 32-year-old reality star turned DJ was arrested on December 10—the same night he attended Kathy Hilton’s annual Christmas party. While the initial report did not include too many details, here’s everything we know.

What happened?

Well, according to TMZ, the police were called about an argument between the VPR star and an unnamed woman at a house in Burbank, California (which was later identified as Kennedy’s home, per People). Though the police reportedly “did not see any visible injuries” on the woman in question, a witness allegedly saw the reality star “grabbing” the woman before James Kennedy was arrested for “misdemeanor domestic violence.” The news was first reported on December 12.

According to an arrest log obtained by TMZ and People on December 14, Police were called to the home for an “unknown problem.” After police made contact with both Kennedy and the woman inside the house, she reportedly claimed “her boyfriend picked her up and threw her to the ground.”

Has he been released?

Sources told TMZ that Kennedy was released after posting $20,000 bail and that the Burbank City Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing the case for possible charges. “The investigation determined it was a domestic incident, leading to [Kennedy’s] arrest,” a spokesperson for the Burbank Police Department told People. “[Kennedy] was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and later posted bail. Formal charges are pending review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office.”

Has James Kennedy commented on the situation?

Kennedy’s lawyers released a statement on Friday, December 13. “We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” the statement read, per Us Weekly. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

What happened before the arrest?

Earlier that evening, Kennedy reportedly attended DirecTV’s Christmas at Kathy’s event with his girlfriend of nearly three years, Ally Lewber. Following TMZ’s initial report, a source told People the couple “didn’t show much affection toward each other” and spent much of the party apart. They did not pose together on the red carpet.
