James Kennedy and Ally Lewber Split After Domestic Violence Altercation, Ally Moves Out!
James Kennedy and Ally Lewber have officially split after a domestic altercation, with Ally reportedly packing her bags and moving out of their shared home.
James Kennedy was arrested on December 10, 2024, in Burbank, California, on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence. The arrest followed an incident at his residence, where a woman reported that her boyfriend had lifted her up and thrown her to the ground.
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 32, was taken into custody around 11:50 p.m. and later released on a $20,000 bail. The Burbank Police Department responded to the scene after receiving a call about an argument between a man and a woman. Upon investigation, they determined it was a domestic incident, leading to Kennedy’s arrest.
Following the arrest, Kennedy’s girlfriend of nearly three years, Ally Lewber, addressed the situation publicly. On December 14, she shared a message on her Instagram Stories, expressing gratitude for the support she received: “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me. 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.”
In the days following the incident, Ally was seen moving her belongings out of the home she shared with Kennedy in the San Fernando Valley. Kennedy was photographed assisting her with the move, carrying items to her vehicle. Reports indicate that Ally is temporarily staying at an Airbnb with her family as she processes the situation and considers her next steps. Despite these developments, sources suggest that the couple remains together, though Ally’s family is providing her with support during this time.
Kennedy’s legal team has responded to the allegations, stating: “We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James. 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.”
The incident has garnered reactions from others associated with Vanderpump Rules. Rachel Leviss, Kennedy’s ex-fiancé, commented on the situation, sharing on Instagram that she often dismissed Kennedy’s abusive behavior as misunderstandings, expressing her dismay at the current situation.
As the situation develops, both Kennedy and Ally have requested privacy. Ally is expected to spend the holidays with her family in Ohio, with Kennedy’s potential presence still unclear.
The Burbank City Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing the case to determine whether formal charges will be filed against Kennedy. In the meantime, Kennedy has resumed some of his professional activities, performing a DJ gig in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on December 14, just four days after his arrest.
This incident has brought renewed attention to issues of domestic violence within the entertainment industry. Advocates stress the importance of early intervention and support for those affected.
