James Kennedy, (full name: James Kennedy Georgiou) an alum of Vanderpump Rules, was reportedly arrested earlier this week — and Bravo viewers want answers. The news came weeks after VPR announced a cast shakeup, replacing Kennedy and his now-former co-stars. Since the reality TV personality has been dating his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, fans of the couple are curious about their relationship status. After all, Lewber was seen attending an event one day after her boyfriend’s arrest, so it’s unclear where they stand.
News47.us is breaking down the details surrounding Kennedy’s arrest below.
Kennedy was arrested in Burbank, California, on December 11, police confirmed in a statement obtained by Variety. TMZ was the first to report the news.
“On December 10, 2024, at about 11:30 p.m., Burbank Police were dispatched to a residence regarding an argument between a man and a woman,” the statement read. “The investigation determined it was a domestic incident, leading to Mr. Georgiou’s arrest. Mr. Georgiou was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and later posted bail. Formal charges are pending review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office.”
After being charged, Kennedy was released from police custody after posting a $20,000 bail, per Variety.
It’s unclear who the woman in the incident was. Lewber was not named.
Neither Kennedy nor Lewber has publicly commented on his arrest. One day after Kennedy was arrested, Lewber attended the New Year’s Eve with Windsor event at the Short Stories Hotel in Los Angeles, where she was seen smiling for cameras and spending time with fellow reality TV stars.
