James Kennedy, a star from “Vanderpump Rules,” has been arrested on allegations of misdemeanor domestic violence. The 32-year-old DJ, whose full name is James Kennedy Georgiou, was taken into custody on Tuesday night in Burbank, California, after police responded to reports of an argument at a residence around 11:30 p.m.
According to Burbank police, an investigation into the incident confirmed it was domestic in nature, prompting the arrest. Kennedy was subsequently booked on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence but was later released after posting bail. The Burbank City Attorney’s office will review the case to determine if formal charges will be filed.
At the time of the arrest, Kennedy was reportedly dating Ally Lewber, another cast member from the reality series, and they had been seen attending a Christmas party hosted by “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kathy Hilton earlier that evening, as noted on social media.
Representatives for Kennedy have not provided any comments regarding the arrest thus far.
In more news from the world of reality television, it was recently announced that “Vanderpump Rules” is set to return for its 12th season, introducing a new cast while parting ways with several longstanding members, including Kennedy. This comes after a dramatic conclusion to season 10, famously dubbed “Scandoval.” This scandal revolved around cast member Tom Sandoval’s affair with their mutual friend Raquel Leviss, which captivated audiences.
While this situation is undoubtedly serious, it is essential to remember that allegations do not equate to guilt, and due process is a fundamental aspect of the legal system. As developments unfold, fans and viewers will be keeping a close eye on both the legal proceedings and the forthcoming season of “Vanderpump Rules.”
