James Kennedy, a star from “Vanderpump Rules,” was arrested this week in connection with a misdemeanor domestic violence incident, according to police reports. The 32-year-old DJ, whose full name is James Kennedy Georgiou, was taken into custody on Tuesday evening in Burbank, Los Angeles County, after officers responded to a call reporting a heated argument between him and a woman at around 11:30 p.m.
The Burbank police stated that the investigation confirmed it was a domestic incident, resulting in his arrest. After being booked, he posted bail, and authorities have indicated that formal charges are still pending a review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office.
At the time of the incident, Kennedy was reportedly dating Ally Lewber, who also starred in the reality show. Social media posts indicated that the couple attended a Christmas party hosted by “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member Kathy Hilton earlier that evening.
Representatives for Kennedy have not publicly commented on the situation.
In a related note, it has recently been revealed that “Vanderpump Rules” will return for its 12th season featuring an updated cast, moving away from familiar faces like Kennedy, following a dramatic season 10 that concluded with the “Scandoval,” centered around the infidelity of cast member Tom Sandoval with Raquel Leviss, who was friends with his long-term girlfriend, Ariana Madix.
Despite this troubling incident, it’s important to remember that a single event does not define a person’s entire character. There is hope that James Kennedy can learn from this experience and continue to grow positively in both his personal life and career as “Vanderpump Rules” looks ahead to its future. The evolution of the show and its cast members can bring about new opportunities for redemption and growth.
