James Kennedy returned to social media after his arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence.
Kennedy, 32, took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday, January 7, to share a photo of him with his dog, Hippie. In another post, Kennedy he showed nine of his chips from Alcoholics Anonymous which read, “Keep Coming Back.”
The reality star revealed his plans to make “meaningful changes” in his life after his arrest.
“I’m taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones,” she wrote via Instagram in December 2024. “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I’m determined to learn, grow and moving forward with the amazing support system around me.”
Us Weekly confirmed earlier that month that the police had been sent to the Kennedy home, where he lives with his girlfriend Ally Lewber. The authorities received a call about an argument between a man and a woman and saw Kennedy allegedly grabbing the woman. Officers who responded to the scene did not see any visible injuries.
According to police records, the woman the Burbank Police Department is told that “her lover picked her up and threw her to the ground.” Afterwards, Kennedy’s legal team released a statement on his behalf.
“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations brought against James by the Burbank Police Department,” his attorneys said in a statement to Us after he was released on $20,000 bail. “We understand there were no injuries and we hope that after a careful review, the city attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”
Lewber, 28, broke her silence after a source said Us that the couple takes up some space.

The English native met Lewber, an entertainment journalist, in January following his split from Leviss. “I’m, kind of, seeing someone,” Kennedy revealed during a February 2022 episode of Lala Kent’s “Give Them (…)
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “I’m fine and taking the time I need at the moment. I really appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”
A source then said Us about their statussaying, “James is trying to win everything back including Ally. If he doesn’t stay sober, he knows he has a lot to lose.”
Before the legal trouble, Kennedy discussed his sobriety journey forward Vanderpump Rules. (He joined the cast in 2015 when he was a busker in Lisa VanderpumpSUR restaurant.)
