Ally Lewber, the girlfriend of Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy, has broken her silence following his arrest on December 10 for alleged domestic violence. In an emotional post on her Instagram Stories, Lewber, 28, thanked fans for their love and support during this challenging time.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” she wrote. “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.”
Kennedy, 32, was arrested in Burbank, California, on charges of misdemeanor domestic battery after an unnamed woman reported that he had “lifted her up and thrown her to the ground.” He was later released on a $20,000 bond. His legal team is currently conducting its own investigation into the matter, asserting that no injuries were reported and hoping that no formal charges will be filed.
Despite the controversy surrounding the arrest, Lewber was seen hosting a holiday event for fashion brand Windsor just the day after the incident, appearing in high spirits as she posed for photos. The arrest follows recent announcements of a Vanderpump Rules cast shakeup, with Bravo planning to introduce a new group of stars for the upcoming 12th season of the reality series.
Lewber’s message and the unfolding events have left fans wondering about the future for both her and Kennedy as they navigate this difficult moment.
