Vanderpump Rules Star James Kennedy was arrested on domestic violence charges, TMZ reported Thursday.

Police officials in Burbank, California, told TMZ that police were dispatched to a home after receiving a call about an altercation between a man and a woman. According to TMZ, a witness saw Kennedy arguing with a woman and allegedly grabbing her. Officials said the woman suffered no “visible injuries.” Although their identities have not been confirmed by law enforcement, TMZ reports that Kennedy and his girlfriend Ally Lewber attended a Christmas party at Kathy Hilton’s home the night of the arrest.

Kennedy and Lewber have been together since 2022 after Kennedy split from his ex-fiancée and boyfriend Vanderpump Star Rachel Leviss. In February, Lewber appeared on an episode of Scheana Shay Scheananigans podcast in which she denied rumors that Kennedy had physically abused her during a car ride to an MTV afterparty the year they met. “I know from the past that he has anger issues. So I get it,” Lewber told Shay at the time. “But I just want people to know that I’m okay and safe and that I love him.”

According to TMZ, the reality star was released after posting $20,000 bail. The outlet said the Burbank City Attorney’s Office is currently reviewing the case for possible charges.

The Cut has reached out to a representative for Kennedy and will update this post when we hear back.
