Although it is unclear who the alleged victim is, Kennedy was in a long-term relationship with Ally Lewber, 28.

On the night of Kennedy’s arrest, the couple were seen chatting and having fun at Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party.

Page Six reached out to reps for Kennedy and Lewber for comment but did not immediately receive a response. The DJ also did not address the incident on social media.

For her part, Lewber posted several Instagram Stories on Wednesday while attending a holiday influencer event. Her boyfriend, who has a history of substance abuse, did not appear to be present for the outing.

Kennedy began dating Lewber in 2022. Just a few months earlier, he had ended his engagement to Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, who then had a highly publicized affair with Tom Sandoval.

Although the Bravo star and astrology enthusiast seemed happy in her new relationship, they were plagued by rumors of domestic violence.

Bravolebrities costars Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge reportedly witnessed the couple getting into a “physical altercation” after an MTV Movie Awards afterparty.

“That never happened. “There was no physical altercation,” Lewber claimed on her former co-star Scheana Shay’s “Scheananigans” podcast in February.

“Yes, we were in the car together. I thought we were having fun. We had fun. But then James and I got into an argument, but there was no physical attack.”

Kennedy’s latest assault allegations come after Bravo announced that they were recasting “Vanderpump Rules” and that the British DJ and his castmates, who helped make the show a hit, would not be returning.
