James Kennedy Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge: Details of Vanderpump Rules Star's Arrest and Upcoming Season

James Kennedy, a star of Vanderpump Rules, was arrested earlier this week on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. The 32-year-old DJ, whose full name is James Kennedy Georgiou, was taken into custody late Tuesday night in Burbank, California, after police responded to a call about a domestic dispute between him and a woman around 11:30 p.m. The Burbank Police Department confirmed the arrest, stating that the investigation found the incident to be domestic in nature.

Following the arrest, Kennedy was booked on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge but later posted bail. Authorities indicated that formal charges are still under review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office. Details regarding the nature of the altercation and the identity of the woman involved have not been released by police.

Kennedy is currently in a relationship with Vanderpump Rules co-star Ally Lewber, who was reportedly with him at Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party earlier that evening, according to social media posts. Despite the arrest, the couple appeared to continue their evening’s festivities as planned. Representatives for Kennedy have not yet commented publicly on the incident.

The arrest comes at a pivotal time for Kennedy, as Vanderpump Rules is preparing to return for its 12th season. The new season will introduce a fresh cast of characters, signaling the departure of several familiar faces, including Kennedy. The upcoming season follows the dramatic conclusion of the previous one, which revolved around the "Scandoval" scandal involving Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss, which shocked fans and rocked the show’s fanbase.

Kennedy’s arrest adds to the ongoing drama surrounding the Vanderpump Rules franchise. With formal charges still pending, it remains unclear how the situation will impact his future on the show, particularly as the new season prepares to air. Fans and viewers are left waiting for further developments both in the legal case and in the Vanderpump Rules narrative.
