James Kennedy of 'Vanderpump Rules' Arrested for Domestic Violence

James Kennedy, a well-known figure from the Bravo show 'Vanderpump Rules, ' was recently arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence. This incident occurred in Burbank, California, where police responded to a call about an argument between Kennedy and a woman. The police confirmed it was a domestic incident, leading to Kennedy's arrest. He was later released after posting a $20, 000 bail. This isn't the first time Kennedy has been in the news for his behavior. He has had a tumultuous relationship history, including a very public breakup with his former fiancée, Rachel Leviss, who is currently involved in a lawsuit against some of her former castmates. Kennedy was a long-time cast member of 'Vanderpump Rules, ' starting from Season 4 after appearing in guest and recurring roles. He began as a busboy at SUR, a restaurant owned by Lisa Vanderpump, and eventually gained fame as a DJ. The show has been no stranger to controversy, especially with the 'Scandoval' cheating scandal that unfolded in Season 9. Kennedy's behavior has been a topic of discussion among fans and cast members alike, with some alleging a history of erratic behavior and substance abuse. In addition to his on-screen drama, Kennedy has faced allegations of abuse from his ex-girlfriend, Kristen Doute, who wrote about a verbally abusive relationship in her book. Doute's descriptions of broken furniture and physical assault have been connected to Kennedy. Recently, Kennedy was involved in a public incident with his current girlfriend, Ally Lewber, which was discussed on a podcast. Lewber denied any physical assault, but the incident has sparked concerns about Kennedy's behavior. 'Vanderpump Rules' is undergoing a reboot for its 12th season, with the entire cast being replaced. This comes after the show saw ratings highs following the 'Scandoval' scandal but couldn't maintain that momentum. The new season will feature new staff members from Vanderpump's restaurants, and the cast will be revealed at a later date.
