Bravo Investigated James Kennedy Before Arrest

Bravo followed up on claims that James Kennedy

was violent with women one year before his domestic violence arrest, Us Weekly can confirm.

“There was an investigation, but they found nothing,” a source close to the situation told Us. “It was inconclusive, so nothing happened.”

On Wednesday, December 18, Page Six was first to report that Bravo previously investigated an allegation that Kennedy, 32, was violent toward women. (Us has reached out to Bravo for comment.)

News broke on December 12 that Kennedy had been arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence two days prior following an alleged argument with an unidentified woman. An eyewitness called the police after allegedly seeing Kennedy grab her arm.

A separate source told Us that the arrest was based on “a complete misunderstanding.” Kennedy was “arguing” with his girlfriend, Ally Lewber, when “a neighbor was outside and heard them fighting and called the police.”

Kennedy’s attorneys spoke out in a statement to Us one day after news of the arrest went public.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” the December 13 statement read. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

In the days that followed the incident, Lewber’s parents “have come into town and they have gotten an Airbnb and have taken her there,” a third source told Us, noting that the couple “are having some distance but it’s not over.”

The insider went on to say that Lewber’s parents want to take her back to Ohio “where she was always planning on spending the holidays.” Kennedy, for his part, “has no plans to change any of his schedule of [DJ] gigs” the same source said.

In the aftermath of his arrest, Kennedy said that he’s keeping his sobriety top of mind.

“I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life,” the Bravo star shared via Instagram Stories on December 17. “I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones.”

He added, “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”
