Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy has broken his silence a week after he was arrested for domestic violence.
The British star, 32, whose girlfriend Ally Lewber was seen moving out of their home this week, wrote on Instagram: ‘I am determined to make meaningful changes in my life.
“I’m taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth and being present for my loved ones.
“Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am committed to learning, growing and moving forward with the incredible support system around me.”
Burbank Police responded to a call about a “man and woman arguing” at Kennedy’s home on Tuesday, December 11 around 11:30 p.m.
At this time there is no confirmation that Kennedy’s girlfriend Ally Lewber was the reported victim.

The arrest occurred after Kennedy and Ally attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party together.
The Burbank Police Daily Arrest Log reported that an officer spoke with both Kennedy and a woman at a home that evening after receiving a 9-1-1 call, according to TMZ.
While there, the woman, whose name was not revealed, told investigators she was picked up by her boyfriend and he threw her to the ground.
Police on scene said they saw no visible injuries on the alleged victim, but arrested Kennedy for misdemeanor domestic violence against spouse/co-resident.
Officers were initially called to the home based on reports that Kennedy had gotten into an argument with the woman and was arrested.
On Saturday, 28-year-old Lewber – who has been dating Kennedy since 2022 – spoke out about his arrest in a statement on her Instagram stories.
She wrote, “Thank you to everyone who reached out with love and support and for checking in with me.”
‘I’m doing well and I’m now taking the time I need. I really appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”
Kennedy was released after posting $20,000 bail, according to police records.
Kennedy’s attorney, Scott Leeman, tried to downplay the seriousness of the incident, telling the newspaper, “We understand that no injuries were reported and we hope that after careful investigation, the city’s attorney will decide not to file formal charges to serve.’
