Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy has been arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The Burbank Police Department confirmed they were dispatched to a home in the area Tuesday night after getting a call about an argument between a man, later identified as James Kennedy Georgiou, and a woman. He was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence and later released after posting bail.
“On December 10, 2024, at about 11:30 pm, Burbank Police were dispatched to a residence regarding an argument between a man and a woman. The investigation determined it was a domestic incident, leading to Mr. Georgiou’s arrest,” a Burbank PD spokesperson shared in a statement. “Mr. Georgiou was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and later posted bail. Formal charges are pending review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office.”
Though the name of the woman involved has yet to be released, Kennedy has been dating Ally Lewber since 2022. The pair were reportedly at a party hosted at Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton’s home that same night.
THR has reached out to Kennedy’s rep and Bravo, but the latter declined to comment.
After joining Vanderpump Rules in season two, Kennedy was among the main cast to carry the show to a successful 11-season run. The Bravo show centers on the employees at Lisa Vanderpump’s Los Angeles restaurants and bars as they navigate their careers and personal relationships.
Kennedy starred alongside Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval. However, it was announced last month that they would all be exiting the show ahead of a Vanderpump Rules reboot with an all-new cast for season 12.
The reality star wrote in his show goodbye post last month, “I can’t lie, I’m holding back some tears as I write this. It’s been a pleasure being a part of Vanderpump Rules and filling your TV screens with our lives over the past decade. I’ve dedicated my life to this show and I’m forever grateful to everyone who tunes in. All of my dreams are finally coming true; this year I played Neon Carnival, EDS and Stagecoach and I have a Vegas residency – and I have all of you to thank. It’s been a wild ride and I’m excited to see what the future holds. Although this is a bittersweet ending, for me, this is just the beginning! THANK YOU.”
