Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy has broken his silence one 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 committed to making meaningful changes in my life.
‘I am 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 determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.’
Burbank Police Department responded to a call about a ‘man and woman arguing’ at Kennedy’s residence around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 11.
At this time, there has been no confirmation Kennedy’s girlfriend Ally Lewber was the reported victim.

The arrest occurred after Kennedy and Ally attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas bash together.
The Burbank Police Daily Arrest Log reported that an officer spoke with both Kennedy and a woman that night inside a residence after receiving a 9-1-1 call, according to TMZ.
While there, the woman, whose name was not revealed, told investigators she had been picked up by her boyfriend and that he threw her to the ground.
Police on the scene said they did not see any visible injuries on the alleged victim, but arrested Kennedy for misdemeanor domestic battery upon spouse/co-habitant.
Officers were initially summoned to the residence on reports Kennedy had gotten into an argument with the woman and grabbed.
On Saturday, Lewber, 28 – who has been dating Kennedy since 2022 – spoke out on his arrest in a statement on her Instagram stories.
She penned, ‘Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me.’
‘I’m okay and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.’
Kennedy was released after paying a $20,000 bail, according to police records.
Kennedy’s attorney, Scott Leeman, tried to downplay the severity of the incident, telling the outlet, ‘We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorney will decide not to file formal charges.’
