On December 10, police arrested James Kennedy for misdemeanor domestic violence after an altercation with a woman in California. Police arrived after a disturbance call, and witnesses said they saw Kennedy arguing with the woman before allegedly grabbing her. However, authorities found no visible injuries on the woman. Kennedy posted a $20,000 bail and got released a few hours later.
Rachel Leviss Speaks Out
Rachel Leviss, Kennedy’s ex-fiancée, has finally spoken out. Her lawyers, Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman, said that the arrest was not a surprise. “Rachel’s lawsuit describes Mr. Kennedy’s long history of violent behavior and substance abuse,” they said.
Rachel Leviss didn’t hold back in her lawsuit against ex-fiancé James Kennedy, ex-lover Tom Sandoval, and his former girlfriend, Ariana Madix. In the court filings, she accused Kennedy of violent behavior, substance abuse, and emotional instability.
Leviss described Kennedy as “prone to violent outbursts” and claimed he struggled with “long-standing substance abuse issues and emotional dysregulation.” She alleged that Kennedy would “regularly berate” her, “falsely accuse her of cheating,” and often “act in a generally unhinged manner.”
The lawsuit revealed, “Some of this was captured on camera; some was not.” Leviss reportedly warned Kennedy she would leave him if he didn’t stop drinking. However, the court documents noted, “She soon learned that his despicable behavior was not solely a function of alcohol abuse.”
The explosive allegations shed light on the tumultuous relationship between Leviss and Kennedy, adding another layer of drama to their highly publicized split.
Kennedy and Leviss were together for five years before ending their engagement in December 2021. They posted on Instagram that they had “different goals” and were no longer in love. After the breakup, Kennedy quickly started a relationship with Ally Lewber.
Lewber has not commented on Kennedy’s recent arrest or on whether she got involved in the altercation. Police have not confirmed if Lewber was the woman with Kennedy during the altercation. However, the two attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party earlier that night.
Kennedy’s Troubling Past Comes Under Scrutiny
Kennedy’s arrest brings attention to his troubled past. He has struggled with substance abuse and violent outbursts for years. Leviss’ lawyers continue to point out this pattern as they fight for justice in her case.
While Kennedy has not faced serious charges yet, his past and this arrest raise big questions about his future. Will his history catch up with him in court?
As the legal battles and revelations continue, the drama between Kennedy, Leviss, and their past relationship is far from over. Kennedy’s arrest, Leviss’ legal action, and the speculation about Lewber’s involvement keep this story in the headlines. Fans are eagerly watching to see what happens next in this ongoing reality TV saga.
