James Kennedy Created Chaos at Kathy Hilton’s Holiday Party Before Arrest!
Former Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy caused a scene at Kathy Hilton’s holiday party on Tuesday, December 10th — just hours before he was arrested for domestic violence.
According to sources, James’ behavior at the exclusive event raised eyebrows and left partygoers wondering what exactly had happened.
Erratic Behavior at Kathy Hilton’s Party
An insider who spoke with Us Weekly revealed that James’ actions at Hilton’s holiday bash were “erratic” and attention-grabbing. “His guy friend was chasing him from Kathy’s basement all the way throughout Kathy’s backyard, and James looked mad while running away,” the source explained, adding that the situation escalated quickly.
The source went on to describe how James’ friend almost fell into the pool while chasing him, knocking over a lantern and causing a commotion. “The guy who was chasing him almost fell into the pool and dropped a lantern in the pool causing a huge scene. Everyone was wondering what was going on,” the insider said. The chaos only added to the confusion, and it was clear that something was off.
Avoiding the Red Carpet and Unusual Vibes
Before the chaotic incident, James’ behavior was also reportedly unusual on the red carpet. According to a separate source, James seemed to be in a “mood” and avoided doing interviews as expected. “He ran off to get inside the party instead of doing interviews,” the insider shared. This only added to the tension surrounding his presence at the event.
An eyewitness told Page Six that they observed James “speed across the carpet like he was trying to avoid everyone.” The source noted, “The vibes were weird,” further suggesting that Kennedy was acting out of character at the party.
Nick Viall’s Take on James Kennedy’s Behavior
Nick Viall, a former Bachelor star, also spoke out about his experience observing James’ behavior at the Hilton-hosted event. Viall, who attended the party with his wife, Natalie Joy, recalled witnessing James being rude to one of his friends earlier in the evening.
“He was barking orders at one of his friends. Let’s say his friend’s name is Sam. And [James] goes, ‘Sam! Hold this! Now,’” Viall recalled on an episode of his Viall Files podcast. “And his friend just grabbed the drink and James kept walking and I was like… ‘That was insane.’”
Viall went on to say that he was the only person who noticed the interaction, adding, “Natalie didn’t even see this. … I was like, 10 minutes earlier I met this guy who he introduced as his best friend and then 10 minutes later he was barking orders.” This exchange highlighted just how unusual James’ behavior seemed that night, as he appeared to be acting with little regard for those around him.
Arrest and Bail
Just hours after his disruptive behavior at Kathy Hilton’s party, James Kennedy found himself in legal trouble. Police in Burbank were called to a residence at around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday night following a report of an argument between a man and a woman. James was subsequently arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence.
He was released later that evening after posting $20,000 bail. While details surrounding the incident remain unclear, the identity of the woman involved in the dispute has not been disclosed. However, James was seen at Hilton’s party with his girlfriend of two years, Ally Lewber.
Ally Lewber’s Public Appearance
In the days following James’ arrest, Ally Lewber was spotted at another event — Windsor’s Pre-New Year’s Eve party in Los Angeles. Unlike James, Lewber appeared to be handling the public spotlight without any issues. She was seen giving a speech, walking the red carpet solo, and conducting interviews at the event.
James, on the other hand, was noticeably absent from the gathering, leading many to wonder about the status of their relationship in the wake of the recent events. Lewber appeared unfazed by the drama surrounding her boyfriend’s arrest, and the contrast between her calm demeanor and Kennedy’s erratic behavior raised questions about the couple’s dynamic moving forward.
What’s Next for James Kennedy?
As of now, it remains unclear what repercussions James Kennedy will face following his arrest and the alleged altercation. With Vanderpump Rules currently airing its latest season, fans are likely to follow this saga closely, particularly as James’ behavior continues to make headlines. The chaotic events at Kathy Hilton’s party have only added to his already controversial reputation, leaving many to wonder how this will affect his future both on and off the screen.
James’ erratic behavior and arrest are sure to continue to be a topic of conversation, particularly as the season progresses. For now, his public image appears to be taking a hit, but whether he will be able to repair it or face further fallout remains to be seen.
