Ally Lewber is serving up more details about the night of James Kennedy’s arrest.
Over two months after announcing she and the Vanderpump Rules alum had broken up after three years together, the astrologer explained the moments that led up to his December arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence.
She had been working at Kathy Hilton’s holiday party, reading the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum her birth chart before rejoining James.
“When I was finished working and came out to the party, that’s when it was like, ‘Oh, his whole demeanor changed,’” Ally told
And though the StarStruck podcast host was hesitant to believe that James—who has been open about his alcohol addiction—had broken his sobriety at the party, she alleged that the moment “kind of spiraled” once the pair got in a car to head home.
“I was like, ‘You’re obviously drunk,’” Ally said she told James, “because he has a sip and it’s pretty easy to spot.”
She continued, “The tension was high. My friend
Following their exchange, Ally said the police showed up, though she said she doesn’t know who called them.
“They assessed the situation, and I was not hurt physically,” she continued. “Emotionally, yes. That’s kind of how that night played out, unfortunately.”
While Ally shared in the interview that she was not physically assaulted, a third person present on the night of the incident stated that a man “lifted” his girlfriend up “and threw her to the ground,” according to an arrest log obtained by E! News. Prosecutors ultimately decided not to charge the
Since Ally said James had been “drinking again behind my back,” she decided to seek therapy and encouragement from friends and family to leave the DJ for good.

“I never was physically hurt and I never felt unsafe,” she shared with People. “It was more just walking on eggshells and feeling anxious about, when is his next blow-up going to be?”
She added, “And I didn’t even realize this really until I was out of the house for a while, but just how my nervous system just feels normal again. It was always kind of anxious of making sure that he doesn’t get upset. Monitoring someone’s behavior is not healthy.”
But despite her public relationship and breakup, Ally has been able to find gratitude for her experiences.
“I’m weirdly grateful because it made me face the facts,” she said, later adding, “It was just a lot of wake-up calls that needed to happen, but it wasn’t easy in the moment.”
E! News has reached out to James’ rep for comment on her interview but has not heard back.
Following his arrest, James spoke out and shared that he was focusing on his personal improvement.
“I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories in December. “I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for loved ones.”
The 33-year-old added, “Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”
Since that December update, James celebrated in January that he was 48 days sober.
Earlier this year, Todd Chrisley received a pardon from the President. However, Patricia Altschul is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this Southern Charm star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a “felon” like Todd.
Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming. Their tiny tit for tat started after Todd’s release from prison. “During the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it’s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,” Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, “Well, there goes the neighborhood.”
Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.
So, recently clapping back via Decider, Pat quipped, “He’s very irrelevant. I said four words—there goes the neighborhood — and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.” Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, “We just don’t need any more felons in Charleston.”
Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.
And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward her in Charleston.
Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
