James Kennedy’s alleged “temper” and outbursts were always a point of concern for his girlfriend Ally Lewber’s inner circle, a source tell The Post.
The “Vanderpump Rules” alum, 32, was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence on Tuesday evening after allegedly getting into an argument with a woman. The female’s identity has not been revealed and it’s unclear if Ally was involved, but the couple attended Kathy Hilton’s annual holiday party earlier that night.
A source connected to the pair told The Post that Ally’s close friends were “concerned” about her dating James when they first got together in 2022 based on his behavior on “Vanderpump Rules.”
The insider added that their worries lessened the more they got to know him, adding that her pals thought Ally was “good for James,” but “his temper has always been an issue.” However, a separate insider said this is “not normal behavior for him.”
A third source told The Post they’ve allegedly witnessed James and Ally get into “massive yelling fights” but nothing physical. They also shared that he “calmed down on his drinking, which really helped” their relationship.
When it comes to their alleged altercations, the source said Ally “stands up for herself” and “isn’t passive like Raquel [Leviss],” whom James was engaged to for 7 months before they broke up in Dec. 2021. The insider also shared that James “is a good guy and has tried to change.”
James was taken into custody and booked after allegedly grabbing a woman in an argument; however, sources told TMZ that officers didn’t see any visible injuries on the female.
The Post just caught up with Ally last week, and she shared that her relationship with James was “better than ever.”
“We’ve been the best that we’ve ever been. And I think it probably has to do with the fact that we haven’t been filming in a while,” she shared on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
While Ally has been quiet on James’ arrest, one of his ex-girlfriends addressed it head-on.
Pregnant Kristen Doute, 41, whom he dated off-and-on between 2013 and 2015, posted a story about his arrest on Thursday and wrote one word: “Finally” as the caption.
The alleged incident comes on the heels of Bravo announcing that “Vanderpump Rules” is returning for Season 12 with a new cast.
Ally shared with The Post that she was looking forward to not having cameras on her and James 24/7.
“I think it’ll be nice to just feel like we have some privacy and, like, [we] can actually focus on us,” she shared earlier this month.
The Post has reached out to Ally and James for comment.
