James Kennedy Talks About His Sobriety for the First Time Since His Arrest

James Kennedy, the 32-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum, has issued his first statement following his arrest for alleged domestic violence. He was taken into custody last week on misdemeanor charges after a witness reported seeing him in an argument and allegedly grabbing a woman at his home in Burbank, California.

In his Instagram Stories on December 17, James shared his commitment to making positive changes in his life. “I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life,” he wrote, emphasizing his focus on sobriety, personal growth, and being there for his loved ones. He acknowledged the difficulty of navigating tough situations but expressed his determination to learn, grow, and move forward with the support of those around him.

This statement follows previous remarks from his lawyers and his girlfriend, Ally Lewber. As Vanderpump Rules gears up for its 12th season, it’s worth noting that James is one of the few stars confirmed to return.
