Trigger Warning: This article contains discussion of domestic violence.
Ally Lewber’s family and friends hope she’ll move on from James Kennedy for good after his domestic violence arrest.
Allegedly, the Vanderpump Rules couple had an argument after Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party last week, and a concerned neighbor called the police. James’ arrest log states the unnamed woman involved – presumed to be Ally – claimed that her boyfriend picked her up and threw her to the ground.
Ally was photographed seemingly moving out of their home, and James broke his silence, vowing to work on his personal growth and sobriety again. However, a source says Ally’s support system thinks it’s time for her to move on from James.
A source says Ally Lewber’s ‘really leaning on her friends and family right now’
A source close to Ally spoke with The U.S. Sun. They say she’s “doing okay, as good as can be expected.” But, “mentally, she is processing a lot.”
The source continued, “She’s really leaning on her friends and family right now and everyone is showing up for her. She is very loved and everyone just wants her to know how valued and strong she is. It seems she forgot some of that strength and independence along the way, but she is finding it again.”
The source also claims that James “immediately stepped in and tried to control the narrative” after his December 10 arrest.
“He wanted to downplay it like he has before, making it seem like it was no big deal.” They continued, “People have even seen him trying to downplay things on the show, so imagine how it is off camera.”
Though Ally’s family cares about James, Ally is their primary concern. “Of course her family isn’t happy with any of this. There are aspects of James they completely love, he can have the best heart. But his dark side is something her family doesn’t want her to tolerate … they’re trying to open Ally’s eyes.”
“Ultimately no, they don’t want James and Ally together. They want the best for James, but Ally is their little girl and she doesn’t deserve what he’s put her through. It’s a parent’s worst nightmare. Her mom just wants her little girl to be safe and happy.”
