The woman allegedly assaulted by Kennedy has not been identified at this time, however, the Bravo star's girlfriend, Ally Lewber, notably attended DIRECTV's Christmas at Kathy's party with her man the night of the arrest.
At the soirée, "James was acting super aggressive all night long," an insider claimed to a news publication.
"He was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way," the source alleged. "He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude."
Kennedy started dating Lewber in January 2022 — roughly one month after his split from his former Vanderpump Rules costar and ex-fiancée, Raquel Leviss.
James Kennedy's girlfriend Ally Lewber was spotted on the phone following her boyfriend's domestic violence arrest.
In photos obtained by OK!, Lewber was seen breaking cover on Thursday while taking a phone call outside of her and Kennedy's shared home in Burbank, Calif.

One day prior, the internet personality was spotted hosting clothing brand Windsor’s New Year’s Eve celebration at Short Stories Hotel in Los Angeles. She arrived solo at the event, with her boyfriend seemingly staying away from the spotlight amid his arrest ordeal.
After Kennedy's arrest, his ex Kristen Doute savagely reacted to the news via her Instagram Story.
"FINALLY," The Valley star — who dated Kennedy on-and-off from 2013 to 2015 — declared alongside a re-shared post about her former flame's legal scandal.
