"I don't have many thoughts." Elaborating, Kent explained, "When something happens in someone else's relationship, you first and foremost want to make sure like, 'Hey, how are you doing?

The Burbank Police Department confirmed responding to a call at James Kennedy's home regarding an argument between a man and a woman on December 10, 2024. James Kennedy was subsequently "booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and later posted bail," according to a spokesperson for the department.

"I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life. I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones. Navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me."
Ally Lewber also took to social media to address the incident, expressing gratitude for the support she'd received and requesting privacy. "I'm okay and taking the time I need right now," she wrote on her Instagram stories on December 14.
Meanwhile, James Kennedy's ex-fiancee, Rachel Leviss, shared her reaction on Instagram. Leviss posted a screenshot of a TMZ article headline on Instagram stories on December 14 and wrote:
