Ally Lewber Reveals Lisa Vanderpump’s Words After Ex’s Arrest

The “Vanderpump Rules” star claimed the reality TV OG tried to encourage her to stay in her controversial relationship with Kennedy.

Ally Lewber confirmed her split from James Kennedy in January amid gratitude that prosecutors decided to drop their charges against him.

Lewber made allegations that Vanderpump attempted to persuade her to remain with her ex-boyfriend following his December 2024 arrest for domestic violence after a relapse.

In the recent episode of the “Viall Files” podcast, Lewber recounted that Vanderpump reached out to check on her several months after the incident, which she found somewhat unwarranted at the time.

Describing Vanderpump as caring and “very protective over James,” Lewber initially found this behavior strange when she joined “Vanderpump Rules” in Season 10. However, she began to understand the dynamic better.

According to the internet sensation, Vanderpump expressed that she believed they were good together and suggested that Lewber accompany Kennedy to his DJ shows for the weekend. 

Lewber then responded to Vanderpump by highlighting the impracticality of the suggestion, mentioning that Kennedy had canceled his shows. She also added that she had just settled into a new apartment, emphasizing that they were no longer together.

During the conversation with Nick and Joy Via, Lewber expressed uncertainty about whether Kennedy had sent Vanderpump to reach out to her, stating, “I don’t know. I really don’t know.” 

Vanderpump reportedly emphasized that they had both been drinking in moments leading to the alleged abuse by Kennedy. In the reality star’s words: “Well, you were drinking, too.”

Lewber further described the phone call between her and the restaurant owner as “really weird.” She admitted that it left her feeling “weak in the moment” and questioning her decisions. When Joy directly asked if she felt the need to protect Vanderpump, Lewber answered in the affirmative.

The Blast previously shared that in a candid reflection, the 29-year-old recalled the painful experience surrounding her split from her former partner. Kennedy was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in December 2024.

As she explored her emotions, she recognized the toxic nature of their relationship, noting that she often felt like she was living in anxiety over Kennedy’s behavior. Although she never felt physically unsafe, she acknowledged the significant emotional toll it took on her mental health.

Her journey also led her to confront her attraction to partners struggling with alcohol issues, a pattern rooted in the trauma of her father’s death from excessive alcohol use when she was only 11.

Despite her difficulties, she now views the publicity surrounding her breakup as a blessing in disguise. She remains “weirdly grateful” because the breakup finally made her confront her long-hidden fears.

Lewber reflected on the night that began with excitement after recording the first episode of her podcast, “StarStruck,” featuring Kennedy as a guest. 

However, the mood shifted dramatically at Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party. While working at the event, Lewber reportedly noticed Kennedy drinking secretly, and his behavior changed significantly after they left.

Initially doubtful about his sobriety, she soon recognized that something was wrong. Tensions rose afterward during a car ride home as they argued about his condition, with Kennedy denying he was drunk.

The situation escalated after they exited the Uber, prompting Lewber to request that the police administer a breathalyzer test. Although the police were unable to do so, they confirmed that Kennedy was intoxicated.

Lewber affirmed that local authorities assessed the situation. She also insisted that she was not physically hurt, although the emotional scars from how the night played out remained in her memory.

As Lewber finally finds closure from her turbulent relationship with Kennedy, the creator feels “excited” about the prospect of dating again.

However, she stressed her determination to take things slower this time. According to her, she is on the lookout for a “whole and complete” partner, someone who does not come with significant baggage. 

In reflecting on past experiences, Lewber recognized that while Kennedy may not have embodied these qualities, she now appreciates the importance of balance in a relationship. 

She candidly admits that although initially, traits like fun and light-heartedness can be very appealing, they may not be sustainable or desirable in the long run.
