“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” attorneys for Kennedy said in a statement. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

Kennedy’s arrest came on Tuesday, December 10, when a neighbor called police about a couple arguing at Kennedy’s California home. A witness said he was arguing with a woman and allegedly grabbed her.

TMZ first reported the news on Thursday, December 12, adding that police did not see any visible injuries on the alleged victim. Kennedy was released hours later on $20,000 bail.

Lewber has refuted rumors in the past of Kennedy being abusive toward her. She spoke specifically about an incident at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards on a February episode of Scheana Shay’s “Scheananigans” podcast.

“There was no physical altercation,” she recalled. “I thought we were having fun. We were having fun. But then James and I did get into an argument, but there was no physical ᴀssault. I was not bleeding, and they didn’t have to get out of the car and separate us. So that didn’t happen. That’s all I’ll say on that.”
