According to authorities, Kennedy, 32, whose full name is James Kennedy Georgiou, was arrested on Tuesday night in Burbank, Los Angeles County, after officers responded to a call about an incident at a property about 11:30 p.m.
“The investigation determined it was a domestic incident, leading to Mr Georgiou’s arrest,” Burbank police said in a statement.
According to NBC News, he was arrested on charges of domestic assault and then freed on bond. Police said that formal charges are under review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office.
Kennedy, who is presently in a relationship with fellow Vanderpump Rules alum Ally Lewber, seemed to attend a Christmas party held by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton earlier that evening, according to social media pictures.
Representatives for Kennedy have yet to comment on the arrest.
The incident comes just weeks after Vanderpump Rules announced its return for a 12th season with a refreshed cast, marking the departure of Kennedy and other original stars.
The show recently garnered attention for its highly publicised “Scandoval,” where cast member Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss overshadowed the season finale.
Kennedy, who rose to fame as a DJ and reality star, has not publicly addressed the arrest. As authorities complete their review, further developments in the case are expected.
