A reality TV star has broken his silence on his arrest for alleged domestic violence, pledging to make “meaningful changes in my life.” In a statement posted Wednesday on Instagram, James Kennedy, a recurring cast member of Vanderpump Rules, said he is “taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones.” He added that “navigating challenging moments is not easy, but I am determined to learn, grow, and move forward with the incredible support system around me.” Kennedy’s comments offer a contrast to his earlier refusal to apologize after police responded to calls about a man and women arguing at his home last week and he was was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery. “We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” his attorneys told the Daily Mail last Friday, adding there had been no injuries and that they were confident no formal charges would be filed. The alleged victim, who has not been formally identified, reportedly told officers that she’d been lifted up and then thrown to the ground by her boyfriend.
