Kristen Doute, James KennedyKristen Doute is not hiding her feelings after James Kennedy's arrest.
Doute, 41, who dated her Kennedy between 2014 and 2015 following her split from Vanderpump Rules' costar Tom Sandoval, shared a post on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Dec. 12 after news broke that Kennedy, 32, had been arrested in Burbank, Calif. following a 911 call about an argument between him and a woman.
"FINALLY." Doute wrote as she reshared a post from a Bravo fan page that showed the headline of a TMZ story that revealed Kennedy had been arrested at his home after someone allegedly saw him get physical with an unnamed woman during an argument.
Authorities did not see any injuries when they arrived on the scene, the outlet reported, but he was arrested and released on $20,000 bail.
Burbank Police confirmed to PEOPLE that Kennedy was arrested at home on Tuesday, Dec. 10, around 11:30 p.m. "regarding an argument between a man and a woman."
"The investigation determined it was a domestic incident, leading to [Kennedy's] arrest," a police spokesperson told PEOPLE. "[Kennedy] was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and later posted bail. Formal charges are pending review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office."
It is unclear if the woman in question was the DJ’s girlfriend Ally Lewber — who he has been dating since January 2022 — but the pair had been together earlier that night at Kathy Hilton’s annual holiday party.
PEOPLE has reached out to Kennedy for comment.

James Kennedy and Kristen DouteA source told PEOPLE the pair spent much of the night apart and didn’t show much affection toward each other.
The Vanderpump Rules alum was allegedly "acting super aggressive all night long" at the holiday part on Tuesday, an insider told PEOPLE.
"He was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way,” the insider said. “He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude."

In addition to Doute and Lewber, Kennedy has previously been romantically involved with his former VPR costar Raquel Leviss. He was engaged to Leviss, 30, for seven months in 2021, but they called off their engagement after five years of dating in December 2021.
Leviss then made headlines when it was revealed she and Sandoval had an affair when Sandoval was dating his longtime girlfriend and fellow Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.
