Ally Lewber details final fight with James Kennedy after ‘wake-up call’ arrest

Ally Lewber believed she was in a “fairy tale” romance until James Kennedy’s arrest last year — and she’s finally breaking down the “wake-up call” moment.
The 29-year-old recalled being invited to Kathy Hilton’s home in December 2024 to read the socialite’s birth chart at a Christmas party when she found out that her then-boyfriend, 33, was “drinking behind [her] back.”
“When I was finished working and came out to the party, that’s when it was like, ‘Oh, his whole demeanor changed,’” she recalled. “And I could kind of tell, like, ‘Have you been drinking?’”
At that point, Kennedy had been in recovery from his alcohol addiction for over a year and knew that “drinking was a non-negotiable” in their relationship.
While a “suspicious” Lewber initially thought coffee had made her “Vanderpump Rules” co-star “electric,” she told People on Tuesday that she called him out for being “obviously drunk” on the car ride home.
“It just kind of spiraled,” the “StarStruck” podcast host remembered. “The tension was high. … He was still gaslighting me. He’s like, ‘I’m not drunk, you’re drunk.’ And I’m like, ‘No.’
“We were just fighting, and then when we got out of the Uber, the fighting just continued,” Lewber added. “I was like, ‘I don’t want to be here.’ We were just fighting outside.”
Cops later showed up to the former couple’s home after being called by an unidentified woman. Although Lewber allegedly asked them to breathalyze Kennedy, they told her they couldn’t but confirmed that Kennedy was inebriated.
Kennedy was arrested on domestic violence charges that night over the unidentified woman’s claims that he lifted and threw Lewber on the ground. However, the Bravolebrity was cleared the following month after a “thorough” investigation.
Lewber insisted via Instagram in January that Kennedy did not “physically hurt” her, doubling down in Tuesday’s interview.
“I was not hurt physically,” she claimed. “Emotionally, yes. But yeah, that’s kind of how that night played out, unfortunately.”
Although Lewber alleged she “never felt unsafe” with the reality star, she explained that she spent the relationship “walking on eggshells,” awaiting “blowups” and “monitoring” his moods.
The astrologer acknowledged that this was why she decided to move out and “take some space” from Kennedy before breaking things off for good.
“I was still just trying to regulate his emotions and not upset him and upset myself,” she admitted, crediting her therapist with helping her realize the “great” relationship “wasn’t real” because Kennedy was “lying” about drinking again.
Kennedy opened up about falling off the wagon with a January Instagram statement, reading in part, “I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for loved ones.”
Lewber, whose dad died when she was 11 due to alcohol-related issues, now believes she was “trying to save” her father through her and Kennedy’s romance.
Now, she is looking to date someone “who is already whole and complete.”
Lewber explained, “[I want] someone that checks my boxes but is also like, ‘We can take things slow.’”

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease “a number of years ago.”
The musician shared the “personal update” with his Instagram followers on Saturday, clarifying in the caption that he is “doing well.”
The 58-year-old went into detail about his health issues in a video, filmed from his home.
“I went to my doctor, I went to a neurologist, did a whole bunch of tests, and I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease,” he recalled in the upload. “It’s been a struggle. It’s a struggle every day.”
Acknowledging the band’s upcoming Las Vegas residency, Dumont noted “the good news” — he can “still play music.”
He added, “I can still play guitar. I’ve been doing really well.”
As for why he chose to share, Dumont explained, “I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media, and that sort of thing.”
“I think it helps erase some of the stigma, and it raises awareness obviously,” he continued. “And awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”
Dumont, elsewhere in the video, gushed about how much “fun” it has been preparing for the Sphere residency, which kicks off in Sin City on May 6, with singer Gwen Stefani, drummer Adrian Young and bassist Tony Kanal.
“Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing … it’s kind of made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve gotten to lead as a musician all these years,” he said.
Dumont concluded, “I’m really excited about the shows, can’t wait to see everybody.”
His fellow No Doubt band members shared supportive comments over the weekend.
“My friend, bandmate, and hero, I love you brother,” Young, 56, wrote, while Kanal, 55, commented, “Love you beyond words my friend. Can’t wait to get on stage with you again.”
Trombonist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Gabrial McNair, for his part, wrote, “You are such a beautiful soul, Tom!! I love you so much and can’t wait get on stage with you!! LFG!!”
The band formed in 1986 and have gone on hiatus multiple times as Stefani, 56, pursued a solo career.
They reunited in for a Coachella 2024 performance after nearly a decade apart, and their most recent show together was at the FireAid LA benefit concert in January 2025.

Sabrina Carpenter apologizes for mistaking fan’s cultural chant with yodeling in awkward Coachella moment

Sabrina Carpenter delivered an apology after she misidentified a fan’s celebratory Arabic call as “yodeling” during her Coachella headlining set in an awkward moment that sparked outrage.
“My apologies,” she wrote on X on Saturday afternoon. “I didn’t see this person with my eyes and couldn’t hear clearly. My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm, and not ill-intended. Could have handled it better!”
“Now I know what a zaghrouta is!” she added. “I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”
During her Friday night performance on the California festival’s main stage, Carpenter paused between songs after hearing a loud call from the crowd.
After finishing her hit “Please Please Please,” she sat at her keyboard as the audience quieted — except for one fan who continued shouting.
“I think I heard someone yodel,” Carpenter said, prompting the fan to repeat the sound.
“Is that what you’re doing?” she asked. “I don’t like it.”
“It’s my culture,” the fan replied.
“That’s your culture, is yodeling?” Carpenter said.
“It’s a call of celebration,” the fan explained.
Carpenter didn’t engage further with the clarification and instead joked, “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird.”
The exchange quickly spread online while many people identified the sound as “zaghrouta,” a traditional celebratory vocal expression used in Arabic cultures at weddings and parties.
The moment fueled debate on social media over whether Carpenter’s reaction was appropriate.
“The way Sabrina doubled down and decided to continue to be ignorant even after it was clarified yodeling is part of that person’s culture says a lot about her,” one disappointed fan tweeted.
“Did Sabrina Carpenter just call that girl’s culture weird and creepy?” another added.
Others, however, defended the “Espresso” singer amid the backlash.
“She clearly could not hear the girl speaking,” one user wrote. “You have to remember she’s all the way up on stage.”
Before introducing her next song, Carpenter explained to the crowd why there was a slight delay, saying, “You know, the last time I played Coachella, I had some crazy piano malfunctions, so I’m making sure that we’re good here.”
She then introduced the track “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night”, telling fans, “I wanted to sing you guys a song I’ve never sung before from ‘Man’s Best Friend.’
“If anyone here has ever been in a relationship that starts, and ends, and then starts and ends, and then starts, and then ends, and then maybe it starts again and ends again, I’m singing this directly to you.”
Carpenter’s Old Hollywood-themed show also featured several surprise appearances.
Susan Sarandon made a cameo as an older version of the pop star in a theatrical segment, after recently saying she had been blacklisted in Hollywood over her pro-Palestine views.
Will Ferrell appeared onstage in a comedic bit as an electrician dragging a cable, Samuel L. Jackson contributed a voiceover segment during “Juno,” and the performance opened with a black-and-white intro featuring Sam Elliott.

‘Love on the Spectrum’ stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman break silence after split

“Love on the Spectrum” stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have confirmed their split.
“Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” Romeo, Isaacman and their families told People in a joint statement on Friday.
“At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”
News of the split first surfaced on Thursday, with a source telling the US Sun “they couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married.”
The source told the outlet that Isaacman was the hold up as Romeo “was ready” to tie the knot “years ago,” but her partner “still needed time.”
Despite the breakup after five years of dating, Romeo, 27, still showed some love to Isaacman, 31, as she shared her support for the release of his new children’s book, “The Big Five Save the Lions.”
Just two weeks before their breakup hit the news cycle, Romeo was gushing about her love for her now-confirmed ex on the “We Need To Talk” podcast.
She told host Paul C. Brunson that the couple enjoyed going to places like the LA Zoo, Disneyland, Universal Studios and the Griffith Observatory together, and shared what she likes about him.
“He says things that make me feel good, he covers my ears when there’s a certain noise I don’t like,” she said.
Isaacman and Romeo met and fell in love in Season 1 of the hit show, which aired in 2021.
The exes shared their marriage plans during Season 4 of “Love on the Spectrum,” which premiered April 1.
“Neither one of us are ready to get married,” Romeo told producers.
“We’re already married in our hearts,” the “Boyfriend Forever” singer explained, adding that she did not “want to be a divorced lady like [her] mom” and plans to “take [her] time.”
