The Valley” star Brittany Cartwright offered “Vanderpump Rules” alum Ally Lewber advice following her breakup from James Kennedy.
While speaking to TMZ on January 25, Cartwright briefly addressed Lewber and Kennedy’s split. Cartwright said she did not want to comment too much on the situation as she is not close to Kennedy or Lewber, as reported by Reality Tea. She said, however, that she wants “the best” for Lewber.
Cartwright was then implored to share advice to help Lewber navigate her breakup in the public eye. As fans are aware, Cartwright announced she had filed for divorce from her now estranged husband, Jax Taylor, the father of her son, Cruz, in August 2024.
“It’s hard doing all this in the media. But I just want her to, like, be strong and focus on herself. Put herself first. That’s the most important right now. Because it’s tough,” said Cartwright.
Ally Lewber Commented on Her Breakup From James Kennedy
People magazine reported that Lewber shared she and Kennedy had ended their relationship in a January 2025 Instagram Story. In the social media post, she referenced Kennedy got arrested in December 2024.
“Thank you for all your support and kindness. I am happy that prosecutors decided not to file against James as I never desired criminal charges. We had an argument outside of his home related to him drinking again, however, I was not physically hurt,” wrote Lewber.
Lewber also said that while she and Kennedy “are no longer together,” she will “always support James and wish him the best with his sobriety and healing.”
“Thank you for your understanding,” continued Lewber.
While speaking to People magazine in December 2024, a police spokesperson commented on what led to Kennedy getting arrested.
“The investigation determined it was a domestic incident, leading to [Kennedy’s] arrest. [Kennedy] was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and later posted bail. Formal charges are pending review by the Burbank City Attorney’s office,” said the police spokesperson to People magazine.
Brittany Cartwright Said She Was Relieved After Filing for Divorce
During a November 2024 interview on “Bravo’s Hot Mic” podcast, Cartwright, who separated from Taylor in January 2024, said she “felt relieved” after she filed for divorce from Taylor. Cartwright said she needed to end her marriage while Taylor was seeking mental health treatment at an in-patient facility for 30 days during the summer of 2024. According to Cartwright, Taylor was sending her aggressive messages during his stay at the facility.
“A lot of rage texting and stuff was still going on the entire time that he was in rehab. So for me, I was just noticing like this is just going to be constant. Like if you’re in therapy seven hours a day, and you’re still finding time to call me names and cuss me out, and send me rage texts, then you’re obviously never going to change,” said Cartwright during the interview.
Cartwright and Taylor will appear together in the upcoming second season of “The Valley.”
