James Kennedy will not face charges in his domestic violence case, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Bravo star turned DJ's lawyer, Scott Leemon, announced the Burbank City Attorney's Office declined to pursue charges in a statement on Wednesday, January 22.
Kennedy was arrested on December 10 on misdemeanor domestic violence charges.
Leemon wrote: "I was just informed by the Burbank City Attorney's Office that no charges will be filed against James Kennedy.
"I want to thank them for conducting a thorough and professional review of the matter involving my client, James Kennedy.
"Their diligent investigation confirmed what we have maintained from the beginning – there were no grounds for any changes to be filed against Mr. Kennedy."
Kennedy's lawyer added his client is "grateful to have this matter behind him and is looking forward to continuing to focus on his sobriety and his DJ career."
Kennedy's lawyer said he's 'looking forward to continuing to focus on his sobriety and his DJ career.'
As RadarOnline.com reported, Kennedy was accused of picking up a woman – suspected of being girlfriend Ally Lewber – and throwing her down in the altercation that led to his arrest.
Jamie Lynn, a friend of the Vanderpump Rules cast, insisted Kennedy's arrest was not over a "misunderstanding" in a social media post, in which she shared the reality star's arrest record.
The arrest log revealed an officer responded to a call around 11:30 PM on December 10 and found Kennedy and the unnamed woman inside the residence.
Fans speculated the unidentified woman at the center of Kennedy's arrest was his girlfriend, Ally Lewber.
The woman's statement to police was also included in the record and indicated Kennedy had physically assaulted her by picking her up and throwing her to the ground.
Lynn added: "Not just a misunderstanding."
While police did not see any visible injuries on the woman, Kennedy was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence. He later posted bail.
Fans speculated the unnamed woman was Lewber due to the couple attending a holiday party hosted by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton earlier that evening, but rumors have not been confirmed.
Kennedy was said to be acting "erratic" and "rude" at the event.
A source said: "(Kennedy) was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way.
"He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude."
Lewber moved out of the couple's shared home five days after his arrest.

Five days after Kennedy's arrest, Lewber was seen moving out of the couple's shared Burbank home, adding to fans suspicious over the incident.
She later took to social media to thank fans for their support, writing: "Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me."
Now, sources claim Lewber and Kennedy are "all but broken up" since his arrest.
An insider said the reality star and Los Angeles-based Astrologist "still talk and check in with each other," but noted Lewber is "living her own life."
The source added: "She's focusing on her own peace and healing and her astrology career, and James is not her priority right now."
While Kennedy was said to be "desperately pleading with her to take him back," the source said Lewber "hasn't fully pulled the trigger yet, but it's headed in that direction of her walking away."
