On Saturday, Dec. 14, the Vanderpump Rules alum, 32, played a DJ gig in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the Rave/Eagles Club, just four days after he was arrested at his L.A. home and booked for misdemeanor domestic violence charges, PEOPLE previously confirmed.
In an Instagram post shared by the venue, Kennedy played for a large crowd and was smiling behind the DJ booth as he performed.
"@itsjameskennedy turned up The Rave tonight! 🎉 🔥," the venue wrote in the post's caption. "Thanks to everyone who came out to party with us."
Kennedy's performance also came just hours after his girlfriend of two years, Ally Lewber, broke her silence on his arrest, writing in a post on her Instagram Stories, "Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me. I'm okay and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time."
