‘Vanderpump Rules’ Fans Think They Saw James Kennedy’s Mom Jacqueline Georgiou on ‘Dexter’ Prequel

Vanderpump Rules fans were in for a surprise when they seemingly spotted James Kennedy‘s mother, Jacqueline Georgiou, in a scene from Showtime’s Dexter prequel.

“Just watching the new season of Dexter and rewinded like 6 times trying to remember where I know this lady from,” a social media user wrote via Reddit alongside a screen grab from the new series.

The comments section largely agreed that the background actress resembled Georgiou, 54. “Yes she’s been an extra in a lot of shows,” read one reply while another Bravo viewer added, “Jax [Taylor] was an extra on Dexter too 😂.” (Taylor was an uncredited extra in a 2012 episode of the original Dexter series.)

According to another commentator, Georgiou and Kennedy’s girlfriend, Ally Lewber, “were extras in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” together, which they actually confirmed in a deleted VPR season 10 scene. Georgiou’s IMDB, however, doesn’t reflect the gig in the Brad Pitt film, which means something similar could’ve happened for Dexter: Original Sin. (TV shows and movies Call Me Crazy and Ray Donovan are included as her only scripted roles.)

One thing is for sure, Georgiou appeared in numerous episodes of Vanderpump Rules after Kennedy, 32, was hired as a busser at Lisa Vanderpump‘s restaurant SUR. Kennedy’s behavior — which often stemmed from his alcohol issues — frequently caused him to get fired or be on the outs with his costars. Georgiou, for her part, showed her support for Kennedy during her appearances on the show.

Earlier this month, Us Weekly confirmed that Kennedy was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence. Police were dispatched to Kennedy’s home, where he lives with Lewber, 28, on December 10 after they received a call about an argument between a man and a woman. The authorities allegedly saw Kennedy grabbing the woman and officers who responded to the scene did not see any visible injuries.

Kennedy was released on a $20,000 bail and his legal team subsequently released a statement.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” his attorneys told Us. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

After the arrest made headlines, Kennedy noted that he is prioritizing his mental health, writing via Instagram, “I am committed to making meaningful changes in my life. I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones.”

He continued: “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”

Lewber was subsequently seen carrying boxes outside of her and Kennedy’s shared home after sources told Us the couple was taking space.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” Lewber wrote via her Instagram Story. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”
