Earlier that night, the couple had attendedKathy Hilton’s annual holiday party. A source told PEOPLE the pair spent much of the event apart and didn’t show much affection toward each other.
A second source claimed 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.”
