Kepner, who openly identifies as a lesbian, was alleged to have pursued her former partner with a sizable kitchen knife and penned a suicide note after self-harming, as reported by the Daily Mail on January 23.
According to the Western Journal, a court document from November 2021 detailed that Kepner had allegedly "lunged" at her partner, placing her in a headlock, causing her to fall, and forcibly kissing her. The same day, Kepner was also accused of wielding a "large butcher knife," threatening to stab herself in the heart or neck, and composing a suicide note. The Daily Mail reported that the purported threats and attempted strangulation were captured on video, as claimed by the court documents.

In response to these allegations, Kepner refuted the claims, telling the Daily Mail that her former partner had "orchestrated a campaign to attempt to ruin my career." John Fowler, Kepner's attorney, stated that his client had been "exonerated in multiple forums," including the fire department, police department, and district attorney's office. In February 2022, a judge dismissed the allegations.

Kepner, in her court filings, had previously claimed that her ex-partner was fabricating the allegations and had attacked Kepner herself. The ex-partner denied these claims. The Daily Mail, while withholding the name of the ex-partner, quoted her as saying that she had informed Kristin Crowley, the Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, about the incident, claiming that Kepner had threatened and attacked her.

The ex-partner further alleged that Crowley, who also identifies as a lesbian, and Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass, had concealed Kepner's alleged violent behavior. The Daily Mail reported that Kepner was set for a promotion to command one of the four Los Angeles Fire Department bureaus. However, the promotion was withdrawn after a local reporter exposed the domestic violence allegations in March 2023.

The ex-partner told The Daily Mail, "Two weeks later the guys in the department were telling me that she’s no longer to be a deputy chief." She further speculated that Mayor Bass had likely confronted Crowley about the situation, leading to Kepner's demotion. "Bass and Crowley definitely covered that up," the ex-partner claimed.

The resurgence of these domestic violence allegations coincides with the aftermath of historic fires that inflicted substantial damage on homes and businesses in the greater Los Angeles area. Many conservatives have pointed out that the Los Angeles Fire Department and other senior city officials seemed to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives over disaster preparedness.
