Britt Lower appeared with husband Kenna Kennor, sparking reaction over past accusations against him

Actress Britt Lower, known for her Emmy-winning turn as Helly R. on Severance, attended the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California with her husband, Kenna Kennor, and the pairing has sparked discussion online given past accusations against him. Lower, whose work on television has earned critical acclaim, walked the Critics Choice red carpet with Kennor on January 4, 2026, as part of the star-studded ceremony celebrating film and TV achievements.

Lower’s presence at the event was captured alongside other high-profile attendees as photographers documented arrivals at Barker Hangar. While the actress received praise for her performance highlights at the awards, she was among the nominees for Best Actress in a Drama Series for Severance at the ceremony, social media reaction quickly turned toward her companion.

Kenna Kennor, a British hairstylist who married Lower in 2024 according to public records, has been the subject of accusations alleging sexual assault and sexual harassment by multiple women on social platforms earlier in 2025. These allegations, shared chiefly in online discussion forums by users who say they or others have encountered inappropriate behaviour, have never resulted in widely reported legal action, but have nonetheless circulated within certain communities.

On social media, some viewers expressed discomfort seeing Kennor alongside Lower at a major industry event, arguing it can be upsetting to survivors of harassment when individuals alleged to have engaged in unacceptable conduct appear publicly celebrated. Others suggested that since there have been no formal charges or official reporting in mainstream outlets, reactions should be measured and focused on Lower’s work.

Supporters of Lower emphasised that an individual’s career and personal associations are distinct, and noted that an actor should not automatically be held responsible for their partner’s behaviour without concrete evidence or due process. Meanwhile, critics reiterated that public appearances by those linked to accusations can be triggering for alleged victims, especially when shared widely online.
