Country star Zac Brown sues estranged wife Kelly Yazdi over Instagram post, wants restraining order: report
Zac Brown filed a lawsuit against his estranged wife Friday to remove an Instagram post from her account, claiming the post has severely damaged his reputation, according to a report.
Brown, 45, alleges that a post on 33-year-old model Kelly Yazdi’s Instagram account violated a confidentiality agreement she had signed with him, court documents obtained by TMZ showed.
The “Chicken Fried” singer is hoping a judge will prevent Yazdi from making false, harmful, or defamatory remarks
The “Colder Weather” artist is seeking emergency injunctive relief in the shape of a temporary restraining order that will force her to remove the post.
The court has yet to make a ruling on the matter, the outlet added.
In one of her posts on Instagram, before the lawsuit was filed, Yazdi was captured walking into a pool with a lengthy caption discussing an abusive relationship.
“Projections. Gaslighting. Threatening. Stonewalling. Those are the ingredients of narcissistic abuse,” part of the caption shared on May 4 read. “That ‘love’ is conditional. ‘Love’ disguised as compromise when in reality, it was control.”
It’s unclear if the post is targeting the “Knee Deep” singer while the court documents don’t specify which post is in question, the outlet said.
Yazdi describes herself as “a born adventurer, events producer, SAG-AFTRA actress, stuntwoman, and professional model,” according to her website.
Her acting credits include “Hawaii Five-0,” “The Beautiful Ones” and “The Martial Arts Kid.”
With Brown as its frontman, The Zac Brown Band has won three Grammy awards, including Best New Artist in 2010.
The “My Old Man” singer proposed to the model-turned-actress while vacationing in Hawaii in 2022.
The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Brown’s home state of Georgia last August before announcing their split four months later.
“We are in the process of divorce,” they told Page Six at the time.
“Our mutual respect for one another remains. We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time.”
However, there is no public record of a divorce case pending for the pair, but Brown’s attorney said he has just recently filed for divorce, TMZ reported.
Brown was previously married to jewelry designer Shelly Brown, with whom he shares five children: daughters Justice, 16, Lucy, 15, Georgia, 13, and Joni, 12, and son Alexander, 9.
They announced their divorce in October 2018 after 12 years of marriage.
