Zac Brown, the lead singer of the Zac Brown Band, has recently taken legal action against his estranged wife, Kelly Yazdi. Brown filed for a temporary restraining order in Georgia’s Fulton County in response to several Instagram posts made by Yazdi, including one where she accuses him of “narcissistic abuse.”
This legal move reflects the escalating tensions between the former couple.
Alleged Violation of Confidentiality Agreement
At the heart of the legal dispute is an employee and confidentiality agreement that Brown alleges Yazdi is breaching. This agreement, established in August 2022, aimed to maintain personal and business matters in confidence and protect Brown’s family from public scrutiny and harassment.
Brown asserts that Yazdi’s Instagram post violates the terms of their agreement, prompting him to seek legal recourse to safeguard his personal affairs.
Brown’s Perspective
In a statement provided to PEOPLE, Brown articulated his motivation behind pursuing legal action. He emphasized his commitment to upholding the confidentiality agreement and shielding his family from online harassment and speculation.
Brown’s primary concern appears to be maintaining privacy and mutual respect, despite the challenges posed by their separation.
Details of the Instagram Post
Yazdi’s Instagram post, dated May 4, is cited in Brown’s legal filing as evidence of her alleged breach of their confidentiality agreement. In this post, Yazdi shares her experiences, describing behaviors such as “gaslighting,” “threatening,” and “stonewalling,” which she attributes to narcissistic abuse.
Brown’s legal team has requested that Yazdi delete the post and refrain from making further public disclosures that violate their confidentiality agreements.
Background and Previous Announcements
Brown and Yazdi’s tumultuous relationship has been under public scrutiny since they announced their divorce in December 2023, just four months after their wedding. Despite their decision to part ways, they expressed mutual respect and a desire for privacy during this challenging time.
Prior to his marriage to Yazdi, Brown was married to jewelry designer Shelly Brown, with whom he shares five children. Their divorce in October 2018 marked the end of a 12-year marriage and introduced a new chapter in Brown’s personal life.
