Notably, the businesses they share are a real estate development company called Starwood Group, an entertainment company called Pure Productions, and a construction company called Millcreek Builders.

Unfortunately, there is more to the story involving Britani and her ex-husband. The RHOSLC star claims he violated a protective order that requires him to stay at least 25 feet away from her. Of course, this comes on the heels of Britani’s several allegations of abuse against her.
