Zac Brown Obtained Temporary Restraining Order Against Ex-Wife: Report

Zac Brown reportedly obtained a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife Kelly Yazdi after he sued her over an Instagram post.

The 45-year-old filed a lawsuit Friday in Georgia, seeking “an emergency temporary restraining order, injunction and damages arising from several past and threatened violations” of a confidentiality agreement that Yazdi had signed, Fox News Digital confirmed.

On Saturday, Entertainment Tonight reported that Brown had obtained a restraining order against Yazdi, which would force him to remove an Instagram post that he said violated the confidentiality agreement and damaged his reputation.

The “Keep Me In Mind” singer also requested that the order prevent Yazdi from “making defamatory, false, untrue or otherwise harmful statements” about him, his family and members of the Zac Brown Band, according to documents obtained by NBC.

The documents did not indicate which Instagram posts Yazdi Brown sought to remove from her account, according to NBC.

The lawsuit says Yazdi signed the confidentiality agreement during his employment with the Zac Brown Band from August 2022 to February 2024.

Fox News Digital has contacted Yazdi and a representative for Brown for comment.
