Brown sought an emergency restraining order, injunction and damages “arising from several past and threatened violations” of a confidentiality agreement Yazdi signed on May 17.

“After much deliberation, I have taken the necessary steps to enforce an agreement between us to maintain the confidentiality of our personal and professional matters and to protect my family from online harassment and speculation,” a representative said Brown told Fox News Digital in a statement. “My only hope is that we keep our affairs private and move forward with the mutual respect we agreed to show each other when we separated.”

@kelly_yazdi No one – not even Zac Brown with all his money, power, fame and lawyers – can silence my right to express myself freely through art or, although I have so far refused to do it publicly, to talk about the circumstances. of our impending divorce. I intend to respond quickly and strongly to his unfounded complaint that posting two poems on my personal social media account would have disclosed “confidential information” about his business, much less allow a court to subjugate me. prohibit me from speaking about matters in my personal life that have nothing to do with my brief prior work for the Zac Brown Collective, Inc. It is beyond ironic that Zac’s first act after filing an unnecessary public divorce action was to release a music video that deliberately mocked our wedding party a few months prior – including a false and defamatory caricature obviously intended to be me and to hurt me – followed by a second public trial and a second press release unnecessary and legally baseless, but he now claims his “only hope” is that we show each other “mutual respect” by keeping “private matters private” as we negotiate the terms of our divorce. In a misguided effort to achieve this, I have made no public response to these very public and very unnecessary personal attacks from my soon to be ex-husband. But it was clearly Zac, not me, who strategically chose to bring our difficult divorce negotiations into the public eye with these tactics in an attempt to portray himself as a victim and use his vast resources to prevent me to tell the truth about our relationship. marriage. It won’t work and he won’t silence me, no matter how ridiculous his tactics are. Like Zac, I also have lawyers and I will speak my truth in court – where he dragged me unnecessarily. 🦋 #ButterfliesDontBelongInNets ♬ original sound – kelly_yazdi
