AceShowbiz - Zac Brown's estranged wife Kelly Yazdi has broken her silence after filing a temporary restraining order against the country music star. On Sunday, May 19, Yazdi took to her Instagram account to address the divorce drama involving her and Brown.
"Hey everyone, it's Kelly. I wanted to get on here to share with you that I've included my written statement in the caption of this video," she said in a video. "This statement is very important to me, and I want to say thank you for reading and thank you for listening."
In the caption, Yazdi stressed that she refused to be silenced amid the drama. "No one - not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers - may silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce," she noted.
"I intend to respond swiftly and robustly to his meritless complaint that publication of two poems on my personal social media account divulged any 'confidential information' about his business, much less authorizes a court to enjoin me from speaking about matters in my personal life that have nothing to do with my brief former work for the Zac Brown Collective, Inc.," she continued.
The 33-year-old went on saying, "I have made no public response to either of those very public, very unnecessary personal attacks on me by my celebrity soon-to-be-ex-husband. But it is clearly Zac, not me, who has strategically chosen to drag our difficult divorce negotiations into the public eye with these tactics in an effort to portray himself as a victim and to use his vast resources to silence me from telling the truth about our marriage."
"It will not work, and I will not be silenced by him no matter how ridiculous his tactics. Like Zac, I have lawyers too, and I will tell my truth in court - where he has unnecessarily dragged me," she concluded.
Brown and Yazdi announced their split in a joint statement on December 29, 2023. "We are in the process of divorce," the former couple revealed to TMZ at the time. "Our mutual respect for one another remains."
The two added, "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."
