Zac Brown’s Ex-Wife, Kelly Yazdi, Claims He’s Been Using Lawsuits for Control

Kelly Yazdi, ex-wife of Zac Brown, shared an update on her ongoing legal battles with the singer. The pair divorced shortly after marrying in August 2023, just four months into their marriage. Despite a brief honeymoon period, their relationship quickly soured, with Zac Brown reportedly filing lawsuits against Yazdi, accusing her of defamation and controlling behavior.

Yazdi described Zac’s lawsuits as efforts to manipulate and silence her. She revealed that Brown first tried to force her to sign a marital nondisclosure agreement during their divorce proceedings, which she refused. She also accused him of using her wedding video in a music video, replacing her with a look-alike engaging in inappropriate conduct. In addition, she faced legal claims over a poem she wrote, which Brown argued violated her employment agreement with his company.

She shared that Brown even sought a temporary restraining order to silence her, which was denied in federal court. Despite their divorce being finalized in January, Yazdi claims that Zac has continued to use legal tactics to control her, including other costly lawsuits. The latest involves a jury trial scheduled for September 15, 2025, at the US District Court in Atlanta, Georgia.

Yazdi expressed frustration over being dragged into prolonged litigation, stating that the court has emphasized fairness and refused to allow bullying during proceedings. She hopes the upcoming trial will bring clarity and justice to her situation. Throughout the ordeal, she urges the public to review court documents for the truth, stressing her desire to finally put the conflict behind her.

Her story highlights a distressing pattern of aggressive legal actions, with Yazdi emphasizing her intent to stand up for herself and others facing similar control issues. The upcoming trial is expected to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding her marriage and ongoing disputes.
