RHOA Star Kelli Ferrell Hit With Temporary Restraining Order After Allegedly Breaking Into Neighbor’s Home and Being “Physically Restrained” as She Speaks Out
Kelli Ferrell has been hit with a temporary restraining order after allegedly entering her neighbor’s home without permission.
Amid her court fight against her ex-husband, Chuvalo “Mark” Ferrell, the 40-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta star was ordered to stay 30 yards away from Monualda Cash, an HOA board member in her neighborhood, who accused her of breaking into her patio after violating the enclave’s rules.
According to a September 10 report from Us Weekly, Monualda requested the protective order against Kelli, who owns a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Atlanta, on September 2, claiming Kelli “aggressively entered [her] private patio, through [her] private gate in a violent manner” on August 9.
“This incident occurred after her vehicle was booted for again violating [guidelines] by parking in a narrow driveway which is also a designated fire lane,” she explained, adding that Kelli was “accompanied by others” and that there was video footage of the incident.
Monualda’s court documents went on to state that Kelli had to be “physically restrained and removed during which time she engaged in bizarre behavior while making a series of irratic (sic) verbal threats. Some of which were clear and others that were unintelligible.”
Monualda requested that Kelli be ordered to stop harassing and intimidating her, and to be kept away from her and her family, while also asking a court to force Kelli to seek appropriate psychiatric and psychological services. However, the judge only agreed that Kelli should be kept 30 yards away.
In response to the allegations, Kelli’s rep told Us Weekly, “Since the announcement of Kelli’s involvement with The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Mrs. Cash has engaged in a concerning pattern of behavior directed at Kelli and her family … Out of respect for all parties, we will not be commenting further at this time. We strongly urge that Kelli’s privacy — and that of her family — be respected, and we caution against the spread of misinformation.”
A September 22 hearing will determine whether or not the temporary restraining order will be made permanent.
In other Kelli Ferrell news, the RHOA star is currently in a legal battle with Mark, who filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy earlier this year, claiming he had $214,198 in assets and $383,231 in liabilities.
In court documents, Kelli asked that Chuvalo’s proposed repayment plan be rejected, claiming he did not disclose certain judgments.
“Clearly, [Chuvalo] is attempting to hide how much money he makes so he would not have to repay as much of his debts, and the [Chuvalo’s] proposed Plan payments does not apply the entirety of his income is left over after necessary living expenses and other financial obligations,” her lawyer stated.
But in a message from his rep to Us Weekly, Chuvalo denied her claims.
“[Chuvalo] has complied fully with all court requirements under federal bankruptcy law,” the rep said. “It is deeply troubling that, instead of seeking resolution through appropriate legal channels, [Kelli] continues to publicly attack [Chuavlo] — routinely omitting key facts — seemingly to support a public narrative rather than pursue genuine resolution,” the rep shared.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 is currently in production.
“I Had to Walk Away” — Neil Druckmann Breaks Silence on His Shocking Exit From The Last of Us HBO Series
Neil Druckmann Explains Exit From The Last Of Us HBO Series
Neil Druckmann finally spoke out about his shocking exit from HBO's The Last of Us ahead of season 3. The Last of Us is based on the hugely popular two-part video game of the same name, which was first released in 2013.
The Last of Us debuted to overwhelmingly positive reviews and a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The sophomore season has a 91% RT score, though it faced a lot more criticism, especially regarding Kaitlyn Dever's limited presence, which was odd considering how important her character Abby is.
The Last of Us season 3 has been ordered, but Druckmann left his role over the summer.
Druckmann spoke to Variety about the reasons why he left The Last of Us. He was very involved in the show at the beginning, which was "really hard work," but now "the path has been set," so he feels comfortable stepping away and going back to working on video games full-time.
He found it difficult to be a co-showrunner while also working on video games simultaneously.
When asked about the timeline of his decision to leave, Druckmann revealed that when press wrapped up for season 2 but before the writers' room for The Last of Us season 3 started, he assessed the situation and realized that he would be better served staying at video game developer Naughty Dog full-time.
He contributed a lot to the second season, including writing and directing some episodes, and he wasn't convinced that he could keep up that pace again.
His only involvement with The Last of Us season 3 will be at a "very high level" instead of "getting into the weeds" of the production.
What Neil Druckmann's Exit Means For The Last Of Us
Druckmann co-created The Last of Us video game, so his involvement in the TV show came as a huge relief to fans since it meant HBO would likely be filming a faithful adaptation.
Even though the second season received more criticism, it still has a high score on Rotten Tomatoes, so Druckmann succeeded in his role as a co-creator, co-showrunner, writer and director.
Those are a lot of roles for one person to have on a TV show, and adding in the fact that he was also still working at Naughty Dog, it became too much for him to take on.
If he had remained on The Last of Us, there's a chance he would have experienced burnout, which could have been detrimental to his health and the quality of the TV show.
Our Take On Neil Druckmann's Exit Explanation
As disappointing as it is to see Druckmann leave The Last of Us, no one can blame him for making a decision he felt was best for himself personally and professionally.
The upcoming season may not have Druckmann at the helm, but his exit paves the way for the producers and writers to craft a satisfying continuation that resolves the cliffhanger from The Last of Us season 2 finale and reveals Abby's backstory, which was teased at the very end of that episode.
