Jeff Lazkani responds to the Chelsea divorce drama and claims she’s ‘physically aggressive’

In the last few months, the news of Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani getting a divorce from her former husband Jeff has been everywhere. On the Netflix show, cheating allegations were made against Jeff, and then it was left with Chelsea removing her wedding ring.

Since the show was filmed, it’s been confirmed the former couple are now getting a divorce. On top of this, Jeff Lazkani has clapped back at what’s been said about him, in court documents from the divorce filing.

At first, it was reported Chelsea had filed, and simply cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason she was ending her nearly seven year marriage with husband Jeff Lazkani. But then things got really messy.

It was later reported she had called quits on the marriage with the father of their two young children because she believed Jeff had been cheating on her for a number of months. “Chelsea believes Jeff was unfaithful in their marriage and that is why she filed for divorce,” a source claimed to US Weekly. “The divorce has been looming for weeks now and she decided to abruptly file. She is completely devastated right now and is especially upset for her the sake of their children.”

The insider claimed the cheating “had been going on for months” and added: “She had suspected the cheating for a while and wanted to catch him in the act before filing. She finally had enough and decided to file this week, but it was a long time coming. She is still in the house with their kids. She wants him to stay out of the house, and they are not on speaking terms.”

As well as this, in a written declaration, Jeff accused Chelsea of being “physically aggressive”, and claimed this happened before and after she filed for divorce. He has claimed Chelsea “struck” him “in the face in an aggressive manner, breaking his glasses and causing a small cut on the side of his face.”

His claims added Chelsea “installed a lock on the primary bedroom” of their home and “monitors his access to the property, and records him at the property.” Jeff has now requested the couple should not live at their marital home together anymore, which he is claimed to be the owner of. He also alleged Chelsea “provokes” him in order to get video footage of him “overreacting” to her.

Chelsea had been married to businessman Jeff Lazkani since 2017, after they met on Tinder when Chelsea moved to America.
