‘Selling Sunset’ Star Chelsea Lazkani’s Husband Accuses Her Of Hitting Him In The Face & Being ‘Aggressive’ Amid Their Divorce
Update (April 4, 2024): Chelsea Lazkani’s husband is making a few claims against the reality star amid their divorce.
Jeff Lazkani filed his own documents this week, which were obtained by Page Six, and alleged that Chelsea Lazkani has been abusive throughout their marriage.
He alleged that she showed “suspicious behavior” throughout their seven-year marriage, and accuses her of theft. He added that she has
“demonstrated that she is capable of being physically violent and aggressive.”
Giving one example, he claimed that roughly a year ago, the Selling Sunset star,
“struck [him] in the face, breaking [his] glasses and causing a small cut on the side of [his] face.”
He added,
“I have never put a hand on [Chelsea] in a physically aggressive way. I am concerned about what [she] will do if she is permitted to remain in the same residence as me.”
He claimed it is “not in the best interest” of their two small children for them to continue living in the same home, and asked that she be ordered to leave.
Continuing, Jeff Lazkani said he and Chelsea Lazkani have not slept in the same bedroom since after the birth of their oldest child, who is 5, due to “post-pregnancy discomfort and sleep schedules.” He said he wanted them to go back to sleeping together, but Chelsea allegedly said no.
He went to allege that she has been “physically aggressive” toward him and
“Would start an altercation with me, only to pull out her cell phone and record my response, as if to try and catch me speaking in a hostile or aggressive manner after provoking me by being derogatory or disrespectful to me.”
Still, he said he was “stunned” when TMZ reached out to him via text that Chelsea had filed divorce papers last week.
He noted that since then, several items have gone missing such as a scarf left to him by a late member of his family, and the spare keys to his Jeep. He said that his $30,000 Rolex has also gone missing and he’s “concerned that her brother helped her take” the luxury timepiece.
Original Story (March 28, 2024): Chelsea Lazkani and her husband are going their separate ways.
The Selling Sunset star, 31, filed for divorce from Jeff Lazkani, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
She put “TBD” as their separation date, so it’s unknown when they split. However, she has deleted all photos of him from her Instagram profile.
Chelsea Lazkani, who shares son Maddox, 5, and daughter Melia, 3, with the advertising agency managing partner, asked the court for joint and physical legal custody of their little ones. She also wants Jeff to pay her legal fees.
The soon-to-be ex-spouses met in 2015 and tied the knot in 2017. Ahead of their wedding, Chelsea Lazkani, who is from London, said she unexpectedly moved to California after meeting Jeff.
She captioned a photo on Instagram at the time,
“Almost 2 years ago I came to Los Angeles for what was meant to be a ‘short break’. I stayed because I fell in love…It was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
She has since deleted the post.
Chelsea had previously opened up about her romance with Jeff, noting in 2022 that they met on Tinder.
“We spoke about 15 times before getting together. I don’t want to waste my time and give my energy to somebody if I don’t think it will be worth it. I felt like I knew him before we even met and the connection was immediate.”
She added,
“I just got lucky. My husband is amazing and I still wonder how I found this kind of love because it’s so hard.”
Chelsea has been a staple on the real estate reality show since joining season 5 in 2022. Viewers of the Netflix series have seen her lavish lifestyle as she sells luxurious multi-million dollar homes.
