Zac Brown, Ex-Wife Escalate Legal Dispute Ahead September Trial

Country singer Zac Brown's tumultuous breakup with ex-wife Kelly Yazdi has escalated amid his engagement to jewelry designer Kendra Scott, with Yazdi publicly criticizing Brown and drawing parallels between her relationship with him and his new one. Brown filed a lawsuit against Yazdi in May 2024, alleging defamation and breach of confidentiality related to a poem she posted on Instagram, while Yazdi countersued, accusing Brown of harassment and misuse of private wedding footage in his music videos. Yazdi has taken to social media to call out what she describes as a recurring pattern of behavior by Brown, highlighting similarities between his relationships with her and Scott, and expressing frustration over ongoing legal battles and legal fees. The case is set for trial in September 2025, with Yazdi demanding Brown drop the lawsuit, return her dog, and stop silencing her. Despite the legal and personal disputes, Brown and Scott announced their engagement in July 2025, prompting Yazdi's highly publicized social media response titled "Rinse and Repeat," which features side-by-side comparisons of both relationships. The ongoing conflict reveals a complex mix of legal, personal, and public relations challenges for Brown as he navigates his new romance amid unresolved issues with his ex-wife.
