Real Housewives star's feud with ex heats up as he's accused of 'draining' bank accounts and 'cutting her off'

As I delve into this intricate tapestry of intertwined lives and relationships, my heart goes out to Britani. Her story is a poignant reminder of the complexities that come with love, marriage, and personal ambition.

As a passionate devotee recounting recent developments, I’m here to share that my involvement in the Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City has led to an escalating conflict with my former partner, John Scott Underwood. In a startling turn of events, I’ve publicly accused him of depleting our joint bank account and severing ties from our shared ventures.

According to newly acquired court records from DailyMail.com, Bateman, aged 53, alleges that his former business partner and property developer has been disregarding the Domestic Relations Injunction and a judicial order issued last year in connection with their divorce case.

The singer outlines in court papers the allegations against Underwood, which encompass: spending company funds without authorization on personal expenses, neglecting to include Britani in accounts concerning the parties’ businesses, unauthorized withdrawal of funds from the business account, and operating the businesses inconsistently with their usual practices.

In another document, we’ve listed some joint ventures such as Starwood Group, a real estate development firm, Pure Productions, which specializes in entertainment production, and Millcreek Builders, a construction company.

Moreover, Bateman alleges that Underwood repeatedly disregarded the protective order’s stipulation, which demanded a minimum distance of 25 feet between him and her.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Underwood’s attorney for comment.

For more than a year now, the safety regulation specifies that if one party finds themselves at the location of the other – whether it’s a workplace or business premises – the approaching party should maintain a distance of approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet) from the other to ensure safety and respect their space.

The regulation specified that each individual could only visit the country club on specific days based on their number. For instance, Bateman is allowed to go on the country club on even-numbered days of the calendar, while Underwood can go on odd-numbered days.

Moreover, Bateman alleges that Underwood illegally moved marital assets such as their joint business account funds and marital stocks, without obtaining Bateman’s approval. Additionally, she claims he redirected her personal mail and allowed her life insurance policy to expire.

According to the records, potential consequences for disobeying these orders could involve fines amounting to as much as $1,000 and imprisonment for up to 30 days.

Bateman is trying to obtain a court order that reflects the amount of personal expenses John Underwood covered with company funds, along with compensation for legal costs. Additionally, she aims to get an order directing Underwood to reinstate her access to all business accounts, record-keeping software, and related information, such as QuickBooks.

Underwood has been instructed by the court to show up at a forthcoming hearing towards the end of this month, where he can present his perspective. The judge will additionally decide during that hearing if he may have breached the orders stated within the Domestic Relations Injunction.

According to the divorce agreement, which was filed in October 2023, the court decided that both Bateman and Underwood have a right to an equal, likely 50%, share of any earnings stemming from their joint business ventures.

It’s not clear exactly how much money Britani might have been restricted from accessing, but in a court order filed a short while after the verdict, it was stated that each party could receive up to $22,525 for personal expenses. Any additional funds beyond this amount must be agreed upon equally by both parties when dividing the net earnings.

Britani, who’s planning to release a new EP soon, mentioned in May 2023 that her ongoing monthly costs amounted to approximately $66,077.25, while her projected monthly expenses were around $39,873.24 at that time.

Ever since I discovered the news on DailyMail.com, I’ve been utterly gripped by the tale unfolding around Bateman. It seems that aside from the ongoing legal battle we’ve heard about, she’s also taken her ex to court this time, claiming he’s deliberately caused emotional turmoil in her life.

The bombshell $2.5 million lawsuit details how she allegedly suffered ‘severe emotional distress’ during their six-and-half-year marriage.

In the complaint submitted in October 2023, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star presented instances of supposed controlling and abusive behavior. These examples encompassed situations where he reportedly dictated what clothing, makeup, perfume, and other beauty products Britani was allowed to wear or use, both when he was present and absent.

Additionally, the records suggest that Underwood insisted on frequent sexual encounters with her, often multiple times daily, and forbade her from expressing any discomfort or dissatisfaction regarding these encounters.

Furthermore, she mentioned that before their marriage, her production company was earning approximately $150,000 annually. However, John allegedly made Britani abandon her career and sell her company, resulting in a substantial loss of income estimated to be several million dollars.

The intentional tort complaint remains ongoing and the last filing was in February of this year.

Previously, Randy S. Keste, attorney for Underwood, disputed Bateman’s accusations by stating: “This is one of several troublesome lawsuits that Ms. Underwood has initiated, frequently involving false or exaggerated statements. At least three previous cases she instigated have already been dropped.

DailyMail.com reached out to Underwood’s attorney for additional comment on this story at the time.

In the December 4th episode of RHOSLC, I found myself at the center of a heated situation when Angie Katsanevas was asked to leave Meredith Marks’ bat mitzvah. Her actions towards me were unacceptable and led to my tears. She resorted to what felt like ‘slut shaming’ and made disparaging comments about my wardrobe and personal life, which I found particularly distressing.

It was alleged that Katsanevas claimed Bateman was involved intimately with multiple men simultaneously, however, there was a dispute among opponents as to whether Katsanevas stated Bateman was sleeping with three men or ten men.

Previously shown, Bateman had been romantically involved with Jared Osmond. However, following their split, she introduced a different gentleman at Katsanevas’ anniversary celebration.

Jared, who’s related to Donny Osmond, shared with DailyMail.com in an interview that Britani is ‘an absolute angel’ and ‘the most kind-hearted individual,’ even though he’s been bombarded daily with around 200 messages filled with hostility following the accusation of a negative portrayal.
