Shocking Arrest Drama: Kim Delaney Accused of Attempting to Run Over Husband!

BBG News

The actress, Kim Delaney, from the show NYPD Blue, won’t be prosecuted following her arrest on suspicion of felony assault against her spouse.

On Saturday, the 63-year-old actress and her husband, James Morgan, found themselves in custody after a two-day dispute between them.

As reported by Morgan, it was approximately two and a half years ago when his wife, Delaney, allegedly attempted to strike him with her car. Later, the authorities apprehended her and filed charges against her for aggravated assault that could potentially inflict severe physical harm.

Her husband was also charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, according to police sources.

On Tuesday, the celebrity made an appearance in court, and Los Angeles authorities decided not to press any charges against her or her spouse, as reported by TMZ.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office informed TMZ that they lacked enough proof to prosecute either of the individuals involved.

On Friday evening, as reported by law enforcement officials, it was alleged that Delany phoned the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, claiming that her husband had perpetrated domestic violence against her.

Morgan was said to have left their home after the alleged domestic incident. 

However, on a Saturday morning, Delaney contacted the police once more as Morgan had come back to their shared residence against Delaney’s explicit desires.

Deputies from the sheriff’s office quickly appeared to talk to Morgan, and in this discussion, he demonstrated a video claiming it depicted Delaney trying to hit him with her car.

After then speaking with the actress, police opted to arrest both her and Morgan at the scene.

Earlier reports by TMZ stated that Delaney faced charges for alleged felony assault, intending to inflict severe physical harm using her car, while her spouse was accused of a lesser offense, domestic violence, classified as a misdemeanor.

Based on information from law enforcement officials, it is reported that the actress faced charges connected to an incident where she allegedly drove her car towards Morgan, while Morgan himself was charged over their disagreement on Friday evening.

Following the altercation on Friday evening, it was reported by sources that paramedics arrived at the scene to check if Kim and John had been hurt. Once both of them were given a clean bill of health by medical professionals, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department escorted them both to jail.

Besides NYPD Blue, Delaney has also appeared on shows like All My Children and Army Wives, and taken on roles in series such as Philly and CSI: Miami.

Originally from Philadelphia, she started out as a model before turning to acting.

She earned a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 1983 for All My Children. 

However, her personal life has been marred by struggles with alcoholism and brushes with the law.

In January of 2024, Dzhamal Badalov filed a lawsuit against Delaney, accusing her of leaving the site after an incident in November 2022 where she is said to have struck him with her car.

In the documents obtained back then, eyewitnesses claimed that Delaney appeared to be driving recklessly before the supposed accident.

In his court case, Badalov claims that on November 2022, while he was waiting at a traffic light, Delaney supposedly collided with his bicycle.

According to Badalov, people who were present stated that the popular TV personality appeared to be erratically changing lanes while driving along Venice Boulevard, heading towards the intersection.

He said that the crash flung him from his motorcycle and into the intersection.

According to Badalov, Delaney first attempted to flee the scene after colliding with her bicycle, but bystanders stopped her from leaving.

It’s uncertain whether Delaney tried to contact Badalov or checked on his wellbeing after their encounter.

Subsequently, he asserts that the actress stepped out from her car and dialed someone unidentified on her phone.

On the other hand, Badalov claims that Delaney seemed confused during her phone call, which could imply that she might have been intoxicated by alcohol or some other substances at the time.

In my professional opinion, as a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share an account I recently encountered. A victim claimed that Delaney seemingly persuaded him to engage with an individual on the line, who supposedly proposed a sum of unspecified money in exchange for allowing the actress to depart without contacting the authorities.

Badalov stated that he declined the supposed proposal, and furthermore, he claims the individual on the call instructed Delaney to leave the area. However, it remains uncertain whether he overheard this instruction through the phone’s speaker.

Delaney allegedly drove away before police could respond, leading Badalov to file his lawsuit. 

In April 2024, it was mandated that Delaney should perform 50 hours of community service and finish the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Program (MADD), following the 2022 incident for which charges were brought.

According to RadarOnline, the celebrity was instructed that they should never drive a car without having a legitimate driver’s license on hand and proper auto insurance coverage.

2002 saw her apprehended in Malibu, California, when she declined a breathalyzer test following a traffic stop by the police, leading to her arrest on charges of possible intoxicated driving.

Later on, Delaney admitted guilt without contesting it for the given charge. This led to a financial penalty, an obligatory DUI class, and a two-year period of supervision.

The next year after leaving CSI Miami, it was said that she entered a rehabilitation facility.

2005 marked a significant turning point for her, as the complications linked to alcohol intensified, leading to the loss of custody of her 15-year-old son, Jack Cortese.

He stated that she endangered him by insisting he ride with her after picking him up from a party under the suspicion of being drunk. Additionally, he asserted that she encouraged his friend to join, although they declined due to her apparent inebriation.

Cortese also testified that it was not the first time that his mother had driven him while drunk.

Back in the whirlwind of September 2011, I found myself standing on stage at a glamorous event, celebrating the esteemed former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. But little did I know that my heart-pounding moment would soon turn sour. As I stepped onto the stage, I was filled with exhilaration and anticipation, only for it all to unravel as I began to speak. My words became a jumbled mess, slurred and incomprehensible, leaving the audience to assume that I had overindulged. The intoxicating effect wasn’t from alcohol, though – it was just my nerves getting the best of me on this unforgettable night.

She didn’t speak about the incident until 2012, and during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she explained that her delivery of the speech was affected due to feeling unwell and technical issues, but she did not bring up any allegations regarding substance use.
