Reality Star Denied Unsupervised Access to Her Child Following Court Ruling
A reality television star from Utah is no longer allowed unsupervised visits with her two-year-old son. This ruling was handed down following concerns about her explosive conduct during altercations with the child's father.
Concerns from Both Parents
The court commissioner expressed worry over the claims of both parents. He highlighted that even if the child's father was intentionally trying to provoke a reaction, the resulting actions were highly disturbing.
The ruling has set the stage for an upcoming court hearing. During this, the commissioner will evaluate the two parents' separate requests for protective orders against each other.
Protective Orders and Accusations
The father of the child, who shares custody with the mother, has appealed to the court to turn a temporary protective order against her into a permanent one. The mother also filed her own request for a protective order shortly before the latest hearing. Both parents participated remotely, while their attorneys were present in court.
Lawyers representing each side, as well as a court-appointed attorney for the child, addressed several heated and sometimes violent interactions between the parents. Some of these incidents were captured on video, revealing details from protective order filings that had previously been kept confidential.
Violence and Accusations
One such incident involved a heated argument in a vehicle. The father claimed that the mother threw a drink at him during an argument, while her attorney countered by claiming that the father had physically assaulted her, providing photos of her injuries as evidence.
These incidents, along with a separate altercation, are currently under investigation by local law enforcement.
Child Safety Concerns
While both parents agree that the mother did not intentionally harm their son or her other children from a previous relationship, her propensity to engage in violent behavior in their presence is concerning.
The child's court-appointed lawyer mentioned a video from 2025 that shows the mother pushing the father and yelling at him to leave her house while he's holding their child. Her inability to control her temper, as demonstrated in the video, raised concerns about the safety of the child.
Allegations of Manipulation
However, the mother's attorney claimed the father intentionally provoked this behavior by refusing to leave her house while holding their child.
The father's lawyer argued that the mother uses their shared child to continue a cycle of abuse that keeps the father entangled in their toxic relationship. She claimed that the child is often used as a means to instigate fights.
Temporary Custody Arrangement
As per the court ruling, the mother, who previously had primary custody of the child, is now allowed eight supervised hours per week with her son. This arrangement is temporary and will be reviewed during the next hearing.
Impact on the Star's Career
This ruling came after the cancellation of an entire season of a reality show that featured the mother in the main role. The cancellation was prompted by a leaked video showing the mother physically assaulting the father while her young daughter watched and cried.
This altercation was a key storyline in another reality show featuring the mother. The incident was included in the first episode, alongside footage from the police body camera showing the mother's arrest.
The mother was charged with aggravated assault and other crimes, including domestic violence in front of a child. She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge, and the rest of the charges were dropped.
The mother's attorney stated that while public opinion might be against his client, the court needs to base its decision on evidence and facts. He expressed confidence that the upcoming hearing will reveal the true instigator of violence in the relationship.
Personal and Professional Changes
Production has also been put on hold for another reality show featuring the mother. She gained popularity as an influential figure in a community of women sharing their lives online. Her open admission of polyamory within this group helped spawn a hit reality show.
Recently, the mother announced her departure from a widely known religious institution. She expressed her enduring love and respect for the organization but declared it was time for her to detach herself from it.
