Country Music's Latest Scandal: Zac Brown, Kendra Scott, and the Divorce Drama Shaking Nashville
COUNTRY STAR ZAC BROWN'S LOVE LIFE IN SHAMBLES: EX-WIFE KELLY YAZDI FIGHTS BACK AGAINST CELEBRITY CHEATER!
The Nashville music scene is reeling from the scandalous divorce battle between country crooner Zac Brown and his ex-wife Kelly Yazdi. The drama-filled relationship has left fans stunned, and now insiders are spilling all the juicy details.
Brown, 47, shocked the world when he announced his engagement to southern jewelry designer Kendra Scott, 51, just two months after going public with their romance at The American Music Awards. But what nobody knew was that this wasn't Brown's first foray into love – he was still married to Yazdi, 34, who has been vocal about the end of their short-lived marriage.
The pair started dating in 2022 and tied the knot in August 2023, but it all quickly went south. Court documents reveal that Brown asked for an emergency temporary restraining order against Yazdi just four months into the marriage, claiming she was making damaging claims about him. But a judge later denied the request, leaving Brown's reputation tarnished.
Yazdi has been speaking out on social media about her tumultuous relationship with Brown, slamming him for using his PR machine to spin false narratives about her. In a scathing Instagram post, Yazdi wrote: "No one – not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers – may silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce."
She added that it was "ironic" that Brown filed a lawsuit against her while sharing a music video that mocked their wedding and painted her in a negative light. The video, 'Beautiful Drug' featuring Avicii, features a brunette woman partying, leading many fans to believe it's a cheap shot at Yazdi.
But what really gets under the skin is that Brown has been accused of copying his ex-wife's style – literally. In an Instagram post on July 28, Yazdi shared side-by-side photos of her and Scott's identical dates, including a romantic Bahamas serenade and an outdoorsy Alaska fishing trip. The resemblance was uncanny, with many fans commenting: "The rumor mill has it that my custom green Mercedes-Benz wedding present was actually REGIFTED and has been seen in Austin, Texas."
Yazdi believes Brown gave her car to his new bride as a gift, and she's not happy about it. In a recent Instagram update, Yazdi said the federal judge issued an order declaring that Zac's contracts – those he's been using to try to silence her – are UNENFORCEABLE as written.
"It's clear that Kelly is fed up with Zac's games," says an insider close to the situation. "She wants him to drop his ridiculous lawsuit against her... WITH Prejudice, meaning in legalese he cannot sue her again. And she's demanding reimbursement for the hundreds of thousands of dollars she's spent on attorney fees."
But what about Brown's new fiancée, Kendra Scott? Sources close to the situation claim that Scott is "keeping a low profile" as the drama unfolds. While fans are eager to see how this will play out in her relationship with Brown, insiders say she's "powered by purpose and faith" – a stark contrast to the tumultuous love life of her fiancé.
And it gets even juicier! As Brown prepares for his Las Vegas residency at the Sphere in December, he's reportedly going into debt to make it happen. An insider revealed that Brown wants to be among the ranks of legendary bands like the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones – but at what cost? It seems his love life is a constant drama-filled rollercoaster.
But don't count on Brown's relationship with Scott being a long-term commitment. Insiders say he feels "it would be three strikes and he'd be out if his relationship with Kendra fails" – a nod to his previous two marriages ending in divorce.
When the couple eventually weds, they'll be combining their families – Brown shares five children with his ex-wife Shelly Brown, while Scott has two adult sons with her former husband John Scott, and a young son with another ex, Matt Davis. Insiders say Brown "holds a dear place for his first wife" due to their shared children.
But what about Yazdi? She's not going down without a fight. As the court date approaches in December, fans are eager to see how this will all play out. Will Zac Brown emerge victorious, or will Kelly Yazdi finally get her day in court?
