DeAnna Pappas and Stephen Stagliano, former partners who announced their separation after 11 years of marriage in January 2023, have been in the spotlight recently due to a heated dispute. According to court documents, an incident occurred where DeAnna’s ex-husband, Stephen, allegedly accused her of being drunk. DeAnna, in response, filed a restraining order against Stephen to stay away from her.
In her statement, DeAnna recounted an altercation where Stephen attempted to smell her breath, and she felt threatened when he refused to leave her garage. The situation escalated with allegations of Stephen pushing her and eventually calling the police, claiming DeAnna was the aggressor. DeAnna voluntarily underwent drug and alcohol testing, which came back negative.
This tumultuous event has brought to light their strained relationship following their divorce, with DeAnna asserting that Stephen’s accusations are false and part of a ploy to alienate her from their children. The situation remains unresolved as both parties navigate the legal implications of the incident.
The application submitted by Stagliano includes a copy of their divorce agreement. According to the new documents, Pappas and Stagliano have mutually agreed to share joint custody of their two children.
