Former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas Files Restraining Order Against Ex-Husband After Arrest

Pappas was arrested on February 27 following an altercation with Stephen Stagliano, who accused her of domestic violence and alcohol use, claims she denies.

DeAnna Pappas, former star of 'The Bachelorette,' was arrested on February 27 on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge after an altercation with her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano.
Pappas has filed a restraining order against Stagliano, alleging that he forcefully entered her garage, shoved her, and refused to leave during the incident.
Stagliano accused Pappas of being intoxicated, but she denies consuming alcohol and voluntarily tested negative for drugs and alcohol after her release on bond.
Court documents reveal ongoing custody disputes, with Pappas claiming Stagliano has coached their daughter to search for alcohol in her home to portray her as an alcoholic.
The former couple, who finalized their divorce in June 2024 after 11 years of marriage, share joint custody of their two children under an agreement that prohibits alcohol use during custody periods.
