Zac Brown was reportedly granted a temporary restraining order against estranged wife Kelly Yazdi after suing her over an Instagram post.
The 45-year-old filed a lawsuit in Georgia Friday requesting “an emergency temporary restraining order, injunctive relief, and damages arising out of several past and threatened violations” of a confidentiality agreement that Yazdi had signed, Fox News Digital confirmed.
On Saturday, Entertainment Tonight reported that Brown had been granted the restraining order against Yazdi, which would require her to remove an Instagram post that he claimed had violated the confidentiality agreement and damaged his reputation.

The “Keep Me In Mind” singer also asked that the order prevent Yazdi from “making any defamatory, false, untrue, or otherwise damaging statements” about him, his family and members of the Zac Brown Band, according to documents obtained by NBC.

The documents did not indicate which of Yazdi’s Instagram posts Brown was seeking to have removed from her account, according to NBC.
The lawsuit said Yazdi had signed the confidentiality agreement during her employment with the Zac Brown Band from August 2022 to February 2024.
