NY Post
DeAnna Pappas, who starred as the “Bachelorette” on Season 4 of the hit ABC show, was recently arrested following an altercation with her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano, The Post can confirm.
Pappas, 43, was booked on a misdemeanor charge in Santa Clarita, Calif., on Feb. 27 at 5 a.m. and posted a $20,000 bond the same day. InTouch was the first to report the story.
The former reality star is now seeking a restraining order against her Stagliano, 40, according to the outlet.
The argument between Pappas and her ex, who finalized their divorce after 11 years of marriage in January 2024, reportedly stemmed from accusations over her drinking.
The news of Pappas’ arrest came to light after Lynn Stagliano, alleged to be Stephen’s mother, mentioned the incident in a declaration filed on March 7 in the couple’s divorce, according to InTouch.
In her filing, Lynn claimed that she “very clearly smelled alcohol on DeAnna’s breath” when she went to pick up Pappas and Stagliano’s son on February 26 to take him to school.
