Overview
- News outlets on Tuesday, citing court documents, reported that a judge approved Brandon Barash’s request for an emergency restraining order and found Kirsten Storms is in a “mental health crisis.”
- The court has limited Storms to supervised visits with their 12-year-old daughter while the judge reviews whether to keep or modify the order this week.
- Barash’s December 2025 petition alleges prolonged housing and financial instability, including months without a fixed home, an eviction case, and a $5,000 loan he says remains unpaid.
- The filing also describes a May 2025 incident in which Storms told him she was experiencing delusions and hallucinations, was hospitalized on a psychiatric hold, and later faced a friend’s claim of possible Adderall misuse.
- Storms has posted videos alleging phone hacking and an apartment break‑in and says she contacted Franklin police, and outlets note many details come from Barash’s court filing and have not been independently verified; separate reporting cites her prior brain surgery and a 2025 aneurysm disclosure as health context.
