Zac Brown's Love Life Under Scrutiny: Ex-Wife's Bold Instagram Move

New York City, USAMon Aug 04 2025

Instagram Post Fuels Tensions

Zac Brown, the renowned country singer, finds himself in the midst of a contentious legal battle with his ex-wife, Kelly Yazdi. The situation escalated on Tuesday when Yazdi posted a series of photos on Instagram. These images were intended to draw parallels between Brown's new relationship with jewelry designer Kendra Scott and their own marriage.

Side-by-Side Comparisons

Yazdi's post featured side-by-side images of her and Brown alongside Brown and Scott, emphasizing similar activities and moments. The post aimed to highlight what Yazdi perceives as eerie similarities between the two relationships.

The legal disputes between Brown and Yazdi commenced in May 2024. Brown accused Yazdi of defamation and violating a confidentiality agreement. This followed Yazdi's Instagram post of a poem that Brown believed was about him. The poem referenced a love that was "conditional" and "disguised," but ultimately about "control."

Brown's Allegations

Brown claimed the poem was defamatory and that Yazdi had forwarded sensitive business documents to her personal email. Yazdi, however, has a different narrative. She alleges that Brown began complaining about her posting modeling photos on Instagram just months after their marriage. Additionally, she claims Brown used their private wedding video in a music video, replacing her with a lookalike model.

The Model Controversy

The model in the video was seen dancing and taking pills. Brown countered that the footage with the model was shot in 2018 and that Yazdi wanted footage from their wedding video included in his music video for the song "Beautiful Drug."

The lawsuit is ongoing, with a trial scheduled for September. In a TikTok video, Yazdi expressed her frustration, stating, "Why this guy just won't leave me alone, I don't know." She also mentioned the emotional and financial toll of the legal battle.

Brown's Response

A representative for Brown responded to Yazdi's Instagram post, calling it a shame that she attempted to "overshadow a joyful milestone with desperate fiction for clicks." The representative also stated that Yazdi's comments are "categorically false and a work of pure imagination."

Yazdi's Stance

Yazdi told HuffPost she had no additional comments and that her Instagram post "speaks for itself." She expressed her eagerness for their dispute to receive a public hearing before a jury.
