Why did Zac Brown sue ex-wife Kelly Yazdi? New Instagram post reignites public feud

Kelly Yazdi posted a long message on Instagram on July 29 that pulled her feud with Zac Brown back into public view. She shared wedding photos alongside pictures of Brown with his new fiancée, jewelry designer Kendra Scott. Yazdi said she feels buried under legal bills and urged Brown to drop his lawsuit. She tagged the post “Rinse and Repeat.” She also asked Brown to return her dog.

Zac Brown announced his engagement to Kendra Scott via a post on July 24. Scott is a jewelry designer who has three children. Brown and Scott made their red-carpet debut at the American Music Awards in May.

Despite the happy news, Brown is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Yazdi, having filed a lawsuit in May 2024. Their four-month marriage turned into a series of court filings.

Kelly Yazdi asks Zac Brown to end his lawsuit and cover her costs

Kelly Yazdi used her Instagram caption to press Zac Brown to drop the case he filed against her. She said that legal fees have piled up and that she cannot keep paying without relief.

Yazdi demanded that Brown reimburse her for all her attorney costs. She also reiterated her request that he return her dog. Her tone remained firm but focused on her own rights and financial burden.

The legal fight began with a confidentiality claim in May 2024

Zac Brown filed the first lawsuit against Yazdi in May 2024, saying she breached a confidentiality agreement. He pointed to social media posts and a personal poem she shared online.

Brown asked the court to remove her content and bar her from making defamatory statements. Yazdi has argued in response that her posts did not violate any agreement. She says the real aim of his suit is to silence her.

A jury trial is set for mid-September in Atlanta

Both sides will face each other in court starting September 15, 2025, at the federal courthouse in Atlanta. The trial will examine whether Yazdi’s posts truly breached their agreement or harmed Brown’s reputation.

Each lawyer will present evidence and witness statements over several days. This date marks the next public step in what has been a private dispute turned legal battle. The outcome will shape any remaining claims.

Yazdi says she holds no ill will toward Kendra Scott

Despite her criticism of Zac Brown, Yazdi said she does not resent Kendra Scott in any way. She called herself “a girl’s girl” in an Instagram story and wished Scott well.

Yazdi stressed that her issue is with Brown’s legal approach, not with the woman he plans to marry. She said she hopes Scott is happy and that her fight is only with what she describes as Brown’s “control” tactics.

Zac Brown has not responded publicly

As of July 31, neither Zac Brown nor Kendra Scott has responded to Yazdi’s new comments. Their silence leaves fans wondering if either side will seek a private settlement before trial.

Observers are monitoring social media for any signs of comments or statements. Until someone speaks up, the public must wait for the courtroom. The coming weeks may bring new filings or a surprise resolution.
