Robby Hayes Says Jef Holm Is The One 'Harassing, Physically Abusing And Making Threats Of Violence' After Restraining Order Is Dropped
Bachelorette alum Robby Hayes has broken his silence after former roommate Jef Holm filed a restraining order against him due to alleged harassment and then dropped it.
The 34-year-old told Page Six that Holm is the one who was in the wrong.
"Just imagine, coming home from a four-day work trip and your roommate, Jef Holm, who’s actually been the one harassing, physically abusing, and making threats of violence and throwing your personal belongings to the curb has broken down the door to your room, moved all your stuff out, and changed the locks," he told the publication.
"Then, in an attempt to keep you away from your home, files a … legal document to get a restraining order in place where you couldn’t even step within a 100 yards of the place you’ve called home for 4.5 years, leaving you and your puppy homeless," he added.
"Jef Holm completely disregards other people’s feelings, well-being or the consequences of his actions," Hayes alleged. "I just want to be able to feel comfortable in my own home without feeling like I can’t leave my room for concern for my own safety."
"I’ve delayed my response to the media because of this concern for my safety and the safety of my belongings," he said of why he didn't comment on the restraining order sooner.
The 37-year-old alleged in court documents that Hayes "used to live at my house but does not now. He continues to enter the premises & harass me & I do not feel safe around him. He threatens me and still hasn’t stopped to this day. He claims he has belongings there & that’s why he enters but he is not on the lease and is making me fearful."
Holm reportedly did not attend a hearing on Monday, August 30, to determine if the temporary order should be made permanent. As a result, the case was tossed out by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.
"Tensions died down as I hoped," he told E!. "I haven't seen any reason to continue with the restraining order, so I dropped it. Like I mentioned before, I wish him the best."
It's unclear when the former pals fell out. Hayes is said to have first met Holm at a party in his home. The hunk and fellow Bachelorette star Chase McNary were offered to move into the Los Angeles pad in 2017.
Holm appeared on season 8 of The Bachelorette in 2012 and won Emily Maynard’s heart. Hayes competed on The Bachelorette in season 12 and came in second place.
