In court documents obtained by a news outlet, David, 60, requested that a judge dismiss the protective order after being granted one in June. The court promptly honored his request, resulting in the expiration of the order mandating that Lesley stay 100 yards away from him and vacate their Newport Beach, Calif., home.

Last month, David claimed that Lesley, 41, "physically attacked [him], gouging large chunks of skin out of [his] arm" and repeatedly hitting his face during a reported altercation on June 11.

He alleged that Lesley also accused him of biting her after she put her fingers in his mouth.

Moreover, David expressed concerns about Lesley's motives for their marriage, asserting, "I have always been concerned that Lesley's relationship with me has been primarily based upon her desire to live a luxurious standard of living. In our case [it’s] not just a cliché that Lesley married me for my money. In our case it is a fact, she has made that very clear to me literally."

David referred to their marriage as full of "many ups and downs," noting prior divorce petitions and domestic violence restraining orders that have marked their relationship.

Notably, Lesley filed her own restraining order request against David last year, alleging that he sent "harassing texts" and exhibited "very scary … meltdowns," claims he denied.
