In 2021, Shallow filed for divorce from her costar John Fincher, and their split quickly became contentious.

The following year, the mom accused her former partner of possessing "abusive and erratic" behavior, according to court documents.

"Without surprise, the Court denied Ms. Shallow's second attempt at obtaining a domestic violence restraining order against Mr. Fincher last week," Fincher's attorney Joy Stanley said in a statement.

"Last August 2021, Ms. Shallow filed a similar complaint and then quickly dismissed it and agreed to a 50/50 parenting share of their daughter. ... Mr. Fincher has no history of the behavior Ms. Shallow has accused him of," Stanley continued. "We trust the Court will rule accordingly. Mr. Fincher continues to seek a fair resolution in this matter in an amicable fashion."

The exes share one child Ama, and Shallow detailed a physical altercation that allegedly occurred in front of their daughter.

"I stood up with Ama in my arms and just as I was beginning to exit the van, John began to drive in reverse," the former boxer claimed. "Not only was the side door of the van still wide open, John could easily see that I was standing inside the van holding Arna in my arms.

"John displayed no concern for either Ama's or my safety, as he simply yelled at me to shut the door of the van," she added. "John stood over me screaming in my face that I destroyed his life, that I am a lying, cheating w---- and that he will never forgive me," the filing read. "He said he would kill my whole family."
