The argument between Pappas and her ex, who finalized their divorce after 11 years of marriage in January 2024, reportedly stemmed from accusations over her drinking.

The news of Pappas’ arrest came to light after Lynn Stagliano, alleged to be Stephen’s mother, mentioned the incident in a declaration filed on March 7 in the couple’s divorce, according to InTouch.In her filing, Lynn claimed that she “very clearly smelled alcohol on DeAnna’s breath” when she went to pick up Pappas and Stagliano’s son on February 26.The pair share two children: daughter Addison, 11, and son Austin, 9.In response to an ex parte application filed by Stagliano, which isn’t present in the court record, Pappas argued, “The basis of [Stephen’s] claim is his false assertion that I am an alcoholic.

This is entirely fabricated and is a tactic for [Stephen] to gain an advantage in his attempt to separate me from my children.”The exes had previously agreed to share joint custody of their children.Pappas further accused her ex-husband of having a history of “coaching our daughter to search for alcohol in the house.”She alleged that Stephen had taught their daughter to “literally sniff out alcohol and to turn her against me by making her think I am an alcoholic.”“I am not an alcoholic,” DeAnna stated.On March 7, DeAnna filed for a restraining order against her ex-husband.She claimed that on February 26, Stagliano came to her home to pick up Addison and said she accompanied their daughter to his car when he arrived.“Stephen told me I needed to walk closer to him because he wanted to smell my breath to.
