Josh Homme has shared a new and rare public statement about his ongoing legal battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle.The pair have been involved in a long-running public battle for custody of their three children.

Both Dalle and Homme filed their respective restraining orders against each other in 2021, while Dalle was convicted in November of that year of one count of contempt by a Los Angeles judge for “wilfully” failing to hand her five-year-old son over to Homme in September as part of an agreed custody deal.Now, Homme has shared a lengthy statement, giving an update and claiming that a new permanent restraining order was granted against Dalle for a period of one year and 11 months, meaning she is not allowed to contact the Homme family, including Josh, his parents and the former couple’s three children.“Out of respect and concern for his minor children and their well-being, Joshua Homme has previously refrained from making public statements about his family to the media,” the statement began. “In light of the continued falsehoods, the repeated invasions of the children’s privacy and the resulting emotional harm, it is time that the truth be told.

Our hope is that this will end the enquiries and speculation and provide the family the privacy and consideration they deserve.”It added: “For more than a year after the conclusion of their divorce proceedings, Joshua Homme and Brody Dalle were able to amicably co-parent their three children in a healthy and functional way.

The situation took a dark turn when Dalle violated the 50/50 custody agreement by withholding the children from seeing their father.
