When requested about her present relationship with the 52-year-old disgraced filmmaker, Ambyr insisted it was vital to her to “talk only about the children” and “keep everyone accountable.” The You star continued:
“It’s hard and sometimes I just explain to my kids that two homes are sometimes better than one, right? Those are hard, hard moments and your kids at different stages of divorce will come and ask questions or they’ll hear things. That’s been the hardest part for me – knowing how to protect my kids but also to teach them how people should treat other people. Teach them that if you just lead with love and kindness and respect, that’s all we need. That’s all we need in the world. But some people don’t get that.”
For those that don’t recall, Ambyr and Randall haven’t had an amicable relationship since their divorce. She filed for a home violence restraining order towards the film producer, claiming she had “legitimate fear for [her] safety and well-being.” She claimed he was “physically and emotionally abusive” all through their marriage. Ambyr alleged he turned upset and ended up “squeezing with such force that [Ambyr] had difficulty breathing” when she refused to signal a postnuptial monetary settlement in 2015. A 12 months later, she alleged he introduced up the settlement once more and “attempted to strangle” her. Awful.
The mother additionally was searching for sole authorized and bodily custody of their youngsters after claiming Randall was being investigated by the FBI for alleged pedophilia. He denied the accusations, telling Page Six:
“I am not being investigated by the FBI nor anyone else, and the notion that I am is beyond absurd. Anyone can say whatever they want in a pleading; that doesn’t make it true. There is zero evidence that I’m being investigated for anything, and we still share 50/50 custody of our children. I am shocked and in utter disbelief that Ambyr would even hint at something so disgusting and untrue.”
Despite the Irishman producer being hit with extra severe accusations from others since then, the restraining order was dismissed. And the previous couple determined to work on a settlement. It’s no marvel co-parenting between them has been so onerous…
But one space that hasn’t been onerous for her these days? Her friendship with Lala Kent, with whom Randall additionally has a toddler. Despite having a rocky begin to their relationship, Ambyr expressed to Dailymail.com that she is constantly impressed by the Vanderpump Rules star:
“She’s a good mom… She really inspires me. She is a very hard worker. I really, really appreciate that and I find strength in that. Our relationship has not always been easy. We have had really bad moments and that’s okay because I had to go through what I had to go through and she needed to experience and go through what she did. I think we need to go through these things in life. If it’s not gonna kill you, it’s gonna make you stronger.”
She continued:
“And I know that’s such a cliché thing but oh my God! If I could look at my 19-year old-self that got married – that’s how young I was – I just want to hold her and say it’s okay and you’re gonna be okay and you’re gonna get through this… What we both have gone through has not been easy but guess what? We’re not the only ones in the world that have experienced everything – bad court systems, dealing with exes, dealing with… you name it. We’ve both been through a lot and at the end of the day we have beautiful, healthy children.”
At least, there’s a brilliant facet to this messy household state of affairs. It’s nice to listen to Ambyr and Lala are so shut now. Reactions to what Ambyr needed to say, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback beneath.
