The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Britani Bateman's ex-husband, John Underwood, landed in hot water last week after allegedly breaching a protective order. Court docs reveal a pattern of harassment that's got everyone side-eyeing this messy post-divorce saga.
Oh honey, if divorce drama had a VIP section, Britani Bateman's ex would be front row. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, John Underwood was arrested last week for violating the protective order Britani slapped on him back in 2023. And get this: his first felony court appearance went down in Utah on Wednesday, where prosecutors laid out a laundry list of shady antics.
Since the order dropped, John's been playing fast and loose with the rules—staring at her from the exact distance allowed (creepy much?), rerouting her mail like some postal prankster, and even tampering with her home's electrical box to cut the power. Talk about flipping the switch on civility! But the real tea? Earlier this month, he straight-up doxed her by posting her cell phone number on TikTok, captioning it, 'There ya go. Give her a call.' As a result, Britani's been bombarded with unpleasant texts from strangers and had unknown folks showing up at her door. Yikes.
The protective order bans all direct or indirect contact, yet John couldn't resist dropping comments on her social media posts. Prosecutors aren't having it. For the record, John is Britani's second ex— she divorced him in 2023 after her first marriage to J. Michael Bateman (split date? Still a mystery). These days, the quirky RHOSLC housewife is navigating an on-again, off-again vibe with Jared Osmond, Donny Osmond's nephew. We reached out to Britani's reps, but crickets so far.
Is this the final curtain on John's antics, or just another episode in the ex-files? Spill your thoughts, darlings.
