In the documents, Barash said those housing concerns, along with other alleged behavior, caused him “great concern of [Storms’] ability to adequately care” for their daughter.
E! News reported that it reached out to representatives for both Storms and Barash but had not received a response.
The timeline cited in court papers
According to People, Barash initially submitted the filing to the court in December 2025. The filing referenced several earlier incidents.
Barash alleged that in May 2025, Storms contacted him and said she was “experiencing delusions and hallucinations” and “didn’t think she should have the child for her parenting time.”
He also claimed that in November 2025, Storms called him and said people were breaking into her apartment and moving her belongings into her car to “mess with her.”
In the same filing, Barash said his wife, Isabella Devoto, helped Storms get into a hospital for mental health issues. According to People, the documents allege Storms was placed on a psychiatric hold. Barash and Devoto share a 3-year-old son, Joaquin.
Barash also said in the filing that one of Storms’ friends told him Storms had experienced “repeated episodes of melting down, being triggered, hearing things/voices that weren't there.” The friend also allegedly told Barash she believed Storms was abusing Adderall and possibly other substances.
Along with the restraining order request, Barash asked the court to order a mental health evaluation for Storms, to whom he was married for three years.
Storms had recently discussed her health and move from Los Angeles
Storms shared in January that she had been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. In October, she opened up on Instagram about leaving Los Angeles ahead of brain surgery.
At the time, Storms said the “biggest reason” for the move was for her and Barash’s daughter. She also wrote that she was relocating “for my physical and mental health. And my overall happiness.”
Storms also said she was relying on support from people close to her during the transition.
“There are a few really bad apples out there. We all know that,” she wrote. “But there are people in my life who I am truly thankful to know. One of those individuals just made a s--t load of sweaters with me. They are glorious.”
The court order turns a private family concern into a public legal matter, with a child’s care, medical claims, and custody arrangements now being handled through the court system rather than social media captions or industry gossip. Daytime drama has nothing on family court, but the stakes here are plainly real.
