David Beador files for restraining order against wife Lesley after alleged attack and gay claim

David Beador has filed for a restraining order against his estranged wife Lesley Beador.

The ex-husband of “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Shannon Beador accused Lesley of physical abuse and called her a “pathological liar” in court documents obtained by People.

“Lesley has physically abused me on several occasions and only a small portion of those incidents have been detailed in previous domestic violence actions,” David’s petition for protection that he filed on June 17 states.

“Lesley is a pathological liar and she will state under penalty of perjury literally anything that will benefit her,” he also claimed.

David, 60, accused Lesley, 41, of marrying him for money.

“Lesley and I have had many ups and downs in our marital relationship, with prior [divorce petitions] filed and dismissed and domestic violence restraining orders,” the petition reads. “I have always been concerned that Lesley’s relationship with me has been primarily based upon her desire to live a luxurious standard of living.”

“In our case [it’s] not just a cliché that Lesley married me for my money. In our case it is a fact, she has made that very clear to me literally.”

David claimed in the docs that the two had an argument on June 11 and that “Lesley physically attacked me, gouging large chunks of skin out of my arm.”

He alleged she also shoved her fingers in his mouth, accused him of biting her fingers and slapped him in the face multiple times.

Two days after the altercation, Lesley accused him of being gay, which he denied, People reports.

David and Lesley share a 4-year-old daughter, Anna Love. The court ordered that Lesley stay 100 yards away from David, his home and his work, except for custody exchanges with Anna.

She also must vacate his Newport Beach, Calif., home.

Page Six has reached out to David and Lesley for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Lesley filed her own temporary restraining order against David for domestic violence in September 2024. She claimed David was verbally abusive and harassed her in front of Anna as well as as her two other children with ex Eriks Pukke.

“I never know when [David’s] next meltdown will be or how long they will last,” she claimed in her filing.

“These meltdowns when they occur are nonstop, even when he is working and they cause me to live in fear and to worry about the effect on the children.”

David filed a response to Lesley’s restraining order request, accusing her of “pure extortion.”

“She is upset because I cancelled her credit card with unlimited spending. I am not required to sustain her lifestyle,” he claimed at the time.

David and Anna got married in October 2020, three years after he split from Shannon. Shannon and David were married for 17 years and share three daughters.
