Luke Broderick hit by shock restraining order after off-camera brawl leaves crew member with a dislocated shoulder and a $38K hospital bill — “He lost control completely,” witness says - suong

Luke Broderick — the usually mild-mannered fiancé of Kristen Doute — is now at the center of a shocking scandal that’s sending shockwaves through The Valley set. DailyMail+ can exclusively reveal that Broderick has been slapped with a temporary restraining order after an off-camera altercation turned violent, leaving a veteran crew member hospitalized with a dislocated shoulder and spinal trauma.

According to legal documents obtained exclusively by this outlet, the incident occurred on June 18 during a closed-set pickup shoot at a rented property in Encino. Multiple production staffers had reportedly expressed frustration over Luke’s increasing “on-set volatility,” but no one expected the outburst that unfolded.

“He completely lost control,” a production insider tells DailyMail+. “One second he was arguing about lighting cues, and the next, he shoved [a crew member] so hard they crashed into a stone wall. The sound was sickening.”

Emergency services were called, and the injured crew member — whose identity is being withheld for legal reasons — was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Medical records show the patient suffered a dislocated shoulder, fractured wrist, and required spinal alignment therapy, racking up over $38,000 in immediate treatment.

The fallout was swift.

A restraining order was filed the following day, citing Broderick as a “violent and unpredictable threat to production safety.” The document, signed by a Los Angeles judge, prohibits him from contacting the injured party and mandates he remain at least 100 yards away from all current Bravo production sets until a formal hearing.

What’s more disturbing is what insiders claim happened after the cameras stopped rolling.

“He tried to play it down like it was a misunderstanding,” the same insider said. “But several crew members are now saying this wasn’t the first time he’s gotten physical off-camera. This time, someone just got hurt bad enough to speak up.”

Kristen Doute, who had recently been seen publicly defending Luke amid cheating rumors, has gone completely silent on social media since the news broke. Sources close to her claim she’s “devastated” but “trying to keep filming going despite the blowback.”

A representative for Bravo refused to comment on the legal matter but confirmed that “a safety review of all The Valley cast interactions with crew is underway.”

Meanwhile, Luke Broderick’s team issued a brief statement to DailyMail+:

“Mr. Broderick denies all accusations of intentional harm and is cooperating fully with legal counsel. He looks forward to clearing his name.”

However, new whispers from inside post-production hint that Luke’s role in the upcoming reunion may be scrapped entirely, with producers scrambling to re-edit key episodes to minimize his presence.

“He was supposed to be part of the emotional arc this season,” a network source said. “Now he might be the cautionary tale.”

Whether or not the case moves forward, one thing is certain — Luke Broderick’s good guy image has taken a devastating hit… and this time, it wasn’t caught on camera.
