Shocking text messages reportedly sent by David Beador to his wife, Lesley Beador, were revealed in court documents she submitted with her request for a restraining order against him.
After Lesley, 41, was awarded a temporary restraining order against the Real Housewives of Orange County alum, 59, which requires David to stay at least 100 yards away from her, his alleged messages were shared, one of which seemingly gave a nod to his former wife, Shannon Beador, 60, and others that accused Lesley of having feelings for her ex, Eriks Pukke.
According to a September 16 report from In Touch Weekly, Lesley, who has been awarded custody of their three-year-old daughter, Anna, believes David has become increasingly hostile and verbally abusive.
On one occasion, on September 9, Lesley, who married David in 2020, recalled David lashing out after Eriks arrived at their home to pick up the two children they share.
“All the children were present and witnessed [David’s] behavior toward Eriks. It was very scary. I recorded this whole incident and will provide the videos to the court,” Lesley said. “All my children are terrified by David’s behavior.”
“After this incident I received about 59 harassing texts from [David] in a row telling me I was ‘having sex with him,’ ‘I should go have sex with him,’ and was accusing me of all kinds of things that could never be possible,” she continued. “[David] truly needs help. He gets in an obsessive mania state.”
Following the September 9 incident with Eriks, David allegedly told Lesley, “I’m leaving u … goodbye.”
“And you two love birds both call me the monster … you both stealing from me to support your baby daddy. I’m setting a boundary … Great your [sic] so toxic,” he continued in the reported messages. “You might be right…I have PTSD from you two love birds …. And your continued attacks on how I caused all the strife in your twos lives because I felt your baby daddy should pay child support for your two children and you two both felt I should happily pay and let [Eriks] off to spend his money on himself … at the end of the day, I am to blame because [Eriks] should pay child support … you said that over and over.”
“I’ll never forget … you two think this is MY FAULT! F*cking takers. You two f*cking monsters … I cannot believe and I’m so p*ssed at myself I put Anna, myself and my kids at risk because of your children’s father,” he allegedly continued.
Meanwhile, in response, Lesley told him, “Why don’t you see someone. You need a therapist.”
“I suggest you get off you a** this week [now] that Anna’s in school and look for a f*cking job,” he reportedly replied. “And at peace with leaving the two users and abusers as well … you two truly belong together … I saw him winking at you and you at him. It’s on my video. Two f*cking users. I can take Anna to game with me if you wanna go have sex with him. You two belong back together.”
“Please stop harassing me,” Lesley then begged.
During another argument in June, David supposedly brought up Shannon, telling Lesley, “Shannon is a saint compared to your evil.”
“Wow coming from you that’s wild. I have only seen people act like you in documentary or horror films. Be well! Please work and stop contacting me,” Lesley wrote back.
David reportedly went on to call Lesley a “manipulative liar” and an “evil woman,” telling her, “You will rot in hell where you belong.”
“Your gonna teach Anna to be evil like you? To treat men with such disrespect? She will be sadly lonely, just like you. You hated your father and you want Anna to hate hers. Your evilness. Hope you’re happy now you got your feeling out you f*cking psychopath,” he allegedly stated.
David was also said to have berated Lesley in an email sent in June, writing, “What did you steal from me today you f*cking thief??? What will I discover tomorrow?????”
In response to Lesley’s claims, however, David refuted the accusations and asked for her request for a restraining order to be denied.
As RHOC fans may recall, David and Lesley began struggling in their marriage in late 2022. And in the years since, he’s filed for divorce three times.
“Lesley routinely tells me I am abusive when I disagree with her or make my opinions known. She has a habit of texting me consistently for hours at a time, trying to spark a reaction out of me. I believe Lesley is angry because I cut off the unlimited spending ability on her credit cards over the weekend,” he explained.
Next month, during an October 3 hearing, Lesley’s temporary restraining order against David will be either extended or thrown out.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
