Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kelli Ferrell’s ex-husband, Mark Ferrell, is speaking out after alleged details about the pair’s past relationship and rocky divorce were aired on Bravo.
Mark denies Kelli’s abuse allegations and is threatening to sue Bravo.
“Today I end my silence. For three years. I watched my name dragged through the mud, my business stolen, my home taken, my children withheld, and my dignity attacked. The truth is simple. What happened to me was not justice. It was abuse of power,” Mark said during his press conference.
Mark and Kelli’s divorce has been finalized but he was jailed for nonpayment of child support.
He says his ex was playing up their divorce for the cameras.
“She wants to keep me down because without that storyline, she loses her platform,” Mark continued. “And Bravo, your hands are not clean. You gave airtime to lies that you knew could not be sustained, put my daughter on national TV without my permission, and built a storyline that destroyed my name for entertainment. This is defamation.”
“I inform the world that I intend to sue every party that has played a role in this,” Mark added.
It is reported that Kelli is returning to film for Season 17 of the show, but that she may have a diminished role, and appear as a “friend of” instead of a full-time Housewife.
