RHONY Jules Wainstein allowed to see kids again as restraining order is dropped- but she’s still facing assault charges
FORMER Real Housewives of New York star Jules Wainstein is allowed to see her two children again, as the temporary restraining order filed by her estranged husband, Michael, has been dismissed.
Court papers exclusively obtained by The Sun reveal a Florida judge dismissed Michael’s request for a no-contact order to protect him, their son, Jagger, and their daughter, Rio, from Jules on April 13, following her February domestic violence arrest.
According to the documents, the court “evaluated the presented evidence and the credibility of the Petitioner [Michael].”
The court “declined” to issue the request “due to the lack of credibility and evasiveness of his testimony.”
However, the no-contact order protecting Michael from Jules in the domestic violence criminal case remains active.
As The Sun reported, the former Bravo star was arrested for domestic battery against Michael during a custody exchange on February 23.
After the arrest, Michael requested a no-contact order for him and their two kids.
In the request, Michael revealed details from the incident, claiming Jules allegedly exited her vehicle “carrying a large baseball bat.”
He claimed in court papers that she went to the driver’s side window and began “hitting the baseball bat against the Petitioner’s driver’s side door.”
The court papers alleged: “She kissed and licked the driver’s side window while she was beating the car with the baseball bat.”
Michael claimed she was “swinging around a baseball bat and acting erratically.”
The court papers continued: ”[Jules] eventually put-down the baseball bat by attempting to hide it under the rear tire of [his] vehicle.”
Jules then opened the back door of the vehicle to let out their children.
When Jules realized Michael was recording her, he claimed she “screamed obscenities aloud at the Petitioner in front of the children” and “beat his face with her fists and attempted to smash his cellphone.”
The children were allegedly “screaming and crying” when she attacked him.
Michael was given custody of the minor children after her arrest.
He also alleged in the request: “The respondent’s behavior has become extremely erratic and aggressive, and the Petitioner believes it is fueled by illicit drug use.”
The Bravo husband claimed Jules has an “extensive habit of abusing cocaine and off-label prescription medication in connection with her admitted eating disorder.”
Michael requested Jules undergo hair follicle testing.
Jules underwent urine testing and the results were negative, according to court papers.
In Jules’ response to the restraining order request, she begged the judge to allow her to see her children after they were removed from her care on February 28.
She claimed that a New York City judge made a decision awarding her sole custody and decision-making for the kids.
She requested the court in Florida- where the family now lives- “modify/dissolve the temporary injunction as to the children and adopt the New York Post-Trial Decision.”
