Braunwyn Windham-Burke says the lawsuit over back rent has ruined her reputation and is demanding it be thrown out of court.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, The Real Housewives of Orange County star’s estranged husband Sean Burke is demanding their landlord’s lawsuit be thrown out.
In newly filed documents, Sean denies owning the landlord any money. He claims to have sent some of the payments to her via wire.
In the response, which he filled out without a lawyer, accuses Ogden’s suit of being “vague” and “ambiguous.” He also says there is “no cause” for the eviction lawsuit.
Sean attached a bunch of bank statements which he claims show he paid a portion of the rent. Sean admits that some payments were made late and he still owes money.
However, he pointed to the pandemic relief that was in place by the government. He doesn’t believe the lawsuit should have been filed in the first place.
Sean also attached an email he sent to the lawyer who filed the suit. He wrote to them explaining his last payment was made on June 30th, which was 25% of the full arrears.
He told the lawyer, “Please be aware that our family is very public, and word of this filing has already hit many news channels in this country. It is severely impacting Braunwyn’s reputation and as a result her income.” He pleaded with the lawyer to drop the eviction lawsuit.
The court has yet to rule.
As previously reported, Braunwyn and Sean were hit with an eviction lawsuit last week. Their landlord claims the couple has refused to pay their $15,000 a month rent and wants them out immediately.
The landlord says Braunwyn leased the 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom, nearly 8,000 sq. ft. pad in January 2020. They agreed to pay $15,000 a month in rent for a one-year and six-month lease.
However, despite numerous demands for payment, the landlord says the couple has refused to pay the back rent.
The legal matter came a day before Braunwyn announced she was temporarily separating from Sean after 26 years of marriage. She said, “We are packing up this house, the one we filmed last year, and we are moving. We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart."
