The legal dispute between Jess and his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, is still going strong.
According to documents obtained by E! News, the Grey's Anatomy alum accused his ex of breaking the court's order during an April 3 orthodontist appointment, nearly two months after he was granted sole custody of their 11-year-old daughter Sadie and 9-year-old son Maceo's medical care.
The May 6 Ex Parte Request for a Temporary Emergency Order stated that Aryn aggressively told the doctor she does not consent to treatment and that she will SUE the doctor if he touches the children. This was during our meeting with the children's orthodontist, where we were to discuss, among other things, the doctor's strategy for treating Sadie's impacted upper right canine tooth and the growing cyst around her tooth. The orthodontist promptly asked us to leave.”
Williams, who was married to Drake-Lee from 2012 to 2017 before the two ended their divorce in 2020, said he left the doctor's office after apologizing for her outburst. In the filing, he added that Sadie and Maceo questioned him following the incident, asking, What's wrong with Mom? Have we been expelled? Why does she continue to act in this way? How come she won't let me get braces? Can we simply return without her?
In addition to destroying relationships with healthcare providers who are now terrified to treat our children for fear of her erratic and aggressive antics, the 43- year-old accused Drake-Lee, with whom he shares joint legal and physical custody, of jeopardizing their children's health and specific treatment.
Sadie has an impacted upper right canine and a cyst around the root, according to Williams, who also mentioned that Maceo requires braces. The orthodontist advised that Sadie's tooth be extracted and orthodontic treatment be started.
According to the documents shared, Aryn has shown that if she is informed about treatment, she will physically appear and sabotage the treatment, scarring and scaring the children in the process. I will not be able to get the kids any medical care because of Aryn's behavior.
He maintained that Sadie should not have to wait any longer for treatment because, if left untreated, her oral health problems could become complicated with more risks.
Aryn is not allowed to interfere with or communicate with the healthcare providers, and Williams is asking to be permitted to obtain healthcare treatment for the children without any notice to Aryn. In a hearing held on March 20, the Cabin in the Woods star stressed that he has sole legal custody to make all decisions related to the children’s medical, dental, and orthodontic care and treatment, according to the filing.
According to the court order, Drake-Lee has the right to attend all such appointments, and Williams was required to keep her fully informed of all medical, dental, and orthodontic appointments and treatment.
