The Real Housewives of Atlanta just got even messier — Kelli Ferrell’s ex-husband, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell, has filed a jaw-dropping $200 million lawsuit against Bravo. He claims the network and producers defamed him by airing false abuse and fraud allegations during Kelli’s debut season.
According to court documents, Mark says Kelli fabricated a storyline accusing him of stealing a $420K restaurant loan and being abusive — accusations he insists are completely untrue. He alleges Kelli misused the loan funds herself and then spun the drama for TV, damaging his personal and professional life.
Mark is demanding $100 million for reputational harm and another $100 million in punitive damages, hoping to hold Bravo accountable for airing what he calls “knowingly false claims.” The explosive lawsuit could shake up reality TV and raise new questions about how far producers will go for ratings.
