She also claimed Morgan allegedly told her to buy a gun for him. According to the court documents obtained by the media outlet, Morgan reportedly got violent often, and the neighbors intervened multiple times.

"Whenever James gets mad, which is often, he will shout loudly, push me, hit me, pull my hair. Neighbors have heard the noise & intervened often in the past year. The Sheriff came in March 2022 and many times in 2023," the court documents stated.

According to the media outlet, the divorce case was removed because Kim Delaney didn't attend the June 2023 hearing, and similarly, the restraining order was dropped because she didn't appear in court in May 2023 to formalize or extend it.


Kim Delaney was arrested twice in the past

According to The Mirror's report, the actress was sued by a man in January 2024.

"I attempted to keep her from driving her car, but she was very demanding. My mother demanded that my friend go with us. He refused to drive with her because she was drunk. Unfortunately this is not the only incident in which I have seen my mother drunk. I do not want to be with her until she has completed rehab and is sober," he said.
