A judge barred former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin from his home after his estranged wife accused him of "aggressive and unsettling" behavior, including following her around the house and into the bedroom, according to a report.
Glenna Bevin filed a motion last week asking the judge overseeing their divorce case to restrict her husband's access to their home in Anchorage without written permission from her and to limit conversations with him through a parenting application on a smartphone, Louisville Public Media reported.
In an affidavit filed with the motion, Glenna Bevin claimed the former Republican governor enters the home and hangs around for hours despite her requests that he leave, saying his visits are "disruptive to the household" where she lives with their two children.
He remains in the home in Anchorage, a suburb of Louisville, even after she goes to bed.
She said her husband tries to strike up conversations about their divorce.
When she refuses, "he follows me from room to room and even into the bathroom or my bedroom, disrespecting my privacy; to me his conduct is aggressive and unsettling."
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Angela Johnson gave Matt Bevin a week to remove his belongings from the home.
After that, he will need to get explicit permission from his wife or the court to reenter the home.
The two must also communicate solely through the parenting app.
"[Matt Bevin] seems to be trying to keep the parties' relationship and maintaining a 'business as usual' environment," Johnson wrote in her order. "However, the truth of the matter is that the parties are getting a divorce. Normalcy and the 'business as usual' environment are gone."
Matt Bevin, who served one term after being elected in 2015, lives in another home the couple owns.
Jesse Mudd, Matt Bevin's lawyer, told Louisville Public Media last week that his client "vehemently denies" the allegations in the affidavit.
He said Matt Bevin "is at a loss" why she would want him barred from the home.
