'SLOMW' star Jordan Ngatikaura's restraining order against ex Jessi Draper denied

The legal war between ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ stars Jordan Ngatikaura and Jessi Draper has taken a dramatic turn—with a judge denying Jordan’s request for a restraining order against her ex, ruling that the evidence presented did not meet the legal threshold for an order of protection. The decision, which came after a tense court hearing, is being seen as a major blow to Jordan, who had alleged a pattern of harassment and threatening behavior from Draper following their split. “The judge was very clear: the standard for a restraining order is high, and the evidence didn’t reach it,” a court insider revealed. Jessi, who has been vocal about her own grievances with Jordan in the press, was visibly emotional after the ruling, hugging her legal team before leaving the courthouse. Sources close to Jessi say she feels “vindicated” by the decision, believing that the request was an attempt to silence her. “She never wanted any of this to go to court,” a friend said. “She just wanted to be left alone.” Jordan’s representatives declined to comment on the ruling, but those close to her say she’s “disappointed” and considering whether to appeal or pursue other legal avenues. As the two former friends continue to battle in and out of court, the drama that once played out on reality TV has now spilled into the legal system—with no end in sight. For fans of the show, this is far from the final chapter.
