Adam22 and Lena The Plug Testify in Court to Overturn Fake Restraining Order
Read, Watch or Listen
Adam22 and Lena the Plug are facing another fraudulent court filing, this time involving a restraining-order petition, TMZ reported July 31. The development follows a June divorce petition filed in Lena Nersesian’s name that she publicly denied authorizing, saying her identity and signature were misused. Los Angeles police reportedly investigated her identity-theft and forgery allegations, while additional court documents were later filed and served on Adam Grandmaison. The latest report says the same unidentified person connected to the disputed divorce filing submitted a restraining-order petition involving the couple. TMZ said it obtained the petition, but publicly accessible court records confirming the filing, its contents, or any judicial ruling were not located in this review. Earlier reporting independently established the disputed divorce filing and Nersesian’s denial, but did not establish that a court had declared those filings fraudulent. The couple’s new legal filing therefore remains a developing claim requiring primary-record verification.
