Kirsten Storms Gives Update on ‘Difficult’ Legal Drama With Ex-Husband After His Restraining Order
Storms says records support her claims as she weighs a return to General Hospital while focusing on her daughter and recovery.
- On Sunday, General Hospital actress Kirsten Storms posted on Instagram to address public stories about her ex-husband's claims, asserting she reported an apartment break-in to the Franklin Police Department before Brandon Barash filed anything in court.
- Barash filed a petition in December 2025 alleging Storms had a 'history of substance abuse and mental health issues' and suffered a 'psychotic breakdown,' leading to a temporary order of protection granted in April 2026 over custody of their 12-year-old daughter, Harper Rose.
- Evidence submitted to the Franklin Police Department reportedly shows unauthorized access to Storms' WiFi and cellphone while she attended medical appointments in St. Louis, with authorities conducting an investigation into the alleged privacy violations.
- Addressing her professional future, Storms wrote she cannot feel comfortable returning to Los Angeles, calling the situation an 'eye-opening experience about the downside of my profession' while emphasizing her daughter is her 'first priority.'
- Managing a brain aneurysm discovered in January 2025, Storms expressed confidence remaining in Tennessee, stating she has 'no doubt this will be handled in the correct way' and thanking followers for their encouraging support.
