The ex-fiancée of Shahs of Sunset star Mike Shouhed has allegedly filed a temporary restraining order against Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi.
According to People, who obtained legal documents and reported on their findings Tuesday, March 4, Paulina Ben-Cohen accused Gharachedaghi, 43, of assaulting her in a Los Angeles shopping mall on Friday, February 28.
Ben-Cohen, who dated Shouhed, 46, during 2020’s season 8 of Shahs of Sunset and announced his engagement to her via the former reality TV series in August 2021, alleged in the reported filing that Gharachedaghi “approached her from behind while she was shopping” at a Bloomingdale’s outlet and “forced” her to leave the store for a conversation Gharachedaghi “wanted to take place out of sight of cameras.”
Us Weekly has reached out to both parties for comment.
People detailed that the alleged restraining order also included claims that Gharachedaghi “began recording her on her phone, hurling derogatory and offensive remarks,” including “I’m going to f— you up, you will pay for this.”
The legal documents also include an alleged recount of the two women engaging with a security guard stationed in the shopping mall who witnessed the altercation. Ben-Cohen allegedly asked the guard to “escort her to her vehicle,” however, the “toy cop” gave her “a blank stare” before speaking into a walkie talkie.
Ben-Cohen also claimed she felt “scared” for her life as a result of the incident, and phoned 9-1-1 to file a police report before she was advised by an officer to “ask a judge for a temporary restraining order.”
The alleged filing has ordered Gharachedaghi to maintain 100-yard distance from Ben-Cohen and her two children, of whom she welcomed with ex-husband Tal Bahari prior to her relationship with Shouhed.
It is unclear when Shouhed and Ben-Cohen called off their engagement, however, the pair share a distressing history. Ben-Cohen sued Shouhed in March 2024 over an alleged 2022 domestic violence incident.
Us confirmed in March 2022 that Shouhed was arrested following a domestic violence incident. A victim was not named at the time.
After the 2022 arrest, Shouhed’s attorney Alex Kessel denied any wrongdoing on his client’s part.
