Zac Brown’s Ex-Wife Makes Chilling Comparison Between Her Marriage to Zac and His Engagement to Kendra Scott

Zac Brown’s ex-wife Kelly Yazdi breaks silence, comparing her marriage to Zac with his new engagement to Kendra Scott, calling it “rinse and repeat.”

When it comes to Zac Brown’s love life, it’s starting to feel less like a rom-com and more like a reboot with a recycled script.

Kelly Yazdi, Zac Brown‘s ex-wife, isn’t holding back anymore. In fact, she’s laying it all out, one eerily familiar image at a time.

After a whirlwind relationship that ended in divorce just four months after their wedding, Yazdi has found herself not just single, but seemingly stuck in the legal cage match of the year. While Zac is out flashing diamond rings and walking red carpets with his new fiancée, Kendra Scott, Kelly’s been wading through lawsuits, restraining order attempts, and a whole lot of expensive legal chaos, all while still being dragged into the spotlight she never asked for.

And now? She’s flipping the script.

Yazdi posted a series of photos titled “Rinse and Repeat,” comparing snapshots from her time with Zac to his new engagement with Scott. And y’all… it’s uncanny. The matching beach serenades. The fishing trips. The hand-holding backstage moments with the band. Even the custom rings. If it weren’t for the different women in each frame, you might think you were watching a weird timeline glitch.

In her caption, Kelly didn’t hold back: “Every day I wake up to some carefully crafted love story, yet I’m still being buried in legal fees and told if I try to speak, I’m the problem.”

She says Zac asked her for a divorce over Zoom just nine days after their wedding reception, then tried to force her into signing a marital NDA. When she refused, things turned hostile. Zac allegedly used footage from their wedding in one of his music videos, replacing her with a lookalike model, and then came the lawsuits over a poem she posted to Instagram. From corporate espionage claims to accusations about violating her employment agreement, it’s been a long and ugly road.

Yazdi says despite their divorce being finalized back in January, Zac keeps her “tied up in expensive lawsuits” as a way to control and silence her. Her request? Drop the lawsuits. Reimburse her legal fees. Give her back her dog, Koa, the one she says she raised and named herself. She even tossed in a note about a Mercedes wedding gift that was allegedly regifted and spotted in Austin.

Kelly swears it’s not about revenge, just release. She said she’s not spiraling, she’s ascending, a line borrowed from a trending soundbite that fits her tone perfectly.

And just in case there was any legal wiggle room, Yazdi tacked on a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer at the end of her post. No trade secrets. No confidential info. No photos from employment. And definitely nothing that would count as “Coke vs Pepsi.”

It’s art, she says. And honestly? It’s powerful.

Of course, while she’s telling her story in imagery, Zac and Kendra are out living their engagement story with full media support and a “happily ever after” narrative. But for fans who’ve been following this saga, it’s hard not to squint at the similarities and wonder if Kelly’s got a point.

The two are set to go to trial this September, and because it’s an open courtroom, it’s about to get real public real fast. If there’s more to this story, and there clearly is, everyone’s going to hear it.

One thing’s for sure. Kelly Yazdi isn’t fading quietly into the background. She’s turning pain into creative protest, flipping the lens on a man who’s trying to write her out of his story. And judging by these photos, it looks like he might’ve run out of original material anyway.
