Dwight Howard‘s divorce from his ex Amy Luciani (real name Amber Howard) is heating up in the courts. A judge just granted Howard a protective order against Luciani as their legal battle intensifies.
The order requires Luciani to stay at least 100 yards away from Howard, his Georgia home, and two of his children. She’s also prohibited from contacting him through phone, social media, or any other means. According to court filings, Howard claims Luciani made serious threats against him—allegedly saying she would punch him in the throat and harm anyone in a vehicle with him during a recent incident.
Howard also accused her of attempting to interfere with custody arrangements and displaying what he described as a troubling pattern of behavior. The former NBA star stated that both he and his children are fearful. He further alleges that public claims made by Luciani have impacted his finances, costing him business opportunities and deals.
It’s worth noting that Luciani has made her own accusations in response. She’s previously claimed that Howard coached his children to lie to Child Protective Services and alleged substance abuse issues on his part.
With both sides making serious claims, this high-profile split shows no signs of slowing down. A court hearing regarding the protective order is set for April 13, where more details about the situation could emerge. For now, Dwight Howard and his family continue navigating major legal and personal stakes.
