Legal troubles are brewing for NCIS star Diane Neal, as court documents obtained by Page Six reveal allegations of her threatening behavior towards her ex-boyfriend, J.B. Benn, and his dog, Charlie.
According to the documents, Neal is accused of making violent threats against Benn and his pet, which were recorded in audio evidence. In a lawsuit filed in 2019, Neal claimed that Benn had defrauded her, mistreated her pets, and engaged in manipulative behavior. Additionally, she accused him of physical and sexual assault against herself.
The tumultuous relationship between Neal and Benn, which commenced in 2013 and ended in 2018, has spiraled into legal battles. Neal took action by reporting Benn’s alleged actions to authorities, expressing distress over the contents of the recorded audio.
Despite the legal drama, fans of the actress have expressed hopes for her to headline her own spin-off series, reflecting her popularity on NCIS. Amidst such issues, individuals facing similar challenges can seek support from resources like the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.
