Kirsten Storms’ Phone Hacking Claim Is Being Investigated by Police After Ex Granted Restraining Order

In the legal papers, Barash alleged his concerns started after they moved separately to Tennessee after their divorce. Storms’ landlord went on to sue her for eviction, and “instability with housing” went on to become a “recurring theme” for the actress.

Barash claimed via his filing there were several issues that caused him “great concern of [Kirsten’s] ability to adequately care for the minor child.”  He also claimed Storms has had “repeated episodes of melting down, being triggered, hearing things/voices that weren’t there.”

In his request, Barash asked for the court to order Storms to undergo a mental health evaluation. Storms is currently allowed supervised visitation with their daughter. A judge is scheduled to review the status of the restraining order.

Us Weekly has reached out to Franklin Police Department and Storms for comment.

Storms announced via Instagram in July 2025 that she was stepping back from General Hospital, where she had played Maxie intermittently since 2005, due to health and personal issues.

“I had a procedure done that weekend, where the doctor [threaded] a camera from my leg up to my brain,” she explained, recalling how her doctors discovered an aneurysm on the right side of her brain. “Aneurysms, obviously, can be caused [by] stress. Brain cysts? I believe that is possible too.”

Storms continued: “It was clear I needed [to] change some things in my life ASAP. For my personal reasons, no longer living in Los Angeles was very important to me. The biggest reason for the move was Harper, but a lot of it was for my physical and mental health, and my overall happiness.”
