Cops rush to Frankie Valli’s Los Angeles home over family dispute between two sons
Police reportedly rushed to Frankie Valli’s home this weekend in connection with an ongoing dispute between the singer’s sons Francesco and Emilio.
Officers were called to the “Walk Like a Man” crooner’s Los Angeles residence around 5 p.m. local time on Sunday following a report that someone had violated a restraining order related to a domestic dispute, according to TMZ.
The outlet reported that the call involved a man identified as one of Valli’s three sons, but the person left the property before police arrived at the scene.
An insider, meanwhile, told the outlet that the person who showed up at Valli’s home was 36-year-old Francesco Valli.
But the “Sherry” singer’s rep reportedly told TMZ that the incident was a “private family matter” that was resolved before police arrived.
Valli’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The iconic Four Seasons singer, 92, was granted a three-year restraining order against Francesco in April 2024.
Valli’s eldest son had been accused of threatening to kill his father, allegedly owed his brothers tens of thousands of dollars and had spent time in jail following an arrest for drug possession.
The restraining order, which doesn’t expire until April 2027, reportedly said that Francesco couldn’t contact his famous father or his younger brother Emilio, 31.
Francesco was also ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from his dad’s and brother’s homes and workplaces.
Before the three-year restraining order was granted, Emilio had filed a temporary restraining order against Francesco in April 2024, The Post confirmed at the time.
Emilio claimed that his older brother “repeatedly physically threatened to harm or kill” him and their father in the court docs.
He also alleged that Francesco was “addicted to opiates” and relied on Valli’s help financially.
Valli, who has been married four times, welcomed Francesco with his third wife, Randy Clohessy, in 1988.
The “Rag Doll” crooner and Clohessy later welcomed their twin sons, Emilio and Brando, in 1995 before divorcing nine years later.
Besides his three sons, Valli also shared three daughters – Celia, Antonia and Francine – with his first wife, Mary Mandel. He and Mandel were married from 1957 to 1971.
However, Celia tragically passed away in a February 1980 car accident. Then, six months later, Francine died from an accidental drug overdose at the age of 20.
“Frankie is saddened by these unfortunate events and appreciates that his privacy will be respected as he works out these family issues,” a rep for the “Big Girls Don’t Cry” singer told The Post in April 2024.
“All families go through good and bad times, there are triumphs, failures and joys in every family across the nation, and the Valli family is no different, but because Frankie Valli is an icon, the magnitude of all of this is that much greater,” a person close to the Valli family added at the time.
