According to the documents, Barash's current wife, Isabella, helped Storms get hospitalized and placed on a psychiatric hold. Storms allegedly never acknowledged the experience after being released.

Additionally, according to the documents, Barash claimed that one of Storms' friends told him she had "repeated episodes of melting down, being triggered, hearing things/voices that weren't there." That same friend allegedly told him she believes the actress is abusing Adderall and other substances.

Storms had allegedly been couch-surfing between September 2024 and June 2025 because people were "following her and the child to her room," Barash claimed.

Earlier this month, Storms shared security camera footage on social media, claiming that an individual had broken into her apartment.

On Friday, Storms claimed she had been evicted from her apartment building.

Representatives for Storms and Barash did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Storms, who previously underwent brain surgery in 2021 to remove a noncancerous cyst that was causing symptoms, told her Instagram followers at the time that her neurosurgeon had been monitoring another cyst that wasn't removed during the first operation and discovered an aneurysm on the right side of her brain during a follow-up scan earlier that year.

The actress admitted she was "majorly freaked out" when the aneurysm was discovered, sharing that she felt "my brain seems to be sorta lowkey rebelling against me."

Storms explained in her Instagram post that her health struggles contributed to her decision to leave L.A.

"Aneurysms (obviously) can be caused by stress," she wrote. "Brain cysts? I believe that is possible too... and since the January scan showed a new, but very small, squatter (aka cyst) on my brain stem - it was clear I needed to change some things in my life asap."

She continued, "For my own 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."

In the caption of her post, Storms wrote that she also wanted to set the record straight after false online rumors circulated about why she had been hospitalized.

"A few days after I was discharged from the hospital, someone created a blog post that said I was in the hospital that weekend because I tried to 'unalive' myself," she wrote.

"I couldn't understand why a person would make up something that terrible, when they had no idea why I was really there," Storms continued. "There are a few really bad apples out there. We all know that…but there are people in my life who I am truly thankful to know."
