Mustard wants to take his ex-wife, Chanel Thierry, because of her disparaging him on social media.
The four-time Grammy winner, real name Dijon McFarlane, is seeking sole custody of his three children with Thierry, whom he divorced in 2024 after four years of marriage. The ex-spouses share children Kiylan, 13, Kauner, 10, and Kody, 6, while the DJ and producer will soon welcome his second child with his partner, Brittany Stroud. The couple shares a daughter, who was born last year.
According to TMZ, Mustard and Thierry were previously ordered to split custody of their children, with the judge calling for the exes to avoid speaking in a "negative, disrespectful, or derogatory manner to or about the other" around their offspring.
In documents filed by the producer's attorney Samantha Spector, Mustard claims that Thierry violated the judge's request when she addressed him in multiple posts on Threads dating back to October.
“I have never in life met anyone more bitter than the person I am forced to deal with,” Thierry wrote in one post.
"How did a simple, ‘Can I have the football schedule?’ Turn into you updating your relationship status??! Sir I can give a fuck less if yall engaged! Congrats! Can someone please send me the mf schedule now!? DAMN!" she continued. "I’m really annoyed. I’ve asked everyone on that side for my baby’s stuff and they keep ignoring me. INSANEEEEEE."
In another post, Thierry called her ex-husband out by his legal name and accused him of "purposely" trying to agitate her.
The "Not Like Us" producer argues that the posts "negatively impact the best interests" of their children and "undermine the proper functioning of the co-parenting process." Additionally, Mustard wants his wife to fulfill $30,000 in sanctions for violating the judge's orders.
In the finalization of their divorce, Thierry received $315,000 in spousal support along with $24,000 in monthly child support.
