According to People, who obtained legal documents and reported on their findings Tuesday, March 4, Paulina Ben-Cohen accused Gharachedaghi, 43, of assaulting her in a Los Angeles shopping mall on Friday, February 28.
Ben-Cohen, who dated Shouhed, 46, during 2020’s season 8 of Shahs of Sunset and announced his engagement to her via the former reality TV series in August 2021, alleged in the reported filing that Gharachedaghi “approached her from behind while she was shopping” at a Bloomingdale’s outlet and “forced” her to leave the store for a conversation Gharachedaghi “wanted to take place out of sight of cameras.”
