'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' Season 5 star Britani Bateman has been in the middle of an explosive $2.5 million lawsuit battle with her ex-husband, John Scott Underwood. However, the latest court documents obtained by DailyMail have revealed more shocking details about the ex-couple. John is a business contractor, estate builder, and founder of PURE Production, a destination production company that focuses on global incentive trips.

Britani has claimed that John withdrew funds from their joint bank account without her knowledge or consent. In the court documents, the Bravo star accused John of "unauthorized expenditure of business funds on personal expenses, failure to add Britani to accounts related to the businesses of the parties, unauthorized draining of the account of the parties' business, and failure to operate the businesses consistent with the parties' historical manner." Additionally, John has reportedly failed to maintain the required 25-foot distance violating the Protective Order.
