While enjoying her retail therapy on Thursday she put on a busty display in a tight white dress with a plunging neckline that tied at her cleavage.

She further sparkled up her look with a daisy necklace and a pair of matching earrings. Her short tresses were parted on the side and styled in a voluminous look.
The outing comes after it was revealed that her estranged husband Jeff accused her of being ‘physically aggressive’ just days after she filed for divorce.
Jeff responded to Chelsea’s divorce filing on Tuesday, with his lawyer noting that he also wants a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason, according to People.
In a written declaration Jeff, who is a managing partner at Icon Media Direct, accused the reality star of being ‘physically aggressive’, and claimed it happened before and after she filed for divorce, following seven years of marriage.
The California native also alleged that the British-Nigerian realtor ‘struck’ him ‘in the face in an aggressive manner, breaking his glasses and causing a small cut on the side of his face.’
He also claimed that in order to maintain the wellbeing of their two kids, three-year-old daughter Melia, and son, Maddox, five, they both should not live at their five-bedroom Manhattan Beach home, which Jeff says he is the primary owner of.
Jeff went on to allege that Chelsea, who he said is not named on the mortgage, ‘installed a lock on the primary bedroom to’ his ‘exclusion, remotely monitors his access to the property, and records him at the property.’
The pair purchased the home for $2.9 million in 2018 and Jeff is asking for ‘exclusive use and possession’ of the home.

Additionally, Jeff alleged that she ‘provokes’ him and ‘records him in an attempt to catch him overreacting to her.’
He also accused Chelsea of ‘exhibiting suspicious behavior,’ and claimed a number of his ‘personal belongings’ have disappeared or were taken from their home after Chelsea filed for divorce.
Among the missing items is a scarf he received from a late matriarch in his family, his father’s hat, and a spare key to his car.
He claimed Chelsea confessed to moving his Rolex after he asked her where it was, and said she ‘has also been sneaking around the property and attempted’ to go into his room ‘when she thought he was not home.’
He is requesting that Chelsea have 48 hours to get her belongings from the property, and that she not be allowed inside for more than two hours.
He also wants ‘a neutral party’ present to assist them in dividing the items they might not agree on.
Jeff stated he was ‘stunned’ after finding out that Chelsea filed for divorce via a text message from TMZ, and had sent her a text message but she didn’t respond.
He said that same day her brother began sleeping at the Manhattan Beach home without notifying Jeff, and claimed the last time he slept in the home was the day he learned about the divorce.
He claimed that he hasn’t slept in the primary bedroom with Chelsea since shortly after they welcomed Maddox because of ‘post-pregnancy discomforts and sleep schedules’ and though he wanted to move back into the room Chelsea ‘refused’ after being ‘accustomed to her own sleep space.’

He also alleged that he discovered Chelsea had opened a separate bank account at that time.
He noted that he does not want the court to award spousal support to either one of them.
News of the pair’s divorce broke late last month. In legal documents, obtained by TMZ, Chelsea cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the official reason for their split.
She is seeking ‘joint physical and legal custody’ of her little ones with Lazkani.
Additionally, the TV personality has asked for spousal support from Jeff, but did not terminate his ability to request alimony himself.
The outlet pointed out that nowhere in her filing is a prenup mentioned, but ‘Chelsea is saying that their division of assets needs to be determined in court.’
Chelsea did not provide a date of separation and has already deleted nearly every trace of Jeff from her Instagram.
The former couple met on Tinder back in 2015.
Since she joined Selling Sunset on its fifth season, Jeff, who introduced his wife to her boss Jason Oppenheim, has made a few cameos.
In 2018, Lazkani described her spouse as ‘the most selfless, caring, funny, cheeky and most handsome person’ she knows.
‘I can’t describe how blessed I feel to share life and love with you,’ she wrote in a sweet tribute on their anniversary.
During an interview with DailyMail.com, Chelsea revealed they met online after she first moved to Los Angeles.

‘We spoke about 15 times before getting together. I don’t want to waste my time and give my energy to somebody if I don’t think it will be worth it. I felt like I knew him before we even met and the connection was immediate,’ she gushed in May 2022.
They married two years later, with Chelsea saying: ‘I just got lucky. My husband is amazing and I still wonder how I found this kind of love because it’s so hard.’
The duo wed at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California and enjoyed their honeymoon traveling across Thailand, Singapore and the Maldives.
Over the years on social media she declared their wedding date her ‘forever’ favorite day and told fans that she was ‘more in love’ than ever.
‘Happy Anniversary to my special, special husband. 100 more years of hugging, kissing and laughing. My forever love,’ she wrote on Instagram while reflecting on their marriage.
