Police have been called to Frankie Valli’s home following an alleged domestic dispute.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call from the Big Girls Don’t Cry singer’s Los Angeles home around 5:05pm local time on Sunday, TMZ reports.
A report claimed that someone had violated a restraining order related to a domestic dispute, an LAPD spokesperson told People magazine. The Four Seasons singer was granted a three-year restraining order against his son Francesco in April 2024.
According to dispatch audio obtained by People, a 38-year-old man was “banging on the door demanding entry”. Officers, including a police helicopter, responded to the home and found no evidence of a crime. The air unit then cleared the scene. Less than a minute later, another call was generated from the address for a “family dispute- restraining order violation”.
“This is a private family matter, and it was resolved before the authorities arrived,” a rep for Valli told People.
The restraining order was granted after Francesco attempted to break into Valli’s property two years ago. Valli’s younger son Emilio claimed that Francesco “repeatedly physically threatened to harm or kill” him and his father. In the filing, he noted that threats like this had been happening for “several months” but had escalated since Valli financially cut off Francesco.
Francesco was ordered to have no contact with Emilio or Valli and to stay at least 100 yards away from their homes, cars and workplaces. The restraining order is set to expire on 29 April 2027.
Valli shares Francesco and twins Emilio and Brando with his third wife, Randy Clohessy.
He had three daughters, Celia, Antonia and Francine, with his first wife, Mary Mandel. Celia and Francine died in separate incidents in 1980.
