While the press saw a blissful marriage, trouble was brewing in Paradise. Pietra had filed for divorce in 1997, which got the attention of the media. She filed for divorce because of irreconcilable differences, the model also filed for a restraining order against Billy in Los Angeles Superior Court.

From the court documents, she claims that Billy hit her, pushed her, punched her, bit her, and physically attacked her in the presence of her kids, who were 3 and 2 years respectively. Responding to these claims, Billy denied the allegations while expressing his concern for his boys. He had indirectly attributed Pietra’s act as one done under duress by her advisers.
