> In her December TRO filing, Ritter alleged, “Unfortunately, my former partner is extraordinarily powerful and capable and has used every mean[s] to block me from getting access to secure data, devices, finances, or businesses, or to simply live my life in peace.”
> Two days before the December filing, Ritter’s parents allegedly were followed to and from dinner at an LA restaurant by a pair of private eyes. The cops were called and when officers questioned the PIs, one said he worked for a “billionaire’s private security detail” and was “not going to wake him up,” according to the filing.
He does seem to have a lot of drama with previous his exes as well, this NYTimes article about his decades long messy breakup with his previous mistress was also crazy:
> Ritter filed for a restraining order against Schmidt, claiming he tried to force her to sign “a gag order on any sexual assault or harassment allegations.” She also alleged that Schmidt locked her out of housing and access to personal and business belongings in New York, Miami, and Aspen, and has pressed her into a costly arbitration process she cannot afford, which she describes as “a cynical effort to protect the dispute and win by economic and resource attrition.”
> The dispute also involves the Bel Air mansion at 1060 Brooklawn Drive, a 15,000-square-foot property Schmidt bought for $61 million. Ritter requested exclusive access to the property and protection for her dog, a German Shepherd named Henry. She has also moved into a more modest Beverly Hills apartment while the legal matters continue.
> The case further involves financial and operational issues with Steel Perlot, Ritter’s AI startup. Reports suggest the company struggled despite Schmidt’s investment, with payroll and credit card bills being covered by Schmidt’s family office. Ritter’s filings cite ongoing conflicts over Schmidt’s alleged attempts to suppress exposure of his misconduct and his handling of their business ventures.
> In a temporary restraining order (TRO) request that was later withdrawn, Michelle Ritter alleged that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt had recently locked her out of the website of her startup, Steel Perlot — an AI-focused venture firm that Schmidt had reportedly invested $100 million into, according to a source cited by The Post.
