Jesse Williams Scathing Email To Ex-Wife Aryn Drake-Lee Revealed In Court, Accuses Her Of Playing Games
Jan. 20 2022, Published 12:51 p.m. ET
Actor Jesse Williams is ready to fight his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee over her demand for primary custody.
As RadarOnline.com first reported, last month, the mother of the Grey’s Anatomy star’s 2 children filed a motion to modify the current court order.
The couple settled their nasty divorce in 2020 — agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of their kids. Williams also agreed to pay $40k a month in child support.
Drake-Lee claims Williams’ behavior has been erratic since the custody order was entered. She claims he cancels time with the kids often and fails to notify her of his work schedule.
She wants the court to strip him of joint custody and only allow him visitations throughout the month. Drake-Lee also filed a declaration in which she claimed Williams throws a fit every time they have a dispute over custody.
Drake-Lee claims the actor threatens her and calls her names. She even accused him of threatening to call police out to her home if she doesn’t give him to his demands.
Williams has yet to respond to the request in court but RadarOnline.com has obtained emails he sent his ex showing his frustration with her behavior.
On August 19, Williams wrote a lengthy email to Drake-Lee after he wrapped a movie in Atlanta. He told her about another project he would be working on in New York during September and advised he wanted to see his kids.

He denies Drake-Lee’s accusations that he canceled time with his children. “I tell you the schedule provided me, when I have it, while always trying to carve out time to travel to see the kids.”
“Obviously tv/film production schedules are subject to change,” he explained. “You’ve been around them for 15 years.I share what I know. You constantly manipulate to steal our time together. You constantly demand information then manipulate and lie about the very information you receive.”
Williams said he was “trying to understand your objective and thinking in order to figure out a new way to proceed.”
At the time, the former couple were arguing about him seeing the kids once he returned to California. “Why would you get to obstruct that by refusing to give them to me until a week from tomorrow? What do you get out of that?” he asked.
He continued, “So, what is your actual goal here? Without all the posturing and performance ust, what do you want? Just to hurt me? For the kids to have as little contact with their father as possible? o have complete control of their exposure to me?
Williams ended, “What’s that like not having someone constantly trying to snatch your kids away and control you’re every moment with them? We could just be decent. This is not a way to live Aryn. Get it together. “
A hearing has been set for April where the exes will face off.
