Singer Frankie Valli‘s son, Emilio, has been granted a temporary restraining order against his brother, Francesco. In recent months, Emilio claims that Francesco has repeatedly threatened to harm him and their famous father.
The request for the restraining order was filed on April 8 by Emilio, 29, in Los Angeles. In the filing, Emilio stated that Francesco, 36, attempted to break into their father’s property on April 5. During the incident, while waiting for law enforcement to arrive, Francesco allegedly made multiple physical threats to harm or even kill both Frankie and Emilio. Emilio asserted that this behavior is part of a pattern that has persisted for several months.
Emilio indicated in the filing that the family believes Francesco is struggling with addiction to opiates. While Frankie has been providing financial support to his son, Emilio claims that the support is now conditional on Francesco agreeing to enter a residential drug treatment program. Furthermore, Emilio claimed that his brother damaged Frankie’s property and sold his personal belongings. Emilio expressed concern that Francesco’s threats and increased attempts to access their father’s property have intensified since cutting off financial support.
A representative for Frankie requested privacy for the family as they navigate these internal matters.
On April 10, Emilio’s restraining order was granted by a judge. The order stipulates that Francesco must have no contact with his father or brother and must maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from their homes, vehicles and workplaces. A hearing has been scheduled for April 29 to address the situation further.
Francesco is known for his acting roles in films like The House Bunny and Reach Me, while Emilio works in the real estate industry in Malibu.
Frankie, the frontman of the Four Seasons, has Emilio, Brando (Emilio’s twin brother), Antonia and Francine (daughters from a previous marriage with Mary Mandel) as his children. Frankie married Jackie Jacobs in June 2023.
The hit Broadway musical Jersey Boys is based on the Four Seasons’ rise to stardom.
