Things have been looking up for Stone Temple Pilots since the release of their self-titled album that arrived back in March, as well as recruiting Jeff Gutt on vocals. While the group are gearing up to hit the road next month on the Revolution 3 tour with Bush and The Cult, TMZ has reported serious accusations against guitarist Dean DeLeo. Jenn DeLeo recently filed for divorce on the guitarist admitting his history with infidelity, being abusive, and his drunken behavior.

TMZ mentions Jenn claimed his behavior began shortly after they were married as well as when their 6-year-old daughter was born back in 2012.

Documents obtained by TMZ has also addressed the following:

“She says he started abusing alcohol and drugs, and once took their baby into the ocean “while he was completely inebriated” … nearly letting her drown.

According to the docs, Jenn says Dean physically assaulted her months later after another drinking binge when she found him in the garage passed out with the car running and the garage door closed. She claims when she woke him he got angry, vomited, then threw her around and almost killed her. She says he’s attempted to strangle her several times over the years.

Jenn also accuses Dean of abusing his son from a previous marriage and telling her he could have his ex-wife killed … which makes her constantly live in fear. Jenn claims Dean’s temper is so out of control, she and June always walk on eggshells. And, she says he’s threatened suicide if she leaves him … saying she’ll find him hanging like their personal friend, Chester Bennington.

Dean allegedly assaulted Jenn once again before Thanksgiving 2017 when she confronted him about his extramarital affairs. Jenn says she was going to press charges but changed her mind to avoid ruining the holiday … but now wishes she had.”

Jenn expressed her thoughts via Twitter:

While these are serious accusations against Dean, we are still uncertain whether it’s true or not. The guitarist has not yet responded to the allegations.
