In emails submitted to the courts Aryn brands Jesse emotionally and financially abusive...

RadarOnline.com has obtained a series of messages that Jesse and Aryn exchanged in the months before the actor rushed to court.
The Grey’s Anatomy star has pleaded for the judge to step in and allow the children to visit him. He said he doesn’t want to miss a “precious” moment with the children.
Jesse said his girlfriend Ciarra Pardo would be able to travel with the kids from California to New York.
Aryn fired back in an explosive declaration, “I am not in agreement with a 7yr and 8yr old being asked to fly overnight red-eye flights on a regular basis, missing at least 2 days of school per month. This was a temporary solution given for a temporary situation the first time. This is now a request that covers 8 out of the 12 months of 2022.”
“[Williams] is establishing a pattern of requiring the children to endure undue stress and fatigue to accommodate his inconsistent employment calendar, resulting in frivolous adjudication in the courts,” Aryn added.
Now, both parties have submitted messages they exchanged in the months before Jesse ran to court. In the emails from late April/early May — the two are fighting over the kids traveling to New York.
Aryn tells Jesse, “as much as you suggest that your nanny having them without you is good for them, it isn’t. It is a rollercoaster of confusion, inconsistency, and disruption. And they shouldn’t have to endure it. Noting that your nanny has never answered a Facetime call of mine. Though I could have the wrong number again, since you gave me the wrong number previously.”
“I will not tolerate any more of your threats nor any more of your pressure while you fake being the victim.”
“I am being harassed and bullied. I am a single mom with no family in town doing my very best to care for myself and our children while rebuilding after being hit with an abrupt 84% reduction in my child support.”
“I do not have extra money nor time to continue in this way with you, the attorneys, and everything that goes along with it. I am reorganizing and borrowing against my assets to make sure I maintain enough cash flow while I rebuild."
“The audacity that you have, playing victim about your last minute plane tickets, that you could have bought weeks ago btw, is insane, As per 3 of the 13 bank accounts that you turned over, you have millions of dollars in the bank, And this is without consultation on the other 10 bank accounts you didn’t turn over. The way you’re engaging with me is financially and emotionally abusive. And it’s enough already.”

Aryn hopes the messages will help her case when they go before the judge later this month.
