Beleaguered producer Randall Emmett slammed the allegations against him in a defiant Instagram video he posted Thursday.
His post came on the day it emerged that his ex-wife Ambyr Childers, with whom he shares his two eldest daughters London, 12, and Rylee, nine, was granted a temporary restraining order last month.
In a filing late last month, Childers claimed the FBI had contacted her about Emmett’s “suspicious activities with child exploitation and pedophilia.”
However, in his new Instagram video, Emmett dismissed the allegations as “cancel culture” and claimed that he had gotten “confirmation” that “the FBI has never been investigating me and is not investigating me because there is nothing to investigate.” ‘.

In addition to London and Rylee, Emmett also shares a one-year-old daughter named Ocean with his ex-fiancée Lala Kent, who has accused him of infidelity and abuse.
Emmett has strongly denied Kent’s claim that he “attacked” her during a dispute when she confronted him about allegations that he had been unfaithful.
“Happy Friday everyone”, began his new video on Thursday. “I’m in a place where I felt like I had to come here and say something that was actually the truth compared to, you know, the last 11, 12, 14 months where things have been said about me. Everything under the sun, you know: narcissistic, cheater.
Emmett stated: ‘But at the end of the day, you know, I took the right path because I have three beautiful girls that I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want to have to do this. But at this point, you know, the lies have been stretched too thin.
Developments: His post came on the day news broke that his ex-wife Ambyr Childers (pictured) was granted a temporary restraining order against him last month.
He stated: “We spent today getting confirmation, because we knew there was no veracity to any of this, that the FBI has never been investigating me and is not investigating me because there is nothing to investigate.”
Emmett, whose producing credits include The Irishman, argued that “unfortunately in this culture, you can say whatever you want and then it gets written about and then that, you know, is considered ‘truth’ in this cancel culture.”
He stated, ‘I’ve been a dad for a long time, I have custody of all my children and I have custody of all my children because I’m a good father and I’m a good person. And at the end of the day, you know, that’s the most important thing.
Emmett concluded, “At the end of my life, no matter what, I will look my three daughters in the face and they will know that their father was a great father.”

Nearly two months after she first filed for a restraining order against her ex-husband, Childers finally got one three days before Christmas.
Emmett, 51, was ordered to stay 100 yards from Childers, 34, to whom he was married for eight years from 2009 to 2017, according to los angeles times.
He was also prohibited from contacting Childers, unless it was a “brief, peaceful interaction” about visits with London and Rylee.
Childers’ first application for a domestic violence restraining order was denied due to lack of evidence, though she filed a new application, after she was contacted by the FBI, she says.
Suspect: She claimed in the application, filed in late December, that the FBI contacted her on December 6 and asked about Emmett’s “suspicious child exploitation and pedophilia activities.”
She alleged in the request, filed in late December, that the office contacted her on December 6 and asked about Emmett’s “suspected child exploitation and pedophilia activities.”
She said in the statement that the FBI call caused “extreme destruction and disruption of [her] emotional calm and peace of mind.’
She added that she was concerned because her daughters “are often alone” with their father.
Childers went on to request that she does not want to “take the risk” of her children being with Emmett if “federal police serve an arrest or search warrant on him or his premises.”
Disturbed: She added that she was disturbed that her daughters are ‘often alone’ with their father
An FBI spokesperson told the Times that they were “unable to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation” due to FBI policy.
While Childers did not comment for the report, Emmett himself vehemently denied that the FBI was investigating him.
“(I am not) being investigated by the FBI or anyone else, and the idea that I am is beyond absurd,” Emmett said in a statement.
“There is no evidence that he is being investigated for anything. I am shocked and completely incredulous that Ambyr would even hint at something so disgusting and untrue,” Emmett added.
Denied: While Childers did not comment for the report, Emmett himself vehemently denied that the FBI was investigating him.
Emmett, who shares legal custody of their children with Childers, maintained that her claims were “designed to harm my career without any evidence.”
However, after Childers filed the petition, the Times spoke to three other people who were also contacted by the FBI about Emmett and provided them with information.
While Childers’ request for a temporary restraining order was granted, a hearing for her domestic violence restraining order will be held on January 12.
Custody: Emmett, who shares joint legal custody of his children with Childers, claimed his claims were “designed to harm my career without any evidence.”
Emmett’s attorney, Heather M. Patrick, claimed that attorneys for both sides were working to “comprehensively resolve the baseless allegation,” though Childers’ attorney, Larry Bakman, disputed this.
The court issued protection orders against Randall Emmett based on a prima facie showing of abuse. If Emmett claims that he is lying, he should take the matter up in a court of law instead of the media,” Bakman said.
Bakman added: “I can confirm that Emmett’s previous attorney never reached out to discuss the settlement,” and he was “open to discussing the terms and conditions of the settlement on my client’s behalf.”
Disputed: Emmett’s attorney, Heather M. Patrick, claimed that attorneys for both sides were working to “comprehensively resolve the baseless allegation,” though Childers’ attorney, Larry Bakman, disputed this.
Emmett came under fire in June when an LA Times investigation accused the producer of trading acting roles for sexual favors.
The investigation also added that he still owes millions of dollars to various investors and that he forced attendees to engage in illegal behavior on his behalf, all of which Emmett denied.
Childers claimed in his latest court filing that Emmett was “physically and emotionally abusive” while they were married.

She added that when he asked her to sign a post-nuptial financial agreement in 2015, and she refused, he got so upset and put his left hand on her neck, “squeezing so hard that [Childers] he had difficulty breathing.
Childers claimed that in 2016, when he brought up the proposed deal again, Emmett, “again tried to strangle” Childers.
Emmett’s trial attorney, Suann C. MacIsaac, said in a separate statement: ‘Mr. Emmett strongly denies all the allegations in Ms. Childer’s recent statement.’
