Representatives for Jules did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
As Us Weekly notes, Michael and Jules ended their marriage in 2016 and have been locked in a contentious divorce ever since. She previously accused him of being unfaithful in their marriage, prompting him to allege she assaulted him before this most recent incident in 2012.
The outlet reports that child support payments have become an issue for the couple in the past as well. In October, Jules revealed to Bravo that she was relocating until her divorce could be sorted out.

"Until my divorce is over, I'm temporarily living in Boca [in Florida] at my parents, which actually happened to be a nice thing because unfortunately my father just recently passed away," she revealed in an interview with “Life After Bravo.” "So we got to spend the last year with him, which we wouldn't have spent as much time if we were living in New York. So we'll be there until things settle, and then hopefully we'll move back soon."
