“This is not just one man’s fight — it’s a case that raises national questions about judicial accountability, abuse of power, racial bias in family courts, and the influence of entertainment media on legal proceedings," the news release says.

Ferrell was married to Kelli Ferrell, who joined “Real Housewives of Atlanta” on season 16. Kelli is best known as the co-founder of the famed Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles, which has locations in McDonough and now Sandy Springs.
