Lark Voorhies is truly in love with second husband Jimmy Green and wants the world to know her surprise April wedding was not a sham. “He’s not [taking advantage of me],” Saved by the Bell‘s Voorhies, 41, told Entertainment Tonight on July 8 in a joint interview with her husband of three months. “We’re selectively together for all the right reasons.”
Voorhies’ comments come two weeks after her mother, Patricia Voorhies, filed a restraining order against her new son-in-law. According to Patricia, she was forced to file after music producer Green continued to sleep at her home and argue with her.
Green and his new mother-in-law had made an agreement that he would spend nights at his own home. In the paperwork obtained by TMZ, Patricia reportedly once found Green asleep in her closet, and after waking him up, Green allegedly yelled: “You motherf–king woke me up, ain’t that a bitch.”
Since then, Lark told ET, her mother has warmed up to her son-in-law and feels differently about their quickie marriage. “The support was there. It’s all celebratory,” Voorhies said.
In her original filing, Patricia said Lark lived with her because she was “psychologically, mentally, and emotionally fragile,” all claims which her daughter denied. “I’ve always been mentally healthy,” said the former child star.
