THE ex-husband of Lori Vallow's niece is suing her family's lawyer claiming the attorney branded him a porn addict who had gay affairs and ties to the mob.
Brandon Boudreaux is seeking damages from Robert P Jarvis after the salacious claims were made in a press release sent to members of the media.

Boudreaux is one of many individuals who has been dragged into the .
He is the ex-husband of Vallow's niece, .
She is represented by Jarvis in the pair's contentious custody battle that is still being fought by Pawlowski after Boudreaux was awarded custody of their four children.
The defamation lawsuit, which was first obtained by , was filed in response to a release sent by Jarvis back in February.
“Brandon Boudreaux has a history of victimizing women, which is probably an extension of his use of extreme and dark pornography,” wrote Garrett Smith, who also represents Pawlowski and is named as a defendant in the defamation suit.
"Melani confronted Brandon Boudreaux in June of last year with proof of his pornography addiction and homosexual affairs."
The release went on to say that Boudreaux "retaliated with threats to attack her and to take her kids away.
"He has carried through with his threats by lying in his court documents."
Smith then noted that his client "was the stable parent in her children’s lives while Brandon Boudreaux traveled for weeks and was rarely home.”
Smith went on to take aim at Boudreaux's family.
"Brandon Boudreaux has failed to tell investigators that his family has covered up child molestation, drug addiction, kidnapping, assaults, and even killings," claimed Smith.
"And, according to inside family information, Brandon Boudreaux’s family is involved in organized crime."
Smith continued: "Brandon Boudreaux has plenty to hide. A closer look would reveal many possible sources who would take a shot at him."
That "shot" is a reference to the bullet that narrowly missed the father-of-four while back in October.
Boudreaux did not see the gunman but did get a good look at the car.
It was the same vehicle as the one registered to Vallow's deceased fourth husband, Charles Vallow.
In his response, Boudreaux denied each and every allegation made by the lawyers while seeking damages to be determined at trial.
Jarvis responded to Boudreaux's lawsuit by similarly denying all of his allegations.
In addition to Pawlowski, Jarvis is also representing , who have defended the cult mom despite the fact that they have not seen or heard from Tylee, 17, or JJ, 7, since October.

Boudreaux managed to draw the ire of Vallow, 46, and her family after making bombastic claims about her religious beliefs in a court filing during his divorce proceedings.
He claimed in the filing that Vallow thought her missing children had "become possessed by zombies" and believed that the two "needed to die."
Boudreaux claimed to have obtained this troubling information from a detailed affidavit written by his ex-wife's new husband, Ian Pawlowski.
That document was first obtained by the .
In the document, Ian details everything he claims to have learned about the religious group Lori was running and information his wife Melani had told him over the course of their relationship.
The most shocking of those revelations had to do with Lori's children.
"Melani had been told by Chad and Lori that her children had been possessed and had become zombies," reads the document, which the East Idaho news claims was written by Ian.
"She shared concerns that she’s been told Brandon needed to die and that may indicate that Tylee and JJ needed to die as well," the court filing reads.
The talk then allegedly got far darker according to the document.

"She told me she was worried that [Lori's brother Alex] may have had to 'take care' of the kids. She explained that [her brother] had great faith and never wavered in his trust in the Lord. No task would be too difficult or great for him."
Ian shared most of this with police but still maintained his relationship with Melani, whom he believes played no role in any sinister plots based on conversations the two had over the past year.
These claims are similar to allegations made in another filing back in 2019 during Vallow's fourth divorce.
It is alleged in that document that Lori referred to her fourth husband Charles as "Nick Schneider" and said "Nick had killed Father and taken his identity."
Charles submitted this information in a Motion For Order to Appear in February of last year, shortly after filing for divorce from Lori and receiving an order of protection against his then-estranged wife.
He said in the filing that Lori "kept referring to Father as ‘Nick Schneider’ instead of Father’s name" during one business trip.
When Charles asked who that was, Lori allegedly "told him that Nick was Father’s real name because Nick had killed Father and taken his identity."
Lori then threatened Charles' life he said in his 2018 motion.
"Mother proceeded to warn Father that she would kill him upon his return home and had an angel there to help her dispose of the body," read the filing.
"She also mentioned that she could not trust Father and that she would not only kill him but would destroy him financially. Since that conversation Mother’s communications with Father have been rare and intermittent."
Lori then followed through with that according to Charles.
He came home to find his truck had been taken from the airport parking lot, which resulted in him having to get a ride to his home he claimed in his court filing.
Once at the home he found his "desktop computer ... clothes and underwear, JJ's clothes, the service dog's collar, JJ's medication" and the boy's iPad were all gone from the home.
Charles' attempts to recover these things, and his $35,000, all proved to be fruitless, which is why he filed the motion he said in court documents.
At the same time, Charles was working to get Lori help despite her pushing back on the notion.

He even requested a voluntary 72 hour hold at a local clinic but Lori refused to appear because he claimed "they would discover that she is a translated being."
He filed the motion after discovering that Lori transferred $35,000 out of his business account while refusing to return the computer, clothing, car and other possessions she stole from his home in Arizona.
Charles never did get the money or his possessions back, and that Order of Protection did not stop Lori's brother Alex Cox from shooting him dead this past July in what the gunman later claimed was an act of self-defense.
