Kim Delaney Leaves Fans 'Confused' With Birthday Post After Domestic Violence Drama

Kim Delaney is raising eyebrows with a cheerful birthday post that dropped days after her arrest in connection to a domestic violence incident involving her husband, James Morgan. 

The actress was taken into custody following what police called a "heated argument that turned physical" with Morgan, who was also arrested at the scene. 

Kim Delaney, previously married to actors Joe Cortese and Charles Grant, officially tied the knot with James Morgan in October 2022. 

On Thursday, she took to Instagram to celebrate Morgan's 55th birthday, sharing a photo of a vibrant bouquet alongside a gushing caption, "Birthday Boy, 55!!!!! Your wife loves you, my guy!" She even added Chris Stapleton's romantic ballad "Joy of My Life" as the soundtrack.

The unexpected celebration has puzzled fans, especially given the turbulent events of the past week, and they did not hold back. "I'm confused," one follower bluntly wrote, a sentiment echoed repeatedly in the replies. 

"Right?! Wasn't someone just on the news for being arrested?" another chimed in. A third asked, "Wtf? Are we supposed to all forget what happened last week?"

Others expressed concern, with one user pleading, "Please get out of that abusive relationship," while another skeptically noted, "You get one phone call, and you order flowers for him?"

Some even took a darker, sarcastic turn. "Nothing like flowers after a mowdown," someone commented, while another warned, "Denial will take you to the pit.”

Delaney's Instagram post got fans split down the middle between concern and celebration. While many were stunned and voiced their confusion, others came to Delaney's defense, flooding the comments with support. 

"It's not your business, and only they know what happened. It could've been them against other people and not each other for all we know," one follower pushed back.

Others praised Delaney for the romantic gesture. "Wow, what a beautiful bouquet of roses!" one wrote. "Kim, you're the queen. Incredible and amazing," another added.

"Yaaaay, I'm glad you guys worked it out. Wishing you the best," someone else chimed in. Fans also wished her husband birthday wishes, posting heart emojis and complimenting the flowers.

ICYMI, Delaney is at the center of a domestic drama that has taken a serious turn, ending in handcuffs for both her and her husband, James Morgan. The Blast reports that police were called to the 63-year-old's California home around 10 a.m. on Saturday after receiving a domestic disturbance call. 

What followed, officials said, was a "heated argument that turned physical" between the star and her spouse. It was revealed that paramedics responded to the scene and evaluated both Delaney and Morgan for injuries, after which they were arrested.

The LASD's Marina Del Rey station disclosed that Delaney was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, while Morgan was arrested for domestic violence.

The station confirmed both were taken into custody, with Morgan reportedly booked about 30 minutes before Delaney and held on $20,000 bail.

This latest legal drama adds to Delaney's mounting history of run-ins with the law, several of which have been linked to alcohol. Last year, she faced a civil lawsuit tied to a shocking traffic incident from 2022. 

Reports show that motorcyclist Dzhamal Badalov filed suit in January 2024, claiming Delaney struck his bike at a red light on Venice Boulevard in November 2022. Witnesses said Delaney attempted to flee the scene, only to be stopped by concerned bystanders.

Badalov alleges the actress seemed disoriented and possibly under the influence. He also claims she tried to resolve the matter privately, handing over her phone to speak with someone offering hush money in exchange for not alerting authorities.

Delaney allegedly left before police arrived, prompting Badalov to take legal action. 

Delaney's 2024 legal trouble is not her first brush with controversy, they are part of a decades-long pattern.

Back in 2002, the Emmy Awards Winner was arrested in Malibu for suspected DUI after allegedly refusing a breathalyzer. She later pleaded no contest, was fined, sentenced to probation, and ordered to complete a DUI course.

2003 Delaney reportedly entered rehab after her exit from "CSI: Miami." Two years later, her battle with addiction reached a turning point when she lost custody of her teenage son, Jack Cortese. The courtroom shocker included testimony that she had endangered him by driving under the influence.

Things unraveled again in 2011 when Delaney delivered a slurred, incoherent speech at an event honoring former Defense Secretary Robert Gates and was escorted off stage.

Whether it is a sign of reconciliation or a red flag, Kim Delaney's post has left fans questioning what is really going on behind the scenes.
