Officers later spoke with Schulz, who denied getting physical in the exchange.
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office subsequently charged Schulz with misdemeanor domestic violence battery in connection with the incident.
Passante cryptically referred to the course of events last week in an Instagram post in which she posed with a confidante.
‘Longest week of my life!’ she wrote. ‘Good supportive friends are hard to come by. Cherish you always @chelfreeman.’
The former couple, who have been featured in the A&E show’s 13-season run, confirmed their breakup earlier this year.
On the show’s season 13 debut last month, Passante said, ‘I’m not with Jarrod anymore,’ as they had split in November of 2018

The former couple, who have been featured in the A&E show’s 13-season run, confirmed their breakup earlier this year. They are parents to two children, son Cameron and daughter Payton.
On the show’s season 13 debut last month, Passante said, ‘I’m not with Jarrod anymore,’ as they had split in November of 2018.
Schulz on the show said that both would remain in the reselling business in the wake of their split.
‘Just because me and Brandi aren’t together anymore, doesn’t mean we can’t go to an auction – but separately,’ said Schulz, who previously stared the limelight with Passante on the spin-off series Brandi & Jarrod: Married to the Job.
In a February chat on the Spirit Talk YouTube channel, Passante said she was ‘just going with the flow’ and not romantically linked to anyone ‘in particular.
‘I wasn’t really allowed to have an identity for many, many years. And so these last couple of years, I’m kind of coming into my own and figuring out who I am,’ Passante said. ‘I just don’t have an attachment to anyone. I’ve definitely dated and things like that, but … right now it’s not something I’m really trying hard to seek out. I’m waiting until I can feel an attachment to someone.’
