In the motion, Cho also objected to a request for "copies of any written correspondence, emails, cards, text messages, or any written forms of communication between [her] and any person, other than the Plaintiff, with whom [she] have or have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship from July 11, 2015 to June 23, 2025."

Josh Elliott Filed for Divorce Last Year

Elliott filed for divorce from Cho on June 20, 2025. The journalists were married for nearly a decade. 

Things have been turbulent for the duo ever since. In a November filing, Cho asked for copies of any messages Elliott may have had with "any person ... with whom [he] has or has had a romantic and/or sexual relationship, from July 11, 2015, to the present." 

She also requested "communications in connection with [his] search for any employment."

In January, Cho said Elliott took a "significant amount of furniture and furnishings" from their Connecticut home. This included their two Portuguese water dogs. She also accused him of stealing "a valuable watch and earrings from her jewelry bag."

Elliott denied the claim in court papers, saying he "did not ransack the marital home."

According to the filing, "He removed limited personal property and furnishings so he would have a safe haven from [Cho's] escalating and erratic behavior directed at not only [Elliott] but his minor child as well."

Elliott Accuses Liz Cho of "Erratic" Behavior

Court documents show Elliott accusing Cho of "monitoring and listening to [Elliott's] private phone calls; rifling through [Elliott's] personal belongings and closet; leaving the marital residence for extended periods without communication despite the presence of two dogs requiring daily care."

He described one incident when she allegedly became upset with him while he was "washing grapes for his daughter's lunch. She exclaimed that the grapes were hers and he was not permitted to put them in the child's lunch."

Regarding the protective order, Cho's attorneys say they "offered to coordinate a mutually convenient alternative date for the deposition and provided options for such alternative date."

She also alleged that Elliott's legal team did not respond to the request. The office claimed his counsel is "presently away on vacation." Connecticut courts could not comment on whether the deposition actually took place or was rescheduled.
