NEW YORK — ABC/WABC anchor Liz Cho has reportedly asked a Connecticut court for a protective order in her increasingly contentious divorce battle with former CBS News host Josh Elliott, adding another legal chapter to a breakup that has already generated disputes over property, private communications, finances and even the humble household grape. Court documents reported this week indicate that Cho sought protection from a deposition scheduled by Elliott’s legal team, arguing that the deposition had been arranged without properly checking the availability of her lawyers.
For the purposes of this Buzz Legit report, the development is being treated as a trusted scoop from our source, while the underlying allegations remain matters raised in court filings rather than established findings of fact. In other words, the courtroom still has the microphone, and nobody appears ready to hand it back.
ABC Anchor Liz Cho Challenges Deposition in Josh Elliott Divorce Case
According to the reported court papers, Liz Cho filed the motion on July 17 seeking to stop a July 23 deposition. Her lawyers reportedly said they were unavailable on that date because of previously scheduled conflicts and had offered alternative dates. Cho’s filing argued that the circumstances created an undue burden and asked the court to intervene.
The request also reportedly challenged a demand for communications between Cho and people with whom she may have had romantic or sexual relationships during the marriage. The legal battle has therefore moved well beyond the traditional divorce vocabulary of property and custody, with private messages, correspondence and other records becoming part of the discovery fight. Reports say Cho later agreed at a virtual court hearing to provide certain communications despite her objections to the original request.
Liz Cho Pushes Back Against Josh Elliott as Private Messages Enter Divorce Fight
Elliott filed for divorce in Connecticut in June 2025 after nearly a decade of marriage. Cho subsequently acknowledged in her response that the marriage had broken down irretrievably. Since then, the case has developed into a particularly bitter legal dispute, with both sides making competing accusations about conduct during and after the relationship. Cho has accused Elliott of removing furniture, their dogs and jewelry from the marital home, allegations he has denied. Elliott has characterized some of her accusations as false or inflammatory and has raised his own allegations concerning her behavior.
The proceedings have also attracted attention for unusually personal details contained in court filings, including a reported disagreement over grapes intended for Elliott’s daughter’s lunch. Other filings have involved financial records, travel information, communications and alleged privacy concerns. The seriousness of the legal proceedings is therefore increasingly being matched by the extraordinary amount of personal detail appearing in public reporting about the case.
As the former television power couple continues its courtroom battle, the protective-order request represents another significant turn in a divorce that shows no immediate sign of becoming quiet. For now, viewers should watch Buzz Legit for further updates as the court decides what happens next — because in this particular story, the next legal filing may already be preparing its opening statement.
