TLC star Karen Derrico faces arrest charges after allegedly threatening to kill her ex-husband and their children.

Las Vegas authorities detained the reality television personality following a bitter divorce battle.

Documents obtained by TMZ detail the legal troubles for the 46-year-old star from the show *Doubling Down with the Derricos*.

Prosecutors allege Derrico violated a restraining order and engaged in aggravated stalking against her former spouse.

Court records reveal she sent chilling emails on June 14 threatening lethal violence against Deon Derrico.

The messages claimed she would kill her ex-husband and any child who supported him during the split.

One filing stated, 'I want you dead,' and added she would kill kids taking his side.

Another alleged email suggested she planned to hire someone to kill Deon and intended to get a gun.

Officials stated these threats placed Deon in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm.

Derrico's attorney, Jess Marchese, contends her client did not send these messages.

Marchese claims Deon fabricated the threats by sending messages to himself to build a case.

The legal team is working with tech experts to prove the emails were faked.

Derrico pleaded not guilty at her Tuesday arraignment and was released on a $2,000 bond.

She currently wears an ankle monitor while awaiting trial on charges of harassment and witness tampering.

The couple separated in 2024 but reportedly lived together briefly for financial stability and family unity.

Eventually, Derrico moved out with four children after the relationship became untenable.

The Daily Mail has sought comment from Derrico's legal representation regarding these developing allegations.
