The drama in Charleston has taken a dark, serious turn as authorities step in to handle an escalating feud.

According to explosive new court documents obtained by insiders, Salley Carson has officially filed a temporary restraining order against Charley Manley. The legal filing exposes a deeply troubling timeline of events, with Salley claiming she has been the target of a relentless, toxic campaign of harassment designed to completely destroy her mental health and peace of mind.
The situation has reportedly reached a boiling point, leaving Salley with no choice but to seek immediate police intervention.
Inside the Relentless Campaign of Midnight Stalking
Sources close to the situation reveal that the tension between the two has been brewing behind closed doors for months, but recently crossed a dangerous line. In the detailed court affidavits, Salley alleges that Charley’s behavior transformed from toxic grievances into actual physical intimidation.
The documents outline multiple instances of alleged “midnight stalking,” where Charley reportedly showed up at Salley’s private residence unannounced in the dead of night.
“Salley has been living in a state of constant anxiety,” an insider exclusively shares. “She would wake up to noises outside or see his car lingering near her property at 2:00 or 3:00 AM. It wasn’t just a one-time confrontation; it became a pattern of intimidation. She felt watched and completely unsafe in her own home.”
According to the filings, the late-night appearances were intentionally timed to catch Salley off guard, escalating her fear and creating an environment of psychological warfare.
The Paper Trail: Threatening Texts and Psychological Warfare
In addition to the physical stalking allegations, Salley’s legal team has reportedly submitted a mountain of digital evidence to the court. The filing includes screenshots of aggressive, threatening, and manipulative text messages allegedly sent by Charley.
The texts, described by sources as “relentless and toxic,” show a calculated effort to break down Salley’s emotional well-being.
-
Emotional Abuse: The messages allegedly contained vicious personal attacks aimed at Salley’s character and professional life.
-
Constant Gaslighting: Charley reportedly used manipulative tactics to blame Salley for the fallout of their relationship, keeping her on a constant emotional rollercoaster.
-
Implied Threats: Insiders claim the texts grew increasingly hostile, warning Salley of social and personal ruin if she did not comply with his demands.
“The text messages were an absolute onslaught,” the source continues. “It didn’t matter if it was the middle of the day or the middle of the night—her phone would blow up with paragraph after paragraph of vitriol. It was a deliberate, calculated effort to ruin her mental health and make her feel entirely isolated.”
What Happens Next?
With the police now involved and a formal paper trail established, a judge has reportedly reviewed the initial evidence and granted an emergency temporary restraining order. Under the terms of the order, Charley is legally required to cease all contact with Salley and maintain a strict physical distance from her home and place of work.
While Charley has yet to break his silence or publicly respond to the shocking allegations laid out in the documents, friends of the reality star claim he is blindsided by the legal escalation. However, Salley’s camp insists this was a necessary measure for her survival and well-being.
A formal court hearing has been scheduled for the coming weeks, where both parties will be forced to face a judge. At that time, the court will decide whether to extend the temporary filing into a permanent, long-term restraining order.
