Robert Citrone Battles Mom’s Social Media Fury in Court

## Background & Context

Billionaire hedge‑fund manager and Pittsburgh Steelers co‑owner Robert Citrone is asking a Pennsylvania judge for an emergency order to stop Amy Blunt, the alleged mother of his 3‑year‑old son, from posting about their legal dispute to the press.

The request follows a recent court ruling that granted Blunt permission to depose Citrone, his wife, and their children in order to assess their standard of living.

In the new legal filings, Citrone’s attorneys noted that Blunt had posted on social media claiming she had won an appeal that now allows her to take depositions.

The post also referenced Citrone’s wealth, stating that he was worth roughly $250 million when the children were young and is now “worth billions.” Blunt further alleged that her son Luca “has had to fight for basic needs.”

, after reviewing Blunt’s post, Citrone’s attorney reached out to her lawyer. Blunt then emailed her lawyer, announcing plans to launch a TikTok video next week that would detail what she described as Citrone’s “infidelity and his refusal to support Luca.”

Citrone’s legal team is now requesting the court issue an order that prohibits Blunt from providing any information about the case to journalists, newspapers, or social media platforms. The order would effectively bar her from making public statements or sharing details about their ongoing litigation.

## What Happens Next

The emergency order request adds another layer to an already contentious dispute. Blunt has been actively seeking access to Citrone’s financial documents, including tax returns and income statements, as part of her efforts to establish the children’s standard of living.

The child, Luca, has been diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and other health issues that require a wheelchair, underscoring the complexity of the custody and support calculations at issue.

On Monday, a judge granted Blunt’s request to take depositions of Citrone, his wife, and their children. The deposition process is intended to reveal the financial resources available for child support and to determine whether the children’s basic needs are being met.

Citrone’s attorneys argue that allowing public disclosure of these depositions could undermine the privacy of all parties involved.

The court’s decision to issue an emergency order would extend the prohibition beyond traditional media outlets, covering all forms of communication that could reach the public. While the filings do not detail enforcement mechanisms, a breach of such an order could result in sanctions against Blunt or her counsel.

The case remains pending in Pennsylvania state court, with no publicly available schedule for the next hearing. Both parties have yet to comment on the proposed order beyond what is documented in the filings.

The outcome of this request could shape how much information about their family’s finances and custody arrangements becomes accessible to the public.
