From In Touch

Xzibit was hit with a temporary restraining order after a man who previously worked for him claimed he threatened to kill him if he helped his ex in their divorce battle but the rapper strongly denied the accusations, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Julio Garcia, who claims he washed the musician’s cars for years, filed a petition for a restraining order on February 25.

In the filing, Julio asked that Xzibit (real name: Alvin Joiner) be ordered to stay 100 yards away from him, his wife, his daughter and Krista Joiner, who is Xzibit’s ex-wife and Julio’s “employer.”

As In Touch first reported, Xzibit, 50, and Krista are in the middle of a bitter divorce and are preparing to face off at trial. Krista recently accused Xzibit of failing to pay his court-ordered child support and spousal support for December 2024. The case is ongoing.

Through his attorney, Xzhibit claims that he has “provided financial support in accordance with his legal obligations and has made every effort to ensure the well-being of his child. Despite this, [Krista] has deliberately and falsely portrayed him as neglectful and irresponsible in an apparent attempt to damage his reputation and alienate him from his son. These claims are not only demonstrably false but also deeply harmful.”

The case between Xzhibit and Krista is ongoing.

In Julio’s petition, he claimed Xzibit “threatened to kill” him if he testified and told Krista “the truth about what” he “learned when [he] washed his cars.”

Julio said he learned “what vehicles he has, where he has them, where his new house is” and he even gained information when he “helped [Xzibit] move cannabis merchandise from Las Vegas to Chatsworth, and where the warehouse is.”

Julio said Xzibit told him that he would kill him and then told him, “Good luck to you and Krista.”

In Touch obtained a letter Xzibit’s attorney sent Krista, where he accuses his ex-wife of “manipulat[ing] witnesses through coercion and intimidation.”

Xzibit further states that Krista “directly or indirectly threatened third-parties with legal and immigration-related consequences if they did not provide statements favorable to [her].” It remains unclear if Xzibit is referring to Julio or another third-party in his accusations.
