He was charged with domestic assault in an incident with Shnier in January 2016. He pleaded guilty in a “deferred decision” trial in which the charge would be dropped if he met certain conditions, which he did in July 2017.
Despite the guilty plea, his attorney, Walter McKee, insisted that McLean never physically assaulted his ex-wife.
Don and Paris first went public with their relationship in 2018.
