Chris Ambrose Exposed: Daughter Mia Speaks, Abuse Allegations, Court Chaos & Kassenoff Link

Christopher Ambrose, a disgraced lawyer and TV writer, has turned his life into one endless courtroom battle. After losing a defamation case in 2022, he returned with federal lawsuits against family-court advocate Tina Swithin, Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee, and investigative journalist Frank Parlato. His claim? That all three lied about him being a narcissist and an abuser.

But Mia Ambrose, his adopted daughter, says otherwise. In a shocking interview on The Unknown Podcast with Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe, Mia detailed years of verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse by Ambrose. She said bluntly: “Christopher Ambrose is an abuser. There are documents, recordings, and videos.”

Mia revealed that she and her brothers were isolated—phones confiscated, doors locked with bars and alarms, cut off from family and friends. When they reported abuse to Connecticut DCF, nothing was done. In August 2023, Mia petitioned for a restraining order against her father. Judge Thomas O’Neill ignored her and instead granted Ambrose an order blocking her from seeing her mother, Karen Riordan.

Ambrose also faces accusations of racism. Audio released by TikTok journalist Robbie Harvey captured him calling his Hispanic children “beaners.” Mia confirmed the clip was real and “meant to be hurtful.” Harvey later removed it under legal threats from Ambrose and his ally, New York lawyer Allan Kassenoff.

Kassenoff, whose wife Catherine died by assisted suicide during their custody war, also sues journalists. He filed a $150 million defamation suit against Harvey. Ambrose has mirrored his tactics, suing anyone who exposes him. Mia confirmed on The Unknown that Ambrose and Kassenoff are friends, and that Chris is taking legal and media advice from him.

The parallels are chilling: both men weaponized parental alienation claims, manipulated courts, and then attacked journalists with lawsuits. Both claim to be victims while wielding their wealth and connections against their families and critics.

Mia’s message to Ambrose’s defenders is clear: “Anyone supporting Chris Ambrose needs to rethink their position.”
