Following an alleged incident at Yve's home in Albuquerque, New Mexico on August 15, Mohamed, 28, filed a police report and pressed domestic violence charges against Yve, 48.
Mohamed claimed Yve had attacked him while he was trying to gain access to his phone, and Yve is now facing one count of battery and one count of assault against a household member, according to court records obtained by In Touch Weekly.
Yve's representative, however, has denied the abuse claims on the reality TV star's behalf.
"The domestic abuse allegations have been falsified by Mohamed," Yve's rep, Dominique Enchinton of Dominton Talent House, told In Touch.
"Mohamed and the woman he has been cheating on Yve with have discussed his options from the very beginning. They specifically discussed a U-Visa and how Mohamed could qualify for this just in case Yve found out about his indiscretions."
Mohamed was exposed during 90 Day Fiance's Season 9 Tell-All special for allegedly having sent a woman flirtatious text messages in which he had said he wanted to divorce Yve shortly after receiving his green card and wished he could be with this other woman instead and keep her in his bed for days.
Mohamed's alleged cheating text messages with his secret girlfriend leaked out in the press in late July, before Part 2 of the show's Tell All aired Sunday night on TLC.
"The domestic abuse allegations are completely false and just a ploy to keep him in the US. Yve was not arrested on 8/15 or any other day," Yve's statement continued.
"Yve has never been abusive toward Mohamed and just wants this chapter in her life to be done so she can move forward."
The Albuquerque Police Department had arrived at Yve's home around 2AM on August 15 in response to the alleged domestic dispute Mohamed eventually cited in his police report obtained by the magazine.

He said they were married on January 8, 2022. He was living with her until two days ago when he moved out," officer Jasmin Romero reportedly wrote in the police report.
"Throughout the relationship, he said he has endured emotional and physical abuse from Yvette. He said when she drinks she becomes very violent and angry."
Mohamed allegedly claimed he never called the police during an argument with Yve because "he is afraid."
"He does not want to get in trouble for asking for help. He played an audio recording from July 21, 2022, and Yvette is yelling at him, telling him she needs help with dishes, the laundry, and other things in the house," Romero wrote.
"I can hear Mohamed yelling in the background telling Yvette not to hit him again."

Officer Romero wrote in the police report that Mohamed "broke it off with Andrea," who may have been the mystery woman he had been texting for months during his marriage to Yve.
Mohamed told police that Andrea "extorted him saying she was going to tell his wife about their relationship if he ended things with her."

"Yvette tried to grab the phone from him and he fell onto the floor," the officer added.
"He said she sat on top of him and put her knee to his throat to try and force him to release the phone. He was able to get out from under her and said he did not physically hurt her while getting away."
Yve, however, recalled a different version of events when sharing her side of the story with police following the altercation.
"She said she has been helping Mohamed while he was trying to get residency here and if he divorces her he will automatically be deported," Romero wrote, according to In Touch.
"She had been publicly humiliated by the female Andrea and another female from Minnesota with whom Mohamed has engaged in an affair. Due to his infidelity and her stress regarding the loss of a friend, she said she has been worried Mohamed would try to get her in trouble."
Romero went on to further describe Yve's account, writing, "She said Mohamed had been making plans with Andrea to get Yvette in trouble with the law so he could apply for his U-Visa. She is scared and worried because she does not know what he is capable of doing."
In regards to why Mohamed had initially left Yve's home in the early morning hours of August 14, prior to the domestic incident, Romero wrote, "[Mohamed] said Yvette placed both of her hands on each side of his face and said, 'Can you feel that?' He said she was drunk and he was afraid she was going to hit him when she did this. Because she is violent when she drinks alcoholic beverages. He packed his bags and left the residence."
But, according to the police report, Yve did not hit Mohamed and he left the residence willingly.
Mohamed also accused Yve of cheating on him with a guy named Mike and sending pictures to him the evening of August 13.
Romero noted that she did "not observe any injuries on either party" when he arrived at the scene.
Yve reportedly has a bond arraignment hearing scheduled for Tuesday, September 6.
The 90 Day Fiance: Tell All on Sunday night showed Yve crying to producers via Zoom over Mohamed's inappropriate messages to another woman and then Mohamed apologizing to Yve for betraying her trust and essentially asking his wife for a second chance. (Yve discovered Mohamed's cheating texts shortly after the Tell All filmed in New York).

Yve called Mohamed's alleged infidelity "shocking, raw, disappointing, [and] saddening."
"He chose to spend his time focused on starting other relationships and engaging in activity that a married man should not be engaging in... I asked him if I could see his phone, and that happened, and I saw inappropriate things. I saw pictures and calls, and put the pieces together," Yve told producers.
But Mohamed claimed he had asked the woman to stop texting him because he's a married man.
"I know I did wrong," Mohamed lamented on the show. "All I can do now is say 'sorry' to my wife, and I promised her that will never happen again. I do love Yve, and she doesn't deserve that. I am trying to fix it."
Shortly after the episode streamed on Discovery+, Yve took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday with a statement.
"Let me be clear. Of course I blame him as well," Yve reportedly wrote, before the episode also aired on TLC.
"First time I get to say anything though. Everyone was demanding I say something [and I] finally get to, so just take it as facts... [and] one of these women was still married as well."
Yve also shared the following quotes on her Instagram Stories: "Queens don't compete with hoes," as well as, "And home wreckers, They, these!!!! Plural were both! #desperado."
Yve later wrote, "Thank you ladies for sharing your stories of infidelity, heartaches & pain. Obviously, we are not alone. Why commitment for some isn't a commitment. There's lots of healing that needs to happen in this world on so many levels. If you don't want to be exclusive just say so, so people can make their own informed decisions."
Yve also posted an image that read, "Let's be better humans."
Later that day, Mohamed posted a message of his own to his followers, insisting "there are two sides to every story."

On Monday, Mohamed also wrote on Instagram, "A lot of people [are] asking why I'm not saying my part of the story. That's because I was trying my best to end my relationship with respect, that's all."
When news of Mohamed's cheating scandal first made headlines in July, hundreds of alleged WhatsApp text messages between Mohamed and a woman he had been texting and speaking to on the phone daily for months leaked on social media.
The alleged set of incriminating text messages, covering the period from May 2022 to July 2022, were posted by the 90 Day Fiance fan account @MerryPants on Thursday via Instagram.
Mohamed allegedly wrote to the woman, "You should visit me in Albuquerque hopefully soon so we can get to know each other... I seriously can't wait to actually meet you. I will go to the attorney right after I get the Green Card."
Mohamed allegedly said he couldn't live with Yve for much longer.
"I would just keep you in bed for days," Mohamed's alleged texts read. "Let's go to Egypt... and apply for a green card from there and come back later."
Mohamed appeared to call the woman "the moon," and they talked about kissing each other.
"The divorce will be tough... Do you agree to be the second [wife]? If yes, come here. I would be so honored... You are the best," the texts read.
The woman promised to be there for Mohamed through his divorce, and Mohamed revealed, based on the texts, he had a secret bank account -- hidden from Yve -- to which he had been depositing his earnings from Cameo videos.
On the topic of filing taxes, the woman wrote to Mohamed, "By April 15th she can file 'single divorced,'" along with crying-laughing emoticons, and Mohamed allegedly replied, "Exactly."
Mohamed also allegedly texted of Yve's son Tharan, who has special needs, "It's her kid. I don't care what she wants to do," adding, "No, [Yve] will never have [my] Egyptian baby."

Mohamed had led fans to believe on 90 Day Fiance's Tell-All special that he was becoming more accepting and understanding of Yve's culture, allowing her to dress however she wants and be herself.
Mohamed insisted that he loved Yve and wanted their marriage to work, and he even buried the hatchet with one of Yve's best friends, Tatiana, who initially disapproved of Mohamed's controlling nature and treatment of Yve.
