General Hospital star Steve Burton's ex-wife accuses him of 'harassing' her... JUST weeks after he remarried
Steve Burton is facing accusations of harassment from his ex-wife, Sheree Gustin.
The General Hospital actor's former spouse, 48, claimed he has sent her excessive messages about custody arrangements concerning their minor daughter, Brooklyn.
Gustin's allegation comes after Burton claimed she was making it difficult for him to maintain visitation with Brooklyn, despite their shared custody agreement.
'In the past few months, [Steve] has started to message me and accuse me of parental alienation if he cannot get ahold of Brooklyn,' Sheree alleged in court documents, obtained by In Touch. 'His messages are almost daily and are harassing.'
Responding to the filing, Burton's attorney, Sarah C Clark, told Us Weekly: 'Steve maintains that Sheree's allegations are categorically false. He has, and will continue to, act in the best interests of the parties' daughter, Brooklyn, which includes ensuring there is frequent and continuing contact with both parents.'

She continued, 'On May 12, 2025, the Court heard the evidence loud and clear and granted Steve additional custodial time with Brooklyn that Sheree was unwilling to provide.'
Earlier, Steve submitted a claim stating that Gustin was interfering with his ability to see Brooklyn.
He also alleged that Gustin has repeatedly disrespected his wife Michelle Lundstrom, who he married earlier this month.
'Sheree has seemingly forgotten how our family ended up in this situation. It was Sheree who had an extramarital affair, became pregnant with another man's child and immediately moved him into her home after our separation, without informing me she would be doing so,' Steve claimed in the court documents.
He added: 'Early on in my relationship with Michelle, Sheree began to refuse to call Michelle by her name and instead referred to her as "the girl" in an effort to downplay her role in my life. In one text message exchange, Sheree stated, in part, as follows, "Michelle is not your family or our kids" family lol. She is your girlfriend.'
'Sheree made it clear to me that she did not want Brooklyn to spend time with me if Michelle or her daughters were present,' Steve claimed. 'When Michelle and her daughters were in town Sheree would make it difficult for me to exercise custodial time with Brooklyn when I was in California. All of my requests were met with resistance. Sheree would tell me my requested time did not work or they were busy, despite providing her with ample notice.'
Steve filed for divorce in July 2022 after two decades of marriage.
The split came a few months after they publicly announced their separation and that Sheree was expecting a child with another man.
An Orange County Superior Court judge ordered the M3 fitness trainer to pay his ex-wife $10K/month in child support for co-parenting their only underage child, 10-year-old daughter Brooklyn.
In May, he and Lundstrom tied the knot at Orthodox church in Laguna Beach, California.
'This day isn't just about a ceremony. It's the beginning of forever with the love of my life,' Burton told People.
'Honestly, I've never felt so loved and cared for in my entire life. I'm incredibly grateful to have her by my side. She is the most amazing, beautiful, and selfless woman I've ever known. I love her so much.'
Michelle and Burton were only engaged for four months before their intimate nuptials, and he 'proved that fairy tale love truly exists.'
'He's like pure sunshine — always uplifting, endlessly caring. His love makes me a better person every single day,' Lundstrom gushed.
'To have the most incredible man I've ever known by my side forever brings me so much peace and happiness. He is the love of my life, and I feel so blessed to call him mine.'
The two-time Daytime Emmy winner invited 45 guests to their seaside reception and candlelight dinner at Montage Laguna Beach, including his General Hospital castmates Jonathan Jackson and Lisa Vultaggio.
Steve's three children - daughter Makena, 21; son Jack, 19; and daughter Brooklyn, 10 - with ex-wife Sheree Amador were in the wedding party as were Michelle's two daughters - Lilah, 14; and Hannah, 10 - from a prior relationship.
The newlyweds went on to honeymoon in Maui following their 'dream-like celebration filled with so much love.'
Steve has portrayed Jason Morgan on/off between 1991-2012 and 2017-2021 and 2024-2025 on long-running soap opera General Hospital, which airs weekdays on ABC.
Michelle is a full-blown influencer, frequently sharing recipes and doing paid partnerships for brands like Drip EZ, Hal's New York, and Good Culture.
In 2023, Lundstrom was the fifth contestant eliminated off the second season of Netflix competition Barbecue Showdown, which was won by Iowa pitmaster Thyron Mathews.
