Kaushigan and Tan allegedly met in 2016 and became friends over time, but things hit a snag in 2020 when Tan found out they didn’t see eye to eye on the possibility of moving on.
Tan saw Kaushigan as nothing more than a friend, but considered her his closest friend, according to the allegations. The discussion prompted Tan to try to limit their interactions afterward, which annoyed Kaushigan.

Tan made an effort to improve their relationship per an agreement with Kawshigan, even attending counseling sessions for a year as a measure of good faith, but in the summer of 2022, she again attempts to limit interactions.

Tan responded with an urgent order of protection against Caughigan.
