Exes Emma Roberts and Evan Peters shared a tense on-stage reunion this week, years after the actress was arrested for alleged domestic violence against him in 2013.
The former co-stars made a rare joint appearance during the Disney Advertising Upfront showcase on Wednesday to announce Paul Anthony Kellyâs addition to Season 13 of Ryan Murphyâs âAmerican Horror Story.â
Roberts, 35, was dressed up in a black strapless mini dress decorated with red roses for the event. Peters, 39, sported a teal jacket over a white tee and black trousers.
The former couple was joined onstage by fellow âAHSâ alums Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Angela Bassett.
But the exes also kept a few feet apart as they stood on the North Javits Center stage in New York City to help promote Season 13 of the long-running FX horror anthology series.
Reps for Roberts and Peters did not immediately respond to Page Sixâs requests for comment.
The âWeâre the Millersâ star and âX-Menâ actorâs tumultuous relationship began in February 2012 when the pair met on the set of the comedy-drama âAdult World.â
They sparked relationship rumors that July after being photographed holding hands at a wedding, and made their red carpet debut as a couple during the 70th Golden Globe Awards in January 2013.
But five months later, Roberts was arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident at a hotel in Montreal in July 2013.
The âScream 4â star was released shortly after, and Peters â who reportedly suffered a bloody nose during the purported incident â didnât press charges.
âIt was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding,â the pairâs reps said in a statement at the time. âMs. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it.â
Despite the reported domestic violence incident, Peters proposed to Roberts a year later in January 2014.
The then-couple also continued working together, most notably for four seasons of âAHSâ beginning with âAHS: Covenâ in 2013 and followed by âAHS: Freak Showâ in 2014, âAHS: Cultâ in 2017 and âAHS: Apocalypseâ in 2019.
