Spouse of 'Scandal' actor alleges years of choking and abuse incidents.
In the latest turn of events, Columbus Short, the former "Scandal" actor, and his wife, Aida Abramyan, are embroiled in a domestic violence legal battle. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016 and share two young sons, have been making headlines due to a series of mutual accusations of abuse.
The most recent incident occurred on July 7, when a neighbour reportedly heard Abramyan yell "My husband is choking me, help!" leading to her arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. However, Abramyan denies any arrest in her court documents. On the other hand, Short obtained a temporary restraining order against Abramyan, alleging she physically abused a 10-week-old puppy they had and also struck him, resulting in a bloody eye injury. Abramyan, in response, included photos of injuries from alleged instances of physical abuse in her TRO request, including a black eye and bruising.
Short's history of marriages is noteworthy, as he was previously married three times before his union with Abramyan. It is important to clarify that the paragraph does not mention any court proceedings or legal battles involving Short and Aida Abramyan prior to this current incident.
The latest developments come after a turbulent relationship for the couple, with Short pleading no contest to hitting Aida in 2018 and serving jail time. Although Short was arrested and charged with domestic violence in 2022, those charges were ultimately dropped by prosecutors.
In his restraining order petition, Short claimed that Abramyan busted his eye open and abused the puppy. Short has publicly stated he plans to file for divorce, describing the recent incidents as "the final straw."
Currently, Abramyan is staying at her parents' home with their two children, while Short retains custody of the puppy named Matilda, who reportedly is recovering well and did not require veterinary care after the alleged abuse.
It is crucial to note that the details of the domestic violence incident in 2022 are not specified in the current paragraph. TMZ reports that Abramyan included photos of injuries from recent years in her TRO request. Short, who was also a former choreographer, was romantically linked to Britney Spears during the early 2000s. This legal battle highlights a significant breakdown in the marriage with ongoing courtroom actions and family instability.
The latest court battle between celebrities Columbus Short and Aida Abramyan, over allegations of domestic violence and animal cruelty, has taken a turn towards general-news and crime-and-justice sector, with both parties presenting their versions in court documents. The legal battle, involving their volatile relationship history and recent incidents, has also resulted in short-term arrangements for their two sons and the puppy, Matilda, who remain in the limelight of this tumultuous saga.
