David Beador, Shannon Beador's ex-husband, accused his estranged wife, Lesley Beador, of domestic violence following their nasty split.
Lesley first filed for a restraining order on June 26. In the court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, she asked the court to order David to stay 100 yards away from her and their daughter, Anna, following an alleged incident involving Lesley's mother in February.
In response to the filing, David submitted his own documents to seek legal protection against Lesley, who reportedly abused him physically "on several occasions." He noted that "only a small portion of those incidents" were shared in "previous domestic violence actions."
David called Lesley a "pathological liar" while detailing the "countless incidents of domestic violence and abuse" he endured to remain in contact with his daughter.
"We started to argue back and forth, made several demeaning comments, and she was again attempting to provoke me as she has done on many occasions in the past," David detailed one incident, which reportedly occurred in June after a friend complimented him in front of Lesley.
He recounted as he shared the photos of his alleged injuries, he took days after the incident: "During our argument, Lesley physically attacked me, gouging large chunks of skin out of my arm. It should be further noted that during the altercation, Lesley actually shoved her fingers into my mouth, attempting to silence me, and later developed a self-serving narrative that I unilaterally bit her fingers!"
David made further accusations against Lesley, including cornering him in the bathroom where she allegedly slapped him at least four times and accusing him of being gay.
The court granted his request for a temporary restraining order, which he later dropped amid their divorce proceedings.
