A judge on Wednesday awarded The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof temporary custody of her three sons, after she alleged that her estranged husband, Paul Nassif, choked one of them last week.RELATED: 'Real Housewives' Cast Members List Home for $26 Million
A rep for Nassif confirmed the court decision to PEOPLE, adding that his legal team was blindsided by the allegations, which Nassif denies.
Maloof, 51, claims that Nassif, 50, with whom she is locked in a bitter divorce and custody battle, turned around and choked one of the boys for being rowdy on a drive last Thursday, TMZ.com reported.
Later that same day, Maloof alleges, Nassif took one boy who was misbehaving during bathtime and "threw him in the corner."
Nassif's lawyer, Lisa Meyer, characterized the claims as "gamesmanship at its worst," and said Maloof wasn't present during either alleged incident. "It is a sad day when parents have to stoop to the level of making false allegations against another parent," Meyer said.
Maloof has requested a restraining order be taken out against Nassif, which will be heard in court on Oct. 9. In the meantime, the court awarded her a temporary restraining order that denies Nassif the opportunity to contact, or be within 100 yards, of Maloof or their kids, Gavin, 9, and 6-year-old twins, Christian and Collin.
Nassif, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, filed for divorce in August. He has requested joint custody of 9-year-old Gavin and 6-year-old twins Christian and Collin. Maloof is seeking primary custody.
Not surprising. she seems like the type who would use those tactics to ruin her ex's reputation and turn the kids against him. low life tyranny
ReplyDeleteShe seems like a " it's all about me " biotch. I do not like her. Period!
DeleteThe both of them aren't trust worthy. I never liked them. But needless to say, it's sad for the kids.
ReplyDeleteI always like them. I don't think she really had much use for her husband. She didn't seem to give a damn what he was doing or where he went. I feel bad for her kids. I know he's a cosmetic surgeon but is she's (only) 51, them I'm 29
