Actor Columbus Short’s wife, Aida Abramyan-Short, has been granted a restraining order after claiming he drunkenly choked her during a heated argument on the same day he claimed she kicked their 10-week-old puppy.
A judge signed off on Aida’s request for a temporary restraining order Monday after she claimed the “Stomp the Yard” actor had attacked her while she was doing laundry at their home on July 7, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Aida claimed her husband, 42, had been heavily drinking and started yelling at her to not “slam the f–king door b–ch,” before shouting that her “mouth is gonna get you in trouble.” She claimed things got violent soon after.
Aida alleged the “Scandal” star pushed and grabbed her before putting both hands around her neck to choke her.
She claims the situation escalated enough that she screamed, “My husband is choking me, help!” to a neighbor and pleaded with them to call the police.
Aida provided the court with photos showing her with bruises, scratches, and a black eye that she said was from the alleged abusive altercation with her husband, the outlet adds.
She claimed the actor has a “severe” drinking problem that makes him get violent. She claimed that his alleged hot-headed behavior led to his being arrested for DUI.
Aida further alleged that the “Cadillac Records” actor has been abusive to her in front of their children, and feels they wouldn’t be safe if left alone with him.
While the judge granted her a temporary restraining order, her request for temporary sole custody of their two children was denied.
The Post has reached out to Short’s reps for comment.
Aida’s court filing comes a week after Short himself was already granted a temporary restraining order against her.
The “Stomp the Yard” actor claimed Aida kicked and threw their 10-week-old puppy, then attacked him on the same day she now told the court he choked her, TMZ reported.
Short claimed he confronted her about roughing up the young pup, which led to her hitting him multiple times in the face, busting his eye open and drawing blood.
The actor claimed she had been abusive towards the dog since he brought it home on June 21.
He further alleged that during the attack, concerned neighbors heard Aida “screaming very loudly as if she was being murdered,” and called the police.
However, when cops arrived at their home, they saw he was bruised and placed her under arrest.
The “True to the Game” actor also claimed his wife is verbally abusive to him in front of their kids, and has even threatened to use a knife against him in the past, according to court documents.
Short and Aida have been married since 2016 and share two kids together.
In 2018, the actor was sentenced for allegedly striking Aida during an argument, TMZ previously reported.
In 2014, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence as part of a no-jail plea agreement with his ex-wife, Tanee McCall.
