Paula Patton Alleges Robin Thicke Physically Abused Her

Paula Patton has sworn to a judge that her ex-husband, singer Robin Thicke, physically abused her during their marriage, TMZ reports. According to her statement, she and Thicke got into a fight in 2013 and he punched her in the upper body before pushing her to the ground and threatening to “bash her fucking head in.”

The claims are consistent with a domestic violence restraining order filed in May 2013 at the Cannes Film Festival. The allegations have resurfaced during a custody battle between Patton and Thicke for their son, Julian. In addition to cheating allegations and claims of cocaine abuse, Patton has accused Thicke of shouting expletives at their son and spanking him without reason. 

An earlier TMZ report revealed that Thicke has temporarily lost custody of their son, and that he is currently prohibited from going near the child or his ex-wife. According to the report, Thicke’s lawyer is claiming that Patton is being investigated by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services for emotional abuse. Thicke asked for an order giving him sole physical and legal custody but was denied by a judge. In 2014, Thicke released his latest studio album, Paula, an ode to his then estranged wife, led by the single “Get Her Back.” Patton filed for divorce later that year.
