Family Members Cast Member Accused of Domestic Abuse
Posted on Dec 17, 2010 9:15am PST
Darius McCrary of Family Matters fame is denying allegations from his ex-wife of domestic violence. The former hip-hop video star, Karrine Steffans, has stated that he abused her; however, McCrary alleges that she is just trying to ruin his reputation.
Despite his refusal of the abuse comments Steffans was successful in obtaining a temporary restraining order against her ex. She told a judge that McCrary beat her with a belt in front of her son this February, and then attacked her in public a few months later. A court date later this month will reveal whether she will be able to make the restraining order permanent.
McCrary has issued several statements about the incident, saying that she "didn't take the finality of the divorce well and has resorted to her old tricks of public defamation." He goes on to say that he would never resort to violence against another person, including his ex.
If you are a victim of domestic abuse, put an end to maltreatment by hiring a family law attorney.
