Actor Columbus Short’s wife has accused him of drunkenly choking her during a heated argument and was granted a restraining order this week only days after the Scandal star was granted a similar restraining order against her. Short’s request was first granted after alleging that his wife, 39, kicked their 10-week-old puppy before striking her husband and drawing blood. Shortly after, Aida Abramyan-Short accused her husband attacking her while she was doing laundry at home. She claims that her husband had been drinking when he started screaming at her to stop slamming “the f---ing door, b---h” He then yelled that her “mouth is gonna get you in trouble.” Then, her husband allegedly pushed and grabbed her before putting both of his hands around her neck to choke her. This is not the first time he has been arrested for domestic violence. The Stomp the Yard actor pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence against his ex-wife Tanee McCall and was sentenced in 2018 for allegedly striking his now-wife during an argument. He was also charged with two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence and child endangerment in 2022. Short has been married three times before and Abramyan-Short is his fourth wife. Abramyan-Short’s request for temporary sole custody of their children was denied. The two wed in 2016 and have two sons together, Denzel and Liam.
