While there, she claims he flew into a jealous, violent rage.

“He punched me several times in the head! I begged him to stop because the baby was on the couch just a few feet from where he punched me,” the woman wrote in the restraining order application.

She continued: “He then picked me up and threw me into my TV. The TV began to fall and he turned to make sure I wasn’t getting up. As I laid on the floor he began to yell at me, telling me I’m destructive. He then picked me up off the floor and off my feet and body-slammed me into our son’s bouncy seat.”

That’s when she says Stacy said “I love you” to their baby boy, and escaped from the house.

In the restraining order documents, the woman adds, “I fear for my life and my children’s lives.”

She says she went to the hospital, where she was treated for a possible head wound, as well as bumps and bruises.
