"Scandal" star Columbus Short has been thrown out
of his house and his wife has filed for divorce ... after he allegedly put a
knife to her throat last week and threatened to kill her and himself.
According to a new restraining order -- obtained by TMZ --
Short got into it with his wife April 7 at their Chatsworth home, where she
claims he came into her room intoxicated with a wine bottle in hand, acted like
he was going to hit her with the bottle and then unloaded the wine on her.
Tuere Short claims Columbus then ran to the kitchen for a
knife, pinned her to the couch and began choking her. She says he then demanded they play a game he
called "Truth or Truth." He
allegedly said if she lied he would stab her in the leg.
She says he then started naming men he believed she was
having affairs with. She denied them all
but he allegedly then put the knife to her throat and threatened
murder/suicide. As she tried escaping
she says he slashed her tire.
The restraining order requires Columbus to move out of the
house. We've learned cops were there
today to ensure the peace as he moved out.
Tuere also filed for divorce Tuesday, citing irreconcilable
differences and asking for sole custody of their 2-year-old daughter.
In addition to the incident April 7th, Short has been charged
with criminal domestic violence and child abuse for allegedly abusing Tuere
while their child and his son were in the house. He pled not guilty. And he was arrested for yet another alleged
domestic violence incident a few weeks earlier.
It's interesting ... just last month -- after the first 2
domestic violence arrests -- Columbus and his wife put on a united front at The
Grove in L.A.
