Indiana Pacer Earl Watson filed for divorce, then rescinded his decision, after he chose to work out his marital differences with actress-wife Jennifer Freeman, whom he accused of savagely attacking him late one night.
TMZ reports that according to court documents, the couple's troubles began on August 1st, when Freeman received a text message at 11:00 p.m.
Watson became suspicious and decided to check his wife's cell phone. Freeman then became so angry with the invasion of privacy that she struck Watson in the face twice with an open hand.
Watson then went on to testify that Freeman, who played "Claire" on the now defunct sitcom "My Wife and Kids," managed to bite in to his wrist like a rabid dog and would not let go until she drew blood. Once she allegedly let go of his bleeding wrist, she chomped on to his chest, and again, bit until blood spewed.
Watson also claims that the Mother of his 10-month-old child was not quite done with him. According to Watson, his wife picked up an iron and tried to strike him with it, but somehow, he managed to knock it out of her hands.
The apparently discombobulated baller filed for divorce soon after the horrific events occurred.
There is a twist in this story, though. According to TMZ, Watson has had a change of heart: Watson's lawyer, William Briggs, told the celeb gossip website that his client plans on withdrawing the divorce petition and that he and Freeman have actually reconciled. "The couple has reconciled their differences and plans to make their marriage work," Briggs stated.
Watson better not cross her again.
