🚨 Serious Allegations Rock Columbus Short’s Marriage
Actor and choreographer Columbus Short has been granted a temporary restraining order against his wife, Aida Short, following disturbing claims of physical violence, emotional abuse, and animal cruelty.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the former “Scandal” star says things reached a boiling point earlier this week when an argument over their 10-week-old puppy turned violent.
🐾 The Puppy Incident That Sparked The Arrest
Columbus claims Aida became aggressive with their young dog on Monday after it had an accident inside the house.
He says she roughed up the puppy, prompting him to intervene.
That’s when he alleges Aida lashed out at him, hitting him multiple times in the face, busting his eye open and leaving him bloodied.
A neighbor, reportedly alarmed by Aida “screaming very loudly as if she was being murdered,” called police.
When officers arrived, Columbus says they saw bruises on him, which led to Aida’s arrest.
🏡 Ongoing Allegations Of Abuse And Volatile Behavior
In his court filing, Columbus outlines a troubling pattern of violence and instability at home. He alleges:
- Aida previously kicked their puppy in anger over house training issues
- During that earlier altercation, Columbus says she used a glass trophy to injure him
- He faces daily verbal abuse in front of their two children
- Aida has allegedly bitten him and used knives during heated confrontations
Columbus describes his wife as “emotionally unstable” and claims the ongoing tension and volatility have created an unsafe environment.
🛑 What Columbus Is Asking The Court to Do
The actor asked the judge to take the following actions:
- Order Aida to stay 100 yards away from him, their two children, and their dogs at all times
- Remove Aida from the family home
- Require her to continue paying rent, despite the requested separation
