Washington
(ANI):
Gossip
Girl
actress
Kelly
Rutherford
has
been
dubbed
violent
by
her
multi-millionaire
ex-partner
Daniel
Giersch,
according
to
reports.
The
comment
may
further
heat
up
couple's
custody
battle
for
their
only
child.
The
four-month-pregnant
starlet,
who
plays
Lily
van
der
Woodsen
on
the
American
TV
teen
drama,
had
knocked
the
legal
doors
for
divorce
and
was
presently
locked
in
a
custody
battle
for
two-year-old
son
Hermes.
Fox
News
reported
that
Rutherford
had
filed
an
application
in
Santa
Monica
Branch
of
the
Los
Angeles
Superior
Court
on
January
9
to
seek
permission
to
take
Hermes
along
with
her
to
New
York
where
she
would
be
filming
for
the
series.
However,
Giersch
had
immediately
objected
to
the
request
saying
it
would
be
'absolutely
detrimental'
to
their
child's
well
being.
He
further
alleged
that
his
former
celebrity
wife
was
'typically
stressed
out'
due
to
her
busy
schedule
and
had
also
acted
violently
in
the
past
in
front
of
their
child.
Giersch's
legal
papers
claimed
that
the
star
had
previously
threatened
him
with
an
open
fist
during
an
angry
swipe
and
had
also
hurled
a
laptop
at
him,
calling
him
'terrible
names'
in
the
presence
of
little
Hermes.
Rutherford
has
been
denied
her
request
to
hop
interstate
with
her
son
and
the
court
is
to
take
up
the
issue
on
January
21.
