Something odd that crossed my mind: I read that they adopted a little dog a year or so ago. If either one of them is truly violent, I really hope the dog is with a friend or a relative. No person ever deserves to be hit, and certainly no pet does, either.
The dog was mentioned in the media reports and divorce proceedings last month. I think it said they were arguing over who should keep the dog, and I can't remember who the dog ended up with or whether it is back with them now.
