TW: domestic violence

naming & shaming: michael fassbender

Michael Fassbender’s ex — Sunawin Andrews — filed a petition for a restraining order against him earlier this month [written in March 2010] in L.A. County Superior Court.

In the documents, Andrews claims Michael hit the bottle hard during a film festival in July of 2009 — and after he woke up in a puddle of his own urine, he became violent and “threw me over a chair breaking my nose.”

Andrews also says Michael allegedly dragged her alongside their car one night after they had an argument about one of her ex-boyfriends, causing her to twist her left ankle, blow out her left knee cap and burst an ovarian cyst.

Andrews says she fears for her life and wants to keep Michael 100 yards away from herself and her two children — and wants over $20,000 to help her pay her medical bills from the injuries he allegedly caused.

Hmmm, this is very upsetting! I have tried googling about this but it mostly comes up with tumblr/celebrity gossip site links. I also read that Sunawin Andrews previously got a restraining order against another boyfriend, the porn baron Seth Warshavsky, who claims that Andrews was trying to extort money from him - but he would, wouldn’t he? 

Sigh. I’m inclined to think it’s probably true, which is horrible. And you can see just how many big big stars are guilty of similar crimes. But it all gets swept under the carpet because they are, by and large, talented white men. Blehhhhhhh.
