*Actor Columbus Short has been granted a temporary restraining order against his wife, Aida Short, after accusing her of physical abuse and mistreatment of their puppy.
Court documents reveal the legal move was sparked by a heated altercation, sparked by Short’s claims she kicked and threw their 10-week-old puppy for having an accident indoors, per TMZ. Short alleges Aida reacted by mishandling the puppy, leading him to step in. The situation escalated, with Short claiming Aida struck him repeatedly in the face, causing a busted eye and visible bruising.
Police were called to the scene after a neighbor reported hearing Aida “screaming very loudly as if she was being murdered.” Upon arrival, officers noted Short’s injuries, resulting in Aida’s arrest. In his legal filing, Short paints a disturbing picture of ongoing domestic turmoil.
He accuses Aida of previously kicking their puppy over house-training issues and attacking him with a glass trophy during another dispute. Short also claims Aida has bitten him, brandished knives, and subjected him to daily verbal abuse in front of their two children.
Describing Aida as “emotionally unstable,” Short argues that her volatile behavior has made their home unsafe. He is seeking court intervention to keep Aida 100 yards away from him, their children, and their pets.
