Adrienne Maloof Takes Out Restraining Order Against Paul Nassif, Claims He Choked Their Son

By Debbie Emery - RadarOnline.com Reporter

Adrienne Maloof's bitter divorce took an even nastier turn on Wednesday when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took a temporary restraining order out against her estranged husband, Dr. Paul Nassif, claiming he choked one of their sons last week.

The 51-year-old reality star alleges that Nassif, 50, throttled one of their three children after he was being rowdy during a drive, then later that same day he took another of the boys and "threw him in the corner" for misbehaving during bath-time.

The TRO states that the esteemed plastic surgeon must stay at least 100 yards from both Adrienne's home and the kids' schools, and was made by the same judge who granted Maloof temporary custody.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Adrienne recently voiced her concern over Paul's decision to carry a gun in his briefcase because of her fear that the boys could get their hands on it. "Paul keeps the handgun unloaded in his briefcase with the ammunition in another bag, but Adrienne is still worried about it," a source told RadarOnline.com.

A hearing is scheduled for October 9 when it will be decided if the restraining order is made permanent.

Nassif filed for divorce in August, when he asked for joint custody of sons Gavin, 9, and 6-year-old twins, Christian and Collin, however Adrienne is fighting for primary custody.
