Marvin Gaye III Files For Divorce After Being Arrested For Domestic Violence
Just two months after being detained for allegedly pointing a gun at his wife, Marvin Gaye III filed for divorce.
In his Calabasas home on January 12, Marvin III is said to have violently abused his wife and his cousin, according to earlier reports.
After Wendy claimed that Marvin III grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground until her cousin stepped in and stopped him, Wendy obtained a restraining order against her husband. However, Marvin III then allegedly started physically assaulting both women. Wendy also claims that Marvin III threatened them with a gun.
He turned himself in and was booked on two charges; felony assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor domestic violence. He posted a $50,000 bond and was released.
Legal documents obtained by TMZ, revealed that Marvin Gaye‘s son listed the date of separation as January 12, which is interesting because it’s the same date as his domestic violence arrest.
Marvin III is going with the usual “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and he’s asking to block the court’s ability to award Wendy spousal support.
