Sheena Greitens, the ex-wife of former Missouri governor Eric Greitens, has accused the top GOP Senate candidate of abuse.
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, now a leading Republican Senate candidate, was physically abusive and demonstrated such"unstable and coercive behavior" that steps were taken to limit his access to firearms, according to new allegations from his ex-wife revealed in court records.
In 2019, one of her sons came home from a visit with his dad"with a swollen face, bleeding gums and loose tooth," she said. Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican who will become Missouri's senior senator when Blunt steps down, also said it was"time for Eric Greitens to leave this race."RELATED: St. Louis couple, in RNC speech, defends show of weapons | WATCH
The behavior was so alarming, she wrote, that on three separate occasions in February, April and May 2018,"multiple people other than myself were worried enough to intervene to limit Eric's access to firearms."At one point, Eric Greitens made a reference to the fact that he had the children - and she didn't - while trying to persuade Sheena Greitens to delete emails she had sent to the family therapist seeking help, according to the affidavit.
