She says she was weak from having just finished a Multiple Sclerosis treatment , and when she said as much as they exchanged keys, he went off.
In her court documents, Blair claimed that he physically assaulted her while she was lying on the sofa and aggressively began to strangle her. The alleged violence escalated, ultimately causing Blair to fall to the floor and begin bleeding from her nose, before Carlson left, per the star's account. While speaking with officers that evening, per the document, Blair's nose began to bleed again and she passed out, leading to her trip via ambulance to the hospital. Photos captured by the LAPD show bruising around her neck and chin, as well as marks on her hands.
Police urged her to file for a protective order, which was granted February 25. Carlson responded by filing for his own restraining order, but he was denied.The National Domestic Violence Hotline
