Following the physical assault, she reportedly applied for a restraining order for herself and her son.

"He punched me several times in the head! I begged him to stop because the baby was on the couch just a few feet from where he punched me”

She added:

"He then picked me up and threw me into my TV. The TV began to fall and he turned to make sure I wasn't getting up. As I laid on the floor he began to yell at me, telling me I'm destructive. He then picked me up off the floor and off my feet and body slammed me into our son's bouncy seat."

Stacy said “I love you” to her son before bolting the scene as the police were about to arrive.
