The actor who played Eddie Winslow on the TV sitcom “Family Matters” has been issued a temporary order to stay at least 100 yards away from his ex-wife, Karrine Steffans, after he allegedly beat her savagely with a belt in front of her 12-year-old son.
According to court docs, Karrine claims Darius McCrary “choked me from behind and beat me with a belt” during an argument in February.
Karrine claims McCrary struck again in November — choking her and shoving her into a car in front of a large crowd of people at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in L.A.
Now Karrine is asking the judge to make the restraining order more permanent — she’s scheduled to appear in court next week.
McCrary, 38, and Steffans, 32, divorced earlier this year after almost one year of marriage.
Clearly this is a dysfunctional relationship that isn’t going to end with the issuance of a restraining order. I’m tired of people blaming the men in cases like this when it’s obvious that the female contributes to the abuse in some way.
Both of these individuals are sick people. This isn’t the first time Steffans has accused McCrary of abusing her. She has the means and the resources to get away from him and stay away.
